We scoured the Amazon Haul 1-cent sale and found the most useful items

Mashable - 5 hours 47 min ago

This Black Friday, Amazon Haul is having a "1-cent sale." You heard that right… a vast swath of products on Amazon are on sale for literally 1 cent. That said, the quality and usefulness of these items are admittedly very questionable. There are a lot of listings, some like this decorative pine tree pillow that says, "I like them real thick and sprucy" (what does that even mean?). If you spend $25 on Amazon Haul at once, though, you can unlock free shipping. This means you can buy items on Haul for more than .01 cents and add items from the 1-cent sale to get free shipping. I imagine it would be hard to buy 2,500 things on Amazon Haul 1-cent sale to earn free shipping alone. Plus, there is a limit of 3 of each item per customer.

Amazon Haul is a subset of Amazon dedicated to extremely reduced-price options (usually under $20 and often under $10), with non-Prime shipping prices and speeds. If you're curious about the best Black Friday deals that are not 1 cent, Mashable's editors are super hard at work scouting out the best discounts.

Believe it or not, though, there are some exciting and potentially useful products on Amazon Haul's 1-cent sale. The best part about all of it is that the items cost literally one penny, so if you hate the item, you can return it, or you can cut your losses of one literal cent. Some useful items featured in this sale include party decorations for very specific occasions, 56 miniature grass tufts for dioramas or dollhouses, knock-off Dyson AirWrap curl attachments, and polarized replacement lenses for certain sunglasses. I will say, I do distinctly remember spending $40 for a set of shiny, helium-filled, Mylar number balloons for my friend's birthday recently. So, it could prove to be a deal to snag some decorations for 1 cent while you can.

If your interest is piqued by both the good deals and some of the super weird options, check out the list below.

If you’ve been waiting all year to grab a new pair of AirPods, now’s your chance. Black Friday sales are officially live at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, and some of Apple’s signature earbuds are on sale at record prices. Several retailers have slashed prices across the AirPods lineup, from entry-level AirPods to the premium AirPods Max. So, if you're looking to snag some, we've got all the details you need to score the best price.

But be warned, deals are selling out fast. As of 5 pm EST on Nov. 28, we've noticed that several great AirPods deals have increased in price. The AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are now back up to $109.99 from their previous low of $99.99. Plus, the AirPods Pro 2 have increased to $199 from their low price of $139. That being said, our favorite AirPods deals are still available.

For the absolute lowest price on AirPods, Walmart, Target, and Amazon are leading the pack right now with a record-low price on the AirPods 4, an entry-level pair of buds. All three retailers have the price down to $69. And if you want to level up, the AirPods Pro 3 are also at their lowest price ever at $219.99, but at your pick of retailer — you can find this deal at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.

We've checked all the major retailers to make sure you get the best prices on AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max products.

We've been waiting for this one: Now that Black Friday sales have begun, the base model AirPods 4 just hit a record low price of $69 at Amazon. This is a frankly absurd price for Apple wireless earbuds, which somehow have gotten more affordable in the age of inflation and tariffs. We're not sure how long this deal isn't going to stick around for. We've already seen stock drop for AirPods 4 with ANC.

AirPods Pro 3 are the very latest and most advanced pair of Apple's earbuds, and for Black Friday 2025, they just got their biggest discount yet. As of Nov. 24, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to $219.99, saving you $29.01. That's not a huge discount, but it's absolutely the best price we've found on them (and don't expect it to drop significantly lower once Black Friday proper hits). The AirPods Pro 3 offer exceptional sound, even better active noise cancellation, live translation, and heart-rate monitoring. You can pick up this discount at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.

Plus, their built-in mic makes chatting on the go feel like a dream.

Black Friday is finally here. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised how many big price drops we're seeing on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.

We're tracking all of the best outdoor deals below as we move through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so check back for the latest price drops.

A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs. With $800 off, it's down to its best price on record during Black Friday.

