Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and as we move deeper into Cyber Weekend, the deals are predictably great. Don't thank the Apple Store for that: Third-party retailers are the ones offering the biggest cash discounts. (Apple's 2025 Black Friday deal is just its usual free gift card promo.)
For the best selection of Apple deals, head to Amazon: At the time of writing, most of the latest AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, and MacBooks were sitting at record-low prices there. Competitors like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are matching some, but not all of Amazon's offers.
If you'd happily sacrifice a few current-gen features for the sake of an extra-steep discount, check out Walmart's wares. It still has some exclusive deals on the three-year-old Apple Watch SE 2 (now just $129), the M1 MacBook Air (now $549), and the A14 Bionic iPad (now $349 with 256GB of storage).
And a little PSA: If you've been hesitating on buying, you should complete your purchase sooner rather than later. We've been tracking deals and noticed prices are already spiking and changing as the weekend goes on. For instance, the AirPods 4 with ANC jumped from their lowest price and are currently sitting at $139.99. Likewise, the AirPods Pro 2 were briefly cheaper but are now sitting firmly at $189.95. Deals really don't last, especially with this brand, so grab them before they're gone.
To give you a head start on finding deals, we've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best Cyber Weekend Apple deals below. We'll continue to update it as we move into Cyber Monday, so keep checking back. In the meantime, here are the 45 best Apple deals as of Nov. 29.
Apple's coin-sized Bluetooth tracker is the perfect sub-$50 stocking stuffer for iPhone owners. Amazon and Walmart both have it on sale for the record-low price of $17.97, or 38% off.
Apple's most affordable earbuds have a five-hour battery life, a one-size-fits-most design, and support for Siri head gestures. The non-ANC pair is only $69 at Amazon and Walmart this Black Friday, which is a $60 savings and a new all-time low.
Apple's previous-gen budget wearable has a bright OLED screen, a water-resistant design, and most of the features available on the newer Apple Watch SE 3. You miss out on sleep apnea notifications, temperature sensing, fast charging, and wrist gestures, plus the always-on display. If you don't consider those essentials, the SE 2 is a bargain for only $129 during Walmart's Black Friday sale. That's almost half off.
The 11th-gen iPad has a 10.9-inch display, 12MP cameras, and enough power for everyday tasks. Our reviewer called it "a real steal" at its usual sticker price of $349, but you'll pay just $274 if you buy it from Amazon or Walmart this Black Friday. That's its lowest price ever and $5 better than Best Buy's deal.
Fast, pretty, and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. We didn't think it would get any cheaper than $799 this season — that was its regular sale price from August to early November — but Amazon and Best Buy proved us wrong.
It's been a tough year to be a streaming binge-watcher. Nearly every major streamer got more expensive in 2025, including Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. So, needless to say, we were extra excited about this year's selection of Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, right? The good news is that even with Black Friday itself done and dusted, the deals are still available as we head into Cyber Monday.
The Black Friday sale event is well known as the best time to sign up for streaming services, thanks to serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. This year has been no different. If you're looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, there's still time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.
Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu have all thrown their hats in the ring with discounts, as have plenty of other streamers via Prime Video add-ons. So you can start weighing all of your streaming options for the season. Plus, you still have time to sign up. Most of these offers will be live through Dec. 1.
One thing to note: Most Black Friday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in you haven't been a subscriber in at least a month or so). If you qualify, you can lock in some serious savings on streaming apps.
Check out all the best Black Friday streaming deals still live.
In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like The Last of Us, The Pitt, and IT: Welcome to Derry), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.
Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video or Hulu add-on.
While we're pretty disappointed that Hulu didn't resurrect its 99 cents deal for 2025, this bundle deal almost makes up for it. Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score both Disney+ and Hulu with ads for just $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month for both, that's $8 per month in savings or $96 total. We saw the same bundle drop to only $2.99 during Black Friday 2024, but both streamers raised their prices this year, so the Black Friday deal has been appropriately adjusted for inflation. And considering each streamer is $11.99 per month on its own, this is an excellent deal. It's also a good way to lock in a solid price for the year since Disney and Hulu will eventually be merged into a single app — with a higher price tag, no doubt. And hey, maybe we'll still be surprised with the 99-cent Hulu Black Friday deal.
Apple TV+, just like several other streamers, raised its subscription cost by 30 percent a few months back, from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year, is much appreciated. You can take advantage of this deal directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber.
Apple TV+ features a virtually all-original lineup filled with Emmy-winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. TL;DR: You'll get more than your money's worth with this Black Friday deal.
Sling's Day Pass is a solid way to tune into live sports, events, and shows without having to splurge on a full subscription. Sometimes you just want to watch a single game and be on your way. It's usually $4.99 for a day, but for Black Friday, Sling is offering its Orange Day Pass for only $1 through Dec. 1 at 3 a.m. ET. The Orange package includes ESPN and all its affiliates, TNT, TBS, AMC, IFC, and more. That means you'll be able to tune into live college football rivalry games on ESPN this weekend — like Georgia Tech vs. Georgia on Friday and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee and Alabama vs. Auburn on Saturday — for just a buck.
It's not uncommon to see Amazon offering its music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited, for free during shopping events (this year, you can get three free months). It is, however, quite rare for Spotify to offer its Premium service for free. Through Dec. 31, new subscribers can score four free months of Spotify Premium, no questions asked. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50 total.
With a Premium account, you can enjoy ad-free listening, collaborate with friends in real time, download music for offline listening, get full control over your music and playlists, unlock 15 hours per month of audiobook time, and finally enjoy lossless audio. You'll also gain access to the famous Wrapped stats and new weekly listening stats.
If you already have a Walmart+ membership, or if you were considering signing up to take advantage of the Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale, then you'll unlock free access to either Peacock or Paramount+ for one year. Even better, Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off for Black Friday, so you'll pay just $49 for 12 months of access. On top of these streaming deals, you'll also get perks like free grocery and pharmacy delivery. If you're not interested in a Walmart+ membership, we're still holding out for the standalone Peacock Black Friday deal, but you can already get the Paramount+ Black Friday deal on its own.
There are a lot of Amazon Fire TV Sticks on sale this Black Friday but the better savings are on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. Roku beats Amazon's competing model by $0.99, but it's also just a better device. When we put the Amazon Fire TV Stick head-to-head with the Roku, the Roku was the clear winner for its easy navigation, brilliant picture quality, and buffer-free streaming. Grab a Roku Streaming Stick Plus for just $19, saving you 52% off this Black Friday.

160+ Amazon Black Friday deals still live: AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and LG TVs are still availableAmazon's Black Friday 2025 deals are still here, and you can buy Fire TVs starting at $99. Shop record prices on Kindle, Bose, Lego, and Apple products.
Black Friday is wrapping up but that doesn't mean we've taken our foot off the gas. In fact, we're charging forward to Cyber Monday.
Since Black Friday has technically passed, many retailers, including Amazon, are now shifting their attention to Cyber Monday. This is great news for you, as it means you have a little extra time to shop online if you didn't get to it yesterday. Basically, if you see a see a product marked as a 'Cyber Monday deal,' it's likely to stay on sale through Dec. 1.
We're seeing a bunch of epic deals on some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025. Amazon even brought back its 1-cent Haul deals.
The majority of Amazon's deals are record-low prices but be warned, deals are selling out and increasing in price. Overnight, the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC rose to $139.99 from $109.99. To track last-minute Black Friday prices, plug a product URL into camelcamelcamel, the Mashable shopping team's secret weapon for finding the lowest prices at Amazon.
The last minute Black Friday and early Cyber Monday deals are live, and you don't have time to waste. We'll be updating this page with new Amazon deals as they drop, so keep checking back through the end of Cyber Weekend. Of course, it's worth checking out the best deals from competing retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart to make sure you're getting the best deal (we curate our lists to only include deals that are the actual best ones across retailers). If you don't feel like scrolling through all of that, you can keep up with the best deals across the internet with our live deals tracker or get them texted straight to your phone.
We've been waiting for this one: During Black Friday, the base model AirPods 4 hit a record low price of $69 at Amazon and the price is holding strong as we head into Cyber Monday. This is a frankly absurd price for Apple wireless earbuds, which somehow have gotten more affordable in the age of inflation and tariffs. But word of caution, we've seen the price on the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC go up and up, so if you see the AirPods 4 without ANC at $69, grab them before they're gone.

As the year comes to a close, another heartbreaking handful of Legos are set to retire. The Mos Espa Podrace diorama from The Phantom Menace is one of them, so now is your last chance not only to find it in stock, but for half off its usual price. This set is a bestseller for a reason: You get the full canyon in Tatooine scene, models of both Anakin's Podracer and Subulba's Podracer, and a special 25th anniversary plaque with a quote from Qui-Gon Jinn. It's nostalgia in brick form that any Star Wars fan should have in their collection.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts on Black Friday (and Prime Day, for that matter). If you haven't picked up a smart speaker yet, or just need one for a random room like the laundry room or guest bath, we recommend the Echo Pop. It’s currently $21.99, which is 45% off its regular price. Unlike the spherical Echo Dot, the Pop has a flat front that makes it fit way better on shallow shelves or crowded nightstands. It’s the perfect low-stakes way to add Alexa to another corner of your house without spending "real" money. But this is selling out fast as we head into Cyber Monday, as every color besides Black has sold out.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's Black Friday sale, this model is down to a new record low and as we head into Cyber Weekend, it's maintaining that low price.

If you're looking for the most comfortable noise-cancelling headphones on the market, you want the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and right now, they're on sale for $299. Since we spend plenty of the day listening to music, podcasts, or streaming YouTube, there's good reason to invest in a super comfortable pair. Of course, they'll make for a special gift this holiday season, or consider it a gift of self-care to get yourself through holiday travel. But this deal is selling fast through Cyber Weekend, as the $299 price is only available on the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones in deep plum.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. The SE 3 is the first SE model to come with an always-on display. Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch." All of that now comes in at under $200 thanks to this Black Friday sale at Amazon.

Amazon has matched Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025." It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $697.99, this lingering Black Friday deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.

This Black Friday season marks the very first time the Roborock Saros 10R has dropped below $1,000, so senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart can't help but recommend it to people — considering the Saros 10R was her favorite robot vacuum that she's ever tested for most of 2025, and is still the best robot vacuum mop combo when it comes to corner and edge mopping. (In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone is looking to buy this Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)
At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $269.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $229.99 at Walmart. $40 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

If there's one thing Mashable readers love buying on Black Friday, it’s the LifeStraw. It’s a staple of every major sales event, and for good reason. Right now, it’s back down to its Prime Day price of $9.99, which is typically the lowest it goes all year (it's usually around $20). Even if you aren't an avid hiker, this is a must-have for your home emergency kit or bug-out bag. It filters out 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria and parasites, so you can drink directly from a stream (or a sketchy tap) safely. At $10, it’s the ultimate practical stocking stuffer.

Apple TV+ is where you'll find the most-talked-about show of the year so far, Pluribus. If you don't want to get left behind by the zeitgeist, then you'll need an Apple TV subscription. And for Black Friday, Amazon is offering tons of streaming deals for Prime Video members. You can now add Apple TV+ to your Prime Video for $5.99 for 12 months. Normally $12.99 per month, that lets you save $42 in total.

As Mashable's tech editor, I get early access to a lot of really cool products. I also have a pretty deep knowledge of the coolest new gadgets of 2025, from the latest virtual reality tech to everyday fitness trackers and new Apple laptops. I've also been covering Black Friday sales since 2019, so I know what discounts to expect and which deals you can safely skip.
In this guide, you'll find all the best Black Friday tech deals I'd actually recommend to my friends and family. Before recommending an LG OLED TV or an Anker power station, I'll first make sure that the price is actually a good deal. Online retailers are notorious for exaggerating their sales, but I've done the work for you to find the biggest genuine discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and beyond.
Keep checking back as I add new discounts on the season's best new gadgets, toys, wearables, and tech gifts. I've personally tested many of the products in this guide, while others have been tested by other Mashable reporters. If you see a deal in this story, it's because I'd truly recommend that product — and at that price — to my loved ones.
Our favorite noise-cancelling wireless earbuds have been on sale since Amazon started its Black Friday sale earlier this week, but they got a surprise $30 price drop the morning of Black Friday. You can now buy the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $216, a new record price and a discount of 28%, at both Amazon and Best Buy.
Seriously, we love these earbuds. The active noise cancellation works so well that I wear them while I work, even when I'm not listening to music. Plus, they really are the most comfortable wireless buds we've ever tried.
I literally collect rare books, so when I tell you I'm a book nerd, you can believe me. And this is the Kindle that stores my digital library — the Kindle Paperwhite. For Black Friday, it's on sale for $124.99, but I actually recommend paying a little more for the version without lockscreen ads. That way, you'll see gorgeous black-and-white photos on the lockscreen instead of ads for romantasy books I'll never read.
Apple just launched the new version of its starter smartwatch in September, and it's already earned a spot in my guide to the best smartwatches of the year. The truth is, while we also loved the longer-lasting Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra Watch 3, the new SE 3 is the right pick for the vast majority of people. This is a true lifestyle smartwatch that also does double duty as a fitness and sleep tracker. Plus, it even has an always-on Retina OLED display. You can pick up this affordable Apple smartwatch for $199.99 at Amazon, a 20% discount.
Camp Snap is one of our favorite finds of the year. These trendy cameras feature old-school designs and keep you in the moment while you're making memories. You can buy these stylish point-and-shoot digital cameras starting at just $55 for Black Friday, and they make great gifts for teens.
Alexa informed me that New York City faces its first freeze warning of the season, and now I'm mad at her. However, I do have something to keep the chill away. I've been using and recommending these cute electric hand warmers for years, and they're one of my favorite undiscovered gems at Amazon. They're one of my go-to stocking stuffers, and they'll keep your hands toasty and warm all winter long. If you're looking for tech deals under $25, this is my personal recommendation.
Mashable has an ongoing series called "In My Bag," where we interview creators, vloggers, and social media stars about their favorite gadgets and gear. The Octobuddy has been a frequent call-out, and it's an ingenious little grip that lets you stick your phone securely to mirrors and other hard surfaces.
Have you heard about the upcoming ban on DJI drones? If not, then we have very bad news: DJI drones are almost certainly set to be banned in the U.S. by year's end, which means this is your last chance to buy one. So long as you're already flying, the potential ban shouldn't affect you, a DJI representative recently told me. Unfortunately, you can only buy these drones from third-party sellers at retailers like Amazon, but we think the risk is worth the reward in this case.
Amazon devices are up to 55% off for Black Friday, including the best Alexa smart speakers. The Echo Spot is a smart speaker that doubles as an alarm clock, and it's a favorite of ours. However, Amazon just refreshed its Echo line to make way for Alexa+, its new AI version of Alexa. I was at the launch event where Amazon debuted the Echo Dot Max, a smarter smart speaker with bigger sound and a fun Death Star-like design.
I've said it before: Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, The Frame, is the best TV in the world. This super-thin TV doubles as an art gallery for your living room, adding to your home's decor instead of distracting from it. The 2025 model of The Frame has a fancy new AI processor, as well as a magic-like matte, anti-glare display. While you can catch this TV on sale at any retailer you like, Amazon currently has the best price.
We think the M4 MacBook Pro is the best MacBook for most people, and this is a fantastic price for a 2025 model Apple laptop. Powered by M4 silicon, it's also lightning fast. The M4 chip is faster than anything you'll find in the Windows world, which means this laptop is faster and more efficient than the competition. Its $749 price at Amazon is a record discount, and we're not expecting the price to drop any lower (though Apple could surprise us).
Amazon isn't our go-to destination for laptops, but for Black Friday, they have a great deal on a popular Copilot+ PC. This Acer Aspire 16 AI Copilot+ PC has never been priced below $500 before now, and you can save 36% on the retail price at Amazon. Unlike most laptops at Amazon, this PC isn't sold by a sketchy third-party seller — it's sold and shipped by Amazon itself. It also has very impressive specs for an under-$500 laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a powerful Snapdragon X chip.
The Toniebox is a popular gadget for young kids. Parents love it because it's engaging but doesn't have a screen, and kids love it because it's interactive, talks to them, and tells cool stories. I got this for my niece last Christmas, and I'm officially the favorite uncle. Am I her only uncle? Doesn't matter.
If your favorite kiddos already have a Toniebox, you can get five Tonies for the price of four during Black Friday. My recommendation? The Miss Rachel and Llama Llama Tonies.
We recently named the Beats Pill the best portable Bluetooth speaker to buy on sale. And, what do you know, it's on sale. You can pick up this powerful water-resistant speaker for just $79 at Amazon. Released in 2024 as part of a collaboration with Kim Kardashian (don't let that stop you from scoring a great deal), it plays well with Android and iOS devices.
If you're a content creator or vlogger, then you've probably heard of DJI's famous pocket mics, currently 45% off at Amazon. These wireless mics replace the awkward wired lavaliers of the past, and they clip on to your shirt or collar magnetically. There's a reason you can spot these microphones all over TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. I've personally tested these microphones, and they've been a huge help to the Mashable video team at live events.
Happy Black Friday, because the Apple AirTags just dropped in price to $62.99, the lowest-ever price for these popular trackers. Look, the best Black Friday deals aren't always super exciting, but this is your chance to stock up on products you need. Using ultra-wideband technology and Apple's Find My network, there's no better way to track lost items.
Anker PowerBanks are the ideal stocking stuffer, and not just because they start at $15 and fit perfectly in a stocking. They're also extraordinarily useful, especially for folks with older phones that are constantly dying.
Eufy may not have quite the name recognition as iRobot in the vacuum space, but you'll find Eufy robot vacuums all over Mashable shopping guides. If you're looking for a premium robot vacuum and mop combo, try the Eufy S1 Pro, which has a roller mop, self-cleaning, self-drying, and a 50% discount. Our vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, has also been impressed by Eufy's innovation when it comes to cleaning features past the robot vacuum itself. The Eufy E28 is a powerful roller mop robot vacuum with 20,000 Pa suction power that comes with a portable carpet cleaner. Leah says it fully removed stains from a rug and a couch, making it one of the best vacuums for pet owners.
As much as I love Samsung's The Frame, I know not everyone can afford to drop $1,000 on a new TV. Fortunately, you can count on Black Friday doorbuster deals if you need a TV on the cheap. Over at Amazon, grab smart TVs starting at just $99. Head to Best Buy to find the most budget-friendly QLED TV deals.
If a new smart TV isn't in your budget this year, that doesn't mean you have to be locked out of the latest streaming apps. Access everything from Amazon's Prime Video to Apple TV and Spotify using this affordable streaming stick from Roku. You'll still have to pay for all those apps, but it's still a lot cheaper than buying a new TV.
Bose recently released a new version of its flagship noise-canceling headphones, and in our review, we said the new model is nearly identical to the original. However, the new version will set you back $449, which is a big ask in this economy. Meanwhile, the Gen 1 version on sale for $298 is still one of the best, most comfortable headphones in the world. While it's possible these headphones might get a bigger price drop come Nov. 28, don't count on it. I love these headphones, and this is easily one of the best Prime Day tech deals of the year so far.
Editor's note: These headphones are almost sold out!
This is the ultimate splurge this holiday season — Samsung's new AR/VR headset, the Galaxy XR. It's Samsung's answer to the Apple Vision Pro, and it's significantly more affordable, though still extremely pricey. If you buy the device during the holiday shopping season, Samsung will throw in $1,140 worth of freebies, including a year of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, and NBA League Pass. You'll also get access to exclusive XR experiences and more premium apps. This offer ends Dec. 31.
Over the summer, it was almost impossible to find the new Nintendo Switch 2 console in stock. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. While we haven't found any official discounts on the Switch 2 console yet, you can find some Switch 2 bundles in stock at Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop. We expect this handheld to top many Christmas gift wishlists this year, so grab these while you can.
Amazon always discounts its devices for big sales, and right now you can grab the popular Blink Mini 2 security camera for just $17.99, a 55% discount. We don't expect this product to get any cheaper come Thanksgiving, so go ahead and stock up and protect your home.
I've tested several Jackery Explorer power stations over the years, and I've never had a bad experience. The brand helped popularize this product category in the United States, and it's easy to see why. They make rugged power stations that are easy to use, have a variety of ports, and connect easily to your devices (not to mention solar panels, if you have them). If you live in fear of the power going out — or just want to charge your phone during a camping trip or tailgate — these devices are a must-have.
Just like Bose, Sony also released a sequel to its flagship headphones this year. The new XM6 headphones are elite, truly. But having tested them against the previous-gen XM5 model, I'm strongly recommending you buy the XM5s now that they're finally back on sale. Here's the truth: They're more alike than different. And right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $248, a record-low price. Compare that to the $428 price tag on the new model, and your choice is simple.
The new Google Pixel smartwatch is my favorite Android smartwatch of the year, and in our review, we called it a true runner's smartwatch. And to prove it, one of our reporters recently trained and ran a marathon while using it. So, when I say it's a good smartwatch for running, you can really believe me. For Black Friday, this smartwatch got its first-ever discount.
Even as other sites recommended Best Buy's deal on the LG C5 OLED TV, I've been holding out for a proper price drop. Best Buy's sale price has been available at Amazon since October. Well, patience is a virtue, because as the sun rises on Black Friday, the LG 65-inch C5 Series OLED EVO 4K Smart TV has finally gotten a real price drop at Amazon. The C Series is probably the most award-winning line of TVs in the world, and every year it tops lists of the best TVs.
This TV may only be available from third-party sellers in your region, so check the seller's reviews on Amazon before adding it to your cart. You can also pick up this TV at LG and Best Buy, though Amazon has the better price by far.
If you want to buy a robot vacuum during Prime Day, then we recommend steering clear of Roomba. I've already recommended Eufy's popular budget and mid-range vacuums, but if you're looking for the best of the best, our favorite robot vacuum of the year is currently on sale. Our resident robot vacuum tester has tested so many robot vacuums, and this year, none outperformed the Roborock Saros 10R, a robot vacuum and mop combo. With sophisticated mapping, mopping, self-cleaning, and obstacle avoidance, it does it all. It can even act as a pet camera.
As part of its Black Friday sale, Walmart has tons of video games on sale. You can score new titles like Madden NFL 26 and Borderlands 4, or play back old favorites like Grand Theft Auto V.
If only the Apple Vision Pro cost $249.99. Alas, we don't live in that world. However, you can buy a Meta Quest 3S VR Headset bundle for that very reasonable price. With 128GB of storage and instant access to over 40 games, this solid Black Friday VR deal lets you discover an entirely new type of gaming. Though, personally, I prefer to use VR for watching 3D movies and other types of VR video content.
I've been waiting patiently for gaming laptop deals to pop off for Black Friday, and they finally did. The Lenovo LOQ 15 has gone on sale for as little as $864.49 in the past, but it's currently on sale for $799.99. That's a new all-time low and a great price on this gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics. This is the gaming laptop you'll find on my own desk right now, and it's a good entry-level model.
We're big fans of Oura smart rings at Mashable, and the brand's Black Friday sale officially started, knocking $100 off its Oura Ring 4. Our reviewer praised Oura for its great balance of health, fitness, and sleep tracking metrics, and there's a reason these smart rings are beloved by many pro athletes.
We waited so patiently for the Apple AirPods 4 to finally drop in price, and the deal is even better than we expected. The latest AirPods are now on sale for $69, their lowest price ever.
This is the year we fell for British brand Nothing. In our review of the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro, we said that Nothing could be charging three or four times as much for this AMOLED smartwatch. For Black Friday, this watch finally dropped down to $79 just as we hoped. This smartwatch has an incredible display and excels as a fitness and sleep tracker, but it really puts the competition to shame when it comes to battery life.
We love Kindles here at Mashable, and we've tested them all. I already told you my personal favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, but the truth is all of Amazon's e-readers are fantastic. For bargain hunters, the best deals on Kindles are the basic Kindle and the Kindle Colorsoft. Amazon's basic Kindle is a perfectly pocket-sized device that reached its lowest price ever of $79.99, while the Kindle Colorsoft got an astounding price cut down to $169.99, the first time the device has ever dipped under $200.
As much as we hype up Kindles, you can't forget there are other e-readers out there. The only brand that can truly compete is Kobo, which makes a delightful collection of color e-readers. Ahead of Black Friday, the only Kobo on sale is the Libra Colour, which is our favorite color e-reader. It's down to $199.99, back down to the low price it was during Black Friday 2024.
To be honest, the Black Friday deals on iPads have been pretty weak this year. However, the model I recommend for most people is on sale, and at a record price.
The newest and best iPad is the iPad Pro with M5 chip, but the best Black Friday iPad deal is on the Apple iPad Air with M3 chip. I've tested both models, and the iPad Air is the right choice for 99% of shoppers. It's back to its lowest price ever of $449, making it an affordable yet powerful device. With the latest iPadOS, the iPad Air is closer to a laptop than ever, but still a fraction of the cost. This is another device I've personally tested and highly recommend, especially at this price.
While Oura might be the buzzier fitness tracker, Whoop still makes great trackers. Mashable's Christianna Silva just wore seven fitness trackers while training for the NYC marathon and determined that the Whoop MG was the best overall pick for marathon training. But even for the average Joe, it's a smart pickup, not to mention our favorite sleep tracker. During Black Friday, Whoop 5.0 and MG trackers are 17%, getting you up to $40 or $60 off.
PlayStation and PS5 console Black Friday deals are very popular this year, and while the prices aren't as low as I'd hoped, they are as low as I expected, given the ongoing tariff and price hikes we've seen in this sector. A lot of PS5 bundles are on sale right now, but I'd recommend the Fortnite bundles in particular, available now at Amazon.
According to my colleague Haley Henschel, our chief laptop tester, the Asus Zenbook is "an awesome MacBook Air alternative."
"The Zenbook A14 is an awesome MacBook Air alternative with a beauteous OLED display, a 22-hour battery life, and a lightweight but sturdy design. It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter
Frankly, if you buy an espresso machine at any time of year besides Prime Day or Black Friday, you're leaving hundreds of dollars on the table. This brushed stainless steel espresso machine from Breville gets a $200 price drop this time around, and it has everything you need to satisfy your caffeine fix. This is the lowest price we've seen on this high-tech kitchen appliance in years.
Have you heard of Flaus? It's at the top of my Xmas list this year and comes personally recommended by one of our shopping reporters. This electric flosser takes the pain and inconvenience out of flossing your teeth. For Black Friday, it now has an extremely gift-friendly price tag. Not only did this product appear on Shark Tank, but it was named one of Oprah's Favorite Things this year.
As a seasoned Black Friday expert, I always tell people to use this sale as a chance to stock up on boring but essential items. And that includes batteries, light bulbs, lens cleaners, etc. This won't be the most exciting addition to your shopping cart, but you'll be glad you have them.
Once upon a time, Americans lined up in droves outside Walmarts and Targets, still full from Thanksgiving dinner, so they could be first in the door at midnight. Thankfully, these frenzied Black Friday free-for-alls are a relic of a bygone era. Now, you can order all of the best Black Friday deals online.

So, Mashable is once again working around the clock to bring you live updates on all of the latest sales, standout deals, price drops, and inventory updates. Already, we've spied record discounts on flagship noise-cancelling Sony headphones, Apple MacBooks and AirPods, award-winning OLED TVs, Dyson vacuums, and the year's most popular tech gifts.
Check out the top early deals so far, and keep scrolling for the full schedule of events and the latest live updates and Black Friday news from the Mashable shopping team.
Remember: Black Friday is quickly followed by Cyber Week, which starts on Monday, Dec. 1. However, there's no need to wait. Our shopping reporters unanimously agree that Black Friday is the best time to shop for deals. If you want to be the first to know when new sales go online, then keep checking back as we provide live updates on the shopping festivities.

There's plenty in the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Play Booster Box for MTG fans to dig into. It comes with 30 play boosters that each contain 14 cards alongside one Token or Art card. Of the 14 cards in each play booster, 1-4 of them will be of "Rare" rarity or higher, and may even be a Special Guest Mythic Rare from Magic’s history that features new borderless art.

