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

The Apple MacBook Air is a stunning laptop, powered by the blazing-fast M5 chip. If you own a MacBook that’s a few generations behind, you’ll instantly notice a difference in the speakers and cameras, not to mention Siri AI. In the weeks leading up to Black Friday, this popular laptop is getting $200 off, bringing it to its lowest price in almost six months. It’s also the best price we’ve seen since Apple raised its prices over the summer.

We consider ourselves Kindle experts and have eagerly tested all the new Kindle e-readers released by Amazon this fall. Even if the new Kindles just is out, you can already get the base model and the new Kindle Click page turner in a discounted bundle. BookTok has been waiting a long time for a real Kindle page-turning accessory, and we’re big fans.
If you’re not interested in the Kindle Click, we expect all new Kindles to get their first real discounts at the start of Black Friday, so you may want to add them to your cart and wait until November 27th.

This 4-in-1 countertop appliance actually comes with two glass containers, the perfect size for easy storage. We’ve had some really good experiences with Ninja appliances over the past few years, and this particular air fryer has become a favorite of the Mashable team.

We love Pokémon. We love Lego. Bringing them together just makes sense, especially as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. Legos are always popular holiday gifts for kids and adults, and we’re predicting some big Black Friday Lego deals. The season leading up to Black Friday is also a great time to order Lego Advent calendars.