A quality Bluetooth speaker makes a great companion in the great outdoors and the JBL Charge 6 is our favorite. It's powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party, but still lightweight enough at just 2 pounds to tote around. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal drops it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy.

The best Black Friday Pop Mart deals: This holiday surprise bundle guarantees you a Labubu at a major discount

Mashable - 7 hours 16 min ago
A peek at the best Black Friday Pop Mart deals so far Opens in a new window Credit: Pop Mart Best Pop Mart deal: Spend $300, save $100 with code BF004 Includes Skullpanda, Crybaby, and The Monsters Why So Serious series Shop Now Opens in a new window Credit: Pop Mart More Pop Mart Black Friday coupons Save between $9 and $55 when you spend between $90 and $110 (excluding Labubus) Shop Now

Finding real Labubus and other Pop Mart favorites in stock has been an Olympic sport for the past year. Now, Google has confirmed that Labubus were one of the 100 top-searched gifts of 2025 — so you can probably only imagine just how chaotic the realm of fake Pop Mart Black Friday deals could get. The only way to ensure you're getting legit Pop Mart merch is to buy from Pop Mart itself — and yes, Pop Mart is having a Black Friday sale.

Now that Black Friday is well underway, deals are moving fast with coupons and mystery boxes dropping every couple of hours. Three coupons pop up on the Black Friday landing page: save $50 when you spend $100, save $16 when you spend $80, and save $6 when you spend $60. But after a little digging in the "My Coupons" section of your profile, you'll find that only certain items work with certain coupons. Much to everyone on Reddit's disappointment, no, Pop Mart is not letting you pick out $110 worth of Labubus or SkullPandas and then handing you a $55 discount.

The best discount on The Monsters so far Opens in a new window Credit: Pop Mart Holiday Surprise Plush Treat Box $89.99 at Pop Mart
Limited stock available. Get Deal

Pop Mart is about to drop their best Black Friday deal yet at 6 pm EST. The Holiday Surprise Plush Treat box includes a mix of Pop Mart merch but most importantly, you're guaranteed to get at least one of The Monsters. The box will include a mix of Pop Mart options from three different product groups which include The Monsters, Skullpandas, and Crybabys. While each box has a different monetary value, by our calculations, each one is worth at least $130 meaning you're saving at least $40.

Supplies will be extremely limited and will sell out fast so grab one while you can.

The Monsters are eligible for this one Pop Mart discount code

There actually is one hidden Pop Mart promo code that unlocks discounts on viral characters, including The Monsters. The "special offers" section in the "Black Friday deals tab" across the top holds a glorious $100 off $300+ deal, and popular series like Skullpanda You Found Me!, Crybaby Crying Again, and The Monsters Why So Serious are all eligible. You just have to get your cart to $300 and enter code BF001.

This code changes daily, but the deal will likely be the same until Pop Mart drops more deals on Nov. 28. It's specifically noted that a "50% off special picks" deal is coming to the items in this collection. No Labubus are eligible as of Nov. 25, but we have a reason to be hopeful for Labubu deals: If you Google "Pop Mart Black Friday," the official Pop Mart result that pops up mentions "exclusive discounts on Labubu."

SEE ALSO: 30+ trendy gifts for teen girls in 2025, according to teenage girls IRL and online

The good news is that you can still unlock a free exclusive item by spending a certain amount of money, regardless of which coupon your cart items fall under. Orders over $99 unlock a free Crybaby Crying for Love series storage bag, and orders over $199 unlock a free Crybaby Crying for Love series jewelry box. Both items are only available for the Black Friday sale and cannot be purchased separately.

Where else can you buy Pop Mart merch online?

It's quite possible that you'll be able to find Black Friday Pop Mart deals at the official Amazon Pop Mart Store and at Urban Outfitters, where Pop Mart is also selling officially licensed merch, including Crybaby, Skullpanda, Peach Riot, and The Monsters. If an item you want sells out on Pop Mart's website, there may still be stock at either of these retailers. For example, The Monsters Fall in Wild series vinyl plush doll pendant that's sold out at Pop Mart is still in stock at Amazon for its usual $39.99.