The best Black Friday iPad deals still live: Record lows on M4 iPad Pro and 11-inch iPadShop the best Apple iPad during Black Friday, including $200 off the M4 iPad Pro and $75 off the standard iPad.
It's that time again, folks: Black Friday sales are officially extending into Cyber Weekend. Lots of Apple gadgets are on sale for record-low prices this week, including all current- and recent-gen iPads. While most models are down to their lowest prices, we were hoping for even bigger discounts.
Shoppers can save anywhere from $50 to $200 on Apple tablets across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. (The Apple Store itself is just giving away free gift cards with eligible Black Friday/Cyber Weekend purchases.)
Below, we've rounded up the absolute best Black Friday iPad deals still available. Deals are maxing out at 25% off, and the basic iPad is the best deal at the moment, going for $274. We'll continue to monitor their availability and add new picks if/when they pop up as Cyber Weekend continues, so check back often.
We would have loved to see a sub-$250 iPad for Black Friday Extended, but alas, we'll take a $274 iPad instead.
Our favorite budget iPad is now more affordable than ever: Best Buy has the 128GB base model on sale for just $274, or $75 off. The 11-inch tablet comes with a peppy A16 chip, Touch ID, and 12MP front and rear cameras. Our reviewer called it "great for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading." Even when you bundle it with an also-on-sale USB-C Apple Pencil or first-gen Apple Pencil, it's still cheaper than any iPad Air or Pro.
Now that the M5 chip has arrived, the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro is no longer the shiniest new model on the market — but that doesn't mean much in the era of iterative upgrades. When our reviewer tested it last year, she said it "blew us away with its power efficiency, striking display, and breakneck performance." It's more than most people need, but great for professional artists and creatives. While most of this weekend's Black Friday and Cyber Monday iPad discounts top off around $50 to $100, this M4 iPad Pro's 256GB base model is chilling at $200 off. It's $100 cheaper than its M5 equivalent.

Black Friday is the time to stock up on the things you — and everyone on your list — want the most. Sure, you could go for the boring essentials, but what's the fun in that? If you're looking to stay entertained this holiday season, check out these Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Black Friday deals.
So far, we haven't spotted any deals on Switch consoles. The best you can do is snag one of the Switch bundles, which includes popular new games like Mario Kart World or NBA 2K26. That ends up saving you a few dollars, which can go toward even more games.
Nintendo Switch deals shine when it comes to games. There's plenty of stocking fillers and backlog stuffers to choose from right now. I've also labelled which each deal is compatible with the Switch 1, Switch 2, or both consoles, so you know exactly what you're buying.
Here are all the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals we've spotted.
The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't getting any traditional discounts this Black Friday, per se, but that doesn't mean you can't get a good deal on one. Case in point: this bundle that nets you the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself and a copy of Mario Kart World. A Switch 2 on its own is $449, and Mario Kart World alone is $79, so you're still seeing a savings of $30 by getting the bundle. If you need the Switch 2 system itself and want something great to play along with it, this is the best bet by far. You'll get hours of entertainment out of Mario Kart World and still save some cash. Win-win! Additionally, there are similar bundles to choose from that go in and out of stock, so it's best to keep checking back if there are certain games you're looking to score alongside your system.

Nice button action, amazing ergonomics, and plenty of features such as complex macros, interchangeable A, B, X, and Y buttons, and adjustable triggers. It's a very close call between the Pro 3 and the Ultimate 2 from 8BitDo, and don't get me started on the Arcade stick, but the Pro 3 wins for me personally.

Scouring the Black Friday sales this year has been interesting. While some categories are off to a slow, underwhelming start (I’m looking at you, Ninja), the portable power station market is fully going for it.
I’m not a doomsday prepper, but I am someone who lives in a storm-prone area where the power goes out if the wind blows the wrong way. So, I track these prices religiously. And right now, we're seeing deals that match, and in some cases actually beat the record lows we saw during Prime Day. If you’ve been stressed about keeping your devices charged during a winter storm or just want a reliable backup for camping, now's the time to shop.
The discounts are surprisingly good this year, with major brands like Bluetti, Jackery, EF EcoFlow, and Anker offering 40% to 60% off. Even DJI, which is usually pretty stubborn with its pricing, is getting in on the action.
I love a heavy-duty home backup system, but I am not trying to haul a 50-pound generator around unless I absolutely have to. For camping trips, beach days, or just keeping my iPad alive during a spotty power outage, I want something I can carry in one hand.
As of Nov. 21, the Jackery Explorer 240D is on sale for $132 at Amazon. That's a 37% discount (or a $77 price cut) off its $209 list price, and it's the best deal we've seen on this specific model. If you want to save even more, Jackery is offering an extra $200 off to customers who subscribe to its newsletter, but that coupon is only valid on orders over $2,000, so it won't apply to this deal specifically.
The 240D uses a LiFePO4 battery, which means it has a 10-year lifespan and can handle 4,000+ charge cycles (the old ones could only do about 500). It packs 256Wh of capacity into a tiny 4.85-pound box, so you can fast-charge your laptop, phone, or drone directly via its 140W USB-C ports.
Just keep in mind: This is a "power bank" style station, meaning it has USB ports but no AC wall outlet. It’s designed for devices, not appliances. But for $132, it’s the perfect "just in case" gadget to keep in your closet.
Jackery Explorer 300 Portable Power Station — $159 $259 (save $100)
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 — $349 $799 (save $450)
Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station — $699 $1,499 (save $800)
Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus Portable Power Station — $1,199 $2,099 (save $900)
Read our full review of the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station.
If you need something with a bit more oomph than the Jackery 240D but aren't trying to spend $1,000, this is the sweet spot. The Anker Solix C1000 hits that perfect middle ground for capacity and portability, and right now, it's half off.
As of Nov. 21, the Anker Solix C1000 is on sale for $397 at Amazon. That's a 50% discount (or a $402 price cut) off its $799 list price. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model since Prime Day (it was $399 in October).
The Solix C1000 is a Mashable Choice Award winner. Mashable's Lauren Allain tested this unit extensively, from powering an outdoor movie night to keeping her essentials running during a power outage, and called it "simply perfect." She specifically praised its "awesome price-to-features ratio" and its incredibly fast recharge time (0 to 100% in under an hour!).
With 1,056Wh of capacity and 1,800W of output, it can handle everything from a CPAP machine (for 18+ hours) to a full-size fridge (for up to 14 hours). And if you decide later that you need even more juice, you can double its capacity with an expansion battery.

If you missed the Anker deal above (or if you just want a little more juice), this is the one to grab. It's a direct competitor that sits in that same "Goldilocks" zone of size and power, but with a few extra perks.
As of Nov. 21, the Bluetti AC180 is on sale for $409 at Amazon. That's 41% off its usual $699 price tag, saving you nearly $300. (It hit this new all-time low yesterday, according to CamelCamelCamel.)
Here's why you might choose this one over the others: It has a slightly larger battery (1,152Wh) and a specialized "Power Lifting" mode. This boosts the output to 2,700W to handle resistive loads, meaning you can run high-wattage essentials like a space heater or electric kettle without tripping the unit. It also charges super fast (0-80% in just 45 minutes) and works as a reliable UPS backup for your computer or CPAP.

DJI is known for its drones, not its discounts, so seeing the DJI Power 1000 drop this low is a genuinely pleasant surprise. If you're a drone pilot or just someone who hates the loud humming noise most power stations make, this is the deal for you.
As of Nov. 21, the DJI Power 1000 is on sale for $449 at Amazon. That's 36% off its $699 list price, and $250 in savings.
It operates at just 23dB, which is quieter than a whisper. You can charge it right next to your bed and not even hear it. For drone owners, it has dedicated SDC ports that can fast-charge select DJI drone batteries from 10% to 95% in just 32 minutes. It also has a 1,024Wh capacity and dual 140W USB-C ports for your non-drone gear.

DJI Power 2000 — $699 $1,299 (save $600)
If you’re looking for a true "off-grid" ready kit, buying a power station on its own is only half the battle. Usually, adding a decent solar panel will set you back another $300 or more. That’s why this bundle deal is so good — it includes the panel for a price that beats many standalone stations.
As of Nov. 21, the EF ECOFLOW Solar Generator Delta 2 Bundle is on sale for $549 at Amazon. This bundle includes the excellent Delta 2 power station (1,024Wh capacity, LiFePO4 battery) plus a 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel.
"Bifacial" just means it captures sunlight on both sides (ambient light on the back), which EcoFlow says can increase energy capture by up to 25%. Combined with the Delta 2's fast charging and 1,800W output, this is a turnkey solution for camping or emergency backup.

Black Friday is in full swing. While the annual shopping event doesn't technically start until Nov. 28, plenty of retailers like Amazon and Best Buy's sales kicked off the savings early in 2025 and have already delivered the lowest prices of the year. Samsung deals are particularly delivering, with all-time lows on several Galaxy phones, tablets, and watches, monitors, TVs, and more. This is hardly surprising, though, as Samsung is one of the brands we regularly see big discounts on during major shopping events.
On Black Friday proper, we're still hoping for some larger price drops on Samsung's foldables and earbuds, most categories already have standout discounts on hot ticket items. For instance, the 2025 Frame and Frame Pro TVs are at record lows, as is every iteration of the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, S10 FE, and S10 FE+, and Galaxy Tab S11.
Read on for a rundown of the best Samsung deals live ahead of Black Friday, and stay tuned as the season unfolds. We'll update this list with any new discounts that pop up
Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.
One of the top dogs of the Samsung Galaxy phone lineup, the S25 Ultra with 512GB of storage, has dropped to a new best price ever for Black Friday. If you're already sporting an S24 model, you probably can skip this upgrade, but if you're rocking an older handset and want to catch up with the times, this 2025 release is a great choice. It's a bit heavy on the AI, but it's got a lot of other perks, including a nearly 27-hour battery life that keeps you from being tethered to an outlet. It features an incredibly powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a new 50 MP ultra-wide lens, a fun "Now Brief" widget and other S25 Ultra-exclusive AI features, and new curved edges and a lighter build. Grabbing an unlocked model at Amazon saves you the trouble of coordinating a trade-in or data plan at a specific carrier. Plus, it's a lot cheaper at $1,057.91.
Samsung released the new Odyssey G6 OLED monitor over the summer — the first-ever gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate. And for Black Friday, you can get it for its best price yet. Besides its wildly fast refresh rate, it also features a QHD resolution (2,560 x 1440) with a 16:9 aspect ratio, an ultra-quick 0.03ms response time, a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, support for both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync, and a QD-OLED panel that's glare-free and Pantone Validated. It also has plenty of ports for your peripherals, including two HDMI 2.1 ports, three USB ports, and a single DisplayPort 1.4 port. You can find the Black Friday deal on the 27-inch monitor (the only size it comes in) at both Amazon and Best Buy. At the time of writing, it's $50 more at Samsung's own website.

'Tis the season for blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You", and you can't do that without a quality speaker. Fortunately, as we're officially in Black Friday season, you can grab plenty of speakers at their best prices of the year.
While Black Friday technically falls on Nov. 28 this year, retailers' sales are here for a head start on holiday savings. Speaker discounts from brands like Bose, JBL, Sony, and Amazon are already pretty impressive. We're still waiting on some heavy hitters from Sonos and Ultimate Ears to get the deal treatment, but we expect those to drop within the next week.
We'll be tracking the best speaker deals throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday and updating this page with the latest and greatest prices.
While Mashable's shopping team has tested a lot of Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Charge 6 reigns supreme as our top pick for most people. At just 2 pounds, it's lightweight enough to tote around just about anywhere. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. But don't let its size fool you — this baby is powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party. And as a bonus, it can even charge your other devices via USB-C (hence the name). The only downside is that its list price is $20 more than its predecessor. Fortunately, this Black Friday deal at Amazon and Best Buy drops it down to a more budget-friendly price of $129.95.
If your TV's picture and sound aren't quite on the same level, Amazon's Fire TV Soundbar Plus is an affordable way to give things a boost. While Amazon's basic Fire TV Soundbar wasn't anything to write home about, the Soundbar Plus really steps things up with three full-range speakers, three tweeters, and two woofers that pump out sound in every direction. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS TruVolume, and features a dedicated center dialogue channel to keep voices crisp and clear. You can also use it as a home Bluetooth speaker when your TV is off. At $149.99, it's $100 off for a 40% discount and its lowest price on record.

Just about every major retailer has gotten in on the Ninja appliance deal action this Black Friday — and not gonna lie, the deals were pretty mid. But SharkNinja's official website has swooped in with an absolutely phenomenal Black Friday sale. Not only are big-name Ninja gadgets like the Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl, Ninja Slushi, Ninja Crispi, and Ninja Luxe Café on sale at record-low prices, but SharkNinja is throwing in a free gift with most of them.
It's not just some shoddy free $15 accessory, either. From insulated margarita glasses and travel mugs to a whole Ninja blender for free, these free gifts are all between $48 and $148 in value. (Shark vacuums and Shark hair tools come with awesome free stuff too, BTW.)
Though there's no question that the actual SharkNinja website is the best place to buy Ninja products on sale for Black Friday, there are still an overwhelming amount of deals to keep track of. We've pulled out the very best Ninja Black Friday deals as of Nov. 26 for super easy comparison. We’ve tested most of these products, so we know when a price drop is genuinely worth your money.
It's been tricky to find a deal on the unique portable Ninja Crispi air fryer. The best we were getting was a measly $20 off (just an 11% discount) at Amazon — that is, until SharkNinja sweetened the deal by matching that sale price, and throwing in a free spatula and extra glass Crispi container for free. That's a $48 value for free, plus the $20 from the actual discount.
The Ninja Crispi is a Mashable fave and unlike any air fryer you've seen before. Rather than making you dump your fried food out from a basket or off of a tray, the Crispi air fries food directly in a grab-and-go glass container (just add a lid). The six-cup container is designed for personal meals (and can cook them in about seven minutes), while the four-quart container is large enough to cook a four-pound chicken and veggies in one go.
Fun bonus: The SharkNinja website has more color options than Amazon. Our favorite is Mango Clouds.
The daily promo code from SharkNinja's direct website just beat Amazon's sale price by a full $50. On Nov. 26, use code DAY4 to grab the Scoop and Swirl for $229.99 compared to $279.99 at Amazon.
Mashable shopping reporter Sam Mangino has tested just about every popular Ninja kitchen appliance that pops into your head. So take it from the expert when she declares the Ninja Swirl to be better and more fun than the original Creami. Even Oprah put it on the 2025 list of her favorite things.
The Swirl makes ultra-creamy yogurt like soft serve and doesn't require re-spins like the Creami, which primarily makes more hand-scooped-like ice cream. But any seasoned sweet toother could be in the mood for either depending on the day, making this Scoop and Swirl combo deal pretty unbeatable.

Black Friday is, without a doubt, the best time to buy tech. Prices drop on laptops, TVs, and tablets, which is perfect timing with the holidays fast approaching. If you're getting ready to buy the latter, a tablet, now is a great time. We just spent the past few months re-evaluating our guide to the best tablets, meaning these portable devices are front of mind. And most importantly, they're now on sale just in time for Black Friday.
There are a lot of tablets on sale, and even better, there are more than just iPads discounted. You can find devices from Samsung, Lenovo, and Amazon all on sale for hundreds off. Plus, we're pleased to see our very favorite Android tablet is on sale, too. These are the best tablet deals for Black Friday.
Most iPads are discounted ahead of Black Friday, but the best deal is on the iPad Air with M3 chip. We determined it's the best iPad for most people, with a superior processor to the basic iPad, allowing you to do any work task you'd do on a computer. But at $449, it's a fraction of the price of a laptop. It's currently $150 off of its $599 price tag, making it 25% off, one of the biggest discounts you'll find on any iPad for Black Friday.

Perhaps my favorite discovery of 2025 is the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, which convinced me that iPads aren't the only tablets worth buying. This small tablet is made for gaming, but it does an extremely good job at streaming in high definition and is the perfect size for travel. For Black Friday, it's down to $389.99, saving you $160 for a total of 29% off.

Having tested my way through the latest tablets, I won't lie, Amazon Fire tablets are not my favorite. I think they fall behind the crowd in terms of processing power, plus Amazon's app store pales in comparison to Apple's or Google's. That being said, if you want a cheap tablet, look at the Amazon Fire tablet. There are bigger discounts to be had on Amazon's tablets, but I think the best tablet to shop from Amazon is the Fire Max 11, which offers the best speed and processing.
Amazon Fire HD 8 (32GB, WiFi) — $54.99 $99.99 (save $45)

Black Friday itself may be over but many deals are still live. And while it's true that the best Black Friday deals tend to be centered around upgrading to a massive TV, getting an Apple Watch at a record-low price, or loading up on stocking stuffers, Black Friday is also a great time to stock up on less exciting items. We're talking things such as toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels — stuff that's always part of the major sale but never gets the same kind of press.
But if you want to add stuff to your cart that you'll be majorly thankful for in the future, consider the boring but essentials. Come next month or even next year when you have a stockpile of batteries available for when the remote goes dead, you'll be very thankful that your Black Friday self swooped in on these deals. Plus, buying them online means you don't have to leave the house and drag all the grocery bags inside.
Since the year 2025 has shown us there's no limit to how expensive things can get, stocking up now gives you some insulation from future price increases or even more intense shrinkflation. Here are some deals to add to your cart while they're still live during Cyber Week.

Whether you're looking to crush a new goal in 2026 or just want to get a head start on your holiday shopping, now's the time to grab a new fitness tracker. Black Friday deals on a variety of brands are available, with significant discounts on wearables for every budget. From simple step counters to advanced smartwatches, these Black Friday fitness tracker deals have you covered with price drops of just about every kind.
Below, you'll find some of the best fitness tracker deals we've uncovered as part of the biggest shopping event of the year. We'll continue updating this page as prices continue to drop. Be sure to keep checking back as we go from Black Friday to Cyber Monday so you don't miss a single discount.
Apple's premium smartwatch is the top of the line when it comes to fitness tracking, along with all the other wearable features it offers. You can save on it now and get all the perks for less, which include hypertension detection, upgraded sleep tracking, off-grid emergency comms, and everything else you've come to expect from the Apple Watch. That includes heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, workout recording, and much more.
If you don't want to shell out the big bucks for a premium fitness tracker or smartwatch, the CMF Watch Pro 2 is an affordable option that fits most budgets. But budget in this case doesn't mean bereft of features. It comes with a portable blood oxygen saturation monitor, workout tracking, heart rate tracking, training load and recovery time, and much more that can all be synced and shared to your favorite health app. All this, plus it does everything you need your smartwatch to do: make calls, use gestures, record voice notes, and more. All for under $50, which is a veritable dream.
If you prefer to try something different than an Apple Watch, this Garmin unit has everything you need if you're serious about fitness tracking in general. That includes a 1.4-inch AMOLED display with a sapphire lens. It has 24/7 health and wellness monitoring with HRV status and pulse oximetry, advanced sleep monitoring, hill score for endurance training, and an A to Z selection of fitness routine and workout tracking to help you stay on top of your game. It also gives you a morning report each day to give you an idea of where you are in your fitness journey so you can plan your next move.

Are you still feeling full from your Thanksgiving meal? Yeah, us too. Thankfully, the Black Friday deals are still live and running hot into Cyber Weekend. All the major retailers have extended their sales events, and we're seeing record-low prices across the board on some of the best gifts like Kindles, noise-cancelling headphones, and Apple devices.
If you've been hoping to snag an Apple Watch for yourself or give one to someone truly special, then check out the year's best Black Friday Apple Watch deals. While we have Cyber Monday on the horizon, we're not expecting to see further price drops on these Apple smartwatches. As of this morning (Nov. 29), the trifecta of new Apple Watches — the SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 — is still on sale. All of these watches have been tested (and approved) by Mashable's tech experts.
To help you choose the right Apple smartwatch, we've scouted out the lowest prices on every Apple Watch model still on sale for Black Friday 2025, and you can save up to $200 on these popular gadgets.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is on sale for $339. That's a full $60 off and the lowest-ever price for this model. In our review of the Apple Watch Series 11, Stan Schroeder said it "isn't all that different from last year's model, but it has a significantly longer battery life, and that's a huge deal."
We loved the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Our reviewer even wore it during the New York City marathon, and it more than proved its worth. It features a large Always-On OLED Retina display with up to 3000 nits of brightness, not to mention an epic battery life, satellite connectivity for emergencies, and a full suite of health, stress, and sleep tracking metrics.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is also a solid model (and also on sale), though select colors are selling out fast.
If you're in the market for a new Apple Watch but don't want to spend big money, the 2nd-generation Apple Watch SE (GPS, 40mm) just got a price cut at Walmart, where it's available for $129 for a limited time only.
Apple has moved on to the Apple Watch SE 3 (which is also on sale), but that means you can snag great discounts on the previous model, and today is a solid case in point. But the older model is still great, offering tons of Apple Watch essentials like sleep tracking, fitness metrics, fall detection, and emergency SOS. Since this model is on sale for only $129, it could be a great gifting option or perfect for those new to the wonderful world of smartwatches.
Looking for more deals on fitness trackers? You can still find the best prices on smartwatches and trackers at Amazon's epic Black Friday sale, now running deep into Cyber Weekend.
The best Black Friday deals under $25: Apple AirTags, Lego, Fire TV Sticks still liveStumped on a gift exchange idea? We found solid Black Friday deals under $25 like AirTags, Echo Pop speakers, and Fire TV Sticks.
If you're working with a smaller budget this holiday season, there's still plenty of opportunity for you to score some impressive Black Friday deals. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to pick up a great gift or get yourself a little treat. Black Friday week is already well underway, and there are stacks of inexpensive items listed on Amazon. To point you in the right direction, we've rounded up more than 20 deals under $25 that we think are worth your attention ahead of Black Friday.
We're keeping an eye on all the best deals this Black Friday and Cyber Monday and will update this list with any more budget-friendly steals that may drop. For now, here are the best Black Friday deals under $25 that'd make good stocking stuffers:
Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Black Friday deals department. The Apple AirTag has dropped to $17.97 at Walmart, which is 37% off its list price. We see excellent deals on the four-pack of AirTags pretty regularly, but single AirTag deals are rarer. The AirTag is the ring leader of Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users. As long as there's an Apple device nearby with Find My turned on, you'll be able to locate whatever you attach your AirTag to with ease.

As a quick rule of thumb, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the sweet spot for gaming rigs in 2025, smashing out 4K 60FPS performance at a minimum and having DLSS 4 to crank extra frames on lower spec builds overall.
This build rocks an RTX 5080 with a solid CPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM (16GB is enough for high-spec gaming right now), and a spacious 2TB M.2 SSD. It's a beastly gaming rig and is $300 off, bringing this build to $2,899.99. I've also found some more great deals on pre-built gaming PCs, gaming laptops, mice, keyboards, and headsets.

If you’re looking to go the whole digital hog this Black Friday, the PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle is most certainly that: VR2 headset, Horizon Call of the Mountain game, and PS VR2 Sense controllers.
In gaming terms, it really is another world. But it’s a little more accessible to everyone for Black Friday thanks to a competitive markdown of over $100. That means the whole bundle is just $299.99 for the immersive 4K visuals, 110º field of view, and ultra-intuitive controls with haptic feedback — all of which make you feel like you really are right there in the action.

I write about all things laptops here at Mashable, and after spending hours digging through tech retailers' Black Friday sales, I'm delighted by the deals I'm seeing so far. A bunch of the best laptops we've tested are now on sale at steep discounts. That includes my top picks for most people, plus some more niche options in the budget, OLED, ultraportable, gaming, and dual-screen categories. You're not just saving a ton of money on laptops this holiday season — you're saving a ton of money on some truly great laptops.
Black Friday always coaxes out some of the best laptop deals of the whole year, so no surprises here. It's partly because retailers know that people are looking for good, giftable buys ahead of the holidays, but it's also because they're trying to offload their current inventories ahead of next-gen refreshes at the start of the following year. Enter: Record-low prices on MacBooks, Windows laptops, gaming PCs, and Chromebooks. Voila: An upgrade that's normally out of your budget is suddenly affordable.
Below, I've detailed the 14 top Black Friday laptop deals I've scouted so far. I've only picked the models that I'd happily add to my own cart if I was in the market for a new PC — they've all been tested and vetted by the Mashable team.
Apple's latest MacBook Air is lightweight, quiet, and faster than 83% of the laptops in our entire testing database — it's a really impressive ultraportable. The 15-inch model is my top pick for most people, but the 13-inch model is great for college students and other users who want something a little cheaper and more portable. Both sizes were regularly on sale on Amazon for $200 off earlier this fall, and I really didn't think they'd get any cheaper at this point in their life cycles (considering they're still well under a year old). Shockingly, they're now $250 off at Amazon and Best Buy.
The all-new MacBook Pro is my splurge pick if you want an Apple laptop with even more power, a brighter 120Hz display, more ports for creative work, and crazy-good stamina. (At 21 hours and 17 minutes, it has the longest battery life of any MacBook we've ever tried.) It debuted in mid-October at a starting price of $1,599 to a rave review from our tech editor. Right now, the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is just $1,399 at Amazon and Best Buy — a whopping $200 off. That's a massive discount on a brand-spanking-new laptop.
If you're in the market for a dirt-cheap-but-not-too-outdated MacBook, Best Buy has a refurbished 13-inch M2 MacBook Air from 2022 on sale for just $499.99. Walmart is selling the older M1 model for $549 as part of its Black Friday programming, so this is a genuine steal. It has a better 1080p FaceTime camera, a lighter design, and a bigger, brighter, display compared to its predecessor, and it runs about 15% faster. Since it only comes with 8GB of RAM, it's best suited for simple everyday tasks like web browsing and sending emails.
UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2025, 1:10 p.m. EST This deal was sold out at the time of writing, but Best Buy could revive it sometime later this Cyber Weekend. You can sign up for restock notifications on its product page.
Microsoft's current flagship laptop is a well-rounded machine with a virtually unrivaled 23-hour battery life, speedy everyday performance, amazing build quality, and an elegant, lightweight design. The 13.8-inch model with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU is my favorite Windows laptop for most people, and the silver model with my ideal daily driver setup (16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage) is down to an all-time low of $869.99 for Black Friday 2025. It usually sells for $1,399.99, so you're saving 38%. Meanwhile, it's $999.99 at Best Buy and on Microsoft's website.
This $699.99 Windows laptop wowed me with its 17-hour battery life, great mix of ports, relatively lightweight frame, 120Hz touchscreen, and peppy performance. (It's the fastest sub-$900 laptop we've reviewed.) Amazon has it on sale for just $449.99, or 36% off.
The Zenbook A14 is an awesome MacBook Air alternative with a beauteous OLED display, a 22-hour battery life, and a lightweight but sturdy design. It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low.
If you can shell out an extra $250, you'll get an even nicer OLED display in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x. It has a higher 3K resolution than the Zenbook A14, a better 90Hz refresh rate, and added touchscreen capabilities. It's a teensy bit faster, too, and it doesn't sacrifice much battery life — I got almost 20 hours out of it in my testing. Best Buy currently sells the base model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $799.99, down from its usual price of $1,299.99. A 1TB version is available on Lenovo's website for $929.99, or 27% off.
The AMD-powered Lenovo LOQ 15 is "the perfect starter gaming laptop," says Mashable tech editor Timothy Beck Werth; he's been working through his first Cyberpunk 2077 run on an RTX 5060 configuration. I can't find that one listed anywhere, but this RTX 5050 model is on sale for just $799.99 during Lenovo's Black Friday sale (or 33% off). It should be capable of running most graphically demanding AAA games at 60fps on a 1080p resolution. It features a 144Hz refresh rate and a spacious anti-ghosting backlit keyboard, plus a healthy terabyte of storage.
The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the ultimate non-gamey gaming laptop: With a 3.3-pound, 0.6-inch thin aluminum design and a beautiful 3K OLED display, it could easily be confused with a silver MacBook Pro. We tested an AMD model with RTX 4060 graphics last year, and I found the next-gen version on sale for only $1,299.99 at Best Buy. It usually retails for $1,799.99, so you pocket $500 in savings.
The Alienware 16X Aurora is my favorite gaming laptop for most people. It's an excellent mid-ranger featuring a 2.5K 240Hz matte display, a satisfying keyboard with one-zone RGB backlighting, and an attractive, port-packed design. The $1,999.99 variant I tested has a high-end Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of storage, and it's not on sale just yet. However, the same model with double the storage is only $1,649.99 on Dell's website (normally $2,099.99). That beats a competing deal at Best Buy by $50.
If you need more screen space than a regular laptop offers but don't love the idea of hauling around a separate monitor, allow me to introduce you to the latest Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It's a gorgeous dual-screen laptop with twin 2.8K 120Hz OLED displays, a smooth detachable keyboard, and a zippy processor. (It's actually slightly speedier than an M4 MacBook Pro.)
This laptop is usually priced at $2,079.99, but Lenovo has it on sale for just $1,559.99 — a 25% savings. It's a better value than ever, especially when you add the fact that its matching mouse, stylus, keyboard case, and protective sleeve case are all included.
Lenovo's convertible Chromebook Plus is my favorite Chromebook for most buyers because of its stellar build quality, decent performance, great speakers, and nice keyboard. There are two configurations available for $599: One with an Intel Core i5-1334U processor and 256GB of storage (which we tested), and another with a less powerful Intel Core i3-1315U processor and 128GB of storage. The latter is obviously a worse value at full price, but Best Buy is currently selling it for $349 (or $250 off), making it a great option for budget shoppers with basic needs.
Acer's all-new Chromebook Plus Spin 514 features an unrivaled 18-hour battery life and a fast processor (relatively speaking) with an NPU that supports two exclusive AI features. I've tried the Best Buy-exclusive configuration that has 12GB of memory and a 120Hz touchscreen display, which retails for $699, and I'm kind of obsessed with it. It's overkill for most Chromebook users, sure, but it's definitely worth considering if you want a high-end, super-future-proofed model — especially now that it's $100 off for Black Friday. It's never been on sale before.
Though we've been seeing great deals all month, Black Friday proper has only just arrived. And with it, the best deals of the season.
While we saw some early Black Friday earbuds deals last week, Thanksgiving week has brought plenty more record prices, with Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target hosting sales. Walmart and Amazon have the Apple AirPods 4 down to a new record-low of $69, Walmart has the AirPods Pro 2 down to $139, and Amazon brought back its classic $35 Echo Buds with ANC deal (and it's already sold out). More premium releases are on sale too: The new second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are down to a record-low of $216, and the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 are getting a rare markdown, hitting their lowest price ever at $222.99.
In this story, you'll find the best Black Friday deals on earbuds, including noise-cancelling earbuds, sleep earbuds, and sports buds. We'll continue updating this post through Cyber Monday, so check back if you're looking for more earbuds savings.
The second-gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds dropped this past September and got their first discount by the end of the same month, with a nearly $42 price cut. When we saw they dropped to $249 in November, we weren't sure we'd get an even lower price on Black Friday, but as sales kicked off in earnest, the black and desert gold colorways went down to $216, a new record-low price. The desert gold option has already sold out, but the black colorway is still going strong. With their rich sound, excellent noise cancellation, and nearly unbeatable comfort, they're certainly a premium earbud, but on sale, an absolutely great value.

