Amazon's early Black Friday sales are here. Grab these good deals before they're sold out.

No, you’re not imagining it — we’re almost halfway through November, meaning the holidays are soon approaching. Of course, that also means Black Friday and Cyber Monday are upon us. As professional deal hunters, we’re always on the lookout for discounts worth your attention, and this weekend, Amazon is chock-full of them! Although officially beginning on November 19, Amazon’s sneakily jump-started some of its best early Black Friday sales. Below, we pulled the cream of the crop, aka, genuinely useful grabs worth nabbing at a discount. Below, you’ll find price drops on oral care, home needs and plenty more. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or getting a head start on holiday gifts, these are the deals worth checking out this week.

1.
Amazon

The legendary AirTags that, as one reviewer says, “saved me multiple times.” (29% off)

Apple loyalists, this one’s for you. At this point, you know how handy Apple’s AirTags are as a tiny yet must-have travel companion that helps keep track of all your must-haves. That said, Apple released the second generation of these nifty trackers at the top of 2026 — and right now, they’re up to 29% off. That actually makes the four-pack their lowest price EVER. AirTags can ping their own location, so when you attach them 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.

Bottom line: We have no idea how long this deal will last, but we can’t imagine it’ll be for much longer. We just can’t believe it’s happening so far ahead of Black Friday!

2.

My favorite socks in sock history (40% off w/ coupon)

Simply put, I ADORE these freakin’ socks. They’re thick enough to keep your feet cozy but they fit easily in any of my shoes (sneakers, boots, etc.). They’re my go-to socks the moment the temps dip. I’ve owned them for years and not a single sock has a hole in it.

Bottom line: They're already affordably priced, and today my favorite socks are $6 a pack. That’s $1.20 a pair, making these an instant cart drop for me. Just clip the on-page coupon for the deal

3.

A laser tool that gives 'salon quality' hair removal at a fraction of the price (up to 36% off)

Removing unwanted body hair is a thankless, repetitive chore that seems everending. While laser removal can be a more permanent option, treatments are pricey. It can also be really uncomfortable, with one Reddit user deeming the process “the single most painful thing I’ve ever endured.” If you’ve been looking for a long-lasting way to deal with unwanted hair, but don’t want to break the bank, writhing in pain or even leave your house — we spotted a highly-rated, cooling hair-removal tool from Ubroo, starting at $68, depending on the color. (Blue gives you the best deal.) According to our price trackers, that’s up to 36% off. Reviewers call it “salon quality permanent hair removal at a fraction of the price,” offering results with “no pain” — to you or your wallet.

Bottom line: Grab this on-sale laser tool today, and you'll skip visiting waxing salons later!

Amazon

A FULLY decorated pop-up Christmas tree that does the hard work for you (27% off)

The holiday season is upon us, which means most of us will be busy doing all the holly jolly things. That said, there are some things you can cut back on just to save on time and energy. Case en pointe: A pre-lit faux pop-up Christmas tree that’ll save your back and your time. This thing is the size of a decent wreath, but it pops up fully decorated in a setup that, per reviewers, feels like they hit the holiday jackpot; they’re reporting that it takes them 10 minutes tops to get up?! While Amazon’s got it labeled as being only 11% off, our trackers are clocking its regular price is really $110, so it’s secretly sitting at a 27% discount!

Bottom line: It’s under $80, which is way cheaper than you’ll find at the tree farm.

5.

A mattress pad 'handcrafted by the lord himself' (31% off)

We don’t think we’ve ever witnessed people wax poetic about a mattress pad the way they do this gem hiding out on Amazon. Whether they experience back or hip pain, stiffness or general mattress discomfort — the people have spoken. And according to them, the mattress topper from the Niagara Sleep Solutions store on Amazon is straight-up “HEAVEN,” “must have been handcrafted by the Lord himself,” “the purest form of comfort” and “honestly the best purchase I’ve made in years.” And today, the fluffy bamboo pad is under $40!

