The moment Halloween wraps, we turn to the holiday season. For most people, that means Hallmark holiday specials, planning Thanksgiving, and Christmas music on the radio. But for Mashable’s shopping team, it means only one thing: It’s time to prep for Black Friday sales. Yes, we know that Black Friday 2026 doesn’t technically start until Nov. 27, but that hasn’t stopped retailers.
So, we are officially on the hunt for the best early Black Friday deals. And as of this writing, we’ve found huge $200 discounts on MacBook Air laptops, 53% discounts on Bose noise-canceling headphones, and 50% savings on award-winning QLED TVs, not to mention discounts on Pokémon Lego sets and other items on our holiday wishlists.
So, if you don’t want to wait for Thanksgiving to get your hands on the best gifts of the year, retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Sephora, and Best Buy already have plenty of early deals to entice you. And in a year of relentless price hikes, it’s nice to finally get some relief.
How do we choose the best deals? The Mashable shopping team has an encyclopedic knowledge of the latest tech gadgets, gifts, and trending products. We use price-tracking tools, insider knowledge, and our years of experience covering sales like this to search for the best discounts. We’re looking for first-ever price drops on new products, steep markdowns on past-gen products, and record-low prices on must-have items from Apple, Ninja, Shark, Dyson, and Lego.

The Apple MacBook Air is a stunner of a laptop, with the blazing-fast M5 chip. If you have a MacBook that’s a few generations behind, you’ll instantly notice a difference with the speakers and cameras, not to mention Siri AI. In the weeks before Black Friday, this popular laptop is $250 off, bringing it down to its lowest price in almost six months. It’s also the best price we’ve seen since Apple raised prices over the summer.
Read Mashable’s full review of the Apple MacBook Air (M5).

The best Black Friday deals always include savings on noise-canceling headphones. And the Bose QuietComfort are not only among the most comfortable headphones in the world (according to our headphones reviewer) but also among the best mid-range headphones you can buy. And when they’re marked down 53%? Nothing else comes close. Pick up these ANC headphones while they’re marked down to just $169 and thank us later.

We consider ourselves Kindle experts, and we’ve been eagerly testing all of the new Kindle e-readers Amazon released this fall. Even though the new Kindles just came out, you can already pick up the base model and the new Kindle Click page turner in a discounted bundle. BookTok has been waiting a long time for a proper Kindle page-turner accessory, and we’re big fans.
If you’re not interested in the Kindle Click, we expect all of the new Kindles to get their first real discounts when Black Friday begins, so you may want to add them to your cart and wait until Nov. 27.

We love Pokémon. We love Lego. Putting them together just makes sense, especially as we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. Legos are always popular holiday gifts for kids and adults alike, and we’re anticipating big Black Friday Lego deals. The pre-Black Friday season is also a great time to order Lego Advent calendars.
