Best Black Friday Apple deal
Why we like it
The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a record-low price of $749 for Black Friday this year. This is our favorite laptop for students, thanks to its M4 silicon and slim design. This markdown is so good that even if it does happen to drop lower for Cyber Monday (and we're not counting on it), you still score a great deal without waiting for shopping chaos later this week.

Best Black Friday headphones deal
Why we like it
Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 1) headphones.
The Bose QC Ultra headphones have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. Even though Bose recently replaced them with a new Gen 2 model, the originals are still an excellent value for your money — especially at the record low price of $299.

Best Black Friday robot vacuum deal
Why we like it
Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart sees Narwal's newest robot vacuum mop combo as a dupe for the $1,599.99 Roborock Saros 10R, our favorite robot vacuum of the year. Its edge cleaning is comparable thanks to dual spinning mopping pads that flex out from under the vacuum to scrub in corners and along walls. When mopping, the Freo Z10 Ultra ensures that it does a thorough job by taking a before-and-after picture of the spill, going back for another pass if necessary. The livestream pet camera is a bonus for homes with pets.

Best Black Friday TV deal
Why we like it
"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 its 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

Best Black Friday kitchen deal
Why we like it
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 $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.)

Best Black Friday home deal
Why we like it
The best Black Friday deal for the home is at Brooklinen. Right now, the brand is offering 25% off across its products. 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.

Best Black Friday power station deal
Why we like it
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.

Best Black Friday outdoor deal
Why we like it
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 Sundome tent. This four-person tent is weatherproof, designed to block out wind and rain, and keep you dry. It's down to $78.99 ahead of Black Friday, saving you $39 for 33% off its list price of $117.99.

More Black Friday deals from Amazon
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.

More Black Friday deals from Walmart
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.
More Black Friday deals from Best Buy
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.
Latest Updates
Save $1,000 on the LG 65-inch G5 OLED 4K TV at Amazon — score the best-ever price for Black Friday.
We're keeping a close eye on the best TV deals to drop over Black Friday. We've found new low prices on OLED and QLED TVs from top brands like Samsung, Hisense, and TCL, but what if the best deal was staring at us all along?
The LG 65-inch G5 OLED 4K TV is on sale for $1,996.99 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's $1,000 off and the lowest-ever price for this model. This low price was actually live before Black Friday. Should we ignore it in that case? Absolutely not. This record-low price is still really impressive for a TV that offers so many advanced features.
Have you considered shopping for refurbs this Black Friday?
This refurbished M2 MacBook Air is only $499.99 at Best Buy. According to Haley Henschel, Mashable's resident MacBook expert, this "gets you a bit more power, a nicer 1080p webcam, a slightly sleeker design, and a slightly bigger/brighter display compared to Walmart's M1 model."

The first expansion for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, is now in the wild and trainers are going mad for it. The beautiful thing about this set is seeing more stock floating around in general. Hopefully this is a sign of Pokémon TCG being printed into oblivion, which should in turn put scalpers off and we can enjoy collecting and playing.
Big box retailers are slowly getting the message, with the Phantasmal Flames Booster box $10 cheaper than market value right now in the Amazon Black Friday sale. Read more here.

We're still patiently waiting for some of the heavy hitters to drop their annual Cyber Week deals, but since Amazon's official Black Friday sale kicked off on Nov. 20, Prime Video add-on streaming deals are already live. HBO Max has also thrown its hat in the ring, as have Disney+ and Hulu.
Here's a list of some of our favorite Prime Video add-ons:
We've added two additional deals on smartwatches to this guide, both of which are new releases. These smartwatches were tested (and loved) by Mashable's reviewers. We loved the Nothing watch for its low price, AMOLED display, and long battery life, while the Pixel Watch 4 shines as an Android and running smartwatch.
We've added one of the latest doorbuster TV deals from Best Buy. While it's in stock, you can pick up the TCL 55-inch F35-Series 4K HDR LED Smart Fire TV (2025) for just $169.99. This is an absurdly low price on a 55-inch, 2025 model TV, and we do expect this one to sell out.
Target is running gift card deals where you can save up to 20% or receive a free gift card with qualifying purchases.