Bottom line: Perhaps the MOST beloved mattress pad we've ever covered is finally under $40 again!

These HuffPost editor-approved Kasa smart plugs (30% off)

These Kasa smart plugs have passed the test of former HuffPost editor Janie Campbell and so many others, given their tens of thousands of 5-star ratings. They’re easy to set up and you can set schedules or timers to turn household devices on or off so they’re not left running all the time. These also work with Google Home voice control in addition to Alexa, and also have their own Kasa app so you can control your devices remotely even if you’re not home. Even better? Singles, 2-packs and 4-packs are all currently on sale for up to 30% off in Amazon’s lot of early Black Friday sales.

Bottom line: According to our price trackers, this is the lowest price they’ve been all year, so we suggest acting fast.

7.

A hair repair mask that reviewers swear by for restoring hair loss (18% off)

If your hair has changed with medications, weight loss, menopause or your strands have been damaged from coloring and hot tools — you may wonder what you can do to upgrade your haircare routine for repairs. Before you spend a ton on your next get-thick-quick scheme, you may want to consider an under-$30 deep conditioning keratin hair mask from Marée. Reviewers deem it the “best product I’ve tried by a long shot” that brings “soft, shiny, smooth hair, like I just stepped out of the salon.” People also say this will probably be the last one you’ll buy. A shopper in their 60s even called it their “best purchase of the year,” adding, “my hair has not looked or felt like this in decades.” To sweeten the deal even more.

Bottom line: It’s currently 18% off, the lowest this in-demand gem has been in weeks. This is a super grab!

8.

The Philips Sonicare 4100 Power electric toothbrush (32% off)

According to Philips Sonicare, this electric sonic toothbrush can remove up to five times more plaque than manual brushing, even in harder-to-reach places like along the gum line and in between teeth. It features two intensity settings and also indicates how long you should spend brushing each area to avoid over-brushing. A pressure sensor notifies you when you are pressing too hard, making this a great option for people with gums that are sensitive or prone to recession. Hit the coupon to bring the sale up to 32% off.

Promising review: "Life-changing is an overused marketing buzzword, but this thing has been exactly that for me. It reversed my periodontal disease. It has saved me thousands in costly dental work. It has made my hygienist the single most bored woman on the planet, because there is simply no plaque or tartar left to clean, to the point my dentist said I only need to come in yearly as opposed to the usual every 6 months. This removes plaque and tartar that a manual toothbrush can't. I don't care how good your technique is. I don't even care if you're an actual dentist using a manual toothbrush. It cannot and does not remove as much plaque as this electric toothbrush does. Did I mention the battery life is amazing? I travel for a living. Sometimes for weeks at a time. This thing lasts me 24+ brushes on a single charge. Cannot recommend enough." — C

Bottom line: As one happy shopper says, “this electric toothbrush has everything I need and thankfully, nothing more.”

9.

A machine-washable, super snug and warm blanket (23% off)

Ugg may be known for the premium coziness of its sheepskin-lined boots but the brand has a hidden gem we must put on your radar: A machine-washable, faux fur throw blanket that allows you to engulf yourself in superior softness and warmth. But that’s not all: according to our price trackers, this soft, snuggly blanket is currently 24% off.

Bottom line: Reviewers call it “the softest blanket I’ve ever had,” and “like a cozy hug.” And if you grab one now on sale today, you can save money and snuggle under it to ride out the rest of fall and winter.

10.
Amazon

A body lotion reviewers love for addressing crepey skin (15% off)

Created with exfoliating glycolic alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), hydrating glycerin and skin-softening lanolin, this fragrance-free, daily lotion is helping reviewers smooth and soothe their dry, crepey skin. Even better? According to our price trackers (and the Alpha Skin website), it usually goes for $22. Right now, it’s $19, meaning it’s currently 15% off when you hit the coupon.

Bottom line: Reviewers call it “magic in a bottle,” a formula that brings “50-year-old skin back to looking and feeling like a 20-year-old,” per one reviewer.

11.