The best Black Friday deals on noise-cancelling headphones: Score Sony, Beats, and Bose for new lows

As Mashable's tech editor, I've covered a lot of cool headphone launches this year. The long-awaited Sony XM6 headphones finally came out this year, and we also got new flagship headphones from Nothing, Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, and Beats. If you need a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the Black Friday season is the best possible time to buy. All of the headphones I mentioned are currently sitting at record prices — all of them.

However, you won't find all of them in this guide, as not every Black Friday headphones deal is worth shopping. I've gathered the biggest discounts on the noise-cancelling headphones I'd actually recommend buying, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for Christmas gifts for techies.

Some of the best Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones deals have already earned a spot in our guide to the top deals. From audiophile-worthy headphones from Bowers & Wilkins to the latest Bose wireless earbuds, you'll find the best of the best here.

And PS: Deals really aren't here to stay. As Black Friday begins to wind down, we've noticed that AirPods are increasing in price. Walmart's deal on the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4 with ANC at Amazon have both increased in price today.

I tested Sony's legendary XM5 headphones against the newer version, the XM6, as did Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard. And both of us found that they're far more alike than different. Unless you're a picky audiophile, I think most people should opt for the XM5 model while it's on sale, which is what Allard recommended in her comparison. These headphones have never been priced this low, and they still have all the features you really need: excellent audio quality, best-in-class active noise-cancellation, and an easy-to-use app to adjust EQ settings.

Everything to know about Amazon Black Friday 2025: Official dates, best deals, and Prime perks

Mashable - Fri, 11/28/2025 - 23:35

Black Friday season is in full swing and Amazon is already showing off with epic deals. If the influx of deals in your inbox is giving you hives, we're breaking down all of the details of Amazon's sale for you below — from when the sale starts and ends to what deals are actually worth adding to your cart.

Amazon Black Friday deals at a glance: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones $248 (save $151.99 + get $30 Amazon credit with code SONYX30) Get Deal Amazon Kindle $79.99 (save $30) Get Deal Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 $349 (save $450) Get Deal Ninja Slushi $269.99 (save $100) Get Deal Sony ULT Field 5 $194.95 (save $155.04) Get Deal Amazon 65-inch QLED Mini-LED 4K Fire TV $894.99 (save $195) Get Deal

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year. What used to be a single day on the Friday after Thanksgiving has morphed into a full-blown holiday shopping season that starts far before the holiday itself and extends through December. But we're not complaining. Having more time to sort out your finances and shop is a blessing in a time when everything is outrageously expensive.

Unlike its major competitors — Walmart, Best Buy, and Target — Amazon doesn't have a physical storefront where you can wait in line to score doorbuster deals. Amazon typically has the best prices of the bunch, and sometimes it will undercut its rivals by pennies or dollars, as if taunting them. Again, we're not complaining, because nothing beats shopping from your couch with a turkey hangover on Black Friday.

So, here's everything you need to know about the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, including the best Amazon deals already live.

When is the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale?

The mega-retailer's Black Friday sale kicked off early on Thursday, Nov. 20 and will run through the end of the day Friday, Nov. 28. But most of Amazon's Black Friday deals last through Monday — by name, they'll just be called Cyber Monday deals starting Saturday, Nov. 29. (Yes, Amazon does do Cyber Monday as well.) The official Amazon Cyber Monday sale runs through Monday, Dec. 1, which is when you can consider Amazon's Black Friday sale to be over.

Does Amazon have better deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Our shopping experts are unanimous — Black Friday is the best time to shop. If you're holding out for a last-minute price drop on Cyber Monday, don't hold your breath. Amazon does hold back a handful of deals for Cyber Monday (Cyber Week, really), but the biggest savings from the most popular brands will be available Friday. In fact, some products may go up in price or sell out while you're still biding your time.

The verdict: Prices are usually lowest on Black Friday itself, though most deals will linger through Cyber Monday.