The Shokz OpenDots One are Mashable's favorite open earbuds for most people, but they can be tricky to catch on sale, making them the perfect Black Friday purchase. In his review, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti sang their praises, noting the sound quality that rivaled the more expensive Bose Ultra Open earbuds (also on sale), the 10 hours of battery life per charge, and great touch controls (which are not to be underrated, especially if you plan on using these earbuds while exercising).

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds aren't your only viable option for sleep earbuds, but at this sale price of $107.99, they may be the best value. While the newer A30 buds (also on sale) offer ANC and some white noise features, we don't think they necessarily justify a $72 price difference, making the A30 buds firmly an upgrade option, and the A20 buds the best option for most people. Even with just the passive noise cancellation, they were able to block standard nighttime sounds like noisy neighbors, street noise, and AC units. They're especially great if you plan on streaming audio.

Check out more Black Friday headphones deals live now.
The best Black Friday headphones deals still live: Apple, Bose, and Sony at best prices everBose and Sony headphones make up the best audio deals on Black Friday — here are the 15 best deals our headphones expert found.
I pretty much spend every day I'm at work testing out headphones and earbuds, which means I've become well-versed in which headphones are actually worth your money.
This year has been an especially noteworthy year for headphones, with flagship releases from Sony, Bose, and Bowers & Wilkins. Flagship headphones are often the ones that get recommended on best of lists — ours included — but considering the new norm for a starting price is $449, they're not exactly the most affordable choice out there. Enter: Black Friday, when tech deals abound.
I've spotted some especially noteworthy headphones and earbuds price drops for Black Friday — all of which Mashable has recommended in some capacity. In this case, a noteworthy deal is not simply something on sale. In fact, I've only selected deals that are actually great Black Friday deals (and not easy to grab on sale at other times of the year).
For instance, I didn't add the second-generation Bose QC Ultra earbuds to this list when they were on sale for $249 — they hit that price in September, and have returned to it since (before Black Friday deals kicked off). However, for Black Friday, they've dipped down to $216, making them a deal worth mentioning as truly one of the best.
Now that Black Friday is officially here, plenty of headphones are down to record-low prices. I've been scouring the savings to come up with this selection of the 15 best headphones and earbuds deals live for Black Friday.
The first time I put the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones on, I knew they were the most comfortable headphones I'd ever worn (Mashable's Samantha Mangino had a similar experience). That belief became even firmer over years of use (and testing them against new competitors). Although the new second-generation headphones feel ever so slightly more comfortable, the originals still hold up.
On sale for $299, they're a much better value than the $449 second-gen Ultras. Their main quirks include no passive playback and the occasional difficulty pairing to more than one device. However, when I compared them directly against their newer counterpart, I found the ANC and sound to be very similar. This is a great deal, and people are taking notice — these headphones have already sold out at Amazon in a couple of colorways.
As I mentioned in the intro, despite being a relatively new release, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds (2nd gen) have gone on sale a couple of times, dropping down to $249 in select colorways. For Black Friday, the black colorway has dropped to a record-low price of $216.
I get that, sale or not, over $200 is a hefty investment for a pair of earbuds. To that, I would say if you're someone looking for something you can wear all day, and prioritize top-of-the-line noise cancellation above all else, these earbuds will be worth it for you. The fit keeps them secure without causing soreness, and helps seal you into a place of quiet that, along with the ANC, rivals many over-ear headphones I've tested.
While the QC Ultras are one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones out there, the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones take the top spot. They also come with some nice quality of life upgrades, including a 30-hour battery life, passive playback support, lossless audio support with the USB-C cable, and an upgrade to their design with new colorways and a shiny metal accent. They're maybe not upgrade-worthy if you already own the first-gen headphones, but if it's your first foray into the QC Ultra line, grabbing these headphones for their price drop drop ever (and a pretty solid one at that) is a smart buy.
The thing about Sony flagship headphones is that they're going to sound incredible. With the release of the XM6s, the WH-1000XM5 headphones are the former flagship headphones, but their sound profile remains one of the best in the game. I particularly like the "find your equalizer" feature that guides the less audiophile inclined among us through the process of finding their perfect custom EQ sound, which really helps these headphones shine. More generally speaking, when I tested the XM6s and XM5s head-to-head, I didn't find any huge discrepancies in performance. Plus, the XM6s got a $50 price bump to their list price, meaning that even if they were to get a $50 price drop over Black Friday (a markdown we've only spotted once before), they'll still be $150 more than the XM5s at this price point.
While these are still $150 more than the XM5s, it is worth mentioning that the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are down to their lowest price ever at $398. It's certainly possible that their price will drop even further next week, but I've also seen Sony stick to their initial discounts in past shopping holidays. If you want the best sound Sony (and most brands, tbh) has to offer, industry-leading ANC, and ear cups that fold in (a convenient feature for travelers), then the XM6s are an excellent choice. In his review, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "if you want best-in-class noise-cancelling headphones and pristine audio quality, the headphones deliver."
Noise-cancelling headphones with great sound quality from a reputable brand don't need to cost several hundred dollars, and the Sony WH-CH720N are proof of exactly that. Mashable named them Sony's best headphones under $100, with Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti singing their praises after two years of use. He deemed their sound quality "near flagship" level, and was impressed by the 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, which beats out the current flagship models of both Bose and Sony.
Though you can often find them on sale for $98 (a feat on its own, considering their $179.99 list price), it's slightly less common to find them on sale for $88, making this a great deal on Black Friday. As an added bonus, the pink colorway is more unique than you might find from other budget headphones options under $100.
Open earbuds are great if you prefer staying somewhat aware of the world around you, but in my experience, that can come in the form of less-than-stellar sound quality. In the case of the Bose Ultra Open earbuds, you get the best of both worlds. I suspect that's a large part of the reason behind their $299 price tag (which admittedly feels more appropriate for noise-cancelling earbuds). That's why I recommend them as an upgrade pick for open earbuds, and why I'm an especially big fan of this $100 off deal. In addition to their surprisingly rich sound, I especially like their small charging case, smartly placed on-ear controls, comfortable clip-on design, and many options for colorways.
Rounding out my picks is maybe the most underrated Bose product — the QuietComfort earbuds. Though their design isn't the most elegant, that's pretty much where their underwhelming features end. For starters, these earbuds have incredible battery life — in my weeks of testing them, I rarely had to charge them, and easily squeezed in a five-hour day of use, with ANC on and battery life to spare.
Sound and noise-cancellation-wise, they don't wow quite as much as the QC Ultra earbuds, but they're also significantly cheaper, even at full price. For their $129 sale price, they're less than half the price of the premium earbuds, and I promise, their performance doesn't reflect that. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say there's more of a $50 to $75 performance discrepancy between the two earbuds, which is why we've named these the best mid-budget earbuds currently on the market. Though we've seen them drop to $129 before, it is their lowest price ever, still making this a great grab on Black Friday.
I don't know if it's possible a more affordable headphones deal will pop up this Black Friday. The JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones, already a solid value at full price, are an even better value at their usual sale price of about $40, and a downright steal at this new Black Friday price (and new record low) of $27. This beats Amazon's deal by over $12 and last year's Black Friday pricing by $2. When I tested these headphones, I was surprised by their battery life, along with how solid their sound and ANC performed, as well as the extensive customizability on their app. Mashable's Haley Henschel owns these headphones, and appreciates their comfort. They're our favorite budget headphones and one of our top picks for students for a reason.
When I first tried out the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, I wasn't sure I'd like them all that much, as I had trouble finding how to properly put them on with the ear hook (my colleague Sam Mangino had a similar experience). However, there's a reason they say first impressions aren't everything — after we both found the right ear tip size and got through this small learning curve, we fell in love with these earbuds. So did Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti, who gave them a Mashable Choice Award in his review.
This consensus made these an easy pick for the best earbuds for working out: though their ANC isn't the best, it's present, the ear hook keeps the buds in place without being uncomfortable, the sound is rich, the on-ear controls reliable and perfect for using mid-workout, and the built-in heart rate monitor is a convenient feature, especially if you don't already own a fitness tracker. Though they've hit this sale price before, they don't go on sale often, so I recommend grabbing them while you can.
Mashable loved the Beats Studio Pro when they first dropped in 2023, and after testing them again in 2025 against the rest of the Beats lineup, we found that they held up. Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti compared them to another Apple over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max, saying the Beats Studio Pro have a lot of overlap in features with AirPods, making the Beats a much better bang for your buck. The Studio Pro have better battery life (24 hours compared to the AirPods' 20), and according to Bracetti, better sound quality and similar ANC. The AirPods Max are currently on sale for $399.99, meaning you could buy two pairs of these Beats and still have money left over.
This deal in particular applies to the Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian model, which at the time of writing are $20 cheaper than the regular Studio Pros' sale price (which just feature different colorway options).
Many popular flagship headphones have roughly 30 hours of battery life, which makes the whopping 60 hours of battery life found on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 all the more impressive. (And yes, that's with ANC on). This feature certainly made them a standout to us, and earned them the spot of Mashable's favorite headphones with long battery life, but that wasn't the only place they wowed.
When I tested these headphones out, trying to wear down that mammoth battery life felt like marginally less of a chore because of their excellent sound quality. The ANC stood out less than competitors, and the touch controls were on the sensitive side, but the companion app added enough customizability that it was never a real problem. I also appreciate that even with both pairs on sale, these headphones are cheaper than the Dyson OnTrac headphones, their only real competition for battery life. (And in my opinion, the Sennheisers have a much more elegant design). At $199.95, these headphones are just a couple of dollars away from their lowest price ever, and in a price range I've typically only seen around the holiday season.
Indicators that Black Friday is absolutely in full swing? The price drop on the Apple AirPods 4. It was already great to see them drop down to $79 — their former lowest price ever — earlier this month, but Amazon outdid itself before Black Friday even started. These earbuds have dropped to an impressive $69, bringing them down to yet another record low. I'd be surprised if their price drops much further, so if you're an Apple user who doesn't need earbuds with ANC, it'll be hard to beat this deal.
The Raycon Everyday Earbuds may have made a name for themselves through many a YouTube sponsorship, but after testing them out for myself, I can personally verify that these are really solid budget earbuds. These are the perfect option for anyone who wants the basics done well, without the hassle of any setup. They come sans companion app (and a button for Bluetooth), but they pair easily as soon as they're powered on, and can be controlled entirely by the tactile on-ear controls.
Both their sound quality and ANC are solid; they come with eight hours of charge with ANC on (the same as the AirPods Pro 3), and six gel tips for finding the perfect fit. If you're looking for budget headphones with a few more extras, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are also on sale — although they're a great value, they do drop down to this price point year-round, making them a less impressive Black Friday deal.
Maybe the biggest flaw of the Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 earbuds is that they rarely go on sale. With this Black Friday deal, these earbuds aren't just getting a rare price cut, but they're down to their absolute lowest price ever. In his review of the earbuds, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth pointed to their audio quality as their standout feature, writing, "While Bose retains an edge on overall comfort, I'm not aware of any wireless earbuds in the world that offer better, fuller, more accurate sound."
In addition to the excellent sound quality, these earbuds come equipped with top-notch adaptive ANC, three-way multipoint pairing that works without a hitch, LDAC support, and a premium design with metal accents on the earbuds and case.
Black Friday is technically over, but retailers are continuing to serve up significant discounts on MacBooks as we move into Cyber Weekend. In fact, the discounts currently live mark the lowest prices of the holiday shopping season for the core 2025 models — all of which are still on sale right now.
Amazon and Best Buy have rolled their Black Friday sales directly into their Cyber Weekend events, and their deals on Apple laptops remain strong. Some standouts include the M4 MacBook Air down to $749 and the very latest MacBook Pro with M5 chip, still getting its biggest discount yet, saving you $200.
These deals beat out what you're going to find at the Apple Store. As usual, the brand is hosting its Black Friday gift card promo, which gives you a small sum back to use on Apple products after you've made your purchase. But as far as discounts go, Apple will be bereft of discounts like those you can find elsewhere. Here's the good news, though. If you're looking for more Apple savings on iPads, AirPads, and more, you can check out our Apple deals recommendations and sign up to receive Mashable's deals alert over text.
For the best Black Friday MacBook deals still live, read on!
We’ve named the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air the best option for students because it's incredibly lightweight and thin, which makes for ultimate portability. This model is currently on sale for just $749, and trust us, that's a serious bargain. We doubt you will see this price drop any lower throughout Cyber Weekend, so if you need a reliable machine for school, now's the time to grab it.
It was a pleasant surprise to see the latest MacBook Pro already getting a discount before Black Friday even hit. But then the price dropped again, settling at an incredible low for Cyber Weekend. This is your chance to grab the brand-new MacBook Pro with M5 chip for just $1,349, saving you $250 off its $1,599 list price.

The best Black Friday drone deals still live: Score record lows on DJI drones before a potential banThe best Black Friday drone deals in 2025 from DJI, Holy Stone, and more take over 20% off.
Drones have been all over the news lately, mainly due of DJI. While it's not official yet, it's possible that DJI drones will face a ban come December. Yes, December as in just a few weeks away. That means shopping Black Friday sales could be your last chance to snag a DJI drone, for a while at least.
Of course, this is 2025, and nothing is unexpected, so the buzz of a DJI ban could get swept off the table in an instant. But to be sure, consider this a great time to buy a new DJI drone, or any drone, for that matter.
Check back here as we continue to update this article throughout the Black Friday sale period. Keep in mind that if you're going with a DJI model, you might have to buy from a third-party seller. We've only included third-party sellers with positive reviews over the last year.
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the DJI Mini 4K Drone is great for both beginners and expert drone fliers. Plus, it weighs less than 249 grams, which is the threshold for not needing a license in most locations to fly the drone. Other nice features of the DJI Mini 4K are the one-touch takeoff and landing function, in addition to the "return-to-home" command. Today's deal on the bundle gives you two batteries for up to 62 minutes of flight time. According to our favorite Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest Amazon has ever offered for this bundle.
DJI Flip Two Battery Combo — $309 $389 (save $80)
DJI Flip (RC 2 with Fly More Combo) — $639 $779 (save $140, backordered)
DJI Avata 2 FPV Drone (Goggles N3 and 3-Battery Fly More Combo) — $789 $929 (save $140, preorder)
DJI Avata 2 FPV Drone (Goggles 3 and 3-Battery Fly More Combo) — $1,329 $1,369 (save $40)
If you're not in the market for a DJI drone, Holy Stone is one of the biggest competitors. Thanks to this Black Friday Amazon sale and an on-page coupon, the Holy Stone HS720G Drone Bundle is on sale for just $191.99 instead of the list price of $357.99. The bundle includes two batteries, so you'll be good for a 52-minute flight with a 4K EIS camera. When you're done flying, fold it up and store it in the convenient carrying case.
Holy Stone Mini Drone — $33.99 $39.99 (save $6)
Holy Stone HS15D Drone — $199.49 $269.99 (save $70.50)

Don't have time to read a bunch of paragraphs? Use the table of contents dropdown to skip to my straightforward Black Friday robot vacuum recommendations.
I test robot vacuums for a living and have been keeping tabs on robot vacuum deals trends for over half a decade — and I'd say Black Friday's count of robot vacuums on sale beats spring cleaning sales and even both Prime Days. It makes sense: Many brands release their new vacuums for the year at CES in January (or at least near the CES time frame), so Black Friday is often an eleventh-hour push to sell the "old" but still great robot vacuums from the past year.
Black Friday deals on robot vacuums are out in full force now that the day is actually here, and between Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target, there are a lot to choose from. Take a few minutes to read up on what to look for in a robot vacuum, and assess the features that are non-negotiables in your home, then make your move. (Plus, see why to think twice about buying a Roomba this Black Friday.)
To make your life easier, I've organized the robot vacuum deals that are actually worth your money into a few categories: premium robot vacuum mop combos with 15,000 Pa suction power (these would be good for pet hair pickup), more budget-friendly robot vacuum and mop combos, and then a few non-mopping robot vacuums. I'll be updating this post with new drops, price updates, or stock changes through Cyber Monday.
The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller is the most powerful robot vacuum on the mainstream market, and it's less than $1,000 for the first time ever for Black Friday. Spending that much on a vacuum probably sounds like brain rot to budget shoppers, but think of it this way: The Dreame's 30,000 Pa of suction power is more than 10,000 Pa stronger than the most powerful robot vacuums we saw on sale last Black Friday, and they were still hovering around the $1,000 mark. With the addition of a robust self-rinsing roller mop, this is a real bang for your buck.
I've been testing the Aqua10 Ultra Roller at home for over a month and can personally confirm its efficacy. Its pet hair pickup on rugs has impressed me the most: It has had about a 99 percent pickup rate for large clumps of cat hair that I put in its path and smoosh down into various pile heights. On patterned rugs that camouflage the layer of fur to the naked eye, I've ChomChom-ed the area after the Aqua10 Ultra Roller has done a few passes — and there's barely anything left over to get rolled into the ChomChom compartment. This carpet performance, plus a livestream pet camera, makes the Aqua10 Ultra one of the best vacuums a pet owner could have on hand (robot or not).

Nothing will make you realize you need to upgrade your kitchenware more than cooking Thanksgiving dinner. If you're already deep into prep and realizing that your blender's motor kicked it or your nonstick pans are starting to stick, then it's time to upgrade. So if you're shopping, you need to be shopping the sales.
Black Friday is packed with a ton of kitchen deals this year. Ninja is really the star of the Black Friday kitchen deals, with its buzziest appliances, like the Creami, Slushi, and Crispi, all on sale. SharkNinja dove hard into Black Friday on the brand's website and is bundling high-value free gifts with plenty of great kitchen items, so be sure to check out that event.
If you're looking to kick off your Black Friday shopping with some kitchen upgrades, these are the best deals we've spotted. If your Thanksgiving meal prep reveals a need for something new, check back here as we'll be updating this page often.
While testing the best Ninja appliances, I fell totally in love with the Ninja Luxe Café Pro Espresso machine. It's a dual espresso and coffee maker that does single servings without the pods. It bridges the gap between amateur and pro at-home baristas, automating the coffee-making process so it's easy to make the perfect coffee or latte. It's a new release, but just hit its lowest price ever at $599.95, saving you $150 off its list price for 20% savings.

My Our Place Wonder Oven is the hero of my kitchen, so I was thrilled to see the debut of the brand's Wonder Oven Pro. It's a bigger, multi-tasking oven that now has a digital screen for more precise cooking. It's $50 off during Our Place's Black Friday sale, bringing it down to $275, for 15% off.
In Mashable's testing of the best Ninja appliances, the Ninja Creami Scoop & Swirl was the overall favorite version of the Creami. Thanks to SharkNinja's Black Friday event, the machine that will bring constant joy to your kitchen is down to a new record low price of $279.99. This appliance will give you unlimited soft serve, milkshakes, frozen yogurt, ice cream, gelato, and plenty more. What's not to love?

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Nov. 20, a full week ahead of Black Friday proper. But as you probably know at this point, the actual dates of the sale are blurred beyond recognition. Many deals, particularly on Amazon's own devices, were already live days before the event — and will likely stick around after all is said and done. Other than Prime Day, Black Friday season is the best time of year to score an Amazon device for cheap.
Plenty of Fire tablets, Fire TVs, Fire TV Sticks, and Blink security cameras hit record-low prices early on. We were particularly impressed by the Fire TV deals, with some 2025 models up to $210 off. Not to mention the best Fire Stick deal I've personally ever seen is still going strong. Echo speakers and smart displays, as well as Kindles, were slower to trickle in, but have now dropped to truly epic all-time lows as well.
We're keeping track of all of the best Amazon device deals for Black Friday below. For deals beyond Amazon devices, be sure to follow along with all of Mashable's coverage in our Black Friday hub.
Amazon's best iPad competitor and our favorite Fire tablet, the Fire Max 11, is down to $189.99 (for the version with double storage) at Amazon during its Black Friday sale — more than 30% in savings. As Mashable's reviewer noted, "The Amazon Fire Max 11 has a large, 11-inch display and is blazing fast, making it a good alternative to pricier tablets for streaming and games." It also features 8MP cameras that support 1080p video, an octa-core processor, WiFi 6 compatibility, and a 14-hour battery life. While it is a couple of years old, it's the newest generation of the tablet available. (The 64GB model is currently sold out after a popular 39% early Black Friday discount. We'll let you know when it returns.)
Read our full review of the Fire Max 11.
The newest and fanciest Fire TV in Amazon's lineup, the 2025 Omni Mini-LED Fire TV is loaded up with specs. It packs hands-free Alexa, Interactive Art Mode (similar to Samsung's The Frame), a 144Hz refresh rate, and Intelligent Picture technology, which can fine-tune the details of whatever you're watching. With a 4K QLED mini-LED display featuring Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, up to 1,400 nits of peak brightness, and 768 dimming zones, it's easily the best Fire TV picture quality to date. And now that the 55-inch model is down to only $694.99 — its lowest price on record — it's almost in budget-friendly territory.
Though Amazon is no longer basically giving away the Fire TV Stick 4K Select (we're keeping our eyes peeled for the return of coupon code that brought it down to $9.99) it's still a pretty solid deal at $19.99. It's the newest Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup and offers vibrant 4K quality with HDR10+ support, a new operating system called Vega, and the same plug-and-play design you know and love. It will soon also offer support for Alexa+, Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, Amazon Kids+, and NordVPN.

One of Amazon's most popular speakers got a boost last month. Meet the Echo Dot Max — a refreshed smart speaker built for Alexa+, the superpowered AI assistant that can do more than ever before. The Echo Dot Max is small (just slightly bigger than the Echo Dot), but powerful enough to fill large spaces with its 0.8-inch tweeter and a 2.5-inch woofer that support lossless, high-definition audio. It even has an included smart home hub. This is the first discount we've seen yet on the month-old speaker.
I've said it before, but the basic Kindle is my pride and joy, and I annoyingly recommend it to everyone I talk to. I projected it would drop to $79.99 for Black Friday, and I've never been so pleased to be right. That's $30 cheaper than usual and its best price to date. The basic Kindle is the most compact Amazon e-reader — it's small enough to slip into my purse — and has the same screen resolution and paper-like display as its more expensive sibling. The only downside is it's not waterproof, so just be extra careful when reading near water.
Check out our full curated list of Black Friday Kindle deals.
Black Friday is finally here. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised how many big price drops we're seeing on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.
Whether you want to gear up for cold weather adventures, stock up for spring and summer camping, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We're tracking all of the best outdoor deals below as we move through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so check back for the latest price drops.
Plus, we're seeing some popular favorites get the real deal treatment — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro. Be sure to check back as we get deeper into the holiday season and follow along with Mashable's coverage of every category in our Black Friday hub.
A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs. With $800 off, it's down to its best price on record during Black Friday.
A quality Bluetooth speaker makes a great companion in the great outdoors and the JBL Charge 6 is our favorite. It's powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party, but still lightweight enough at just 2 pounds to tote around. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal drops it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy.

The powerful Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler is easy use and transport, and you can set the temperature as a freezer or refrigerator. Not only will the cooler keep your foods perfectly chilled for days, the battery that powers up the electric cooler can also recharge your phone at the campground.

Walmart's official Black Friday continues even though Black Friday itself in in the history books. Walmart's sale runs for another day, so you've got until Nov. 30 to grab those bargains. We've sifted through the latest drop of deals, compared the options to competitors' prices, and pulled together a list of the best Walmart Black Friday deals you cans still snag — get them while the discounts are still live.
Walmart has really brought the doorbusters this year. We've seen some head-spinning record-low prices, like the Apple AirPods 4 on sale for $69, the M1 MacBook Air for $549, the Lego Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer for $40, and Magic Bullet blenders for just $15 a pop.
We're keeping daily tabs on Walmart's Black Friday sale through its online-only Cyber Monday sale on Dec. 1:
Walmart officially has the cheapest 75-inch QLED TV of Black Friday so far. The 75-inch Hisense H5 QLED TV bumps the previous winner (the $399.99 75-inch Insignia QF QLED at Amazon) to second place by $20 and some change. If you're a Roku TV person over a Fire TV person anyway, this Hisense is such a no-brainer upgrade. Compared to a regular LED TV, the QLED difference in brightness and color saturation will be palpable the first time you try to watch anything in a sunlit room.

As much as we love the new Nintendo Switch 2, there's no denying it: the PlayStation 5 is the king of the consoles. And you can find great bundles on PS5 consoles in stock at all the major retailers right now. We like this bundle because the console comes with a full terabyte of storage, plus access to exclusive Fortnite items for PS5 players.

The M1 MacBook Air is the cheapest Apple laptop we recommend. It's quiet, sleek, super portable, and way faster than similarly priced Chromebooks. Walmart almost always has it on sale for $599 (regularly $649), so we were looking for an even deeper Black Friday discount. Our wish was granted: It's now just $549, or 15% off.