A ‘life-changing’ bra for posture (up to 30% off)

If you’re looking to improve your posture or general boob-related back pain, there’s an everyday fix you may be missing: a posture-supporting bra. As experts have previously said, these specially designed garments can “help to reinforce good posture and prevent bad posture.” They’re so good, Taylor Swift purportedly wore a (*very* expensive) one while rehearsing for her 2023-2024 Eras Tour. While Taylor’s bra is currently on sale, we found a *significantly* more affordable option at Amazon — with an extra 30% coupon.

Bottom line: According to our price trackers, this rarely goes on sale, so we suggest acting fast.

12.
Dyson

Dyson V9 cordless vacuum cleaner (55% off list price)

Um, this Dyson is over half off. You heard us: this coveted cordless vacuum that’s lightweight and easy to carry around the house can be used on floors, furniture and ceilings. A single charge will give you 40 minutes of cleaning time, and it has famously strong suction for sucking up fur, dust, crumbs, dirt and everything else. The vacuum also has whole-machine filtration that sucks in allergens and finer dust as well, helping the air stay fresh in your home. Dyson’s easy-empty design also means you can release all the gross stuff you’ve sucked up with only the touch of a button into the trash can, keeping your hands clean, too.

The V9’s versatile design allows it to transform into a small handheld vacuum for stairs, cars and countertops, or you can easily use it on ceilings, baseboards and other hard-to-reach places,. Along with the vacuum itself, you’ll get the de-tangling motorbar, a cleaner head designed for pet hair that won’t get all tangled or clogged, a combination cleaning tool with a wide nozzle and brush perfect for cleaning your car, a crevice tool and a docking station where it also charges. Get it for 55% off.

Bottom line: We doubt it’s going to get any cheaper, so if you’ve been eyeing a vacuum upgrade, grab it now.

13.
Amazon

A “germaphobe must-have” spray fogger (15% off)

This spray fogger evenly disperses disinfectant solution over surfaces, helping you maintain a clean, sterile environment at home, in your vehicle or around the office. This “germaphobe must-have” is a game-changer for home cleaning, helping disinfect those hard-to-reach areas with a simple trigger. It’s rechargeable, easy to refill, features a blue light to ensure you’re spraying where you need, and, best of all, it’s what one reviewer says is “the best way to fight sickness at home.” Just clip that on-page coupon to get one at the lowest price possible.

Bottom line: Flu season is coming, and you’ll be glad you have this.

Amazon

A foot massager one shopper calls “the gateway to heaven” (19% off)

Whether you’ve got plantar fasciitis, spend all day working on your feet or just feel like your heels could use some TLC, a massager can do you some good. We found one that kneads your feet that reviewers call “the gateway to heaven,” and it’s on sale for 19% off! With a small incline and a compact build, it’s a tiny upgrade that many reviewers say is “perfect for tired, achy feet,” all without taking up too much space. This little machine has several modes, whether you prefer gua sha, shiatsu kneading or a more traditional massage. It has six massage heads and 54 rotating massage nodes, helping break up tension and soothe tender feet.

Bottom line: The gadget is also toe-operated, so no need to bend over!

15.

A charger to power up your phone, AirPods and Apple Watch in record time (18% off)

This 3-in-1 MagSafe charger is equal parts a charger, phone stand and an optional nightlight. It’s also beloved by people juggling endless cords or forgetful folks always losing their stuff. “I should have bought this long ago,” shopper J Long shared about theirs. “Instead, I just kept complaining about the three separate cords running across the nightstand. It works perfectly and helps with the declutter.”

People love that it’s an organized one-stop shop for so much of their grab-and-go tech. Their reviews are singing its praises for the quality features like a strong magnet, a “sturdy” base that makes video calls easy to conduct, and a surprisingly fast charging time despite how many devices it juices up simultaneously.

Folks are scooping it up in multiples for the different color options and, of course, so they can keep them in different rooms or take one to their office. The black option happens to be on sale for 18% off if you’re fast enough.