SEE ALSO: Are Amazon's Cyber Monday prices better than Black Friday? Our shopping experts say the answer is clear. Best Amazon Black Friday ad highlights

Amazon doesn't release a traditional Black Friday ad like its competitors. Instead, it announces its plans for Black Friday in the form of a press release — and then proceeds to drop some of the best deals of the season when the time comes.

Officially, these are the categories Amazon highlighted in its press release, but it doesn't even include some of the top deals we've seen thus far (read on to shop those). Regardless, here's what Amazon's ad highlights include for its Black Friday sale:

  • Up to 55% off select home products from Shark and kitchen appliances from Ninja

  • Up to 50% off Amazon devices like the Echo Dot Max, Fire TV Stick lineup, Fire tablets, and Kindles

  • Up to 50% off electronics from JBL and Canon

  • Up to 45% off Bose audio

  • Up to 40% off kitchen items from Vitamix, Staub, Nespresso, and more

  • Up to 40% on select floorcare from Bissell and iRobot

  • Up to 40% off home entertainment from Hisense, TCL, and LG

  • Up to 40% on toys from Melissa & Doug, Little Tykes, Play-Doh, and Nerf

Still looking for more deals? We have a much bigger running list of the best Black Friday deals at Amazon, broken down by categories like Apple products, headphones, TVs, kitchen gadgets, beauty tech, and more. If you're stumped on a good gift idea, you'll find one in there.

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop on Black Friday?

While some deals will be available to everyone, the best Amazon Black Friday deals are always Prime exclusives. So, if you've somehow resisted and avoided signing up for Amazon Prime until now, then you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial that will take you through the holiday shopping season. After the trial ends, you'll be charged $14.99 per month. You can also sign up for Prime Access-only plans, which gives you benefits like free shipping and returns, but no extra perks like Prime Video access.

  • Exclusive Black Friday deals

  • Access to Prime Video

  • Free Grubhub+

  • Free delivery and returns

Price check before you buy SEE ALSO: Best Buy's early Black Friday deals are live. As a shopping reporter, here's what I would buy now.

Just about every deal probably looks great upon first glance, but it's wise to do a few extra seconds of research, especially if it's a pricier investment. To confirm you're actually getting a good deal, head to camelcamelcamel to check on a product's price history. Just copy the Amazon URL into the price tracker and you'll get full stats. On occasion, Amazon can make a deal look better than it actually is by inflating the list price. On the flip side, we've also seen Amazon post the list price as something lower than the recommended MSRP, which can spell an awesome deal for Amazon shoppers. The Mashable shopping team uses camelcamelcamel daily throughout the entire year.

130+ best Black Friday deals: We found record prices on Apple Watches, OLED TVs, Legos, and Kindles

Mashable - Fri, 11/28/2025 - 23:34

If your belly is full of turkey and pie, it's time to get shopping because Black Friday 2025 is here.

After weeks of anticipation, the biggest shopping event of the year has arrived, but the deals have been here for weeks. Best Buy dropped early deals and doorbusters starting Oct. 31, and Target started its first holiday savings event on Nov. 6. Now, both Walmart and Amazon have joined the fray, delivering record prices on AirPods, Apple Watches, Kindles, Legos, Ninja appliances, and Samsung TVs.

Still, Black Friday proper generally has some of the best deals you'll find throughout Cyber Week. If you're debating whether or not to wait until Cyber Monday, we recommend picking up deals sooner rather than later. With Black Friday finally here, deals are more likely to sell out quickly.

Keep this page bookmarked throughout the sale as we'll be updating this guide with the latest Black Friday deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and beyond. The major players have special daily deals you won't want to miss. And if you're overwhelmed by sorting through over 130 deals?

Read our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a record-low price of $749 for Black Friday this year. This is our favorite laptop for students, thanks to its M4 silicon and slim design. This markdown is so good that even if it does happen to drop lower for Cyber Monday (and we're not counting on it), you still score a great deal without waiting for shopping chaos later this week.

Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2).

