There’s still a stash of leftover Halloween candy, but it’s time to start thinking about holiday shopping. Amazon’s early Black Friday deals are coming in hot this year, and since everything feels expensive lately, it’s a great time to shop sales.
Shop for home improvement updates for winter projects, treat yourself to an Advent calendar or two, or get a 75-inch TV for watching this season’s best football games. Amazon is also loaded with sales on gift-worthy items, so you can take care of your holiday list before Thanksgiving arrives.
Check back as the Mashable team of shopping experts will keep this page updated as we get closer to Black Friday.

Why we like it
Sitting at the sale prices we saw during October Prime Day, both the 13 and 15-inch MacBook Air with M5 chip are $200 off. The Air is a great choice if you’re looking for a combination of powerful processor and lightweight design. We’re also impressed with the MacBook Air’s speakers, not to mention the sharp display.

Best kitchen deal
Why we like it
Mashable awarded the Ninja Crispi as the best kitchen gift of 2026. Air fryers have proven they deserve space on the kitchen counters but Ninja went ahead and added glass containers, and now we’re cooking everything in the Crispi. The 4-in-1 model comes with two glass containers that nest inside of each other for easier storage when not using the air fryer.