This AirPods deal is keeping us on our toes. We were already satisfied when Walmart dropped the AirPods 4 to a record low of $79.99 on Nov. 20, but as of Nov. 25, another $10.99 has been shaved off. How often do you get to say that the latest (non-Pro) AirPods are almost 50% off? Almost never, so bag these before they disappear.

The Apple Watch SE 2 has since been replaced by the SE 3, but except for a longer battery life, they're pretty similar devices. And as of Thanksgiving day, Walmart has dropped prices on the previous-gen model to just $129. We expect this deal to sell out fast, because there's just something satisfying about an Apple Watch that only costs $129.

When Black Friday rolls around each year, I always keep my eye out for significant discounts on premium tech. Black Friday may not officially begin until Nov. 28, but since the start of the month, we've been seeing a wide range of early-access deals on big brands like DJI. If you're looking for premium, DJI is a good place to start.
DJI features heavily in Black Friday sales, especially with the sale just a few days away. So far, I spotted discounts on the DJI Mic Mini, the DJI Osmo 360 camera, and the DJI Air 3 drone, just to name a few popular products. As Mashable has reported, a total ban on DJI drones in the United States could be implemented by the end of the year. With that uncertainty floating in the air, heavy discounts on DJI are needed now more than ever.
I've tracked down seven DJI deals that have caught my eye for Black Friday. Check out my top picks below:
Editor's note: Currently, many DJI products are unavailable in the United States through official retailers, which is why we've included deals from third-party sellers at Amazon.
The DJI Mic Mini is a product that Mashable's tech editor, Timothy Beck Werth, considers to be among the best Black Friday tech deals available right now. This wireless mic, which is a huge hit with content creators, has a helpful magnetic attachment that can be clipped onto a shirt. Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard also tested out the mic, and determined, "If you need any degree of portability with your mic setup, the DJI Mic Mini offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value. That makes it a solid option for making vlogs and TikToks, and for anyone who feels less than confident with their tech skills — once I plugged the receiver into my phone, the mics connected easily and started working with the camera app automatically."
This particular offer comes as a bundle which includes two DJI Mic Mini TX, one RX, and a charging case with a few other accessories. The charging case offers up to 48 hours of battery life to keep you going for a couple of days without a recharge.
If you're a content creator looking to add an action camera to your setup, this discount on the DJI Osmo 360 is well worth a look. Whether you're capturing footage during the day or night, it can support 8K/30fps videos for up to 100 minutes and offers plenty of space to hold everything (105GB of built-in storage, to be exact). Plus, it launched just earlier this summer, making this nearly $200 markdown especially impressive. (It's also out of stock on DJI's website.)
It even has a waterproof and cold-resistant design that's built to handle a variety of elements, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged on shoot. This bundle comes with the Osmo 360 camera, an Osmo Action Extreme Battery Plus (1950 mAh), a protective pouch, a lens cleaning cloth, a USB-C to USB-C PD cable, and a rubber lens protector.
Drone deals are something the Mashable team is keeping a close eye on over Black Friday, and DJI is no exception. One of the best we spotted so far is on the DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo.
Mashable's team had hoped to see the Mini 4K drone go on sale, and while it did briefly drop down to $239, it has since gone back up to $299. However, if you're able to invest a bit more, the combo set is $80 off for Prime members, and comes with a shoulder bag, two batteries, and a propeller holder, making it more convenient to take on the go (and giving you an additional 31 minutes of battery life over the non-combo version). You'll also get access to the same 4K video and three-axis gimbal stabilization you would on the cheaper drone.
If you're looking for a cheaper action camera than the one listed above, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is also on sale right now at Amazon. It features a 155-degree FOV that supports up to 4K/60fps video recording and also features a durable build that's waterproof up to 18 meters and can handle cooler temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). No matter where you decide to take it, this little camera is ready for the adventure.
This Standard Combo will set you up with the DJI Osmo Action 4, a battery, a quick-release adapter mount, a horizontal-vertical protective frame, a curved adhesive base, an Osmo locking screw, a Type-C to Type-C PD cable, a lens hood, an anti-slip pad, and a DJI logo sticker.
A good portable power station can go a long way, and this is one of our favorites. We consider the DJI Power 2000 to be the best portable power station for content creators, as it "proved its worth as a multi-tasker, charging up a phone and camera battery and cooking dinner in the air fryer at the same time." It is currently sporting a nice coupon on Amazon, so you can save during Black Friday.
It's normally listed for $1,299, but this Black Friday deal shaves its price nearly in half, bringing it down to $699 (which amounts to a 47% discount). If you're a content creator or someone looking to have backup power at home or on the go, this powerhouse is a worthy pickup with its 15 ports and expansion up to 22.5kWh.
For content creators shopping around over Black Friday, this is another camera deal to check out before the main event. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vlogging camera features a one-inch CMOS sensor that can record up to 4K resolution videos at 120fps. It even features a touchscreen that can be rotated so you can choose to shoot horizontally or vertically.
There's a lot in this bundle to get you started. The camera comes with a protective cover, wrist strap, a handle with a 1/4-inch thread, and a Type-C to Type-C PD cable.
If you're filming frequently, it's important to keep the camera you're using steady as you capture. The DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal Stabilizer can help with that, and it's currently discounted at Amazon for Black Friday. This stabilizer can support mirrorless cameras, vlog cameras, and phones up to 2kg/4.4lbs. It also comes with everything you need to get started, including the DJI RS 4 Mini gimbal, a tripod, a quick-release plate, an L-shaped multi-camera control cable, a USB-C charging cable, and a screw kit.
Black Friday is back with even more Pokémon deals dropped by all the leading players in the game, meaning you can save serious cash on Pokémon TCG, the most popular Nintendo Switch Pokémon games, Squishmallows, Plushies, Funko Pops, Mega building sets, and plenty of toys.
At Mashable, we've scanned through everything on offer at retailers like Amazon and dug up the ideal Pokémon deals for you on Black Friday; we'll also continuously update this guide to keep you informed on new deals as they drop, along with any price changes on what's already listed. Here are all the best Pokémon deals we've found in the Black Friday sales so far.
This is one of the most anticipated Pokémon TCG products of this year, which is now at the same price as TCGplayer, meaning this is currently at market value on Amazon.
Phantasmal Flames Booster Box — $61.49 $64.99 (save $3.50)
Phantasmal Flames Build & Battle Box — $58.50 $74.95 ($16.45)
Destined Rivals Eight Booser Pack — $87.89 $95.25 (save $7.36)
Mega Evolutions Elite Trainer Box (Mega Gardevoir) — $79.69 $99.99 (save $20.03)
Phantasmal Flames Booster Box — $254.99 $299 (save $44.01)
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a great ride (more so on Switch 2), but Legends: Arceus kicked off the experimental mainline series that sees Pokémon games turning long-standing mechanics on their heads. Arceus isn't optimized for Nintendo Switch 2, but it's still such a great game. With a cheeky Black Friday discount thrown in, you should see what you've been missing out on.
What's better than one classic starter? Three classic gen one starters, with an extra markdown thanks to a coupon code. Pick up a Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle for $45.48.
It's rare to see significant discounts on Squishmallows, and Pokémon is even more infamous for dodging price cuts. But there are plenty of Pokémon Jumbo Squishmallow Black Friday deals right now, such as this cute Eevee with $15 slashed off. They're so soft and perfect cuddle buddies, according to my kids of course...
If you're wondering what would go down well for the Pokémon fan in your life, this is a safe bet that won't break the bank this Black Friday. Cyndaquill, Charmeleon, and Arcanine are all fan-favorite fire type Pokémon, and is one of the better 3-inch figure sets I've seen.
Sleeping Pokémon plushies are life, and these are by far some of the most popular. It's not a huge discount, but anything with the Kanto generation starter Pokémon is popular, and these are so fluffy. They're not huge either, so it's a perfect stocking filler.
The news that Pokémon is finally making the jump to Lego next year is ridiculously awesome, but there's already plenty of seriously cool Mega Pokémon sets to build. This Motion Eevee is always a favorite around Black Friday, and it's nearly $15 off right now. It sports 1,366 pieces and features moving ears, legs, and tail as the set re-creates a running motion.
When the big shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday come around, our sights are set on our favorite tech. It's often the only time when they're guaranteed to get a discount. My favorite gadgets? Kindles. It's part of my job to test e-readers, but outside of work hours, you'll still find me and my Kindle attached at the hip.
But the thing with Kindles is that they rarely go on sale. Sure, there's the occasional random discount throughout the year, but the best guaranteed price is almost always going to be during Prime Day or Black Friday. So as we look to Black Friday, which is finally here on Friday, Nov. 28, we're hunting the best Kindle deals.
Amazon has officially kicked off its Black Friday sales, and the e-reader deals rock. All Kindle models are not just on sale, but down to their lowest prices ever. The Kindle Colorsoft is now down to $169.99, while the basic Kindle reached a new low of $79.99. So if you've been waiting to buy a Kindle, now's the time. Here are the best Kindle deals — on devices and accessories — to shop during Amazon's Black Friday sale.
I didn't know what to expect from Amazon's Black Friday Kindle Deals, but I'm blown away. Every device has dropped to its lowest price ever, and there are some major standouts. The Kindle e-reader with the best discount is the Kindle Colorsoft. It's down to $169.99, saving an astounding $80 off its $249.99 price tag. While I wouldn't recommend buying the device at full price, I think it's an exceptional deal ahead of Black Friday.
The Colorsoft has all the perks of a Paperwhite; it's waterproof, has adjustable warmth and brightness, and has an extremely long battery life of eight weeks. But the bonus? It has full color displays so you can enjoy graphic novels and book covers in full detail.
However, if you're not into the Colorsoft, there are plenty of other stellar deals to shop, including the basic Kindle down to its lowest price ever.
Yeah, we're mostly talking about Kindle deals here, but what if you want to explore the e-reader horizons? Another e-reader to shop is the Kobo Libra Colour, now on sale for $199.99. That knocks 13% off the e-reader, bringing it under $200 and $30 off. It's our favorite color e-reader, and possesses features you can't find in a Kindle, like an internal gyroscope and page-turning buttons. Plus, if you really hate Amazon, it's a guarantee that you can still find a fantastic e-reader, one that's even better when it's on sale.
I let the TikTok girlies convince me that I needed a remote control page turner and... they were right. This page turner works by gently tapping the screen of your Kindle when you click on the remote. Paired with a gooseneck stand, it's created the coziest possible setup so I can keep my hands warm under the blankets but still get to the next page in my book. I don't usually like recommending products from random Amazon brands, but the Datafy remote control page turner has worked great for me over the past few months. Ahead of Black Friday, it's just $15.99 — that's $4.80 off its $19.99 price tag.
If you want to use your remote control page turner, then you'll need a way to prop up your Kindle. I use this gooseneck stand by Magipea. It's super easy to use, able to clamp onto tables of any thickness. It holds Kindles securely, too, no budging if you move or bump into it. It's down to $16.12 ahead of Black Friday, saving you 46% off and $13.87.
I found plenty more Kindle stands on sale, including one that doubles as a snack tray.
My favorite Kindle case is one paired with a PopSockets phone grip. If you're using a grip on your phone, you should definitely be using one on your e-reader. A clear case is suitable for both the minimalists or the creatives who want to customize it themselves. Right now, you can grab each on sale, and while I had to hunt to find these savings, as we get closer to Black Friday, I expect savings on Kindle cases to explode.
Most of the time, I prefer not to buy books for my Kindle and instead borrow books through Libby. But if I do buy a Kindle book, it's usually because it's under $2. Amazon is always dropping prices on books, and you can often find prize-winning and bestselling titles for $2 or less. Last week, the book deals were a little better, but there are still some hidden gems like The Cruel Prince for just $2.99.
The best Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones deals still live: Sony, Beats, and Bose for new lowsScore the best Black Friday deals on noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds. Save $152 on flagship Sony headphones and $83 on Bose's new QC Ultra earbuds.
As Mashable's tech editor, I've covered a lot of cool headphone launches this year. The long-awaited Sony XM6 headphones finally came out this year, and we also got new flagship headphones from Nothing, Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, and Beats. If you need a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the Black Friday season is the best possible time to buy. All of the headphones I mentioned are currently sitting at record prices — all of them.
However, you won't find all of them in this guide, as not every Black Friday headphones deal is worth shopping. I've gathered the biggest discounts on the noise-cancelling headphones I'd actually recommend buying, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for Christmas gifts for techies.
Some of the best Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones deals have already earned a spot in our guide to the top deals. From audiophile-worthy headphones from Bowers & Wilkins to the latest Bose wireless earbuds, you'll find the best of the best here.
And PS: Deals really aren't here to stay. Now that Black Friday moves towards Cyber Monday, we've noticed that AirPods are increasing in price. Walmart's deal on the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4 with ANC at Amazon have both increased in price, so act fast to secure these low prices.
Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.
I tested Sony's legendary XM5 headphones against the newer version, the XM6, as did Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard. And both of us found that they're far more alike than different. Unless you're a picky audiophile, I think most people should opt for the XM5 model while it's on sale, which is what Allard recommended in her comparison. These headphones have never been priced this low, and they still have all the features you really need: excellent audio quality, best-in-class active noise-cancellation, and an easy-to-use app to adjust EQ settings.

The best Black Friday AirPods deals still live: $69 AirPods 4 and record-low price on AirPods Pro 3Black Friday may be over, but we're still seeing all-time low prices on AirPods, including the popular AirPods 4 for just $69.
If you’ve been waiting all year to grab a new pair of AirPods, now’s your chance. Black Friday sales are Cyber Weekend deals now at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, and some of Apple’s signature earbuds are still sitting at record prices. Several retailers have slashed prices across the AirPods lineup, from entry-level AirPods to the premium AirPods Max. So, if you're looking to snag some before Cyber Monday, we've got all the details you need to score the best price.
For the absolute lowest price on AirPods, Walmart, Target, and Amazon are leading the pack right now with a record-low price on the AirPods 4, an entry-level pair of buds. All three retailers have the price down to $69. And if you want to level up, the AirPods Pro 3 are also at their lowest price ever at $219.99, but at your pick of retailer — you can find this deal at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
We've checked all the major retailers to make sure you get the best prices on AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max products.
Black Friday may be over, but the base model AirPods 4 are still at their record-low price of $69 at Amazon, Target, and Walmart. This is an incredible price for genuine Apple wireless earbuds, especially since the base model rarely drops below $100. Given that this price is almost 50% off retail, we're not sure how long this deal will last before stock completely vanishes, so grab these before they're gone.
AirPods Pro 3 are the very latest and most advanced pair of Apple's earbuds, and for Black Friday/Cyber Weekend, they just hit their biggest discount yet. The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are currently down to $219.99, saving you $29.01. While that's not a massive percentage off, this is the absolute best price we've found on the just-released model. The AirPods Pro 3 offer exceptional sound, 2x better active noise cancellation than the AirPods Pro 2, Live Translation, and heart-rate monitoring (meaning you can track your workouts without a watch). You can pick up this discount at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
The stylish, over-the-ear AirPods Max are all about sounding great while turning heads, and they're especially tantalizing at this price. They offer great noise cancellation, simple controls, and 20 hours of battery life per charge. While they're the most expensive offering out of Apple's AirPods stable, you can score them for a reasonable price right now thanks to this Black Friday AirPods deal still live at Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart.
Apple's basic EarPods may be the cheapest of everything the company offers, but they're still no slouch when it comes to sound. These corded earbuds feel great and sound even better for the price, with a built-in remote that lets you adjust volume, control music playback, and answer calls. Plus, their built-in mic makes chatting on the go feel like a dream.
Home Depot is still giving away free cordless tools for Black Friday — See BOGO offers on DeWalt, Ryobi, Milwaukee,The Home Depot has some fantastic offers and buy-one-get-one deals for Black Friday shoppers. Here's how to get free cordless tools with your order.
Some dads only want one thing for Christmas: A Home Depot gift card. Well, here's something easier than picking out Christmas gifts for dads — a buy-one-get-one tool deal from the Home Depot.
Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy get a lot of attention for their annual Black Friday sales, but we're here to put some respect on the Home Depot's name. Just like last year, the Home Depot is giving away free cordless tools with eligible purchases in an epic BOGO promotion. As part of this buy-one-get-one sale, you can pick up a cordless drill, an extra battery and charger pack, a cordless leaf blower, a circular saw, and tons more tools with your purchase. The extra tool is absolutely free with an eligible purchase.
All you have to do is pick out a qualifying "main item" and the free tool of your choice will be included in your order. A ton of top-rated Ryobi, DeWalt, and Milwaukee products are available as freebies in this promotion. Here's an example of how it works: Add an item like the Milwaukee Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit to your cart, and then you'll be able to select a free gift with purchase. Options include a $200 portable tire inflator, a $279 nail gun, or a $199 reciprocating saw, also from Milwaukee.
In total, more than 123 popular cordless tools and power tool combo kits are included in the Home Depot's Black Friday BOGO sale. We've included some standout cordless tool deals, as well as the best competitor deals from other retailers, below.
An impact wrench is a clutch tool to have on hand for a variety of DIY jobs around the house (from assembling furniture to building a whole-ass patio) to car repairs. This well-reviewed model from DeWalt is sporting a 55% discount at Home Depot — one of the heftiest price drops you'll see on a power tool this Black Friday — and it comes with a free tool of your choice.

Black Friday deals on cordless tools are just as valuable to the average non-handy person as they are to DIY experts. Just imagine being able to mount your new TV on the wall without begging a friend with a drill to come over. Or being able to assemble a new piece of furniture with an Allen wrench drill bit instead of twisting the entire thing by hand.
Besides the Home Depot's BOGO sale, we've found a ton more Black Friday deals on cordless power tools at Amazon, Lowe's, and Best Buy.
This is a classic Black Friday deal that DIY-ers have counted on for years. Even if you're not a DIY expert, a cordless drill can make you feel like one. From assembling furniture to hanging up mirrors or mounting TVs, a cordless drill like this is an essential if you own your own home.

Advent calendars are some of our favorite Christmas gifts, and with Black Friday already here, you're running out of time to order for the holidays. Some of the season's most popular Advent calendars have already gone out of stock, but there are still plenty of festive countdowns available.
Even better, thanks to the best Black Friday deals, you can find popular Advent calendars from top brands like Kiehl's and Williams-Sonoma on sale. Not every calendar will be on sale, but the best ones still represent a great deal, as they let you enjoy hundreds of dollars' worth of products for a lot less than you'd usually pay.
So, whether you're looking for the best beauty Advent calendars, calendars for kids, or something more traditional, we've gathered them all up into one place for you. Keep checking back as we approach Black Friday, as we'll keep adding more products as they go on sale — and crossing off the ones that go out of stock.
This Lego Christmas playset comes with 24 toys in total, and it's packed with easter eggs for Star Wars fans, young and old. (BB-8 as a snowman? A Jawa in a holiday sweater? Say less.) Adults can certainly enjoy Advent calendars, but we're not sure we can enjoy them quite as much as a kid eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus.
Best Buy has been treating the entire month of November like one drawn-out holiday deal dump, but now that its officially Black Friday, there are hundreds of markdowns on name-brand tech across all departments. Its main attractions include record-low prices on big-ticket items like QLED 4K TVs and Windows laptops, free $100 gift cards attached to OLED TVs, plus revolving rounds of doorbusters that feature bonus rewards for paid My Best Buy members.
Best Buy's Black Friday deals are available online and in stores, so if you want to visit a nearby location to check out a gadget before you buy it, the option is there. Here's everything you need to know about Best Buy's Black Friday sale before you shop, including its opening hours, doorbuster lineup, holiday return policy, price-match guarantee, and the best deals to shop now.
Best Buy's Black Friday sale began on Thursday, Nov. 20, and continues through Saturday, Nov. 29. All of its feature deals are available in stores, online, and on the Best Buy mobile app, according to a company press release.
Best Buy stores opened at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Camping out is only mandatory if a deal you're eyeing is sold out online but still available in stores, IMO.
Yes, Best Buy is supplementing its Black Friday deals with some limited-time doorbusters, which it's billing as "some of the best deals on the hottest tech of the season." These offers drop in batches every Friday through Christmas, and paid My Best Buy members earn $5 in bonus rewards for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25). That includes the Plus and Total membership tiers.
I've listed all of Best Buy's current doorbusters below. All of them are decent deals except for the EA video games and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which are cheaper to buy from Amazon and/or Walmart.
Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones — $149.99 $349.99 (save $200)
Insignia 65-inch F50 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV — $229.99 $449.99 (save $220)

I've spent hours upon hours combing through Best Buy's Black Friday deals, and I've identified just over 150 of them that are worth shopping. (By that I mean they aren't one-upped by better offers at other retailers.) Here's a quick look at the highlights:
Best Buy doesn't price-match competitors' deals during Black Friday, but it will price-match itself. If something you've bought there from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 gets cheaper during that period, you can request to have your purchase adjusted to the better price through Jan. 15, 2026. The only items that aren't covered by this price-match guarantee are holiday decorations and products that come with a third-party contract (like smartphones).
For example, if you purchased a pair of Apple AirPods Max for $429.99 at Best Buy earlier this week, you should be able to take advantage of their new lower price of $399.99 (live as of Nov. 25).
Under its extended holiday return policy, Best Buy will accept returns for most items purchased from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 through Jan. 15, 2026. That deadline stretches to Jan. 31 for paid My Best Buy members.
Similar exclusions apply here. Holiday decorations have a 15-day return window, for one. "Activatable" devices (meaning those that come with data plans) can only be returned within 14 days, and they have a $45 restocking fee if opened. Scooters, drones, digital cameras, action cameras, lenses, projectors, fitness recovery devices, cold tubs, saunas, and special-order products have a 15% restocking fee if they're unboxed.
Best Buy will kick off its Cyber Monday savings event on Sunday, Nov. 30, and it will run for 48 hours through Dec. 1 (aka actual Cyber Monday). The company's press release notes that "there will be limited-time deals available throughout the event," so expect a slightly different assortment than its Black Friday sale.
Serious deal hunters will notice a conspicuous absence from this guide: The award-winning LG C5 OLED TV, specifically the 65-inch model. A lot of our competitors are writing about Best Buy's Black Friday deal on it, and it's easy to see why. The retailer has it listed for $1,399.99, or $1,300 off its usual price. That's a really attractive discount on what's arguably the best TV ever made.
However, this deal isn't as good as it seems. Amazon has been selling the same TV for $1,346.99, but on Black Friday, it dropped prices all the way down to $1,219.99.
But as for the actual best Black Friday OLED TV deal, we're giving that title to the Samsung S95F OLED. That's another of our top OLED TV recommendations for its wickedly effective glare handling, and the 65-inch model is $1,000 off at Best Buy with a free $100 gift card on top.

Apple AirTag — $17.97 $29 (save $11.03)
Amazon Kindle (16GB) — $79.99 $109.99 (save $30)

Black Friday wouldn't be Black Friday without deals on toys, and Legos on sale are an absolutely crucial building block of Black Friday toy deals. 2025 has already seen such a strong wave of Black Friday Lego deals, and you might break a sweat trying to keep tabs on which retailers have which set — unless you're reading Mashable's daily curated list of the best Lego deals from across the internet.
Lego sets we've seen on sale so far include coveted Lego Star Wars (including sets retiring soon), Minecraft, Wicked, and more, almost all at record-low pricing. If the fleeting early Lego deals that dropped last week are any indication, popular Lego deals don't stick around for long. If one catches your eye, grab it while it's still available.
We've gathered the very best Black Friday Lego deals spotted at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and the Lego website live as of Nov. 25.We'll keep this page updated with everything that drops (or sells out) throughout Cyber Monday.
The adorable Grogu with Hover Pram set is expectedly sold out after an incredible 50% discount. But that was hardly Amazon's only good Lego Star Wars deal. It's not nearly as massive as the $849.99 Millenium Falcon you can buy, but this sick Millennium Falcon midi scale set is still unquestionably display worthy. It's a special edition that celebrates the 25th anniversary of "A New Hope," exhibited by a special plaque that sits on the display stand.
Super detailed Lego sets are some of the most fun. The fan favorite Trotting Lantern set looks like true decor when it's built and lit up with the Lego light brick, and can be customized with two alternative silhouette windows. Open it up to see three separate rooms inside, including a shadow theater and traditional new year food stalls.
Lego's official Black Friday sale starts on Black Friday itself (Nov. 28). We're anticipating deals on some mega popular sets (like Star Wars ships that rarely see discounts). Plus, spending at least $65 will unlock a free Lego set that can't be purchased separately: Spend $65 to get the Lego Card Game Set, spend $170 to get the Lego Hot Chocolate Stand, or spend $250 to get the Lego Mini Knight's Castle. Make sure you're a Lego Insiders member (it's free!) to get access to any exclusive promos and redeemable loyalty points.
Note: We previously named the Lego Star Wars: Desert Skiff and Sarlacc Pit set our favorite Lego website deal. It sold out there, but Macy's still has it in stock at the same $63.99 sale price.
This cute Target-exclusive Lego Botanicals duo is $6 cheaper than when we first saw it on sale on Nov. 18. Now, you'll get both the Lego Mini Orchid and the Lego Lucky Bamboo sets together for $41.99 (a 30% discount). They'd make a relaxing office or windowsill decoration for any plant lover.
Target's official Black Friday sale started on Nov. 23, and with it came several new Lego deals we hadn't seen the week prior. A few of our favorite early Black Friday Lego deals at Target sold out quickly, so if you see a must-have on sale, grab it now.
A best seller on the Lego website (but still full price on said Lego website), Walmart has the 15th anniversary Lego Minecraft Crafting Table for $40 — more than 50% off its usual $89.99. You don't need to punch any trees to get logs to build this crafting table. Minecrafters can hone a different type of building skill with this 1,195 piece set, which features five mini builds of 12 iconic Minecraft biomes inside the table itself.
Walmart dropped so many more great Lego deals for the kickoff of its Black Friday sale on Nov. 25. We've already watched on-sale Legos disappear at Walmart this month, so don't hesitate if you find a good price on a set you like.
Are you shopping for someone whose favorite song has been Defying Gravity for the past year? Fans of any age will be psyched to display these adorable sparkly-eyed Glinda and Elphaba figurines on a shelf. Behind them, there's a window overlooking Oz.
Best Buy's Black Friday sale doesn't have as many good Lego deals as other retailers, but Best Buy will be dropping more deals daily.
If you’ve held off on that big renovation, are looking to replace some power tools, or just want to stock up on home essentials, now’s the moment to head to Home Depot. The retailer's Black Friday sale is well underway, so you can shop some of the season's biggest deals ahead.
Home Depot is stacking up some pretty impressive deals, perfect if you're ready to tackle a home project, update your tool collection, or find that perfect, practical gift. Expect hefty discounts on power tools, big-ticket appliances, outdoor gear, and more.
We've sifted through the Home Depot Black Friday sale to give you the rundown on what's available now, so you don't have to spend precious time doing so. The deals include some of the best artificial Christmas trees and with any luck, we'll see the Home Depot Animated Christmas R2-D2 back in stock soon or you can go with the lovable giant animatronic Christmas Chewbacca which is still in stock.
While most of us are doing all of our holiday shopping online, The Home Depot is holding an in-store event on Black Friday itself, starting at 6 a.m. The doorbuster deals include tools from Ryobi, DeWalt, and Milwaukee. You'll also be in for deals on outdoor holiday decorations and major appliances.
Check out what's on offer below at The Home Depot's Black Friday event online. Get your shopping done so you can beat the rush this year.