The Bose QC Ultra headphones and earbuds have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. The new second-generation versions are out, and we love them even more than the original flavor. However, while the new headphones are pricey (even when they're on sale), the new Bose earbuds have been marked down to $216, which is a lot more reasonable. These earbuds are supremely comfortable and feature elite active noise cancellation

"Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can get 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for only $2.99 per month. That's just $35.88 total for the year. Since the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service just raised the cost of its Basic with ads plan in October from $9.99 to $10.99 per month, this Black Friday deal ends up saving you $96 or 73% total across 12 months.

"The past two years, HBO Max offered just six months of streaming for $2.99 per month. So not only did it double the length of the discount in 2025, but with the price hike, you'll actually be saving even more." — Christina Buff, Mashable contributor

Earlier this year, we named the excellent Roborock Saros 10R hybrid robovac the best robot vacuum of 2025. But its on-sale price of $999.99 can really hurt. Fortunately, the Narwhal Freo Pro has almost all of the same features at one-third the price. We've been very impressed with Narwhal's cleaning bots, and this model can vacuum and mop (duh), but also self-empty, self-clean, self-dry, and analyze your floor to make sure it hasn't missed a spot.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means it uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $229.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $249.99 at Walmart. $20 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

SharkNinja also showed up to the Black Friday party by offering really excellent free extras. Buying the Ninja Slushi directly from Ninja for $269.99 will give you two margarita cups and a travel tote with a combined total value of $99.

The Everything store is hosting record sales on Amazon devices like Kindles and Fire TVs, but also some of our favorite products from brands like DJI, Ninja, Yeti, and Samsung. Amazon is also a great place to stock up on Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, and deals under $25.

The movies stream in HD and 4K when available, and they can be viewed anywhere from phones to tablets to TVs and more.

I made my Mac more secure by changing these 5 settings

Unlike Windows, macOS doesn't give me a persistent feeling like I'm being spied on, or my personal data is being sent to who-knows-where, but in the end, that's just a perception. I think Apple is doing a better job when it comes to security and privacy, but there are still a few ways I like to tighten things up when I set up a new Mac.

Mashable - Fri, 11/28/2025 - 22:56

Advent calendars are some of our favorite Christmas gifts, and with Black Friday already here, you're running out of time to order for the holidays. Some of the season's most popular Advent calendars have already gone out of stock, but there are still plenty of festive countdowns available.

Pulsetto’s vagal nerve stimulator is on sale for Black Friday

Mashable - Fri, 11/28/2025 - 22:15

If you’re looking for a gentle method to aid with sleep regulation, tension and stress, take a closer look at Pulsetto. It’s an interesting device with some impressive claims behind it, and right now it’s at an all time low price on Amazon for Black Friday.

Opens in a new window Credit: Pulsetto Pulsetto Vagal Nerve Stimulator AU$320 at Amazon AU
(was $499, save $179) Get Deal

This lightweight device utilises electrical impulses to the neck, designed to stimulate the vagus nerve. This, in turn, is a process that activates the parasympathetic nervous system. According to the manufacturer, this mechanism can reduce stress levels by approximately 28%, and anxiety levels by up to 26%, potentially giving a few moments of respite during high-activity periods.

Additionally, the device aims to support sleep regulation, with Pulsetto claiming an 18% improvement in sleep quality for its users. To use the device before bed, apply the provided conductive gel (also sold separately) and wear the device for a four-minute session, which is intended to balance the nervous system and improve focus upon waking. The device pairs with a mobile app to track biometric data, such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and sleep metrics.

It’s important to remember as well, that while devices such as the Pulsetto can be fantastic stress relievers, if you are suffering from a medical condition, chronic pain, or anxiety disorders, it should not be used as a replacement for medical treatment as recommended by your health care professional.

At such a huge discount, it’s a great opportunity to pick up a stress-reliever either for yourself, or for someone else in your life who could really use it.