Bottom line: One charging station for 3 devices plus a nightlight with a 3-year warranty for under $20? A STEAL.

16.
Amazon

The Blueair 511i Max air purifier (36% off)

Former HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian (and a whole lot of HuffPost readers) own this HEPA air purifier and love it. It helps quickly clear Zovickian's bedroom air of pet dander, smog and pollen, and she loves being able to toggle between its four modes when she needs lighter or heavier-duty purifying. It also "reads" the air quality and turns its display different colors to indicate whether your air quality is excellent, good, moderate, polluted or very polluted. The deciding factor for Zovickian, however, was "the affordability of its replacement filters, which make this model a cost-effective option for the long term.” Get it for 36% off.

Bottom line: Reviewers say it's “worth every penny” for keeping their spaces feeling fresh.

17.
Amazon

Apple’s MagSafe charger (20% off)

Apple purists and non-purists alike are going to want to listen up. The official Apple MagSafe charger is on sale for $30 on Amazon right now and at Walmart. That’s a 20% discount. This little gadget has a 1-meter cord and wirelessly charges those pocketable Apple devices (with the exception of the AirPods 4) just by setting it on its dock.

Several users say the Apple MagSafe charger provides fast wireless charging, and its magnetic backing ensures that Apple products snap into alignment when docked. It’s not bulky, either; this is just a 1-meter cord that can plug into your MacBook or a USB-C port and a small charging hub fit for iPhone 12 up to the latest iPhone 16 and any Apple AirPods with charging cases, excluding the AirPods 4.

Bottom line: This discount surely only sticking around for a limited time, given how often this thing sells out.

18.

Some candles for the fall season (up to 33% off)

If you’re looking for some scents for the fall, WoodWick is secretly on sale right now on Amazon! You can nab three scents for up to 33% off right now, and each will give you that nice, sweet spice you associate with the season.

19.
Amazon

Origins Plantscription Serum (30% off)

Right now, Origins’ Plantscription Youth Serum is 30% off on Amazon and Ulta — and users absolutely love it for reducing the visibility of fine lines. Our price trackers say it hasn’t been this low since June! Take it from one user in their 60s: “Lots of products SAY they help with fine lines and wrinkles. THIS product really does!”

The plant-forward brand says it uses several natural ingredients, and its label doesn’t lie. According to Ultra’s listing, the Plantscription Youth Serum contains a six-peptide blend, which helps relax expression lines, and niacinamide, which is a potent form of vitamin B that can reduce the appearance of pores and boost skin moisture.

Bottom line: It’s a heck of a markdown on a luxury product.

20.

An all-in-one toaster oven/air fryer that’ll replace every gadget in your kitchen (40% off)

Deemed a “total game changer in the kitchen” by practically everyone who owns it, Ninja’s 8-in-1 toaster oven is a whopping 40% off right now at Amazon, the lowest price it’s been since last December! It can roast, air fry and even make pizza. But its best feature? Its ability to flip upright when it’s not in use, saving you precious kitchen counter space. And at today’s price, it’s worth checking out what one user calls “incredibly versatile for everything from crispy snacks to full meals.”

Bottom line: This space-saving kitchen device is the LOWEST price it’s been since last December!

21.
Amazon

Amazon

A smaller, funky warmer with aromatherapy discs (16% off)

How fun is this midcentury modern-looking warmer with its three wooden legs? It has a 12-liter capacity that can fit one large towel, if you don't want something so giant taking up space in your bathroom, and the auto-shutoff timer can go all the way up to 90 minutes. This warmer also includes scent discs for aromatherapy, to add a lovely fragrance to your towels that'll make wrapping yourself in them that much nicer. According to our price trackers, this is closer to 16% off.

Promising review: "Honestly the SereneLife Towel Warmer is ridiculously easy to use! I mean "setup" involved me popping the legs in that's it If you can handle three clicks you can handle this. The real win is the timer. Just throw your robe or towel in hit the 30-minute setting and forget about it. When you get out it's perfect. The best part is it stays hot long after the timer quits. It even has a lock on the lid in case you have little ones or pets that might be a little nosey." — Amii Gordon

Bottom line: A daily at-home spa luxury for under $70? Yes, please!