Like most major retailers, Best Buy has been offering holiday deals all throughout November. Now that Black Friday is officially here, the competition is more ferocious than ever.
Below, I'm keeping a running list of all the actual best Black Friday deals at Best Buy — the products that aren't cheaper anywhere else, even by a cent or two, if they're available at another retailer. I'm digging through all of its listings and cross-checking them with the competition to make sure they're truly add-to-cart-worthy.
If you shopped at Best Buy earlier this month, rest assured that nearly all of its deals have stayed consistent since its Black Friday sale first went live on Nov. 20. Only a couple of Apple devices have gotten cheaper, and the second-gen Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds cost $33 less than earlier this week. (You can request a price adjustment for those through Jan. 15 under Best Buy's holiday price match guarantee.) Three on-sale Samsung TVs also now come with free $100 gift cards.
You'll notice I've marked some deals with a door emoji (🚪), which indicates those Best Buy is featuring as doorbusters. They're only live through the end of the day tomorrow (Nov. 29), and paid My Best Buy members get a $5 bonus reward for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25 total).
Stay tuned for Best Buy's Drop of the day, which stars Lego's The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree set ($299.99). It's currently in stock there, so in all likelihood, the Drop will involve some sort of discount. It's a popular set that's not on sale anywhere else, so I'm guessing it'll sell out fast. The Drop will go live on Best Buy's mobile app at 11 a.m. ET sharp.
Best Buy is selling an even cheaper 13-inch MacBook Air — a $649 M2 model — but the M4 version is a way better buy for only $100 more. It's 48 percent faster, supports two external displays with its lid open, and has a much nicer 12MP Center Stage webcam. I strongly recommend it for students, but also just anyone who wants a fast, portable Apple laptop. This is its lowest price ever, FYI.

It's speedy enough for everyday tasks, offers nearly 22 hours of battery life per charge, and comes with a gorgeous OLED display — something you won't find on any MacBook (for now). It also has a lighter design and double the starting storage of a current-gen MacBook Air. Now $549.99 (or 45% off), it's never been cheaper.

QLED TVs with mini-LED backlighting are brighter and more detailed than regular QLED TVs (which are already a step up from your standard LED display). Mashable's Leah Stodart, our resident TV expert, recommends them for people who watch a lot of sports at night. Best Buy is the only place where you can buy TCL's entry-level QM5K Series 4K mini-LED TVs, and all models are at least half off right now. The 65-incher, our ideal size for most people, is only $449.99 (normally $899.99).

It's been several years since the WH-1000XM4s were Sony's flagship headphones, but we still think they're worth purchasing in 2025 — especially now that they're less than half the price of the newer XM5s and XM6s. Best Buy is selling them for just $159.99 (or 54% off) as one of its doorbusters, and paid My Best Buy members get $15 in bonus rewards for purchasing them. They're only available in used condition from Amazon.

The new JBL Charge 6 is our favorite Bluetooth speaker for most people: It's "big enough to produce sound that will fill an outdoor party, yet still small enough to live on your bookshelf," our experts said. It can also charge smartphones, headphones, and other devices via USB-C — very handy. Best Buy, Amazon, and the JBL website all had it on sale for $129.95 at the time of writing (or $70 off). That appears to be an all-time low.

RDR2 was a 2018 Game of the Year finalist, and it remains one of the most gorgeous and immersive open-world games ever made.

Best Buy and Target are the only retailers matching the PlayStation Store's 75% discount on PS4/PS5 copies this Black Friday. The Xbox version is $14.99 on Amazon, though; it's sold out at Best Buy.

This cordless number from Shark is our favorite budget stick vacuum for pet hair — it's a much better buy than Dyson's V8 or V9 models, said Stodart. (In addition to covering TVs, she's also our in-house vacuum guru.) Best Buy is matching Amazon's Black Friday discount on it, which brings it down to an all-time low price of $148. That's a 51% savings.

Shopping for a multi-styler? After testing them both, Mashable's Bethany Allard recommends the Shark FlexStyle over the Dyson Airwrap. It "offers nearly everything the Airwrap does, and then some extras that the Airwrap doesn't, for half the price," she writes. This navy blue FlexStyle bundle is almost a third of the price of an on-sale Airwrap as part of Best Buy's Black Friday sale. (It's $10 cheaper to buy from Best Buy than from Shark itself.) It comes with four attachments meant for straight and wavy hair.

Cyber Weekend is one of the rare times of year when the Apple Store hosts a sale — sort of. Instead of offering cash discounts on its devices, the tech retailer simply doles out free gift cards with eligible purchases.
Apple's 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping Event runs from Friday, Nov. 28 through Monday, Dec. 1, and it's a little bit more tempting than usual. Shoppers can earn up to $250 worth of free gift cards when they buy one of its gadgets direct, up from $200 in 2024 and 2023. Free money is always nice, of course, but third-party retailers' Black Friday price cuts on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches are far more competitive. Plus, many newer devices are excluded from the Apple Store's promotion.
Right now, there are only five Apple devices and accessories that I would recommend buying on sale from Apple itself (scroll down to find those).
Apple's free gift card offers for Black Friday and Cyber Monday range from $25 to $250, depending on the product. They can only be redeemed on future purchases from the Apple Store in person or online:
AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC — $25 Apple gift card
AirPods Pro 3 — $50 Apple gift card
AirPods Max — $75 Apple gift card
Apple Watch SE 3 and Apple Watch Series 11 — $50 Apple gift card
iPad Air (11- and 13-inch M3) — $100 Apple gift card
iPad (A16) and iPad mini — $50 Apple gift card
iPhone 16 and 16 Plus — $75 Apple gift card
iPhone 16e — $50 Apple gift card
MacBook Air (13-inch M4) — $175 Apple gift card
MacBook Air (15-inch M4) — $200 Apple gift card
MacBook Pro (14- and 16-inch M4 Pro and M4 Max) — $250 Apple gift card
Mac mini — $100 Apple gift card
iMac — $150 Apple gift card
Apple TV 4K — $25 Apple gift card
HomePod — $50 Apple gift card
Beats Studio Pro, Solo 4, Studio Buds +, and Powerbeats Pro 2 — $50 Apple gift card
Beats Pill — $25 Apple gift card
Magic Keyboard Folio for iPad (A16) — $25 Apple gift card
Magic Keyboard for iPad Air (11- and 13-inch) — $25 Apple gift card
Apple Pencil Pro — $25 Apple gift card
Most of the Apple Store's offers pale in comparison to other retailers' cash discounts on its devices (with five notable exceptions — more on them shortly). For instance, Amazon and Walmart have the AirPods 4 marked down to $69 during their Black Friday sales, which is a $60 savings on their list price. If you buy them directly from Apple instead, you're only getting $25 back.
Here's another example: Amazon and Best Buy are both selling the M4 MacBook Airs for $250 off — the 13-inch model is $749 (normally $999), while the 15-incher is $949 (normally $1,199). It's silly to buy either size directly from the Apple Store if you're only saving $175 or $200 apiece, respectively.
Even the high-end MacBook Pros that come with Apple's highest free gift card offer have steeper discounts elsewhere. The M4 Pro and M4 Max models are anywhere from $250 to $500 off across Amazon and Best Buy.
It's also crucial to know that Apple Store's Cyber Week savings event doesn't include some of the newest products, including the M5 MacBook Pro, M5 iPad Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Beats PowerBeats Fit earbuds. The AirTag, HomePod mini, Mac Studio, and Studio Display are also omitted. Third-party retailers are the only places to get any sort of deals on most of them. (The PowerBeats Fit are the sole product I couldn't find on sale anywhere.) We've rounded up the best Apple deals at major retailers here.
I've cross-checked all of the products featured in Apple's Black Friday sale and found five instances where its gift card offer was better than a retailer's cash discount. The rest are all matched or beaten.
The AirPods Pro 3 are currently $219.99 (or $30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. They come with a free $50 gift card to the Apple Store.
The $149 Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen, WiFi + Ethernet) was on sale for $99.99 at Costco, but it's now sold out there. (The deal was limited to Costco members, anyway.) It's full price everywhere else, along with the WiFi-only model. The Apple Store will give you a free $25 gift card for buying either one direct.
The HomePod (2nd Gen) is marked down to $269.99 at Best Buy, which is a $29.01 discount. Meanwhile, it nets you a free $50 gift card to the Apple Store.
The Beats Studio Buds + are $149.95 at Amazon and $149.99 at Best Buy (a $20-ish savings). At Kohl's, they earn you $45 in free Kohl's Cash. But at the Apple Store, they come with a free $50 gift card.
Finally, Amazon has the 13-inch M3 iPad Air's Magic Keyboard on sale for $299.99 in the 13-inch size, saving shoppers just $19.01. The Apple Store throws in a $25 gift card if you buy it there instead.
If you know you're going to be buying something from the Apple Store this Cyber Weekend, snag some Apple gift cards from Target first. Target Circle members get a free $15 Target gift card for every $100 they spend on Apple gift cards there through Nov. 29. The Target Circle loyalty program is completely free to join, so it's an easy way to score even more free money as part of your holiday shopping.
If you're stumped while doing your holiday shopping, the one gift that's basically guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser is free money.
With these Black Friday gift card deals we've rounded up from Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, you get to give that gift to yourself (via the discount) and the intended recipient of the card. With everything from movies to food delivery to pet care on the table, retailers have plenty of offerings on gift card discounts.
As we head into Cyber Weekend, you shouldn't expect Black Friday deals to stick around. If you see a gift card deal you like before, purchasing sooner rather than later is a good move. And if you're interested in more of the best Black Friday deals, you can follow Mashable's live coverage.

Are you still feeling full from your Thanksgiving meal? Yeah, us too. Thankfully, Black Friday deals are coming in hot. All the major retailers have launched their Black Friday sales events, and we're seeing record-low prices across the board on some of the best gifts like Kindles, noise-cancelling headphones, and Apple devices.
If you've been hoping to snag an Apple Watch for yourself or give one to someone truly special, then check out the year's best Black Friday Apple Watch deals. While we have Cyber Monday on the horizon, we're not expecting to see further price drops on these Apple smartwatches. As of this writing, the trifecta of new Apple Watches — the SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3 — is on sale. All of these watches have been tested (and approved) by Mashable's tech experts.
To help you choose the right Apple smartwatch, we've scouted out the lowest prices on every Apple Watch model for Black Friday 2025, and you can save up to $200 on these popular gadgets.
The Apple Watch Series 11 is on sale for $339 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's a full $60 off and the lowest-ever price for this model. In our review of the Apple Watch Series 11, Stan Schroeder said it "isn't all that different from last year's model, but it has a significantly longer battery life, and that's a huge deal."
We loved the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Our reviewer even wore it during the New York City marathon, and it more than proved its worth. It features a large Always-On OLED Retina display with up to 3000 nits of brightness, not to mention an epic battery life, satellite connectivity for emergencies, and a full suite of health, stress, and sleep tracking metrics.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is also a solid model (and also on sale), though select colors are selling out fast this Black Friday.
If you're in the market for a new Apple Watch but don't want to spend big money, the 2nd-generation Apple Watch SE (GPS, 40mm) just got a price cut at Walmart, where it's available for $129 for a limited time only.
Apple has moved on to the Apple Watch SE 3 (which is also on sale), but that means you can snag great discounts on the previous model, and today is a solid case in point. But the older model is still great, offering tons of Apple Watch essentials like sleep tracking, fitness metrics, fall detection, and emergency SOS. Since this model is on sale for only $129, it could be a great gifting option or perfect for those new to the wonderful world of smartwatches.

Everything to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025: Official dates, best deals live still, and Prime perksHere's everything you need to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025, including when the sale starts and the latest Thanksgiving deals.
Black Friday season is in full swing and Amazon is already showing off with epic deals. If the influx of deals in your inbox is giving you hives, we're breaking down all of the details of Amazon's sale for you below — from when the sale starts and ends to what deals are actually worth adding to your cart.
Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has morphed into a full-blown holiday shopping season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we're not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive.
Unlike its major competitors — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target — Amazon doesn't have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. Amazon typically has the best prices of the bunch, and sometimes it will undercut its rivals by pennies or dollars, as if taunting them. Again, we're not complaining, because nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.
So, here's everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best Amazon deals already live.
The mega-retailer's Black Friday sale kicked off early on Thursday, Nov. 20 and will run through the end of the day Friday, Nov. 28. But most of Amazon's Black Friday deals last through Monday — by name, they'll just be called Cyber Monday deals starting Saturday, Nov. 29. (Yes, Amazon does do Cyber Monday as well.) The official Amazon Cyber Monday sale runs through Monday, Dec. 1, which is when you can consider Amazon's Black Friday sale to be over.
Our shopping experts are unanimous — Black Friday is the best time to shop. If you're holding out for a last-minute price drop on Cyber Monday, don't hold your breath. Amazon does hold back a handful of deals for Cyber Monday (Cyber Week, really), but the biggest savings from the most popular brands will be available Friday. In fact, some products may go up in price or sell out while you're still biding your time.
The verdict: Prices are usually lowest on Black Friday itself, though most deals will linger through Cyber Monday.
Amazon doesn't release a traditional Black Friday ad like its competitors. Instead, it announces its plans for Black Friday in the form of a press release — and then proceeds to drop some of the best deals of the season when the time comes.
Officially, these are the categories Amazon highlighted in its press release, but it doesn't even include some of the top deals we've seen thus far (read on to shop those). Regardless, here's what Amazon's ad highlights include for its Black Friday sale:
Up to 55% off select home products from Shark and kitchen appliances from Ninja
Up to 50% off Amazon devices like the Echo Dot Max, Fire TV Stick lineup, Fire tablets, and Kindles
Up to 50% off electronics from JBL and Canon
Up to 45% off Bose audio
Up to 40% off kitchen items from Vitamix, Staub, Nespresso, and more
Up to 40% on select floorcare from Bissell and iRobot
Up to 40% off home entertainment from Hisense, TCL, and LG
Up to 40% on toys from Melissa & Doug, Little Tykes, Play-Doh, and Nerf
Up to 35% on select Samsung and Google products
Up to 80% off Kindle books and up to 65% off physical books
Amazon's Black Friday event is always packed with deals that range from today's best tech to kitchen appliances to toys all the kids want under the tree this year. This year is no different — we're already seeing record-low prices, beating or at least matching previous lows that we usually see during Prime Day events. We've rounded up some of the best deals we've seen at Amazon for Black Friday 2025 below, but be sure to follow along with our shopping team's full coverage for a wider range of products.
Still looking for more deals? We have a much bigger running list of the best Black Friday deals at Amazon, broken down by categories like Apple products, headphones, TVs, kitchen gadgets, beauty tech, and more. If you're stumped on a good gift idea, you'll find one in there.
While some deals will be available to everyone, the best Amazon Black Friday deals are always Prime exclusives. So, if you've somehow resisted and avoided signing up for Amazon Prime until now, then you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial that will take you through the holiday shopping season. After the trial ends, you'll be charged $14.99 per month. You can also sign up for Prime Access-only plans, which gives you benefits like free shipping and returns, but no extra perks like Prime Video access.
Prime members get perks such as:
Exclusive Black Friday deals
Access to Prime Video
Amazon Music
Free Grubhub+
Free delivery and returns
Just about every deal probably looks great upon first glance, but it's wise to do a few extra seconds of research, especially if it's a pricier investment. To confirm you're actually getting a good deal, head to camelcamelcamel to check on a product's price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker and you'll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we've also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP, which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers. The Mashable shopping team uses camelcamelcamel daily throughout the entire year.
Everything to know about Target Black Friday 2025: Hours, best deals still live, ad highlightsHere's everything you need to know about Target's Black Friday sale, including when the sale starts and ends, what time stores close, and the best deals to shop.
Everyone has a retailer they're loyal to, and often it depends on what's closest to home. If Target happens to be your retailer of choice, then we've got some great news about their Black Friday sale. This year, Target's Black Friday sale kicked off early, bringing major discounts on Apple AirPods and TCL's dupe of The Frame.
Don't hold off too long on shopping — Target's Black Friday sale wraps up on Saturday, Nov. 29. While you can still shop the retailer's Cyber Monday sale online the days following, the in-store Black Friday shopping experience will wind down on Saturday. Here's everything you need to know about Target's Black Friday sale including its opening and closing hours, early access info, and the best deals to shop now.
This year, Black Friday takes place on Friday, Nov. 28, but Target's sale started long before that. Target's Black Friday sale officially runs from Sunday, Nov. 23 to Saturday, Nov. 29. However, Target will drop even more deals Nov. 27-29. After Black Friday wraps up, Cyber Monday starts on Sunday, Nov. 30 and runs through Monday, Dec. 1.
Like Walmart, Target is offering early access for its Target Circle 360 members. This gives members early access to select deals this shopping season. Here's a glimpse of what deals Target Circle 360 members get to shop before everyone else:
Up to 50% off toys including brands like Jurassic World, Squishmallows and FAO Schwarz
Up to 50% off sleepwear for all
40% off select Lego sets
40% off Wondershop holiday décor
40% off shoes and slippers for all
40% off beauty sets
40% off sweaters for all
40% off outerwear and cold weather accessories
Up to 40% off men's & women's clothing from brands including Cupshe, Land's End, Coofandy and more
Target Circle 360 is the retailer's paid membership program, unlike it's free Circle membership. Target Circle 360 charges $99 annually or $10.99 a month. Discounts on Circle 360 are available to Circle credit card holders, college students, and government assistance recipients, providing 50% off annual memberships.
Target Circle 360 membership gets you same-day delivery, free shipping, monthly freebies, early access to sales, and an extra 30 days on the return window.
Target brought back the in-person shopping experience this Black Friday. All Target stores closed on Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) and reopened today. On Friday, Nov. 28, Target stores opened at 6 a.m. local time and will close at their regular time (typically 10 p.m.). It's best to check your local store's hours ahead of time.
Target made waking at the crack of dawn to shop worthwhile this year, as the first 100 guests in line on Black Friday received a limited-edition iridescent tote filled with giveaways. Among those 100 totes, 10 lucky shoppers got an extra surprise inside, ranging in value from $99 to $350. Surprise gifts include Target Circle 360 membership, $100 Target GiftCard, Laifen Hair Dryer, Ninja Slushie machine or Beats Solo 4 headphones.
Additionally, for stores with Starbucks Cafés inside, customers can enjoy a sample of the new Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate.
Target's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Sunday, Nov. 23, meaning you could start shopping deals before the big day arrived. Now that Black Friday proper is finally here, we've rounded up the best deals you can shop at Target.

Target's official Black Friday sale is now in full swing. While the retailer has been running deals since early November, today is when we see the biggest price drops across the site, with many items chilling at their deepest discount yet.
We've been tracking Target Black Friday 2025 all month, and the key shopping tip remains the same: If you see a high-ticket item at a good price, don't wait to buy it. We've already witnessed several early steals bump back to full price, and many high-demand items are selling out now that we're in the final stretch. This is a testament to how sought-after so many of these Target deals are.
You'll find savings near 50% off (sometimes more!) on all your favorite brands, including Bose, Samsung, Garmin, Keurig, Apple, and TCL. The retailer has dropped its final wave of deals today, and they will run through Cyber Weekend (ending Nov. 29), with Target Circle 360 members getting special early access to select deals.
If you're eager to get your Christmas shopping done early, here are the best Black Friday deals live at Target right now. Want more options? We're live tracking all of the best Black Friday deals across the internet from Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and more.
Sony's newest flagship headphones have dropped below $400 for Black Friday, making them the same price as the older XM5 pair when they're at full price. Compared to the XM5, the XM6 have better audio quality and support for LDAC high-resolution audio, plus the impeccable active noise cancellation that we always expect from Sony. The new pair can also fold up, making them significantly easier to take on the go or pack in a bag.
Read our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones.
When you think of Black Friday, you think of folks busting down doors and elbowing each other en route to the TV section. This QLED TV is definitely worth a brawl, but maybe just order it online instead. This 55-inch TCL QLED TV is easily one of the cheapest QLEDs of its size you'll see this Black Friday, and it will be noticeably brighter than your current regular LED TV — especially when watching sports in the daylight.
Target's best tablet deal is on one of Amazon's beloved Fire tablets. You can snag the 10-inch Fire HD for $69.99 — with that massive 50% discount, you could buy three Fire tablets for less than the price of this season's cheapest iPad deal.
Our favorite Bluetooth speaker is the JBL Charge 6. This portable, phone-charging speaker offers big, powerful, and portable sound. It has long battery life, impressive clarity, and can even be paired with other JBL speakers with Auracast. Our testers have also found that JBL speakers offer sound just as good, and often much better, than more expensive speakers from brands like Sonos and Bose.
Getting ready for a marathon? If you want to maximize your training, then a smartwatch or fitness tracker can help you out. Garmin makes some of our favorite devices if you want a smartwatch and fitness tracker in one, working with both Android and Apple devices. For $149.99, the Venu Sq 2 packs a punch.
Air fryers have earned their place as a kitchen essential in recent years. They're less of a hassle than the oven and get food hot and crispy fast. The PowerXL Vortex Pro Air Fryer has an 8.4-quart basket and comes with nine presets on an LED touchscreen. It first went on sale at Target for $59.99 the week before Black Friday, and has dropped an extra $10 to bring the total savings to almost 60% off.
We're taking any PS5 deal we find this week — who knows how long this coveted console will even be in stock? The PS5 Digital Slim is on sale for $399.99 at Target, matching the $100 discount at Walmart and Best Buy. Opting for the digital game version over the disc version saves you $50.
It wouldn't be the holiday gifting season without deals on the year's most hyped toys. Target's best toy deals include up to 50% off board games and puzzles, remote control toys, playsets and dollhouses, and Disney toys, plus BOGO 50% off Marvel, Our Generation, Hot Wheels, and more.
Target also has an excellent selection of Legos on sale for kids and adults alike. Save up to 30% on Lego sets, including the Target exclusive Lego Botanicals Mini Orchid and Lucky Bamboo duo set, x invisible hand, and Lego advent calendars.
Not sure what to get a certain person this year? Trust us — in this economy, they'll appreciate a gift card to use on whatever they want over an item that's a complete guess. Target is offering 15% off select gifts from merchants like Uber Eats, Xbox, and Red Robin, as well as 20% off Fandango and GolfNow gift cards. If you buy a $100 Apple or Cheesecake Factory gift card, you'll get a $15 Target gift card for free.

No — Walmart won't price-match other retailers' Black Friday deals, and it doesn't offer retroactive price adjustments. However, if something you bought there recently gets cheaper later on during its Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, you can always just return it and rebuy it. Under Walmart's extended holiday return policy, most items purchased in stores or online from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 are returnable until Jan. 31, 2026.
Paid Walmart+ members got to shop the retailer's Black Friday sale five hours before everyone else, and they'll get the same opportunity ahead of its Cyber Monday sale. The deals will open to Walmart+ members in early access at 7 p.m. ET on Nov. 30.
If you haven't joined the Walmart+ program yet, Walmart has a promotion going on for new members. One-year subscriptions are just $49 (or 50% off) through Tuesday, Dec. 2. A Walmart+ membership comes with tons of other perks besides early access to its biggest sales, including free delivery, free access to either Paramount+ or Peacock, and gas discounts.

Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2).
The Bose QC Ultra headphones and earbuds have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. The new second-generation versions are out, and we love them even more than the original flavor. However, while the new headphones are pricey (even when they're on sale), the new Bose earbuds have been marked down to $216, which is a lot more reasonable. These earbuds are supremely comfortable and feature elite active noise cancellation

"Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can get 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for only $2.99 per month. That's just $35.88 total for the year. Since the Warner Bros.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means it uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $229.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $249.99 at Walmart. $20 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)
SharkNinja also showed up to the Black Friday party by offering really excellent free extras. Buying the Ninja Slushi directly from Ninja for $269.99 will give you two margarita cups and a travel tote with a combined total value of $99.
SharkNinja's incredibly generous Black Friday sale strikes again: Not only is the Shark Glam (a rare multistyler and hair straightener that works on dry or wet hair without frying it) on sale for $100 off its usual price, but you'll also get a free $129 Shark NeverChange Air Purifier compact with your purchase. While most air purifiers require annoying recurring filter changes every few months, the NeverChange's filter lasts up to five years.

You can find Brooklinen's Super-Plush Turkish cotton bath towel bundle for just $107, saving you 30% off. All prices are as marked, so no discount code is needed. And if you're wondering if the famous Super-Plush towels and robes are as soft and fluffy as they appear, we can verify first-hand that they are.
Some of the year's best Black Friday deals are in the power station category, where you'll find discounts of 56% or more. And for so many reasons, this Anker Solix power station is our top pick for holiday shoppers. In our review, Mashable contributor Lauren Allain wrote that the "Anker Solix C1000 portable power station nails performance, design, and versatility," awarding it a Mashable Choice Award. And now that it's at a record-low price at Amazon, it's never been easier to recommend.
Whether you're shopping for outdoor deals to replenish your own gear or get a gift for the outdoorsman in your life, the best deal we've spotted is on the Coleman Skydome tent. This four-person tent is weatherproof, designed to block out wind and rain, and keep you dry. It's down to $91.99 ahead of Black Friday, saving you $58 for 39% off its list price of $149.99.
"Microsoft's current flagship laptop is a well-rounded machine with a virtually unrivaled 23-hour battery life, speedy everyday performance, amazing build quality, and an elegant, lightweight design. The 13.8-inch model with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU is my favorite Windows laptop for most people, and the silver model with my ideal daily driver setup (16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage) is down to an all-time low of $869.99 for Black Friday 2025." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter
It's no surprise that some of the best Black Friday deals of 2025 come from Amazon, which officially kicked off its sale on Nov. 20. The Everything store is hosting record sales on Amazon devices like Kindles and Fire TVs, but also some of our favorite products from brands like DJI, Ninja, Yeti, and Samsung. Amazon is also a great place to stock up on Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, and deals under $25.
As in years past, Walmart+ members get access to the best Black Friday deals, and you can either sign up for a free trial or get 50% off a membership. With the start of its official Black Friday sales event on Nov. 25, the original Everything Store has even more great deals on video games, kitchen gadgets, Legos, and even Dyson vacuums than we saw leading up to the sale.
Best Buy has an interesting Black Friday system: It's been dropping new doorbusters every single Friday since Halloween. Some of those deals have stuck around, and some are fleeting. For inspiration, you can check out the Best Buy Black Friday ad scan, but we've also collected the best Best Buy deals of the moment.

Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy get a lot of attention for their annual Black Friday sales, but we're here to put some respect on the Home Depot's name. Just like last year, the Home Depot is giving away free cordless tools with eligible purchases in an epic BOGO promotion. As part of this buy-one-get-one sale, you can pick up a cordless drill, an extra battery and charger pack, a cordless leaf blower, a circular saw, and tons more tools with your purchase. The extra tool is absolutely free with an eligible purchase.
All you have to do is pick out a qualifying "main item" and the free tool of your choice will be included in your order. A ton of top-rated Ryobi, DeWalt, and Milwaukee products are available as freebies in this promotion. Here's an example of how it works: Add an item like the Milwaukee Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit to your cart, and then you'll be able to select a free gift with purchase.

Black Friday deals on cordless tools are just as valuable to the average non-handy person as they are to DIY experts. Just imagine being able to mount your new TV on the wall without begging a friend with a drill to come over. Or being able to assemble a new piece of furniture with an Allen wrench drill bit instead of twisting the entire thing by hand.
Besides the Home Depot's BOGO sale, we've found a ton more Black Friday deals on cordless power tools at Amazon, Lowe's, and Best Buy.
This is a classic Black Friday deal that DIY-ers have counted on for years. Even if you're not a DIY expert, a cordless drill can make you feel like one. From assembling furniture to hanging up mirrors or mounting TVs, a cordless drill like this is an essential if you own your own home.