50 Black Friday tech deals Id recommend to friends and family as a tech editor: Bose, Samsung, DJI, PS5 on sale

Mashable - Fri, 11/28/2025 - 22:11

As Mashable's tech editor, I get early access to a lot of really cool products. I also have a pretty deep knowledge of the coolest new gadgets of 2025, from the latest virtual reality tech to everyday fitness trackers and new Apple laptops. I've also been covering Black Friday sales since 2019, so I know what discounts to expect and which deals you can safely skip.

In this guide, you'll find all the best Black Friday tech deals I'd actually recommend to my friends and family. Before recommending an LG OLED TV or an Anker power station, I'll first make sure that the price is actually a good deal. Online retailers are notorious for exaggerating their sales, but I've done the work for you to find the biggest genuine discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and beyond.

Keep checking back as I add new discounts on the season's best new gadgets, toys, wearables, and tech gifts. I've personally tested many of the products in this guide, while others have been tested by other Mashable reporters. If you see a deal in this story, it's because I'd truly recommend that product — and at that price — to my loved ones.

The new Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

Our favorite noise-cancelling wireless earbuds have been on sale since Amazon started its Black Friday sale earlier this week, but they got a surprise $30 price drop the morning of Black Friday. You can now buy the second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $216, a new record price and a discount of 28%, at both Amazon and Best Buy.

Seriously, we love these earbuds. The active noise cancellation works so well that I wear them while I work, even when I'm not listening to music. Plus, they really are the most comfortable wireless buds we've ever tried.

I literally collect rare books, so when I tell you I'm a book nerd, you can believe me. And this is the Kindle that stores my digital library — the Kindle Paperwhite. For Black Friday, it's on sale for $124.99, but I actually recommend paying a little more for the version without lockscreen ads. That way, you'll see gorgeous black-and-white photos on the lockscreen instead of ads for romantasy books I'll never read.

Apple just launched the new version of its starter smartwatch in September, and it's already earned a spot in my guide to the best smartwatches of the year. The truth is, while we also loved the longer-lasting Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra Watch 3, the new SE 3 is the right pick for the vast majority of people. This is a true lifestyle smartwatch that also does double duty as a fitness and sleep tracker. Plus, it even has an always-on Retina OLED display. You can pick up this affordable Apple smartwatch for $199.99 at Amazon, a 20% discount.

Alexa informed me that New York City faces its first freeze warning of the season, and now I'm mad at her. However, I do have something to keep the chill away. I've been using and recommending these cute electric hand warmers for years, and they're one of my favorite undiscovered gems at Amazon. They're one of my go-to stocking stuffers, and they'll keep your hands toasty and warm all winter long. If you're looking for tech deals under $25, this is my personal recommendation.

Have you heard about the upcoming ban on DJI drones? If not, then we have very bad news: DJI drones are almost certainly set to be banned in the U.S. by year's end, which means this is your last chance to buy one. So long as you're already flying, the potential ban shouldn't affect you, a DJI representative recently told me. Unfortunately, you can only buy these drones from third-party sellers at retailers like Amazon, but we think the risk is worth the reward in this case.

Amazon devices are up to 55% off for Black Friday, including the best Alexa smart speakers. The Echo Spot is a smart speaker that doubles as an alarm clock, and it's a favorite of ours. However, Amazon just refreshed its Echo line to make way for Alexa+, its new AI version of Alexa. The just-released Echo Dot Max features bigger sound and a fun Death Star-like design.

I've said it before: Samsung's cult-favorite art TV, The Frame, is the best TV in the world. This super-thin TV doubles as an art gallery for your living room, adding to your home's decor instead of distracting from it. The 2025 model of The Frame has a fancy new AI processor, as well as a magic-like matte, anti-glare display. While you can catch this TV on sale at any retailer you like, Amazon currently has the best price.

$1,197.99 Save $300 New price drop! Get Deal A new Apple laptop

We think the M4 MacBook Pro is the best MacBook for most people, and this is a fantastic price for a 2025 model Apple laptop. Powered by M4 silicon, it's also lightning fast. The M4 chip is faster than anything you'll find in the Windows world, which means this laptop is faster and more efficient than the competition. Its $749 price at Amazon is a record discount, and we're not expecting the price to drop any lower (though Apple could surprise us).

