These Tech Products Are On Major Sale Ahead Of Black Friday — And They're Perfect For Gifting

Tired eyes aren't just from a lack of sleep — they can also be from tech fatigue and blue screens. Get this eye mask for someone who has a knack for skin care and would love an easy lift. This LED red light therapy eye mask from Lumin is a cool piece of gadgetry, using NASA-developed tech to refresh eyes, reduce puffiness and help revive dark circles. It does this with 80 tiny, light-emitting diodesthat shine concentrated red lights against the skin. Oh, and it just takes 3 minutes a day to use. That's a time-saving upgrade!

Promising review: “I recently gifted this to my boyfriend and he's been using it every day! It's the perfect little un-winding moment at the end of the day. He spends a lot of time in the sun so he wanted to try something to prevent wrinkles from forming around his eyes and has been SO happy with the results. Great gift idea for the man that has 'everything'!” — Sierra S.

JBL's keychain earbuds routinely get praise for being a more convenient option than Apple AirPods and they're 40% off right now through November 29. Reviewers say they fit the ears comfortably, sound excellent for music and calls and are a lightweight addition to their keyring.

Promising review: “I almost never leave reviews, but these JLab JBuds deserve it. For the price, you’re not going to find a better pair of earbuds—period. I own AirPods Pro 2 and use them regularly at the gym, but honestly, the sound quality on these surprised me—they’re just as good, maybe even better in some ways, especially considering how affordable they are. I specifically bought these to use while riding my Harley, and they’ve been perfect for that. They sit flush in my ears and don’t bother me at all under a tight motorcycle helmet. That was a huge win. I even tested them on a phone call during a ride, and the person on the other end said they could hear me clearly. No complaints there. They paired super easily with my phone, no fuss. If you’re looking for a cheap, high-quality option that works great under a helmet or in the gym, these are it. Highly recommend." — Roman C.

If listening to soothing white noise, ASMR or binaural beats sends you off to dreamland, this soft headphone band can be far more comfortable to wear than hard plastic earbuds that fall out of your ear while you sleep.

The wireless, rechargeable sleep headphones have over 35,000 5-star reviews on Amazon and offer up to 10 hours of listening per charge. The ultra-thin over-ear speakers can also help block out ambient noise. Plus, the soft mesh-lined band is also machine washable.

Heads up: Amazon's got this listed as a 44% off deal, but it's usually around $15.99 which makes the savings more like 20% for Prime members only. That said, the discount drops this to an under-$15 find for a very convenient and fun piece of tech. Plus, it matches the lowest price this has ever been on sale for so we consider this a good Black Friday deal.

Promising review: "Great for sleeping. I purchased the headband to be able to listen to music comfortably at night to not wake my partner. The headband is very comfortable and great for listening to music when sleeping or even for everyday use. It is easy to use and does not have a light activated when on like other headsets I have which is great. 100% worth it and I wish I purchased this sooner." — Destiny M.

Why buy a smart bulb when you can buy a smart lamp instead? This floor lamp is a tall, 55-inch vertical light bar that illuminates corners and brightens rooms, all with its built-in Wi-Fi connection and smartphone app. It works like a smart bulb does, so you can still set it on a schedule and its own routine, but it also has AI tech that syncs up with music or room sounds, if you'd like your color to coordinate a mood or vibe. It also works with Google and Alexa voice assistants, so you'll never need to flip a switch again. Get it for 42% off now through December!

Promising review: “I loved it, I was actually a bit skeptical but its brightness is strong enough to light up a large room. I definitely recommend it. Plus, it’s compatible with Alexa and Google Home. It has very useful features like color combinations based on your mood or a specific event such as yoga, workout, meditation, party, etc.” — Daniela Hess

Promising review: “The fit for this worked out well. I used a sizer at Best Buy. This has been very helpful for me to learn more about my sleeping habits. I’ve been able to make adjustments that have really changed my energy levels. It’s also been very validating on days when I feel exhausted and my ring reflect this back to me. The charge for me is about 3 days. I’m tracking so many interesting things like how caffeine impacts my stress, or reading before bed impacts my sleep. I’m getting clear on my menstrual cycle which has been hard due to my autoimmune disease, It’s expensive and I think I’m getting my moneys worth.” — Katherine

One of the simplest ways to make your home feel more high-tech is by adding smart plugs to your outlets. These nifty gadgets let you automate an old-school coffee maker, set your lights to a schedule or control electronics with simple voice commands. Well, good news if you’re looking for that easy upgrade: Amazon Smart Plugs are up to 52% off right now as part of Amazon’s massive early Black Friday sale. Reviewers call this a “no-brainer” purchase, saying that they’re so easy, “it’s almost impossible to mess up this installation.”