It's been a tough year to be a streaming binge-watcher. Nearly every major streamer got more expensive in 2025, including Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. So, needless to say, we were extra excited about this year's selection of Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, right? The good news is that even with Black Friday itself done and dusted, the deals are still available as we head into Cyber Monday.
The Black Friday sale event is well known as the best time to sign up for streaming services, thanks to serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. This year has been no different. If you're looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, there's still time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.
Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu have all thrown their hats in the ring with discounts, as have plenty of other streamers via Prime Video add-ons. So you can start weighing all of your streaming options for the season. Plus, you still have time to sign up. Most of these offers will be live through Dec. 1.
One thing to note: Most Black Friday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in you haven't been a subscriber in at least a month or so). If you qualify, you can lock in some serious savings on streaming apps.
Check out all the best Black Friday streaming deals still live.
In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like The Last of Us, The Pitt, and IT: Welcome to Derry), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.
Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video or Hulu add-on.
While we're pretty disappointed that Hulu didn't resurrect its 99 cents deal for 2025, this bundle deal almost makes up for it. Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score both Disney+ and Hulu with ads for just $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month for both, that's $8 per month in savings or $96 total. We saw the same bundle drop to only $2.99 during Black Friday 2024, but both streamers raised their prices this year, so the Black Friday deal has been appropriately adjusted for inflation. And considering each streamer is $11.99 per month on its own, this is an excellent deal. It's also a good way to lock in a solid price for the year since Disney and Hulu will eventually be merged into a single app — with a higher price tag, no doubt. And hey, maybe we'll still be surprised with the 99-cent Hulu Black Friday deal.
Apple TV+, just like several other streamers, raised its subscription cost by 30 percent a few months back, from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year, is much appreciated. You can take advantage of this deal directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber.
Apple TV+ features a virtually all-original lineup filled with Emmy-winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. TL;DR: You'll get more than your money's worth with this Black Friday deal.
Sling's Day Pass is a solid way to tune into live sports, events, and shows without having to splurge on a full subscription. Sometimes you just want to watch a single game and be on your way. It's usually $4.99 for a day, but for Black Friday, Sling is offering its Orange Day Pass for only $1 through Dec. 1 at 3 a.m. ET. The Orange package includes ESPN and all its affiliates, TNT, TBS, AMC, IFC, and more. That means you'll be able to tune into live college football rivalry games on ESPN this weekend — like Georgia Tech vs. Georgia on Friday and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee and Alabama vs. Auburn on Saturday — for just a buck.
It's not uncommon to see Amazon offering its music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited, for free during shopping events (this year, you can get three free months). It is, however, quite rare for Spotify to offer its Premium service for free. Through Dec. 31, new subscribers can score four free months of Spotify Premium, no questions asked. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50 total.
With a Premium account, you can enjoy ad-free listening, collaborate with friends in real time, download music for offline listening, get full control over your music and playlists, unlock 15 hours per month of audiobook time, and finally enjoy lossless audio. You'll also gain access to the famous Wrapped stats and new weekly listening stats.
If you already have a Walmart+ membership, or if you were considering signing up to take advantage of the Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale, then you'll unlock free access to either Peacock or Paramount+ for one year. Even better, Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off for Black Friday, so you'll pay just $49 for 12 months of access. On top of these streaming deals, you'll also get perks like free grocery and pharmacy delivery. If you're not interested in a Walmart+ membership, we're still holding out for the standalone Peacock Black Friday deal, but you can already get the Paramount+ Black Friday deal on its own.
There are a lot of Amazon Fire TV Sticks on sale this Black Friday but the better savings are on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. Roku beats Amazon's competing model by $0.99, but it's also just a better device. When we put the Amazon Fire TV Stick head-to-head with the Roku, the Roku was the clear winner for its easy navigation, brilliant picture quality, and buffer-free streaming. Grab a Roku Streaming Stick Plus for just $19, saving you 52% off this Black Friday.

Im a tech editor and Id recommend these 63 Black Friday tech deals to friends and familyAs a tech editor, I can guide you to the best Black Friday tech deals. Save $330 on Dyson vacuums, $250 on MacBook Air laptops, and up to 55% on Amazon devices.
As Mashable's tech editor, I get early access to a lot of really cool products. I also have a pretty deep knowledge of the coolest new gadgets of 2025, from the latest virtual reality tech to everyday fitness trackers and new Apple laptops. I've also been covering Black Friday sales since 2019, so I know what discounts to expect and which deals you can safely skip.
In this guide, you'll find all the best Black Friday tech deals I'd actually recommend to my friends and family. Before recommending an LG OLED TV or an Anker power station, I'll first make sure that the price is actually a good deal. Online retailers are notorious for exaggerating their sales, but I've done the work for you to find the biggest genuine discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and beyond.
Keep checking back as I add new discounts on the season's best new gadgets, toys, wearables, and tech gifts. I've personally tested many of the products in this guide, while others have been tested by other Mashable reporters. If you see a deal in this story, it's because I'd truly recommend that product — and at that price — to my loved ones.
Our favorite noise-cancelling wireless earbuds have been on sale since Amazon started its Black Friday sale earlier this week, but they got a surprise $30 price drop the morning of Black Friday. You can now buy the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $216, a new record price and a discount of 28%, at both Amazon and Best Buy.
Seriously, we love these earbuds. The active noise cancellation works so well that I wear them while I work, even when I'm not listening to music. Plus, they really are the most comfortable wireless buds we've ever tried.
I literally collect rare books, so when I tell you I'm a book nerd, you can believe me. And this is the Kindle that stores my digital library — the Kindle Paperwhite. For Black Friday, it's on sale for $124.99, but I actually recommend paying a little more for the version without lockscreen ads. That way, you'll see gorgeous black-and-white photos on the lockscreen instead of ads for romantasy books I'll never read.
Apple just launched the new version of its starter smartwatch in September, and it's already earned a spot in my guide to the best smartwatches of the year. The truth is, while we also loved the longer-lasting Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra Watch 3, the new SE 3 is the right pick for the vast majority of people. This is a true lifestyle smartwatch that also does double duty as a fitness and sleep tracker. Plus, it even has an always-on Retina OLED display. You can pick up this affordable Apple smartwatch for $199.99 at Amazon, a 20% discount.
Camp Snap is one of our favorite finds of the year. These trendy cameras feature old-school designs and keep you in the moment while you're making memories. You can buy these stylish point-and-shoot digital cameras starting at just $55 for Black Friday, and they make great gifts for teens.
Alexa informed me that New York City faces its first freeze warning of the season, and now I'm mad at her. However, I do have something to keep the chill away. I've been using and recommending these cute electric hand warmers for years, and they're one of my favorite undiscovered gems at Amazon. They're one of my go-to stocking stuffers, and they'll keep your hands toasty and warm all winter long. If you're looking for tech deals under $25, this is my personal recommendation.
Mashable has an ongoing series called "In My Bag," where we interview creators, vloggers, and social media stars about their favorite gadgets and gear. The Octobuddy has been a frequent call-out, and it's an ingenious little grip that lets you stick your phone securely to mirrors and other hard surfaces.
Have you heard about the upcoming ban on DJI drones? If not, then we have very bad news: DJI drones are almost certainly set to be banned in the U.S. by year's end, which means this is your last chance to buy one. So long as you're already flying, the potential ban shouldn't affect you, a DJI representative recently told me. Unfortunately, you can only buy these drones from third-party sellers at retailers like Amazon, but we think the risk is worth the reward in this case.
Amazon devices are up to 55% off for Black Friday, including the best Alexa smart speakers. The Echo Spot is a smart speaker that doubles as an alarm clock, and it's a favorite of ours. However, Amazon just refreshed its Echo line to make way for Alexa+, its new AI version of Alexa. I was at the launch event where Amazon debuted the Echo Dot Max, a smarter smart speaker with bigger sound and a fun Death Star-like design.
I've said it before: Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, The Frame, is the best TV in the world. This super-thin TV doubles as an art gallery for your living room, adding to your home's decor instead of distracting from it. The 2025 model of The Frame has a fancy new AI processor, as well as a magic-like matte, anti-glare display. While you can catch this TV on sale at any retailer you like, Amazon currently has the best price.
We think the M4 MacBook Pro is the best MacBook for most people, and this is a fantastic price for a 2025 model Apple laptop. Powered by M4 silicon, it's also lightning fast. The M4 chip is faster than anything you'll find in the Windows world, which means this laptop is faster and more efficient than the competition. Its $749 price at Amazon is a record discount, and we're not expecting the price to drop any lower (though Apple could surprise us).
Amazon isn't our go-to destination for laptops, but for Black Friday, they have a great deal on a popular Copilot+ PC. This Acer Aspire 16 AI Copilot+ PC has never been priced below $500 before now, and you can save 36% on the retail price at Amazon. Unlike most laptops at Amazon, this PC isn't sold by a sketchy third-party seller — it's sold and shipped by Amazon itself. It also has very impressive specs for an under-$500 laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a powerful Snapdragon X chip.
The Toniebox is a popular gadget for young kids. Parents love it because it's engaging but doesn't have a screen, and kids love it because it's interactive, talks to them, and tells cool stories. I got this for my niece last Christmas, and I'm officially the favorite uncle. Am I her only uncle? Doesn't matter.
If your favorite kiddos already have a Toniebox, you can get five Tonies for the price of four during Black Friday. My recommendation? The Miss Rachel and Llama Llama Tonies.
We recently named the Beats Pill the best portable Bluetooth speaker to buy on sale. And, what do you know, it's on sale. You can pick up this powerful water-resistant speaker for just $79 at Amazon. Released in 2024 as part of a collaboration with Kim Kardashian (don't let that stop you from scoring a great deal), it plays well with Android and iOS devices.
If you're a content creator or vlogger, then you've probably heard of DJI's famous pocket mics, currently 45% off at Amazon. These wireless mics replace the awkward wired lavaliers of the past, and they clip on to your shirt or collar magnetically. There's a reason you can spot these microphones all over TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. I've personally tested these microphones, and they've been a huge help to the Mashable video team at live events.
Happy Black Friday, because the Apple AirTags just dropped in price to $62.99, the lowest-ever price for these popular trackers. Look, the best Black Friday deals aren't always super exciting, but this is your chance to stock up on products you need. Using ultra-wideband technology and Apple's Find My network, there's no better way to track lost items.
Anker PowerBanks are the ideal stocking stuffer, and not just because they start at $15 and fit perfectly in a stocking. They're also extraordinarily useful, especially for folks with older phones that are constantly dying.
Eufy may not have quite the name recognition as iRobot in the vacuum space, but you'll find Eufy robot vacuums all over Mashable shopping guides. If you're looking for a premium robot vacuum and mop combo, try the Eufy S1 Pro, which has a roller mop, self-cleaning, self-drying, and a 50% discount. Our vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, has also been impressed by Eufy's innovation when it comes to cleaning features past the robot vacuum itself. The Eufy E28 is a powerful roller mop robot vacuum with 20,000 Pa suction power that comes with a portable carpet cleaner. Leah says it fully removed stains from a rug and a couch, making it one of the best vacuums for pet owners.
As much as I love Samsung's The Frame, I know not everyone can afford to drop $1,000 on a new TV. Fortunately, you can count on Black Friday doorbuster deals if you need a TV on the cheap. Over at Amazon, grab smart TVs starting at just $99. Head to Best Buy to find the most budget-friendly QLED TV deals.
If a new smart TV isn't in your budget this year, that doesn't mean you have to be locked out of the latest streaming apps. Access everything from Amazon's Prime Video to Apple TV and Spotify using this affordable streaming stick from Roku. You'll still have to pay for all those apps, but it's still a lot cheaper than buying a new TV.
Bose recently released a new version of its flagship noise-canceling headphones, and in our review, we said the new model is nearly identical to the original. However, the new version will set you back $449, which is a big ask in this economy. Meanwhile, the Gen 1 version on sale for $298 is still one of the best, most comfortable headphones in the world. While it's possible these headphones might get a bigger price drop come Nov. 28, don't count on it. I love these headphones, and this is easily one of the best Prime Day tech deals of the year so far.
Editor's note: These headphones are almost sold out!
This is the ultimate splurge this holiday season — Samsung's new AR/VR headset, the Galaxy XR. It's Samsung's answer to the Apple Vision Pro, and it's significantly more affordable, though still extremely pricey. If you buy the device during the holiday shopping season, Samsung will throw in $1,140 worth of freebies, including a year of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, and NBA League Pass. You'll also get access to exclusive XR experiences and more premium apps. This offer ends Dec. 31.
Over the summer, it was almost impossible to find the new Nintendo Switch 2 console in stock. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. While we haven't found any official discounts on the Switch 2 console yet, you can find some Switch 2 bundles in stock at Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop. We expect this handheld to top many Christmas gift wishlists this year, so grab these while you can.
Amazon always discounts its devices for big sales, and right now you can grab the popular Blink Mini 2 security camera for just $17.99, a 55% discount. We don't expect this product to get any cheaper come Thanksgiving, so go ahead and stock up and protect your home.
I've tested several Jackery Explorer power stations over the years, and I've never had a bad experience. The brand helped popularize this product category in the United States, and it's easy to see why. They make rugged power stations that are easy to use, have a variety of ports, and connect easily to your devices (not to mention solar panels, if you have them). If you live in fear of the power going out — or just want to charge your phone during a camping trip or tailgate — these devices are a must-have.
Just like Bose, Sony also released a sequel to its flagship headphones this year. The new XM6 headphones are elite, truly. But having tested them against the previous-gen XM5 model, I'm strongly recommending you buy the XM5s now that they're finally back on sale. Here's the truth: They're more alike than different. And right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $248, a record-low price. Compare that to the $428 price tag on the new model, and your choice is simple.
The new Google Pixel smartwatch is my favorite Android smartwatch of the year, and in our review, we called it a true runner's smartwatch. And to prove it, one of our reporters recently trained and ran a marathon while using it. So, when I say it's a good smartwatch for running, you can really believe me. For Black Friday, this smartwatch got its first-ever discount.
Even as other sites recommended Best Buy's deal on the LG C5 OLED TV, I've been holding out for a proper price drop. Best Buy's sale price has been available at Amazon since October. Well, patience is a virtue, because as the sun rises on Black Friday, the LG 65-inch C5 Series OLED EVO 4K Smart TV has finally gotten a real price drop at Amazon. The C Series is probably the most award-winning line of TVs in the world, and every year it tops lists of the best TVs.
This TV may only be available from third-party sellers in your region, so check the seller's reviews on Amazon before adding it to your cart. You can also pick up this TV at LG and Best Buy, though Amazon has the better price by far.
If you want to buy a robot vacuum during Prime Day, then we recommend steering clear of Roomba. I've already recommended Eufy's popular budget and mid-range vacuums, but if you're looking for the best of the best, our favorite robot vacuum of the year is currently on sale. Our resident robot vacuum tester has tested so many robot vacuums, and this year, none outperformed the Roborock Saros 10R, a robot vacuum and mop combo. With sophisticated mapping, mopping, self-cleaning, and obstacle avoidance, it does it all. It can even act as a pet camera.
As part of its Black Friday sale, Walmart has tons of video games on sale. You can score new titles like Madden NFL 26 and Borderlands 4, or play back old favorites like Grand Theft Auto V.
If only the Apple Vision Pro cost $249.99. Alas, we don't live in that world. However, you can buy a Meta Quest 3S VR Headset bundle for that very reasonable price. With 128GB of storage and instant access to over 40 games, this solid Black Friday VR deal lets you discover an entirely new type of gaming. Though, personally, I prefer to use VR for watching 3D movies and other types of VR video content.
I've been waiting patiently for gaming laptop deals to pop off for Black Friday, and they finally did. The Lenovo LOQ 15 has gone on sale for as little as $864.49 in the past, but it's currently on sale for $799.99. That's a new all-time low and a great price on this gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics. This is the gaming laptop you'll find on my own desk right now, and it's a good entry-level model.
We're big fans of Oura smart rings at Mashable, and the brand's Black Friday sale officially started, knocking $100 off its Oura Ring 4. Our reviewer praised Oura for its great balance of health, fitness, and sleep tracking metrics, and there's a reason these smart rings are beloved by many pro athletes.
We waited so patiently for the Apple AirPods 4 to finally drop in price, and the deal is even better than we expected. The latest AirPods are now on sale for $69, their lowest price ever.
This is the year we fell for British brand Nothing. In our review of the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro, we said that Nothing could be charging three or four times as much for this AMOLED smartwatch. For Black Friday, this watch finally dropped down to $79 just as we hoped. This smartwatch has an incredible display and excels as a fitness and sleep tracker, but it really puts the competition to shame when it comes to battery life.
We love Kindles here at Mashable, and we've tested them all. I already told you my personal favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, but the truth is all of Amazon's e-readers are fantastic. For bargain hunters, the best deals on Kindles are the basic Kindle and the Kindle Colorsoft. Amazon's basic Kindle is a perfectly pocket-sized device that reached its lowest price ever of $79.99, while the Kindle Colorsoft got an astounding price cut down to $169.99, the first time the device has ever dipped under $200.
As much as we hype up Kindles, you can't forget there are other e-readers out there. The only brand that can truly compete is Kobo, which makes a delightful collection of color e-readers. Ahead of Black Friday, the only Kobo on sale is the Libra Colour, which is our favorite color e-reader. It's down to $199.99, back down to the low price it was during Black Friday 2024.
To be honest, the Black Friday deals on iPads have been pretty weak this year. However, the model I recommend for most people is on sale, and at a record price.
The newest and best iPad is the iPad Pro with M5 chip, but the best Black Friday iPad deal is on the Apple iPad Air with M3 chip. I've tested both models, and the iPad Air is the right choice for 99% of shoppers. It's back to its lowest price ever of $449, making it an affordable yet powerful device. With the latest iPadOS, the iPad Air is closer to a laptop than ever, but still a fraction of the cost. This is another device I've personally tested and highly recommend, especially at this price.
While Oura might be the buzzier fitness tracker, Whoop still makes great trackers. Mashable's Christianna Silva just wore seven fitness trackers while training for the NYC marathon and determined that the Whoop MG was the best overall pick for marathon training. But even for the average Joe, it's a smart pickup, not to mention our favorite sleep tracker. During Black Friday, Whoop 5.0 and MG trackers are 17%, getting you up to $40 or $60 off.
PlayStation and PS5 console Black Friday deals are very popular this year, and while the prices aren't as low as I'd hoped, they are as low as I expected, given the ongoing tariff and price hikes we've seen in this sector. A lot of PS5 bundles are on sale right now, but I'd recommend the Fortnite bundles in particular, available now at Amazon.
According to my colleague Haley Henschel, our chief laptop tester, the Asus Zenbook is "an awesome MacBook Air alternative."
"The Zenbook A14 is an awesome MacBook Air alternative with a beauteous OLED display, a 22-hour battery life, and a lightweight but sturdy design. It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter
Frankly, if you buy an espresso machine at any time of year besides Prime Day or Black Friday, you're leaving hundreds of dollars on the table. This brushed stainless steel espresso machine from Breville gets a $200 price drop this time around, and it has everything you need to satisfy your caffeine fix. This is the lowest price we've seen on this high-tech kitchen appliance in years.
Have you heard of Flaus? It's at the top of my Xmas list this year and comes personally recommended by one of our shopping reporters. This electric flosser takes the pain and inconvenience out of flossing your teeth. For Black Friday, it now has an extremely gift-friendly price tag. Not only did this product appear on Shark Tank, but it was named one of Oprah's Favorite Things this year.
As a seasoned Black Friday expert, I always tell people to use this sale as a chance to stock up on boring but essential items. And that includes batteries, light bulbs, lens cleaners, etc. This won't be the most exciting addition to your shopping cart, but you'll be glad you have them.
TL;DR: Get Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 for Mac with lifetime access for just $49.97 (reg. $219) during this limited-time Black Friday sale.
When you think of gifts for the professionals in your life, the usual suspects tend to come up (e.g., office supplies and work clothes). But if you really want to surprise someone with something thoughtful and genuinely useful, Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 for Mac makes an unexpectedly smart choice.
This is the kind of gift that quietly changes how someone works every day.
Instead of another item that sits on a desk, you’re giving them a dependable productivity suite they’ll rely on for years — tailored for the Mac user who’s juggling big goals, busy schedules, or growing responsibilities.
Whether it’s a small business owner, freelancer, remote worker, recent grad, or ambitious studier, this lifetime license provides tools they’ll use constantly without ever worrying about subscriptions or renewals.

The real history behind HamnetChloé Zhao's film "Hamnet," like the Maggie O'Farrell book it's based upon by, is built on a thin layer of historical truth. Here's what little we know.
Few historical movies make you want to know the real story behind them more than Hamnet. And few areas of popular history have so few answers to offer as the biography of the 16th-century Shakespeare family that lies behind it.
The new film by acclaimed director Chloé Zhao is based on the 2020 novel by Maggie O'Farrell, also called Hamnet. O'Farrell and Zhao collaborated on the script, which is a largely faithful adaptation of the book.
Spoiler alert: This discusses the plot of Hamnet in detail, including the ending.
Both follow the Stratford life of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) his wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley), and their three kids. The family's bliss is ripped apart by Shakespeare's increasingly long absences in the London theaters, and the death of Shakespeare's only son Hamnet from the plague, age 11. In its tear-jerking final act, the tale suggests Shakespeare wrote Hamlet to grieve Hamnet.
So what's accurate, and what's artistic invention? As with Shakespeare's own history plays, the answer is: a light sprinkling from column A, and a hefty draught of column B.
Here's the first thing you need to know about Shakespeare and his immediate family: We barely know the first thing about Shakespeare and his immediate family. We have some written evidence, like baptisms, funerals, and the Shakespeare wedding; we have records of disputes over his coat of arms. But history's greatest playwright never, to our knowledge, wrote a word about himself or his kin.
This makes Shakespeare something of a blank canvas — and a lot of his fans have done a lot of painting on it over the centuries.
Some of that speculation is more grounded in educated guesses than others. In his award-winning book Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare (2004), Harvard historian Stephen Greenblatt makes a persuasive case that Shakespeare was deliberately obscuring himself because his family was secretly Catholic, at a time when Protestant fears of Catholic plots against Queen Elizabeth made that a very dangerous identity.
At the other end of the sensible scale is what scholars these days largely dismiss: the authorship controversy. This is the conspiracy theory, invented by aristocrats 300 years after his death, that Shakespeare, the son of a glove-maker in Stratford-upon-Avon, couldn't possibly have written all those great plays. Rather, it was Sir Francis Bacon or some other elite candidate working through Shakespeare, for some reason.
If that's the scale, then Hamnet is much closer to the Greenblatt end. The movie paints its picture within the bounds of reason and doesn't contradict the details we know. And it contains more than a few Easter eggs to keep Shakespeare nerds happy.
You may know Shakespeare's wife by the name Anne Hathaway (no relation to the modern actress). But you will also note that when the character is named in the movie, she's called Agnes. Which one is right?
The answer, so far as we can tell, is both.
In documents dated around her wedding, in November 1582, she's "Anne Hathwey." (This was an era with no fixed spellings for last names; just ask her husband on the form, "William Shagspere"). But in the will of her father, a yeoman farmer, she's listed as Agnes. Again on her tomb, she's Anne.
The portrayal of Anne/Agnes as a wild, pagan woman of the woods is O'Farrell's invention (sorry, WitchTok). But it's not unlikely that she had a thing or two to teach her future husband, thanks to one detail that goes unmentioned in the film: Anne/Agnes was 26 when they were wed, while Will Shakespeare was a mere 18.
Otherwise, the movie portrays the Hathaways well. You'll notice their actual cottage, still a tourist attraction, in the movie. It is accurate to suggest that the Hathaway family was fancier than the Shakespeares, who were in financial difficulty due to John Shakespeare's poor business decisions.
And yes, Anne/Agnes was pregnant at the time of the marriage; Susana, their first daughter, was born around six months later. As to how deliberate a decision this was, your guess is as good as an army of scholars.
The Shakespeares' second and third kids, fraternal twins Judith and Hamnet — probably named for neighbors — were baptised in February 1585. Their father was an in-demand London actor and playwright by the end of that decade. Hamnet was buried in August 1596, around the same time bubonic plague was making one of its periodic sweeps through England.
These are the bare details of Hamnet's life; all else is invention. We think Shakespeare was probably touring in Kent with a company of players at the time. We assume Shakespeare came home for the funeral — "Hamnet, filius William Shakespeare," the burial register says — but even that we don't know for sure.
In 16th-century England, more than one in three children died before the age of 10. It was a common occurrence, and it almost always happened at home. Shakespeare himself would have seen his sister die, age 7. But that doesn't mean Shakespeare wasn't distraught; many of his contemporary poets, like Ben Jonson, wrote grief-stricken poems on the death of their children.
We may not know the state of the Shakespeare marriage at this point. But the movie is on pretty firm ground suggesting that the playwright retreated to the playhouse more than before; this was, in fact, his most productive period.
"Whether in the wake of Hamnet's death Shakespeare was suicidal or serene," as historian Stephen Greenblatt puts it, "he threw himself into his work."
To believe the movie, however, you'd think Shakespeare wrote the play immediately after Hamnet's death. In fact, a lot of plays that followed were comedies, such as As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing. The closest he got to portraying parental grief was in King John, where a woman is driven to suicidal thoughts by the death of her son.
As for Hamlet? That came to Shakespeare about four years after Hamnet died. But like a lot of his work, it wasn't an original story; another play based on the legend of Hamlet, a Prince of Denmark who avenged his murdered father, had been performed in London when Shakespeare was an aspiring actor (and is now lost).
But why did Shakespeare make his Hamlet like that — a protagonist unlike any other before or since, teetering on the brink of madness, suicide, depression, and lost love? There's a question we'll keep pondering for many more centuries.
By highlighting a few lines of its father-son dialogue, and imagining Anne/Agnes seeing hir first play in this way, Hamnet offers one pretty convincing answer.
We don't know how much Shakespeare was an absent dad during his theater career, but there's one piece of evidence that he wanted to leave London and return to his family: He did come back, for good, in 1613.
Shakespeare died three years later, age 52, leaving his wife "the second best bed" in his will. Anne would outlive him by another seven years. Their daughter Susanna married a local merchant and had one daughter of her own, the last of the Shakespeare line. Judith also had kids, but all three died before her.
Much has been made of that "second-best bed" bit, but historians generally don't believe Shakespeare intended to insult his wife. The opposite is more likely: In a fancy Tudor-era house, the best bed was generally reserved for guests, so the second-best bed is likely the one the pair slept in.
And as long as we're painting things on the blank Shakespeare canvas, let's imagine Anne/Agnes smiling a secret smile when she heard about the last gift her late husband left her. It isn't evidence that she ever got over Hamnet, but it does suggest a life well lived.
The best Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones deals still live: Score Sony, Beats, and Bose for new lowsScore the best Black Friday deals on noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds. Save $152 on flagship Sony headphones and $83 on Bose's new QC Ultra earbuds.
As Mashable's tech editor, I've covered a lot of cool headphone launches this year. The long-awaited Sony XM6 headphones finally came out this year, and we also got new flagship headphones from Nothing, Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, and Beats. If you need a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the Black Friday season is the best possible time to buy. All of the headphones I mentioned are currently sitting at record prices — all of them.
However, you won't find all of them in this guide, as not every Black Friday headphones deal is worth shopping. I've gathered the biggest discounts on the noise-cancelling headphones I'd actually recommend buying, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for Christmas gifts for techies.
Some of the best Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones deals have already earned a spot in our guide to the top deals. From audiophile-worthy headphones from Bowers & Wilkins to the latest Bose wireless earbuds, you'll find the best of the best here.
And PS: Deals really aren't here to stay. Now that Black Friday moves towards Cyber Monday, we've noticed that AirPods are increasing in price. Walmart's deal on the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4 with ANC at Amazon have both increased in price, so act fast to secure these low prices.
Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.
I tested Sony's legendary XM5 headphones against the newer version, the XM6, as did Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard. And both of us found that they're far more alike than different. Unless you're a picky audiophile, I think most people should opt for the XM5 model while it's on sale, which is what Allard recommended in her comparison. These headphones have never been priced this low, and they still have all the features you really need: excellent audio quality, best-in-class active noise-cancellation, and an easy-to-use app to adjust EQ settings.