Amazon isn't our go-to destination for laptops, but for Black Friday, they have a great deal on a popular Copilot+ PC. This Acer Aspire 16 AI Copilot+ PC has never been priced below $500 before now, and you can save 36% on the retail price at Amazon. Unlike most laptops at Amazon, this PC isn't sold by a sketchy third-party seller — it's sold and shipped by Amazon itself. It also has very impressive specs for an under-$500 laptop, with 16GB of RAM and a powerful Snapdragon X chip.

If you're a content creator or vlogger, then you've probably heard of DJI's famous pocket mics, currently 45% off at Amazon. These wireless mics replace the awkward wired lavaliers of the past, and they clip on to your shirt or collar magnetically. There's a reason you can spot these microphones all over TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube. I've personally tested these microphones, and they've been a huge help to the Mashable video team at live events.

If you're looking for a premium robot vacuum and mop combo, try the Eufy S1 Pro, which has a roller mop, self-cleaning, self-drying, and a 50% discount. Our vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, has also been impressed by Eufy's innovation when it comes to cleaning features past the robot vacuum itself. The Eufy E28 is a powerful roller mop robot vacuum with 20,000 Pa suction power that comes with a portable carpet cleaner.

Bose recently released a new version of its flagship noise-canceling headphones, and in our review, we said the new model is nearly identical to the original. However, the new version will set you back $449, which is a big ask in this economy. Meanwhile, the Gen 1 version on sale for $298 is still one of the best, most comfortable headphones in the world. While it's possible these headphones might get a bigger price drop come Nov. 28, don't count on it. I love these headphones, and this is easily one of the best Prime Day tech deals of the year so far.

Editor's note: These headphones are almost sold out!

$429 Save $130 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal The Samsung Galaxy XR Headset Explorer's Pack

This is the ultimate splurge this holiday season — Samsung's new AR/VR headset, the Galaxy XR. It's Samsung's answer to the Apple Vision Pro, and it's significantly more affordable, though still extremely pricey. If you buy the device during the holiday shopping season, Samsung will throw in $1,140 worth of freebies, including a year of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, and NBA League Pass. You'll also get access to exclusive XR experiences and more premium apps. This offer ends Dec. 31.

$1,140 bonus pack Shop Now A Nintendo Switch 2 bundle

Over the summer, it was almost impossible to find the new Nintendo Switch 2 console in stock. Thankfully, that's no longer the case. While we haven't found any official discounts on the Switch 2 console yet, you can find some Switch 2 bundles in stock at Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop. We expect this handheld to top many Christmas gift wishlists this year, so grab these while you can.

  Get Deal A Blink home security camera

Amazon always discounts its devices for big sales, and right now you can grab the popular Blink Mini 2 security camera for just $17.99, a 55% discount. We don't expect this product to get any cheaper come Thanksgiving, so go ahead and stock up and protect your home.

$39.99 Save $22.00   Get Deal A powerful portable power station

I've tested several Jackery Explorer power stations over the years, and I've never had a bad experience. The brand helped popularize this product category in the United States, and it's easy to see why. They make rugged power stations that are easy to use, have a variety of ports, and connect easily to your devices (not to mention solar panels, if you have them). If you live in fear of the power going out — or just want to charge your phone during a camping trip or tailgate — these devices are a must-have.

$448.98 Save $99.98 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal Sony noise-cancelling headphones

Just like Bose, Sony also released a sequel to its flagship headphones this year. The new XM6 headphones are elite, truly. But having tested them against the previous-gen XM5 model, I'm strongly recommending you buy the XM5s now that they're finally back on sale. Here's the truth: They're more alike than different. And right now, you can get the Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for just $248, a record-low price. Compare that to the $428 price tag on the new model, and your choice is simple.

The new Google Pixel smartwatch is my favorite Android smartwatch of the year, and in our review, we called it a true runner's smartwatch. And to prove it, one of our reporters recently trained and ran a marathon while using it. So, when I say it's a good smartwatch for running, you can really believe me. For Black Friday, this smartwatch got its first-ever discount.