There are so many deals to consider over Black Friday, but Apple deals deserve their moment in the spotlight. There's no other brand that gets the people going like Apple, and the good news is that Black Friday has already delivered record lows on MacBooks, AirPods, iPads, and much more.
The 2024 Apple Mac Mini is on sale for just $479 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's $120 off its list price.
We consider the Oura Ring 4 the best overall smart ring, with Mashable's Samantha Mangino saying it's, "the most comfortable, accurate, and well-designed smart ring we've tested." Amazon has knocked $150 off the price of this Oura Ring 4, dropping it from $499 to $349. That's the lowest-ever price at Amazon.

The second-generation Anker Solix C1000 power station is down to under $350 at Amazon, and we've named it the best Black Friday deal on power stations so far.
Apple deals always make a big impression over Black Friday, but a record-low price on the brand-new AirPods? That's an absolute steal that we can't ignore. Amazon launched its Black Friday sale on Nov. 20 and dropped prices on these new Apple earbuds. It's not a huge discount, but it's the lowest price for these buds yet.
The DJI Mic Mini is one of those products that we keep a particularly close eye on. Mashable readers seems to absolutely love it and it goes on sale a lot. That's a recipe for success, so we make sure we're the first to tell you about any new price drops.

While it isn’t the brightest TV available, its mini-LED backlight enables deep black levels for excellent contrast, its colors are wide and accurate, and it's packed with features for streaming and gaming." That's more than enough for us, especially at this record-breaking price.

Frequently Asked Questions
This year, Black Friday falls on Nov. 28, and as per usual, it starts promptly at midnight on Thanksgiving. However, in the past few years, the biggest big box retailers have started launching their sales weeks in advance of the holiday weekend. In fact, some retailers no longer offer in-store shopping at midnight at all. So, while some doorbusters will only be available on Nov. 28, you can shop most of the deals early.
Cyber Monday takes place on Monday, Dec. 1 in 2025.
This year, the official Amazon Black Friday sale started on Nov. 20 and runs through Cyber Monday on Dec. 1. However, Amazon will almost certainly save some deals for Black Friday itself. Typically, Amazon puts new deals live at midnight on the West Coast, so if you are shopping on Black Friday, expect Amazon's sale to start at 12:01 PST on Friday, Nov. 28. However, the Everything Store will certainly drop plenty of early deals before then.
For 2025, Walmart has promised to bring back "its biggest lineup of deals — including thousands of gifts under $20 and up to 60% off top-brands." Here's the official schedule for the retailer's Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale:
Walmart Black Friday Deals, Event 1: Nov. 14 to 16
Walmart Black Friday Deals, Event 2: Nov. 25-30
Walmart Cyber Monday Deals: Dec. 1
Target kicked off holiday shopping extra early this year, with "special deals dropping daily Nov. 1 through Dec. 24. Each week until Christmas, Target will be launching a new round of deals every Sunday.
If Target launched its Black Friday sale extra early, then Best Buy started its sale extra-extra early. Or, as Best Buy said in a press release, it put the creep in "holiday creep" by launching its sale on Halloween. Here's the full schedule of Best Buy's Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday sales:
Door BOOster sales: Oct. 31
New Best Buy doorbusters every Friday: Starts Oct. 31
Early Black Friday deals: Oct. 31 to Nov. 19
Black Friday Sale: Nov. 20 to 29
Cyber Sunday & Monday: Nov. 30 to Dec. 1
Last-Minute Savings: Dec. 15 to 24
Unfortunately, price matching isn't as common as it used to be. In recent years, Target has been the only major retailer to offer price matching, though even the Bullseye brand has changed things up for Black Friday 2025. (Womp, womp.) This year, Target is offering a Holiday Price Match Guarantee, but only for its own prices. So, if you buy something at Target and the price goes down later in the holiday season, you can contact Target to get the lower price.