23.

A pod coffee maker that rivals your local cafe (22% off)

Pod coffees offer a convenience unlike any other — pop a pod into your chosen coffee maker, press a button and you’ve got delicious bean water in no time. But it’s hard to find that perfect cup with a consistently rich, amazing flavor. That’s where Nespresso comes in. According to several reviewers, Nespresso delivers an incredible cup with the Vertuo Pop+, the brand’s smallest and most colorful pod machine to date. One reviewer says it brews “literally Starbucks quality” coffee, while another says it helped them cut down on morning coffee trips and save extra cash.

Bottom line: If you’re looking to harness the power of your local coffee shop at home, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ is on sale right now at nearly 22% off!

24.

The PURR-fect office chair for you and a little friend (20% off)

This recliner is fit not just for you, but for that kitty of yours. If you have a close feline friend who loves to perch next to you, this chair has an armrest that opens up to become a small cushion for them. It has a leg rest so you can lie back, plus it’s on wheels, so it’s suitable for desk and office work. Keep your company close while you work, play or relax.

Promising review: “This chair is amazing. I have had it for about 8 months now. i bought it because it has the fold down arms and I have two small dogs who both wanted to sit on my office chair with me and we were getting quite cramped. Now I can have one dog on each side and its super easy to get up and down now without having to remove them and then pick them up again. The dogs love it too. The chair is very ergonomic. super cushy and comfy. I love the foot rest and the fact that it’s optional. I can either use it or not. I never have issues with my back for sitting on it for too long. Very well made. Couldn’t recommend it more! If I could give it six stars I would.” — Tracy

Bottom line: This chair is made for two if you’ve got a cat (or dog) who loves being close by. Clip the on-page coupon, and grab it for the lowest price it’s been in weeks!

25.

A health tracker that actually looks stylish and non-descript (29% off)

Everyone’s wearing an Oura ring nowadays. If you’ve met someone who owns this wearable fitness tracker, it’s easy to see why. Just ask HuffPost editorial director of life and commerce Kristen Aiken, who swears the Oura ring clocked that she was sick ahead of her experiencing more obvious symptoms. “Not only is it sleek enough not to disturb my sleep, but it can track things my old Apple Watch never dreamed of,” she says. “Last time I had a cold, for instance, my Oura ring knew I was sick before I even did — it detected that my body temperature was slightly higher than usual, and within a day, a full-blown sinus cold hit me hard.”

Yes, it’s true: The Oura ring is really that smart and so many reviewers credit it with alerting them ahead of COVID-19, a UTI, upcoming menstruation cycles and more. The health-tracking device is a minimalist’s dream compared to a smartwatch, using sensors to track your sleep health, heart rate, workouts, activity levels, and body temperature just through wear.

Bottom line: The Oura Ring 4 is at its lowest price in months! Not a bad investment if you’re looking to track your health.

26.

A compact popcorn maker that can pop kernels in no time (16% off)

This 16-cup popcorn maker is an easy way to make a snack at home with a minimal footprint. Instead of relying on oil and a lidded pot, you can just dump those kernels into its chamber and let the hot air pop them in just a few minutes. It’s easy to clean, too, with a lid that comes off so you can wipe and dump those crumbs away.

Bottom line: This oil-free popcorn maker is just $21, and reviewers call it “so much better than my microwave.”

27.
Amazon

A tiny space heater for keeping that space toasty and comfy (up to 20% off)

Depending on where you live, early November can be an awkward in-between time when it’s hard to know what the weather will do. If you’re not ready to crank the full heat in your home or if you suddenly get a chill — we found a portable, “smart” space heater that “kicks out some serious heat” despite its compact size.

Bottom line: Last winter, HuffPost readers loved the 10-inch, small model, which goes for well under $40, though if you’re looking for even more power, the medium and large models are currently a hot 20% off.