Just plug in, pair with a smartphone app and you’re good to go. According to so many reviewers, these plugs are surprisingly easy to use. Plug one in, open the Alexa app on your smartphone and it’ll automatically pair itself to your Wi-Fi.

Listen: You don't need an Apple Watch if you want a smartwatch to monitor your health. As someone who personally owns the CMF Watch 3 Pro by Nothing, I can wholeheartedly say that. This affordable smartwatch is only $80 right now, which is an absolute steal for what it can do: accept Bluetooth calls on the go; track your sleep, heart rate and stress levels; use GPS navigation and tracking; read the morning news, and so much more! It also comes with 130+ pre-loaded exercise modes, so you can track your fitness whether you're swimming, playing soccer or practicing yoga. It's thin, lightweight and so dang useful. Plus, it can last up to 13 days on a single battery charge. Grab it in one of four colors, and don't miss out on this deal!

Promising review: “I've been a huge fan of Nothing for a while now, so I wanted to check out this watch from their CMF division. After using this Watch 3 for a while now I’m honestly impressed with how good it is for the price. The design is modern, lightweight, and comfortable enough to wear all day, even when sleeping. The display is bright and sharp, making it easy to see outdoors, and the menus are smooth with no lag.
The Energy Score feature has been really helpful, it combines your sleep, activity, and recovery into one easy number, which actually makes it easier to understand how your body is doing day-to-day. Heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and GPS all work well and feel reliable, especially during workouts.
Bluetooth calling is clear, and it’s surprisingly convenient to answer calls hands-free. And the companion app is clean, easy to navigate, and shows your health stats in a way that’s simple to understand without being overly complicated. It syncs quickly too, which is a big plus.
Battery life has been excellent, easily lasting multiple days per charge. With 130+ sport modes and compatibility with both Android and iOS, it offers a ton of flexibility.
If you want a smartwatch that looks great, performs well, and doesn’t come with a heavy price tag, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!” — JRRinBoston

Not only does this wireless linen charging tray look good, but it's also super functional. Despite the higher price point, it's definitely worth the splurge for someone who wants to add a refined, elegant vibe to their dorm room while also utilizing the catchall space to stay organized. This is a wonderful product to stray away from those usual plastic-y tech eyesores. It quickly charges up iPhones and AirPods with ease, with room to spare for keys and more!

Gamesir's ergonomic and super comfy Xbox controller is wired and easy — just plug into a PC, Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, and you're good to go. It also features Hall joysticks and Hall triggers, which means longer service life, better accuracy and virtually no drifting. Reviewers seriously love this thing, with many saying its Hall features are more than “worthy of hype.”

This retro-inspired gaming peripheral is a storage solution for charging up controllers, plus it has a dock for resting a headset and a small compartment for charging cables, memory cards and more. It's made of wood, too, to give it a distinct texture over the typical smooth plastic we associate with games.

Physical books are great and all, but wouldn’t it be nice to carry them without the weight? Or better yet, what if you could take your entire library anywhere? The Amazon Kindle offers exactly that with a convenience that got one user to call it their “ultimate e-reader for every book lover.” The famous e-reader still dominates the market due to its lengthy battery life, supreme lightweight, anti-glare and ample 16 GB storage.

Right now, you can grab the Kindle Paperwhite, the premium version of the regular OG Kindle with a fully waterproof body, a 7-inch screen (compared to the original’s 6-inch) and a whopping 12-week battery life, on sale at 24% off its typical price — one of the year’s lowest prices and a genuinely good discount, as this model rarely ever goes on sale.

Don’t want the Paperwhite? Well, the OG Kindle is also on sale for 27% off — the lowest price it’s been in history.

A great gift for workers who take frequent meetings, this audio recorder has a mic the size of a coin and automatically transcribes audio when paired with its smartphone app. The device uses cloud services to immediately transcribe recordings and promises that those files are entirely encrypted for storage. It also gives you summaries, plus smart options for templates to give you structured reports. It's like having an assistant! This deal is good through December 1 so grab it before the it ends or it goes out of stock.

