How a Shopping Editor Can Make the Most of Amazon’s Early Black Friday Deals
Deals are already available
Amazon’s official Black Friday lead-up sale begins November 19, but shoppers can already find hundreds of markdowns. The current offers span fashion, beauty, technology and home products. The selection includes Dyson vacuums, Apple AirPods, Shark hair tools, Puma Speedcat sneakers and Tory Burch handbags. Deals may suit shoppers updating a fall wardrobe, replacing tech or getting a head start on gifts.
Some tech may sell out
Amazon’s Black Friday discounts often include headphones, televisions and laptops. In previous years, Apple products have sold out before the holiday, so existing markdowns could be worth considering early.
Samsung and Hisense art TVs are among the products included in the current lead-up deals. Kindles and Oura rings, however, are still full price.
Handbags offer gift options
Amazon’s sales also feature handbags from labels including Kate Spade and Vince. Options range from everyday shoulder bags and totes to smaller styles for parties. Some handbags are discounted by as much as 50 percent. They can make gifts, though shoppers may also choose to keep them for themselves.