Are Amazons Cyber Monday prices better than Black Friday? Our shopping experts say the answer is clear.If you're debating on whether or not to wait for Cyber Monday deals at Amazon, our shopping experts who've covered Black Friday and Cyber Weekend for years have a piece of advice.
In 2025, Black Friday is a marathon, not a sprint. The only thing is, these days it can be hard to tell where exactly the finish line is.
Not too long ago, if you wanted to score Black Friday deals, you either had to head to the local Target at the crack of dawn or line up just after dinner leftovers had been packed away. Online shoppers bided their time until the Monday after the holiday, a day eventually dubbed Cyber Monday. It was chaos, but it was chaos with clearly defined parameters of time.
These days, Black Friday sales start as early as Halloween, lasting for weeks before the actual day happens, which raises a very real question: Is Cyber Monday still a thing? And for an online-only retailer like Amazon, where most folks do their online shopping, is it better to shop on Black Friday, or wait until Cyber Monday to score the best deals possible?
Here's what our shopping spidey-sense, based on many collective years of covering these sales, leads us to believe.
In our experience, Black Friday deals at Amazon tend to be better and more plentiful than Cyber Monday savings, or they tend to be on par. In the years we've worked this sale, very rarely have we seen additional price cuts or brand new deals cropping up for Cyber Monday. While Amazon does try to hold back a couple of deals for Cyber Monday, they're often quite lackluster, and rarely include the most popular products from brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Ninja, and Nintendo.
Now that the holiday shopping season begins so early, Black Friday has started to feel like the grand finale, with Cyber Monday being a sort of encore. This year, we've seen tons of products hit record-low prices in the days leading up to Black Friday, like $69 Apple AirPods 4 and the DJI Mini 4K drone for $60 off. If there is to be an additional price drop, it'll likely happen on Black Friday, and then either hold steady until Cyber Monday, or go back up in price. (If it doesn't sell out in that time, which often happens.)
Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino put it perfectly when she wrote, "Think of Cyber Monday as your last chance to shop deals, not your best chance."
Amazon's Cyber Monday sale also starts on Saturday, Nov. 29, and runs through Monday, Dec. 1, essentially making Amazon's sale one long Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend. With that, we anticipate deals gradually phasing out come Monday and Tuesday.
With the above in mind, we recommend grabbing a good deal on Black Friday. Popular items, like great Apple deals or Kindles, are especially likely to sell out or go back up in price. Mangino, who covers the e-reader beat year-round, said, "I suspect hot ticket items like Kindles won't get a Cyber Monday discount and go up to their standard prices."
If this a little stressful to hear, we get it. As reporters monitoring these sales day in and day out, we know that there's a lot of shopping fatigue and messaging about the urgency to buy deals as fast as possible this time of year (more than anyone should reasonably be subjected to, TBH!). While we're not necessarily recommending rushing to buy every amazing deal you spot, Black Friday does remain the best time of year to find really, really good deals. And that's taking into account those can't-miss "sale prices" that can be found year-round.
If you're feeling unsure about a deal you've added to your cart, we recommend 1) Checking out Mashable's Black Friday coverage, and 2) consulting a price tracker like camelcamelcamel, which can give you a full view of an item's price history, as well as any record-low prices it's hit before.

50+ of the best Black Friday TV deals still live: Samsung, LG, TCL, and Hisense at record lowsBest Buy and Amazon Black Friday TV deals go incredibly hard in 2025. There are a ton of cheap 65-inch QLEDs, plus affordable OLEDs.

It's officially the best time of year to buy a TV. And you don't even have to wake up at 2 a.m., ready to throw fists in a Walmart. There are so many record-low Black Friday TV deals still live across the internet now that all of the big TV destinations like Amazon and Best Buy have officially kicked off their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales.
We're live tracking the best Black Friday deals on TVs every day through Cyber Monday. Find our recommendations organized by retailer and size below, including a heads up if a highlighted model has already sold out at another retailer (in other words, grab it ASAP).
Psst: If you're not sure what to do with your old TV, you can recycle it at most Best Buy stores for free.
While this mini TV won't win any awards for its display, it has all the essentials you need in an extra TV. So, if you're looking for a TV for your bedroom, kitchen, or small apartment, consider this popular Amazon TV. It's hard to argue with a $99.99 price tag, which seems like a mistake in the era of inflation and tariffs. The 2-series uses the Fire TV OS to get you connected to streaming services like Apple TV and HBO Max, and it comes with an Alexa voice remote.
This deal really highlights why we love the Hisense TV brand so much: you can get a QLED 4K TV for under $200. The QD6 model is a well-rounded budget TV that utilizes the Fire TV platform and features built-in Alexa, as well as Dolby Vision HDR and DTS Virtual X audio for better picture quality and crisper sound. It won't wow you quite like a premium QLED would, but you'll still notice a difference from the quantum dots — particularly when watching in the daytime. This 50-inch model is great for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, and apartments, and at $199.99, it's beating its Prime Day price by nearly $40 at Best Buy.
If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. And our top pick for most people is TCL's QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV, thanks to its impressive brightness, stellar picture quality, contrast, shadow detail, and budget-conscious pricing.
"While this intensity of brightness makes the QM8K a solid choice for watching TV in daylight, its more-precise-than-usual backlights keep details crisp in a dark room. The new anti-halo effect is an effective fix for some of the blooming its predecessor experienced," Mashable's Leah Stodart notes. It's typically a $2,500 TV, but this Black Friday deal at Best Buy has dropped the cost of the 65-inch model down below $900. Amazon has the same model listed for $2 less, but as it comes from a third-party seller, we're more inclined to go with Best Buy.
Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025," is currently unmatched at Amazon or Best Buy. It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $698, this Black Friday deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.
We think the 2025 edition of The Frame, Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, is probably the best TV of the year on balance. While you can find premium LG and Samsung OLEDs with better displays, they will cost a lot more, and they lack the cool factor you get with The Frame. This art TV is ultra-thin, blending perfectly into your home decor. It also has a very unique matte, anti-glare display. Often imitated but never equaled, The Frame is truly special, and this is one of the year's best Black Friday tech deals so far.

While we do think the LG C5 is the best OLED TV you can buy right now, it's not necessarily the best Black Friday OLED TV deal. For example, the $1,399.99 "sale price" on the 65-inch C5 at Best Buy looks like an incredible deal until you realize that that TV has been $1,399.99 at Amazon since October. (Camelcamelcamel spills the price history tea once again.)
In terms of legit record-low discounts, the 65-inch Samsung S95F OLED's $1,000 discount is new for Black Friday, and you'll get a free $100 Best Buy gift card on top of that. The S95F is still one of our top OLED recommendations, mostly due to its anti-glare matte finish that's highly effective in bright rooms.

TL;DR: Pokémon TCG's Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection Box is available to preorder now for $80 at Amazon, which is market value compared to TCGplayer's price when you include shipping. You'll also get Amazon's preorder price guarantee which protects against overpaying.
Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames are absolutely killing it in the latest era of Pokémon TCG, and my boy Mega Venusaur ex is getting the love it deserves with its own Premium Collection that's available to preorder on Amazon for $80. This is at market value vs. TCGplayer.
You'll get a mix of booster packs in this collection:
2 x Destined Rivals
4 x Journey Together
2 x Mega Evolution
With Mega Evolutions seemingly bringing back trainer Pokémon cards a la Destined Rivals and Journey Together, it's fitting to have these boosters with Mega Evolution.
Mega Venusaur ex has an ability called Solar Transfer that allows trainers to move grass type energy around your Pokémon in play, which means it will only take two turns to build up the 4 x grass energy cost for Jungle Dump. This does 240 damage and heals 30 from Mega Venusaur.
If you pair this with Meganium you can double your grass energy, which turns one grass energy into two with Meganium's Wild Growth ability. That means you can build up and perform Mega Venusaur's Jungle Dump ability in one turn.
TCGPlayer is kicking off a 10% cashback event, which boosts up to 16% providing you've been a TCGplayer subscriber for long enough. It kicks off at 9 a.m. ET on Nov. 28 and runs until 11 p.m. ET on Dec. 1. With sets like Mega Evolution finding a new floor when it comes to single card values, this is the best time to build your collection up:

TL;DR: The Mega Charizard X ex Ultra Premium Collection has dropped to $199.99 at Amazon, which is matching TCGplayer's market value for Black Friday.
The first expansion for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, is up and running. I have already posted that Mega Charizard X ex UPC was on TCGplayer for $20 less than Amazon, but Amazon has now dropped it to market value. And this can be knocked down to as little as $59.58 with some Black Friday hacks.
Right now, you can apply for an Amazon Visa card and get a $60 instant gift card on a successful application, and there's no need to actually use the Amazon Visa card. That's going to knock down the UPC to $119.16, but you could save another 50%. If you have AMEX or Discover, you could get up to a 50% loyalty discount by spending just $1 on your card, which brings the UPC down to under $60. This discount will be applied automatically at checkout, if you're eligible.
That's a great price to pay for 18 booster packs, two awesome promos, sleeves, deckbox, playmat, dice, and a metal coin. We've also lined up more Black Friday Pokémon deals, so why not check out our full breakdown on everything that's on offer?
If you aren't eligible for the above discounts or don't want to rip packs hoping you'll find a big chase cards, why not just buy the cards you want instead? Phantasmal Flames is crashing ridiculously fast, so there has never been a better time to buy the chase cards you need:

SAVE OVER $44: The Pokémon Phantasmal Flames Booster Box has dropped to $254.99 at Amazon, which is more than $20 below TCGplayer's market value.
If you're a trainer on the hunt for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, you're in luck this Black Friday. This expansion's booster box is included in Amazon's numerous Pokémon discounts. Which is great news because Pokémon fans are very excited about this expansion now that it's out there in the wild.
The Phantasmal Flames Booster Box is currently available for $254.99 at Amazon, which is more than $20 below the market value according to TCGplayer and a full $44.01 off the Amazon list price of $299.
This box contains 36 packs, with a total of 120 cards to collect in this particular expansion. Something to look out for is a Mega Charizard X ex card – the standard ex, Alt Rare, Secret Illustration Rare, and Gold Hyper Rare. These are among the most expensive chase cards right now.
If you want to skip buying the box and go straight for the chase card, Phantasmal Flames individual card values have dropped since their launch. It might be cheaper to just pick them up individually:

160+ Amazon Black Friday deals still live: Find record-low prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and LG TVsAmazon Black Friday 2025 is officially here, and you can buy Fire TVs starting at $99. Shop record prices on Kindle, Bose, Lego, and Apple products.
Black Friday is officially here. The biggest shopping event of the year is underway, and while Amazon's early sale has been running since Nov. 20, the deepest discounts are dropping right now. We're seeing a bunch of epic, last-minute deals on some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025. Amazon even brought back its 1-cent Haul deals.
A majority of Amazon's Black Friday deals are record-low prices that match or beat the deals we saw during October Prime Day. See the evidence for yourself by plugging the URL into camelcamelcamel, the Mashable shopping team's secret weapon for finding the lowest prices at Amazon.
The official Black Friday deals are live, and you don't have time to waste. We'll be updating this page with new Amazon Black Friday deals as they drop, so keep checking back through the end of Cyber Weekend. Of course, it's worth checking out the best deals from competing retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart to make sure you're getting the best deal (we curate our lists to only include deals that are the actual best ones across retailers). If you don't feel like scrolling through all of that, you can keep up with the best deals across the internet with our live deals tracker or get them texted straight to your phone.
Apple deals are going hard this Black Friday. The AirPods 4 with ANC just hit a record-low price of $99.99, but they're flying off the shelves. We've seen them sell out once at Amazon already, and they're currently out of stock at Target. These give the entry-level AirPods (currently on sale for $69) the nice addition of ANC, which performed so well that it earned these buds a coveted Mashable Choice Award.

As the year comes to a close, another heartbreaking handful of Legos are set to retire. The Mos Espa Podrace diorama from The Phantom Menace is one of them, so now is your last chance not only to find it in stock, but for half off its usual price. This set is a bestseller for a reason: You get the full canyon in Tatooine scene, models of both Anakin's Podracer and Subulba's Podracer, and a special 25th anniversary plaque with a quote from Qui-Gon Jinn. It's nostalgia in brick form that any Star Wars fan should have in their collection.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts on Black Friday (and Prime Day, for that matter). If you haven't picked up a smart speaker yet, or just need one for a random room like the laundry room or guest bath, we recommend the Echo Pop. It’s currently $21.99, which is 45% off its regular price. Unlike the spherical Echo Dot, the Pop has a flat front that makes it fit way better on shallow shelves or crowded nightstands. It’s the perfect low-stakes way to add Alexa to another corner of your house without spending "real" money.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's Black Friday sale, this model is down to a new record low.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. The SE 3 is the first SE model to come with an always-on display.

All of that now comes in at under $200 thanks to this Black Friday sale at Amazon.

When you think of TVs on sale at Amazon, you probably think of Amazon's own Fire TVs. You're half right: The best Fire TV deal at Amazon is a Fire TV, but it's actually an Insignia (a Best Buy brand). At just $399.99 after a 38% discount, this 75-inch Insignia QLED is the cheapest 75-inch QLED TV we've seen across all Black Friday TV deals so far — that's almost $200 cheaper than the non-QLED 75-inch version of Amazon's Omni TV. And why would you settle when you could bring home the boosted quantum dot brightness for watching in the daytime?

This Black Friday season marks the very first time the Roborock Saros 10R has dropped below $1,000, so senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart can't help but recommend it to people — considering the Saros 10R was her favorite robot vacuum that she's ever tested for most of 2025, and is still the best robot vacuum mop combo when it comes to corner and edge mopping. (In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone is looking to buy this Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)
At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

Moon phase today: What the moon will look like on November 29See the moon phase expected for November 29, 2025 as well as when the next full moon is expected.
We're in the last lunar phase before the full moon, which can only mean we're getting closer and closer. There's still a few days until we reach the December full moon (which will again be a supermoon this month), but the moon is still nice and bright with plenty to see until then.
As of Saturday, Nov. 29, the moon phase is Waxing Gibbous. This means 63% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.
So, what can you see when you look up tonight? If you're looking up without any visual aids you should be able to spot the Tranquillitatis, and Serenitatis Mares, as well as the Tycho Crater. With binoculars you'll also be able to spot the Endymion, Alphonsus Craters and Clavius Craters. If you have a telescope, pull it out to try and catch a glimpse of the Apollo 15 and 16 landing spots, and the Fra Mauro Highlands.
The next full moon will be on Dec. 4, which will be the last of three consecutive supermoons. The last full moon was on Nov. 5.
NASA explains that the lunar cycle (which is about 29.5 days long) is made up of the Moon’s phases, which describe how the Moon looks from Earth as it travels around us. We view the same side of the Moon at all times, but the sunlight hitting its surface shifts as it moves through its orbit. That changing illumination is what makes the Moon appear full, half-lit, or not visible at all. The cycle includes eight distinct phases:
New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
NYT Pips hints, answers for November 29, 2025The New York Times' latest game, Pips, brings domino fun to your desktop. How to play Pips as well as hints in case you get stuck.
Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.
Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.
Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.
The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.
Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:
Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.
If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.
Number (3): Everything in this space must add to 3. The answer is 1-6, placed vertically.
Number (6): Everything in this purple space must add to 6. The answer is 1-6, placed vertically.
Number (6): Everything in this orange space must add to 6. The answer is 1-6, placed vertically.
Equal (2): Everything in this space must be equal to 2. The answer is 2-1, placed horizontally; 6-2, placed horizontally.
Less Than (5): Everything in this space must be less than 5. The answer is 2-0, placed vertically.
Equal (0): Everything in this red space must be equal to 0. The answer is 0-6, placed vertically; 2-0, placed vertically; 0-4, placed vertically.
Equal (6): Everything in this space must be equal to 6. The answer is 0-6, placed vertically; 4-6, placed horizontally.
Number (8): Everything in this space must add to 8. The answer is 0-4, placed vertically; 2-2, placed vertically.
Equal (0): Everything in this dark blue space must be equal to 0. The answer is 5-0, placed vertically; 0-0, placed horizontally.
Greater Than (2): Everything in this space must be greater than 2. The answer is 2-3, placed horizontally.
Equal (0): Everything in this orange space must be equal to 0. The answer is 0-0, placed horizontally; 0-4, placed vertically; 0-5, placed vertically.
Greater Than (3): Everything in this dark blue space must be greater than 3. The answer is 0-4, placed vertically.
Greater Than (3): Everything in this red space must be greater than 3. The answer is 6-4, placed vertically.
Number (17): Everything in this space must add to 8. The answer is 0-5, placed vertically; 6-4, placed vertically; 3-6, placed vertically.
Greater Than (9): Everything in this space must be greater than 2. The answer is 5-2, placed vertically; 1-6, placed vertically.
Equal (1): Everything in this red space must be equal to 1. The answer is 1-1, placed vertically; 1-6, placed vertically; 1-0, placed vertically.
Equal (3): Everything in this light blue space must be equal to 3. The answer is 3-3, placed vertically.

NYT Strands hints, answers for November 29, 2025The NYT Strands hints and answers you need to make the most of your puzzling experience.
Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you know how to operate machinery.
Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Wordle today: Answer, hints for November 29, 2025Here's the answer for "Wordle" #1623 on November 29 as well as a few hints, tips, and clues to help you solve it yourself.
Today's Wordle answer should be easy to solve if you have a hoarse voice.
If you just want to be told today's word, you can jump to the bottom of this article for today's Wordle solution revealed. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.
It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

The letter F appears twice.
Today's Wordle starts with the letter G.

Hurdle hints and answers for November 29, 2025Hints and answers to today's Hurdle all in one place.
If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

10 of the best Black Friday stocking stuffer dealsHere are 10 of the best stocking stuffer deals on the market right now.
Stocking stuffers are some of the best things to pick up on Black Friday. They are often already lower-cost items, but adding a Black Friday discount doesn't hurt at all. Stocking stuffers are fun because they can be super simple, like some nice pen,s or they can be a surprising big gift, like jewelry or AirPods. Sometimes adults who love toys, like Calico Critters, enjoy a nostalgic toy slipped into their stocking despite not being a kid.
The following stocking stuffers have great Black Friday discounts and could work for anyone in your life that you're shopping for. They're all on the smaller gift end. If you're looking for higher ticket items and the best Black Friday deals, you can find more in our master list of the best Black Friday deals.
The best Black Friday deals are often centered around upgrading to a massive TV, getting an Apple Watch at a record-low price, or loading up on stocking stuffers. While those are great scores, Black Friday is a great time to stock up on less exciting items. Stuff like toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels are always part of the major sale but don't get all that much attention.
But if you want to add stuff to your cart that you'll be majorly thankful for in the future, consider the boring but essentials. Come next month or even next year when you have a stockpile of batteries available for when the remote goes dead, you'll be very thankful that your Black Friday self swooped in on these deals. Plus, buying them online means you don't have to leave the house and lug all the grocery bags inside.
Since the year 2025 has shown us there's no limit to how expensive things can get, stocking up now gives you some insulation from future price increases or even more intense shrinkflation. Here are some deals to add to your cart while they're still live during Cyber Week.

Black Friday is the time to stock up on the things you — and everyone on your list — want the most. Sure, you could go for the boring essentials, but what's the fun in that? If you're looking to stay entertained this holiday season, check out these Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Black Friday deals.
So far, we haven't spotted any deals on Switch consoles. The best you can do is snag one of the Switch bundles, which includes popular new games like Mario Kart World or NBA 2K26. That ends up saving you a few dollars, which can go toward even more games.
Nintendo Switch deals shine when it comes to games. There's plenty of stocking fillers and backlog stuffers to choose from right now. I've also labelled which each deal is compatible with the Switch 1, Switch 2, or both consoles, so you know exactly what you're buying.
Here are all the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals we've spotted.
The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't getting any traditional discounts this Black Friday, per se, but that doesn't mean you can't get a good deal on one. Case in point: this bundle that nets you the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself and a copy of Mario Kart World. A Switch 2 on its own is $449, and Mario Kart World alone is $79, so you're still seeing a savings of $30 by getting the bundle. If you need the Switch 2 system itself and want something great to play along with it, this is the best bet by far. You'll get hours of entertainment out of Mario Kart World and still save some cash. Win-win! Additionally, there are similar bundles to choose from that go in and out of stock, so it's best to keep checking back if there are certain games you're looking to score alongside your system.

Nice button action, amazing ergonomics, and plenty of features such as complex macros, interchangeable A, B, X, and Y buttons, and adjustable triggers. It's a very close call between the Pro 3 and the Ultimate 2 from 8BitDo, and don't get me started on the Arcade stick, but the Pro 3 wins for me personally.

Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and as we hit Cyber Weekend, the deals are predictably great. Don't thank the Apple Store for that: Third-party retailers are the ones offering the biggest cash discounts. (Apple's 2025 Black Friday deal is just its usual free gift card promo.)
For the best selection of Apple deals, head to Amazon: At the time of writing, most of the latest AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, and MacBooks were sitting at record-low prices there. Competitors like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target were matching some, but not all of its offers.
If you'd happily sacrifice a few current-gen features for the sake of an extra-steep discount, check out Walmart's wares. It has some exclusive deals on the three-year-old Apple Watch SE 2 (now just $129), the M1 MacBook Air (now $549), and the A14 Bionic iPad (now $349 with 256GB of storage).
And a little PSA: If you've been hesitating on buying, you should complete your purchase sooner rather than later. We've been tracking deals all day long and noticed around 5 pm EST, that some AirPods are spiking in price again. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 were down to a record low of $139, but now they're back up to $199. Plus, the AirPods 4 with ANC went from $99.99 to $109.99. Deals really don't last so grab them before they're gone.
To give you a head start on finding deals, we've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best Black Friday Apple deals below. We'll continue to update it as we get deeper into the holiday season, so keep checking back. In the meantime, here are the 45 best Apple deals as of Nov. 28.
Apple's coin-sized Bluetooth tracker is the perfect sub-$50 stocking stuffer for iPhone owners. Amazon and Walmart both have it on sale for the record-low price of $17.97, or 38% off.
Apple's most affordable earbuds have a five-hour battery life, a one-size-fits-most design, and support for Siri head gestures. The non-ANC pair is only $69 at Amazon and Walmart this Black Friday, which is a $60 savings and a new all-time low.
Apple's previous-gen budget wearable has a bright OLED screen, a water-resistant design, and most of the features available on the newer Apple Watch SE 3. You miss out on sleep apnea notifications, temperature sensing, fast charging, and wrist gestures, plus the always-on display. If you don't consider those essentials, the SE 2 is a bargain for only $129 during Walmart's Black Friday sale. That's almost half off.
The 11th-gen iPad has a 10.9-inch display, 12MP cameras, and enough power for everyday tasks. Our reviewer called it "a real steal" at its usual sticker price of $349, but you'll pay just $274 if you buy it from Amazon or Walmart this Black Friday. That's its lowest price ever and $5 better than Best Buy's deal.
Fast, pretty, and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. We didn't think it would get any cheaper than $799 this season — that was its regular sale price from August to early November — but Amazon and Best Buy proved us wrong.
Did you snag a Kindle this Black Friday? Every model is discounted during Amazon's Black Friday sale, providing new, all-time low prices. The deals were plentiful and generous from Amazon this year, bringing the 6-inch Kindle down to a new low of $79.99, meanwhile the Colorsoft finally dipped under $200. So if you did pick up a Kindle this Black Friday, did you grab a case for it?
Part of the fun of a Kindle is all the accessorizing you can do. These compact, lightweight e-readers are a blank slate to express your creativity, whether you want to deck it out with stickers or a case with lots of personality. Luckily with Black Friday, not only are the e-readers on sale, but so are all the accessories that go with them. This includes cases but also ergonomic hand straps, remote page turners, and stands. Basically everything you need to create the coziest winter reading nook to tackle that endless TBR.
Here are all the best deals on Kindle accessory deals this Black Friday.
One of the most popular Kindle case options appears a little boring on the surface. Many users prefer the simplicity of a clear case, but it's not necessarily for the minimalist aesthetic. Instead, these clear cases are just blank canvases for you to decorate them as you please. the best deal on a clear Kindle case comes from MoKo.

The world of content creation is here to stay. Whether you're a pro vlogger or just getting started with a podcast, you have endless possibilities about how you'll take off on a content creation journey. While the majority of creating content comes from brainpower and creativity, there are a few tools you'll want to help out, and tons of them are included in the best Black Friday deals.
From camera to mics to storage, content creation requires a few essential tech products that will both make your job easier as well as more streamlined. Thankfully, we have a handful of super reliable brands to fall on for all the goods needed.
Keep in mind DJI makes some of the most popular content-creator tech but the brand is having a hard time getting product into the U.S. right now. Because of that, you'll probably need to go with a third-party seller for almost anything DJI. We don't usually condone buying from third-party sellers, but DJI is an exception lately. We've only included DJI deals that come from reputable sellers that have a solid track record within the last year.
If you're in the content-creator circle, you know the DJI Mic Mini has taken over. Almost every vlog, TikTok video, or YouTube stream features these tried and true mics. Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard tested out the DJI Mic Mini and found it not only easy to use, but great in terms of performance, too. "If you need any degree of portability with your mic setup, the DJI Mic Mini offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value," Allard wrote. "That makes it a solid option for making vlogs and TikToks, and for anyone who feels less than confident with their tech skills."
Thanks to Amazon's Black Friday sale, the Mic Mini with two transmitters and one receiver is on sale for only $66, down from the normal price of $119. That's a major 45% discount and the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

Ready to record you next adventure in 8K? So is the Insta360 X5 8K Action Camera and thanks to Black Friday, you can snag it for the record-low price of $464.99, down from the norm of $549.99. You'll get tons of creator-approved features with this portable camera like the invisible selfie stick effect, a three-hour battery, and built-in wind guard stabilization. Insta360 also designed this model to be espeically adept at filming in low-light situations.

It's quite possible DJI will face a drone ban in the U.S. within the next few weeks. If that's the case, Black Friday could be your last change to snag a DJI drone, for a while, at least. Because of that uncertainly, Amazon's deal on the DJI Mini 4K Camera Drone Combo at 21% off is a great option. With two batteries, you'll be in line for over an hour of flight time and the 10-kilometer video transmission isn't shabby either. Plus, it's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

This Black Friday, Amazon Haul is having a "1-cent sale." You heard that right… a vast swath of products on Amazon are on sale for literally 1 cent. That said, the quality and usefulness of these items are admittedly very questionable. There are a lot of listings, some like this decorative pine tree pillow that says, "I like them real thick and sprucy" (what does that even mean?). If you spend $25 on Amazon Haul at once, though, you can unlock free shipping. This means you can buy items on Haul for more than .01 cents and add items from the 1-cent sale to get free shipping. I imagine it would be hard to buy 2,500 things on Amazon Haul 1-cent sale to earn free shipping alone. Plus, there is a limit of 3 of each item per customer.
Amazon Haul is a subset of Amazon dedicated to extremely reduced-price options (usually under $20 and often under $10), with non-Prime shipping prices and speeds. If you're curious about the best Black Friday deals that are not 1 cent, Mashable's editors are super hard at work scouting out the best discounts.
Believe it or not, though, there are some exciting and potentially useful products on Amazon Haul's 1-cent sale. The best part about all of it is that the items cost literally one penny, so if you hate the item, you can return it, or you can cut your losses of one literal cent. Some useful items featured in this sale include party decorations for very specific occasions, 56 miniature grass tufts for dioramas or dollhouses, knock-off Dyson AirWrap curl attachments, and polarized replacement lenses for certain sunglasses. I will say, I do distinctly remember spending $40 for a set of shiny, helium-filled, Mylar number balloons for my friend's birthday recently. So, it could prove to be a deal to snag some decorations for 1 cent while you can.
If your interest is piqued by both the good deals and some of the super weird options, check out the list below.

Thankfully, these frenzied Black Friday free-for-alls are a relic of a bygone era. Now, you can order all of the best Black Friday deals online.