This wireless, waterproof speaker has a lot of fans, with over 109,000 5-star ratings on Amazon. The battery lasts for 24 hours of playtime, and one reviewer noted that the sound was "surprisingly full and warm for such a small speaker." It also has intuitive, user-friendly controls with five large, raised buttons on the top, and comes in five colors (though the only under-$30 is on the classic black).

(P.S. If you're worried about the voluntary recall on an Anker Soundcore speaker last year, fret not — the Soundcore 2 was not included.)

With all this tariff talk, we're shocked to see a PlayStation 5 on sale for Black Friday — and at the year's lowest price, no less. The digital edition of the PlayStation 5 is a slimmer model than the OG version, cutting the fat off this powerful gaming console and giving it 1 TB of storage space. (That's a lot of room.) Gift this to someone who wants to catch up on Sony classics with remasters of “The Last of Us” and “Uncharted,” or get one for yourself to boot up Fortnite and game with friends online.

That beloved audiophile of yours would love one of these bad boys from Sonos. The Era 100 is an incredible Alexa-enabled smart speaker that connects to any of your favorite streaming services via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, or even an aux cord.

Promising review: “I love my Sonos era 100s! I purchased these as rear speakers for my surround sound set up. Sonos came recommended and I really didn’t know anything about them until I did some research. They sound AMAZING as does my Sonos sound bar and sub mini. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! These were a little on the higher end of what I wanted to pay, but I don’t regret making the purchase after hearing them! And, talk about high-end packaging! That’s something that typically wouldn’t make an hill of beans difference to me but it just goes to show the high quality of this company in general.” — cbc

You know what's cheaper than a car collision? A dash cam. These small devices are essential for the modern world — if you ever get involved in a car accident, witness a hit-and-run or see any traffic shenanigans, you could have video proof of it. That can be useful for proving liability to insurance companies or capturing reckless drivers. So, it’s not a bad idea to invest in something that could potentially save you money in the long run. As one reviewer puts it: This camera was “a cheap witness for an expensive apocalypse.”

Promising review: “I finally upgraded to the 70mai A810 after using my old Yi Dashcam from 2014, and wow — what a difference. I always thought 1080p was “good enough” until I saw the 4K footage from a friend’s A810. The clarity, detail, and wide coverage are on another level! It feels like I'm doing a 'drive vlog' with this. Both the front and rear cameras deliver sharp video, and what really surprised me is the night performance — headlights, street signs, and even license plates are clear in low-light conditions. The HDR makes driving in bright sun or dark roads look equally smooth. Setup was easy, the app is intuitive, and having front-and-rear coverage gives me extra peace of mind. Overall, this is a massive leap from older dash cams, and I can’t imagine going back.” — Amazonian Reviewer

Upgrade your workout, daily commute and general podcast listening with a pair of latest AirPods Pro 3 earbuds. With active noise cancellation and transparency mode, these AirPods can let you get totally absorbed in your music or let some noise through so you can be safe while out and about. The Pro 3 also claims to block 2x more unwanted noise than AirPods Pro 2 with its ANC, so you can stay fully immersed in the moment. They also, wildly, feature live translation for conversations in different languages! They're water- and sweat-resistant, so you can wear them in the rain or during a high-intensity jog. This is the lowest price these buds have ever been, which is amazing considering these just released on September 19, 2025.

Hidden inside this easy-to-install bird seed distributor is a 1080P high-resolution camera with night vision that streams a direct feed to your phone or other smart device so you can have a very close-up view (up to eight times magnification to be exact) of all the sky-bound wildlife in your area. Battery- or solar-powered, the Osoeri bird feeder supports a stable WifFi connection and also features AI technology that can identify more than 11,000 bird species.

Apple's AirTags are always, always an appropriate gift. Here’s how they work: Each AirTag can ping its own location, so when you attach it to one of your belongings, you can track that item via Apple’s Find My app, which is available in the cloud and on Apple devices like iPhones, laptops and more. Through Find My, you can even tell your AirTag to play a sound so it’s easier to find. These are great for keeping up with everything from your car to wallet to your luggage and even pets!
