No longer do you need to wait until the last turkey burp is over before shopping for Black Friday bargains – 2025 is all about getting in there early and finding the best deals possible. We’ve been hard at work rounding up some of the best offers already live from the likes of Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart to help you start saving money already.

It won’t surprise you to learn that Black Friday is pretty much in full swing at Amazon – it’s already begun discounting its own devices (such as the Echo Pop, Dot, Blink range of web cameras, Kindles and more), ahead of the big sales day.
While there is a good chance prices could fall further – for instance, the Echo Pop is down to just $21.99, but it fell to $17.99 in 2024 – if you want to get your shopping done early, you’re still making big savings.
Wait, Black Friday is here already?
Well, no – you know that. There’s not been a sniff of turkey yet. But these days the Black Friday deals come earlier and earlier as retailers try to stretch out the savings and reduce the clamor for deals all on one day.
In the days when getting a Black Friday bargain was as simple as getting to the store door at midnight and being ready to sprint, the sales could all be compacted into one day with greater ease – when things were bought, they were taken home.
But now Black Friday is a mostly online event, it can cause a lot of issues with shipping if all the sales come at once, so by starting earlier and making the sales longer, it makes it much easier to deliver purchases on time and doesn’t cause as much strain on logistics.
The best early Black Friday deals we’ve seen
While there are just loads of deals out there already, we’ve selected a few that look good based on the early reductions. As usual, the advice is to set a budget that you’re happy with, and if you see something at a good enough price, buy it while you can.
Sure, they may go down in price come Black Friday proper, but if they don’t, and the current deal sells out, you’ll be kicking yourself that you didn’t just grab it while you could.

However, if you want to get someone that ‘big present’ for the holidays and want to get it ticked off soon, these are the deals we think you should check out.
Apple 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch (M4)
Apple
If you’re looking for a powerhouse MacBook, the Air range has become something to consider, thanks to the awesome grunt of the M4 chip inside. It’s not the fastest any more – that’s now the M5 – but the previous-gen chip is still lightning quick and offers all day battery life too.
$749 at AmazonSony WH-1000XM6
Sony
Called ‘the best headphones for pretty much anyone’ in our review, these are the cans to get if you want to spend a little more on some over-ear magic. They’ve got excellent sound quality, are top for calls and feel premium in the hand to boot – a personal audio treat if you want the gift of great-sounding tunes.
$398 at AmazonSony WH-1000XM4
Sony
Sure, these are four years old now, but they still have incredible sound quality and offer excellent noise cancellation. Our review gave them an easy five stars, and if you didn’t know of the newer models, you’d think these were great. Plus they’re half the cost of the latest versions.
$159.99 at Best BuyWhoop One 5.0
Whoop
Our reviewers loved this band, enjoying long battery life and a comprehensive, data packed app. Sure, you need to keep up a subscription, but the One model is the cheapest out there, delivering almost unrivalled insights into your health and wellbeing. Thoroughly recommended.
$179 at AmazonSponsored: Roborock F25 GT
Roborock
If you’re someone that’s never tried a vacuum / mop combo, it can be a daunting thought. They can leak, leave streaks and make you feel like you should just get two devices. But the F25 not only promises great performance, but bends into tight spaces with ease too.
$189 at AmazonWD 20TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive
Western Digital
While this hard drive can work on a Mac, if you’ve got a Windows machine you’re getting yourself an instantly-incredible amount of storage for less cash than usual – with quick plug and play specs and USB 3.2 compatibility, you’ll be able to save your photos, videos and more swiftly with one click.
$269 at AmazonAmazon Basics 100-Pack AA batteries
Amazon
Why are we recommending batteries? Because we’re a tech site, and so many things need a battery or two these days. Grabbing this mega pack while they’re down in price is an easy win if you’re constantly running out – although if you want to be more eco-friendly, you can get 24 rechargeable ones for the same price.
$22.89 at AmazonSamsung Galaxy Watch 7 40mm
Samsung
We proclaimed ‘don’t you dare ignore it’ when we reviewed this watch from Samsung – with the bright display, high durability and excellent connectivity with Galaxy phones, this is a great buy for Samsung phone owners itching for a smartwatch, but not wanting to part with much cash.
$129 at AmazonAmazon Kindle 16 GB (newest model)
Amazon
We don’t need to explain what a Kindle is, but we can tell you this one has a six-week battery life, brighter illumination that before, better contrast on the 6-inch display and a faster page-turning experience. It’s also now in ‘matcha green’ – so if you were looking for a reason to upgrade, now’s the time.
$79.99 at AmazonAmazon Echo Pop
Amazon
Like the Kindle, it’s you probably know what the Pop does – it brings Alexa cheaply to the parts of your home where you don’t mind it getting bashed (maybe in the kitchen or a kid’s bedroom). It’s sonically basic but does a good job of helping you control a smart home with your voice. It might drop a few dollars, but it’s already a good saving.
$21.99 at AmazonAmazon Echo Dot
Amazon
When you want a bit more power to your listening experience, the Echo Dot is the right blend of cost (under $32) and powerful sound (we found it to be impressive in our testing, far better than the predecessor). For easy smart home prowess this is a good choice – you could kit out your whole house for just over $150 with these.
$31.99 at AmazonRing Battery Doorbell
Amazon
Plug it in or keep it on the battery, charge it quickly with USB-C, this is a versatile doorbell that’s now cheaper than you could have bought it for most of the year. While likely ripe for an update, the older age of this model means the price is coming down nicely – $50 is the cheapest we’ve seen this model.
$49.99 at AmazonAmazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select
Amazon
We’ve chosen the Select model of the Fire TV Stick as it’s a way of getting 4K streaming from Amazon for under $20. While you get more HDR formats if you spend a little more, if you just want high-end resolution and audio (Dolby Atmos with HDMI passthrough, don’t you know) this is a great choice.
$19.99 at AmazonBlink Mini 2
Amazon
“The Blink Mini 2 works incredibly well for a $40 camera.” That’s the verdict of our glowing review, and now it’s on sale for more than half that price. You’ll need an optional power adaptor for outdoor use, but it does come with an inbuilt spotlight – very good value for the low cost of Full HD streaming.
$17.99 at AmazonOura Ring 4
Oura
The Oura Ring series has taken off in terms of popularity in recent months, and the latest version can now be had for under $250. It comes with advanced fitness metrics, great health tracking and deeper sleep insights that you’ll get from a smartwatch. It can take a minute to get used to, but it’s worth it once you get up to speed.
$249 at Best BuyRay-Ban Meta Wayfarer glasses
Version 1.0.0 Ray Ban
Lightweight, stylish, great speaker quality and lots of AI features – these were just some of the highlights from our review. We’re now in a world where smart glasses are a real choice – we rated these at 4.5 stars out of 5 at $300 as the best smart glasses for most people – so $60 off makes them a real steal.