The best Black Friday AirPods deals: $69 AirPods 4 and record-low price on AirPods Pro 3For Black Friday, the lowest prices on AirPods include the popular AirPods 4 for just $69, a record price.
If you’ve been waiting all year to grab a new pair of AirPods, now’s your chance. Black Friday sales are officially live at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, and some of Apple’s signature earbuds are on sale at record prices. Several retailers have slashed prices across the AirPods lineup, from entry-level AirPods to the premium AirPods Max. So, if you're looking to snag some, we've got all the details you need to score the best price.
But be warned, deals are selling out fast. As of 5 pm EST on Nov. 28, we've noticed that several great AirPods deals have increased in price. The AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are now back up to $109.99 from their previous low of $99.99. Plus, the AirPods Pro 2 have increased to $199 from their low price of $139. That being said, our favorite AirPods deals are still available.
For the absolute lowest price on AirPods, Walmart, Target, and Amazon are leading the pack right now with a record-low price on the AirPods 4, an entry-level pair of buds. All three retailers have the price down to $69. And if you want to level up, the AirPods Pro 3 are also at their lowest price ever at $219.99, but at your pick of retailer — you can find this deal at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
We've checked all the major retailers to make sure you get the best prices on AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max products.
We've been waiting for this one: Now that Black Friday sales have begun, the base model AirPods 4 just hit a record low price of $69 at Amazon. This is a frankly absurd price for Apple wireless earbuds, which somehow have gotten more affordable in the age of inflation and tariffs. We're not sure how long this deal isn't going to stick around for. We've already seen stock drop for AirPods 4 with ANC.
AirPods Pro 3 are the very latest and most advanced pair of Apple's earbuds, and for Black Friday 2025, they just got their biggest discount yet. As of Nov. 24, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to $219.99, saving you $29.01. That's not a huge discount, but it's absolutely the best price we've found on them (and don't expect it to drop significantly lower once Black Friday proper hits). The AirPods Pro 3 offer exceptional sound, even better active noise cancellation, live translation, and heart-rate monitoring. You can pick up this discount at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
The stylish, over-the-ear AirPods Max are all about sounding great while turning heads, and they're especially tantalizing at this price. They offer great noise cancellation, simple controls, and 20 hours of battery life per charge. While they're the most expensive offering out of Apple's AirPods stable, you can score them for a decent price right now thanks to this Black Friday AirPods deal at Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart.
Apple's basic EarPods may be the cheapest of everything the company has to offer, but they're still no slouch when it comes to sound. These corded earbuds feel great and sound even better for the price, with a built-in remote that you can use to adjust volume, control music playback, and answer calls. Plus, their built-in mic makes chatting on the go feel like a dream.
65+ of the best Black Friday deals on outdoor gear: Yeti, Jackery, and LifeStraw at record lowsThe best Black Friday outdoor deals include the Jackery Explorer 2000, JBL Charge 6, Yeti Tundra cooler, and more.
Black Friday is finally here. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised how many big price drops we're seeing on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.
Whether you want to gear up for cold weather adventures, stock up for spring and summer camping, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We're tracking all of the best outdoor deals below as we move through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so check back for the latest price drops.
Plus, we're seeing some popular favorites get the real deal treatment — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro. Be sure to check back as we get deeper into the holiday season and follow along with Mashable's coverage of every category in our Black Friday hub.
A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs. With $800 off, it's down to its best price on record during Black Friday.
A quality Bluetooth speaker makes a great companion in the great outdoors and the JBL Charge 6 is our favorite. It's powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party, but still lightweight enough at just 2 pounds to tote around. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal drops it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy.
Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler.
Instead of dealing with the hassle of melting ice, upgrading your outdoor adventures with an electric cooler is one of the most convenient luxuries. The powerful Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler is easy use and transport, and you can set the temperature as a freezer or refrigerator. Not only will the cooler keep your foods perfectly chilled for days, the battery that powers up the electric cooler can also recharge your phone at the campground.

Finding real Labubus and other Pop Mart favorites in stock has been an Olympic sport for the past year. Now, Google has confirmed that Labubus were one of the 100 top-searched gifts of 2025 — so you can probably only imagine just how chaotic the realm of fake Pop Mart Black Friday deals could get. The only way to ensure you're getting legit Pop Mart merch is to buy from Pop Mart itself — and yes, Pop Mart is having a Black Friday sale.
Now that Black Friday is well underway, deals are moving fast with coupons and mystery boxes dropping every couple of hours. Three coupons pop up on the Black Friday landing page: save $50 when you spend $100, save $16 when you spend $80, and save $6 when you spend $60. But after a little digging in the "My Coupons" section of your profile, you'll find that only certain items work with certain coupons. Much to everyone on Reddit's disappointment, no, Pop Mart is not letting you pick out $110 worth of Labubus or SkullPandas and then handing you a $55 discount.
Pop Mart is about to drop their best Black Friday deal yet at 6 pm EST. The Holiday Surprise Plush Treat box includes a mix of Pop Mart merch but most importantly, you're guaranteed to get at least one of The Monsters. The box will include a mix of Pop Mart options from three different product groups which include The Monsters, Skullpandas, and Crybabys. While each box has a different monetary value, by our calculations, each one is worth at least $130 meaning you're saving at least $40.
Supplies will be extremely limited and will sell out fast so grab one while you can.
There actually is one hidden Pop Mart promo code that unlocks discounts on viral characters, including The Monsters. The "special offers" section in the "Black Friday deals tab" across the top holds a glorious $100 off $300+ deal, and popular series like Skullpanda You Found Me!, Crybaby Crying Again, and The Monsters Why So Serious are all eligible. You just have to get your cart to $300 and enter code BF001.
This code changes daily, but the deal will likely be the same until Pop Mart drops more deals on Nov. 28. It's specifically noted that a "50% off special picks" deal is coming to the items in this collection. No Labubus are eligible as of Nov. 25, but we have a reason to be hopeful for Labubu deals: If you Google "Pop Mart Black Friday," the official Pop Mart result that pops up mentions "exclusive discounts on Labubu."
The good news is that you can still unlock a free exclusive item by spending a certain amount of money, regardless of which coupon your cart items fall under. Orders over $99 unlock a free Crybaby Crying for Love series storage bag, and orders over $199 unlock a free Crybaby Crying for Love series jewelry box. Both items are only available for the Black Friday sale and cannot be purchased separately.
It's quite possible that you'll be able to find Black Friday Pop Mart deals at the official Amazon Pop Mart Store and at Urban Outfitters, where Pop Mart is also selling officially licensed merch, including Crybaby, Skullpanda, Peach Riot, and The Monsters. If an item you want sells out on Pop Mart's website, there may still be stock at either of these retailers. For example, The Monsters Fall in Wild series vinyl plush doll pendant that's sold out at Pop Mart is still in stock at Amazon for its usual $39.99.
TL;DR: Free office apps only go so far — Microsoft Office Professional 2021 gives you the full, reliable toolkit for real productivity at an incredibly rare $34.97 price.
We’ve all tried to make free productivity apps work. And for quick notes or basic tasks? Sure, they’re fine. But the moment you need precise formatting, advanced spreadsheets, or truly polished presentations, things start to fall apart fast.
That’s why so many head back to Microsoft Office — the suite professionals can actually rely on when accuracy, efficiency, and reliability matter.
As part of this Black Friday sale, you can get a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for just $34.97 (reg. $219.99), which means a single payment unlocks the full experience on one Windows PC — no recurring fees, no monthly reminders, no compromises.
This complete suite includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and the free version of Teams — covering everything from writing reports and managing massive data sets to creating presentations that don’t scream “last-minute.”
The familiar ribbon-based layout makes it incredibly easy to navigate tools, adjust formatting, customize layouts, and fine-tune every detail. Whether you’re crafting professional documents, analyzing business data, or organizing your inbox, everything feels more controlled and more capable than what free alternatives can offer.
Office 2021 is designed for real-life productivity — the kind that supports freelancers, business owners, remote workers, students, and anyone who wants their work to look polished and function smoothly.
And since this is a lifetime license tied directly to your device (not your Microsoft account), you’re getting long-term, dependable access without worrying about expiring subscriptions or sudden feature lockouts.
Don’t miss grabbing a lifetime Microsoft Office Pro 2021 license while it’s just $34.97 for a limited time.

Everything to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025: Official dates, best deals, and Prime perksHere's everything you need to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025, including when the sale starts and the latest Thanksgiving deals.
Black Friday season is in full swing and Amazon is already showing off with epic deals. If the influx of deals in your inbox is giving you hives, we're breaking down all of the details of Amazon's sale for you below — from when the sale starts and ends to what deals are actually worth adding to your cart.
Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has morphed into a full-blown holiday shopping season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we're not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive.
Unlike its major competitors — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target — Amazon doesn't have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. Amazon typically has the best prices of the bunch, and sometimes it will undercut its rivals by pennies or dollars, as if taunting them. Again, we're not complaining, because nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.
So, here's everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best Amazon deals already live.
The mega-retailer's Black Friday sale kicked off early on Thursday, Nov. 20 and will run through the end of the day Friday, Nov. 28. But most of Amazon's Black Friday deals last through Monday — by name, they'll just be called Cyber Monday deals starting Saturday, Nov. 29. (Yes, Amazon does do Cyber Monday as well.) The official Amazon Cyber Monday sale runs through Monday, Dec. 1, which is when you can consider Amazon's Black Friday sale to be over.
Our shopping experts are unanimous — Black Friday is the best time to shop. If you're holding out for a last-minute price drop on Cyber Monday, don't hold your breath. Amazon does hold back a handful of deals for Cyber Monday (Cyber Week, really), but the biggest savings from the most popular brands will be available Friday. In fact, some products may go up in price or sell out while you're still biding your time.
The verdict: Prices are usually lowest on Black Friday itself, though most deals will linger through Cyber Monday.
Amazon doesn't release a traditional Black Friday ad like its competitors. Instead, it announces its plans for Black Friday in the form of a press release — and then proceeds to drop some of the best deals of the season when the time comes.
Officially, these are the categories Amazon highlighted in its press release, but it doesn't even include some of the top deals we've seen thus far (read on to shop those). Regardless, here's what Amazon's ad highlights include for its Black Friday sale:
Up to 55% off select home products from Shark and kitchen appliances from Ninja
Up to 50% off Amazon devices like the Echo Dot Max, Fire TV Stick lineup, Fire tablets, and Kindles
Up to 50% off electronics from JBL and Canon
Up to 45% off Bose audio
Up to 40% off kitchen items from Vitamix, Staub, Nespresso, and more
Up to 40% on select floorcare from Bissell and iRobot
Up to 40% off home entertainment from Hisense, TCL, and LG
Up to 40% on toys from Melissa & Doug, Little Tykes, Play-Doh, and Nerf
Up to 35% on select Samsung and Google products
Up to 80% off Kindle books and up to 65% off physical books
Amazon's Black Friday event is always packed with deals that range from today's best tech to kitchen appliances to toys all the kids want under the tree this year. This year is no different — we're already seeing record-low prices, beating or at least matching previous lows that we usually see during Prime Day events. We've rounded up some of the best deals we've seen at Amazon for Black Friday 2025 below, but be sure to follow along with our shopping team's full coverage for a wider range of products.
Still looking for more deals? We have a much bigger running list of the best Black Friday deals at Amazon, broken down by categories like Apple products, headphones, TVs, kitchen gadgets, beauty tech, and more. If you're stumped on a good gift idea, you'll find one in there.
While some deals will be available to everyone, the best Amazon Black Friday deals are always Prime exclusives. So, if you've somehow resisted and avoided signing up for Amazon Prime until now, then you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial that will take you through the holiday shopping season. After the trial ends, you'll be charged $14.99 per month. You can also sign up for Prime Access-only plans, which gives you benefits like free shipping and returns, but no extra perks like Prime Video access.
Prime members get perks such as:
Exclusive Black Friday deals
Access to Prime Video
Amazon Music
Free Grubhub+
Free delivery and returns
Just about every deal probably looks great upon first glance, but it's wise to do a few extra seconds of research, especially if it's a pricier investment. To confirm you're actually getting a good deal, head to camelcamelcamel to check on a product's price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker and you'll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we've also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP, which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers. The Mashable shopping team uses camelcamelcamel daily throughout the entire year.

The best Black Friday deals on Advent calendars: Save on Kiehls, Lego, Bloomingdales, and SephoraSome of the season's best Advent calendars are already on sale ahead of Black Friday. Pick up popular gifts from Kiehl's, Lego, Bloomingdales, and Sephora.
Advent calendars are some of our favorite Christmas gifts, and with Black Friday already here, you're running out of time to order for the holidays. Some of the season's most popular Advent calendars have already gone out of stock, but there are still plenty of festive countdowns available.
Even better, thanks to the best Black Friday deals, you can find popular Advent calendars from top brands like Kiehl's and Williams-Sonoma on sale. Not every calendar will be on sale, but the best ones still represent a great deal, as they let you enjoy hundreds of dollars' worth of products for a lot less than you'd usually pay.
So, whether you're looking for the best beauty Advent calendars, calendars for kids, or something more traditional, we've gathered them all up into one place for you. Keep checking back as we approach Black Friday, as we'll keep adding more products as they go on sale — and crossing off the ones that go out of stock.
This Lego Christmas playset comes with 24 toys in total, and it's packed with easter eggs for Star Wars fans, young and old. (BB-8 as a snowman? A Jawa in a holiday sweater? Say less.) Adults can certainly enjoy Advent calendars, but we're not sure we can enjoy them quite as much as a kid eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus.
If you’re looking for a gentle method to aid with sleep regulation, tension and stress, take a closer look at Pulsetto. It’s an interesting device with some impressive claims behind it, and right now it’s at an all time low price on Amazon for Black Friday.
This lightweight device utilises electrical impulses to the neck, designed to stimulate the vagus nerve. This, in turn, is a process that activates the parasympathetic nervous system. According to the manufacturer, this mechanism can reduce stress levels by approximately 28%, and anxiety levels by up to 26%, potentially giving a few moments of respite during high-activity periods.
Additionally, the device aims to support sleep regulation, with Pulsetto claiming an 18% improvement in sleep quality for its users. To use the device before bed, apply the provided conductive gel (also sold separately) and wear the device for a four-minute session, which is intended to balance the nervous system and improve focus upon waking. The device pairs with a mobile app to track biometric data, such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and sleep metrics.
It’s important to remember as well, that while devices such as the Pulsetto can be fantastic stress relievers, if you are suffering from a medical condition, chronic pain, or anxiety disorders, it should not be used as a replacement for medical treatment as recommended by your health care professional.
At such a huge discount, it’s a great opportunity to pick up a stress-reliever either for yourself, or for someone else in your life who could really use it.
30+ of the best Black Friday Pokémon deals: Phantasmal Flames Booster Box, Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection Box, and moreAcross Amazon and other retailers, here are the best Black Friday Pokémon deals in 2025 for savings on the TCG, Nintendo Switch games, toys, and much more.
Black Friday is back with even more Pokémon deals dropped by all the leading players in the game, meaning you can save serious cash on Pokémon TCG, the most popular Nintendo Switch Pokémon games, Squishmallows, Plushies, Funko Pops, Mega building sets, and plenty of toys.
At Mashable, we've scanned through everything on offer at retailers like Amazon and dug up the ideal Pokémon deals for you on Black Friday; we'll also continuously update this guide to keep you informed on new deals as they drop, along with any price changes on what's already listed. Here are all the best Pokémon deals we've found in the Black Friday sales so far.
This is one of the most anticipated Pokémon TCG products of this year, which is now at the same price as TCGplayer, meaning this is currently at market value on Amazon.
Phantasmal Flames Booster Box — $61.49 $64.99 (save $3.50)
Phantasmal Flames Build & Battle Box — $58.50 $74.95 ($16.45)
Destined Rivals Eight Booser Pack — $87.89 $95.25 (save $7.36)
Mega Evolutions Elite Trainer Box (Mega Gardevoir) — $79.69 $99.99 (save $20.03)
Phantasmal Flames Booster Box — $254.99 $299 (save $44.01)
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a great ride (more so on Switch 2), but Legends: Arceus kicked off the experimental mainline series that sees Pokémon games turning long-standing mechanics on their heads. Arceus isn't optimized for Nintendo Switch 2, but it's still such a great game. With a cheeky Black Friday discount thrown in, you should see what you've been missing out on.
What's better than one classic starter? Three classic gen one starters, with an extra markdown thanks to a coupon code. Pick up a Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle for $45.48.
It's rare to see significant discounts on Squishmallows, and Pokémon is even more infamous for dodging price cuts. But there are plenty of Pokémon Jumbo Squishmallow Black Friday deals right now, such as this cute Eevee with $15 slashed off. They're so soft and perfect cuddle buddies, according to my kids of course...
If you're wondering what would go down well for the Pokémon fan in your life, this is a safe bet that won't break the bank this Black Friday. Cyndaquill, Charmeleon, and Arcanine are all fan-favorite fire type Pokémon, and is one of the better 3-inch figure sets I've seen.
Sleeping Pokémon plushies are life, and these are by far some of the most popular. It's not a huge discount, but anything with the Kanto generation starter Pokémon is popular, and these are so fluffy. They're not huge either, so it's a perfect stocking filler.
The news that Pokémon is finally making the jump to Lego next year is ridiculously awesome, but there's already plenty of seriously cool Mega Pokémon sets to build. This Motion Eevee is always a favorite around Black Friday, and it's nearly $15 off right now. It sports 1,366 pieces and features moving ears, legs, and tail as the set re-creates a running motion.
SAVE $200: This Walmart Black Friday TV deal brings a huge 85-inch TCL Roku 4K TV down to just $498. It's likely the cheapest 85-inch TV you'll see out of all the best Black Friday deals this season.
I've been keeping track of TVs on sale during every major shopping holiday for several years now. For Black Friday 2025, I'm seeing so many cheap 65- and 75-inch QLED TVs that I'd almost always recommend grabbing a QLED TV over a regular LED TV. The one exception is Walmart's $498 deal on this massive 85-inch TCL 4K Roku TV — I've seen enough TV deals to know that you don't stumble across an 85-inch TV under $500 often, if ever.
If your living room is so spacious that it almost looks more awkward to not have a big TV, this TCL deal is your best chance to fill that space on a budget. For reference, the cheapest 85-inch QLED TV deal so far this Black Friday was a $648 Hisense QLED TV that's already sold out. Or think of it this way: If your max budget was $500 for a QLED, you'd definitely have to settle for 75 inches. (I say "settle" as if 75 inch TVs aren't still huge.)
Still not sure what type of TV you even need? Here's a quick refresher on the advantages of QLED: QLED TVs use the same type of LED backlight panel that LED TVs like this TCL model do, but they sandwich a layer of quantum dots between that backlight and the screen. Quantum dots are tiny nanocrystals that are really good at reflecting light and colors, making QLED TVs brighter and more vibrant — something I've noticed the most when watching sports in the daytime. But if you're a super casual TV watcher who doesn't even notice that type of thing, the sheer size of this TCL TV could definitely create an at-home theater feel.
Black Friday stocking stuffer deal: Ankers MagGo Power Bank is 30% off at AmazoniPhone users should hop on this deal, as the Anker MagGo power bank is optimized for Apple phones.
SAVE $25: The Anker MagGo Power Bank is on sale for $54.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. This is $25 off its regular price.
Many people are traveling around this Thanksgiving holiday season, whether it’s going back home to visit family or going somewhere fun to hang out.

This power bank has both a 15W max wireless charging pad and a 30W USB-C port that lets you charge your devices both at home and on the go. Additionally, its minimalist design makes it easy to take with you and won’t overheat due to its internal insulation, making it a great fit for plane rides.
The power bank is also best used with iPhones due to their magnetic fast charging capabilities. Included in this package are a USB-C cable and a 24-month warranty, so if you run into trouble, Anker will take care of it.
Be sure to check out the Anker MagGo Power Bank on sale at Amazon. Deals on iPhones are rare, but there are a few out there, including past-gen and refurbished ones over at Walmart and Amazon.

Score the Kindle Paperwhite Kids for its best price ever and get extra savings when you buy twoNot only is the Kindle Paperwhite Kids on sale for a record-low price on Black Friday, but you also save an extra $20 when you buy two.
SAVE AN EXTRA $20: For Black Friday, Amazon has the Kindle Paperwhite Kids on sale for just $134.99 (reg. $179.99). Plus, when you buy two, you can save an extra $20.
Amazon always uses major shopping holidays like Black Friday as an excuse to discount its own devices. Kindles, in particular, tend to see the best deals of the year during Black Friday — and this year is no different. If you're looking for a gift for kids that you can feel good about, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is on sale for a record-low price.
As of Nov. 28, aka Black Friday, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is down to just $134.99 at Amazon. That's $45 off its list price and the lowest price to date, according to our favorite price-tracking tool. Plus, when you buy two, you'll save another $20. Just add two devices to your cart and the extra $20 discount will be auto-applied at checkout (see here for details).
Mashable's e-reader expert thinks the Paperwhite Kids is the best Kindle for kids, thanks enormously to it being waterproof. The regular Kindle Kids is not, which is a dealbreaker if you have a clumsy kid. The Paperwhite Kids stands up to everything from juice spills to dips in the pool. Plus, it comes with a built-in case.
Beyond being near-indestructible, it's also designed with built-in parental controls so parents can keep an eye on their kid's bookshelf, approve or disapprove downloads, adjust age filters, and set a device bedtime. It's loaded with age-friendly titles that are easily accessible for kids and even comes with six months of Amazon Kids+. Not to mention, it doesn't have ads, notifications, or the temptation of games and videos. It's purely made to help kids build healthy reading habits and cut back on YouTube.

There’s something for everyone and all ages here: Lego, action figures, board games, dolls, classic toys, preschool learning, and more.
Lego reigns as the absolute king of all toy brands, with categories and themes for everyone, whether your kids into Star Wars, dinosaurs, or constructing their own cities literally brick-by-brick. But we absolutely love the Creator 3-in-1 series, which offers young builders three awesome models in one box. This set, for instance, can be made into a rhino, a hippo, or a walrus. The upshot is triple the fun, and triple the amount of time your kids will spend occupied by creative, constructive play.
Thirty years since Toy Story first hit movie theaters, Woody, Buzz, and the gang are still going strong — they’re perennial kids’ favorites and must-have IRL toys. And kids will be going crazy for them all over next year with the release of Toy Story 5. This classic posable Woody figure is a great option for playtime, especially at a discount. See below for more Toy Story characters at discounted prices.
Few recent shows have caught the imagination of preschoolers and kindergarten age kids quite like the wholesome, big-hearted Bluey. And this electronic figure is an ideal gift for young Bluey fans. Hide the figure and Bluey giggles to help guide little ones towards her. Bluey also plays music in dance mode when the kids eventually find her, and she doubles up as a regular doll figure. She’s designed to encourage activity and movement — great after a Bluey binge-watch!

SAVE UP TO 20%: Amazon is offering up to 20% off select branded gift cards for Black Friday — including Apple, Fandango at Home, Taco Bell, Petsmart, Google Play, and more.
Not sure what to get for someone on your list this year? In this economy, we think anyone and everyone will appreciate the classic gift card. And while scouring the major retailers for the best Black Friday deals, we discovered Amazon is having a branded gift card sale.
As of Nov. 28, aka Black Friday, you can score up to 20% off select branded gift cards at Amazon — including top brands, stores, and restaurants like Apple, Google Play, Fandango, Petsmart, and Applebees. Most gift cards included in the sale are for either $50 or $100. Some offer direct savings, while others offer savings in the form of promotional credits.

Some of our favorite options include a $15 Amazon credit with $100 Apple gift card purchases, $50 gift cards for $40 from Fandango, Petco, California Pizza Kitchen, Spafinder, and Outback, and $100 Lowe's gift cards for $90. There were also notable deals on Uber Eats and Lyft gift cards, but those already sold out. So, be sure to keep an eye on that Lightning deal ticker and snag the Black Friday savings while you can.
Black Friday iPad deals kind of suck this year. Here are 3 Id shop as a tech editor.The top Black Friday deals on iPads are pretty lackluster this year, TBH. See the deals we do recommend on the iPad Air, iPad, and new iPad Pro.
We're in the thick of Black Friday season, and this year, the best Black Friday deals include record prices on Apple Watches, Samsung QLED TVs, Kindle e-readers, and PlayStation video games. Unfortunately, we haven't been particularly impressed with this year's crop of iPad deals, which are usually a mainstay of big sales events. Having tested the iPad Air and the new M5 iPad Pro for Mashable, I've been watching and waiting for price drops that just haven't come.
So, what gives?
Apple itself doesn't really do sales, but the big box retailers and Amazon always compete to offer the lowest possible prices on Apple products during events like Prime Day and Black Friday. Overall, there are some great deals on Apple products this year. All the new Apple Watches are on sale. AirPods now start at $69, which feels like someone made a mistake. And even the new M5 MacBook Pro is at a record price.
We were hoping to see one of Apple's older iPads go on sale for $250 for Black Friday, but so far we've been disappointed, and we don't expect any further price drops at this point. Check out our full guide to Black Friday iPad deals to get the download on the lowest price on every model. Or, keep reading to see the few iPad deals I do recommend shopping this year.
This isn't a bad price for an iPad by any means, but in years past, the older, base iPads would go on sale for $250 during Black Friday, and we were hoping to see that again in 2025. However, $274 is still a fine price for an iPad. The base iPad has a large 11-inch display and comes in a few fun color options. We've had good experiences with this Apple tablet, and it's the right choice for budget shoppers this year. This is actually a record-low price for this iPad, but considering its age, we were hoping for a slightly bigger discount.
The iPad Air is the tablet I recommend for most people. It's thin but powerful, with a zippy M3 chip and 12MP front and rear cameras. It also has TouchID for secure logins. This is a fantastic everyday tablet, but you can do more serious work on it if you like. (Personally, I prefer using tablets for gaming and streaming.) Upgrade to iPadOS 26, and you can enjoy the new Liquid Glass design, improved multitasking, and the ability to move windows around on the display.
The 11-inch version of this tablet is on sale at Amazon for $449, which is also a record price — just not a new record price. If you're buying an iPad as a tech gift (they make great Christmas gifts for moms, just saying), this is the model you should choose.
Read our guide to the best iPad tablets.
The newest iPad Pro is the second-coolest product I tested all year, second only to the new M5-equipped Apple Vision Pro. It's remarkably thin and light. It's even thinner than the iPad Air and iPhone Air. It also features a true HDR-capable OLED display that's truly stunning. Even in direct sunlight, the display is crisp and bright. In fact, this display is so advanced that professional film editors can use it to watch final cuts of their footage.
Of course, the key phrase in the name iPad Pro is "Pro." Its M5 chip will be wasted on the average user. For professional artists, developers, AI professionals, and photo and video editors, it's a dream device.
For Black Friday, you can save $100 on the full retail price, paying just $899. That's actually a decent discount on a product that was just released a couple months ago.

Moon phase today: What the moon will look like on November 28See the moon phase expected for November 28, 2025 as well as when the next full moon is expected.
It's the First Quarter tonight, which means the Moon is half-illuminated and positioned 90 degrees from the Sun. This phase also marks the midpoint between the New Moon and the Full Moon.
As of Friday, Nov. 28, the moon phase is First Quarter. This means 53% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.
The moon is half full tonight, so there's at least half of it ready to be gazed at. So, what can you see when you look up? According to NASA, without any visual aids you should be able to spot the Vaporum, Tranquillitatis, and Serenitatis Mares. With binoculars you'll also be able to spot the Endymion and Alphonsus Craters as well as the Mare Nectaris. If you have a telescope, pull it out to try and catch a glimpse of the Apollo 15 and 17 landing spots, and the Descartes Highlands.
The next full moon will be on Dec. 4, which will be the last of three consecutive supermoons. The last full moon was on Nov. 5.
According to NASA, moon phases are what make up the lunar cycle, a repeating cycle that lasts around 29.5 days. These phases describe how the moon appears from Earth as it orbits our planet. We always see the same side of the moon, but the amount of sunlight illuminating it changes throughout its orbit. That’s why sometimes it looks full, sometimes half, and sometimes disappears entirely. There are eight moon phases:
New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