$399.99 Save $50 Lowest price ever 🔥 Get Deal LG's award-winning OLED TV

Even as other sites recommended Best Buy's deal on the LG C5 OLED TV, I've been holding out for a proper price drop. Best Buy's sale price has been available at Amazon since October. Well, patience is a virtue, because as the sun rises on Black Friday, the LG 65-inch C5 Series OLED EVO 4K Smart TV has finally gotten a real price drop at Amazon. The C Series is probably the most award-winning line of TVs in the world, and every year it tops lists of the best TVs.

This TV may only be available from third-party sellers in your region, so check the seller's reviews on Amazon before adding it to your cart. You can also pick up this TV at LG and Best Buy, though Amazon has the better price by far.

If you want to buy a robot vacuum during Prime Day, then we recommend steering clear of Roomba. I've already recommended Eufy's popular budget and mid-range vacuums, but if you're looking for the best of the best, our favorite robot vacuum of the year is currently on sale. Our resident robot vacuum tester has tested so many robot vacuums, and this year, none outperformed the Roborock Saros 10R, a robot vacuum and mop combo. With sophisticated mapping, mopping, self-cleaning, and obstacle avoidance, it does it all. It can even act as a pet camera.

With 128GB of storage and instant access to over 40 games, this solid Black Friday VR deal lets you discover an entirely new type of gaming. Though, personally, I prefer to use VR for watching 3D movies and other types of VR video content.

I've been waiting patiently for gaming laptop deals to pop off for Black Friday, and they finally did. The Lenovo LOQ 15 has gone on sale for as little as $864.49 in the past, but it's currently on sale for $799.99. That's a new all-time low and a great price on this gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics. This is the gaming laptop you'll find on my own desk right now, and it's a good entry-level model.

We're big fans of Oura smart rings at Mashable, and the brand's Black Friday sale officially started, knocking $100 off its Oura Ring 4. Our reviewer praised Oura for its great balance of health, fitness, and sleep tracking metrics, and there's a reason these smart rings are beloved by many pro athletes.

This is the year we fell for British brand Nothing. In our review of the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro, we said that Nothing could be charging three or four times as much for this AMOLED smartwatch. For Black Friday, this watch finally dropped down to $79 just as we hoped. This smartwatch has an incredible display and excels as a fitness and sleep tracker, but it really puts the competition to shame when it comes to battery life.

We love Kindles here at Mashable, and we've tested them all. I already told you my personal favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, but the truth is all of Amazon's e-readers are fantastic. For bargain hunters, the best deals on Kindles are the basic Kindle and the Kindle Colorsoft. Amazon's basic Kindle is a perfectly pocket-sized device that reached its lowest price ever of $79.99, while the Kindle Colorsoft got an astounding price cut down to $169.99, the first time the device has ever dipped under $200.

As much as we hype up Kindles, you can't forget there are other e-readers out there. The only brand that can truly compete is Kobo, which makes a delightful collection of color e-readers. Ahead of Black Friday, the only Kobo on sale is the Libra Colour, which is our favorite color e-reader. It's down to $199.99, back down to the low price it was during Black Friday 2024.

$229.99 Save $30   Get Deal A well-priced iPad Air

To be honest, the Black Friday deals on iPads have been pretty weak this year. However, the model I recommend for most people is on sale, and at a record price.

The newest and best iPad is the iPad Pro with M5 chip, but the best Black Friday iPad deal is on the Apple iPad Air with M3 chip. I've tested both models, and the iPad Air is the right choice for 99% of shoppers. It's back to its lowest price ever of $449, making it an affordable yet powerful device. With the latest iPadOS, the iPad Air is closer to a laptop than ever, but still a fraction of the cost. This is another device I've personally tested and highly recommend, especially at this price.

While Oura might be the buzzier fitness tracker, Whoop still makes great trackers. Mashable's Christianna Silva just wore seven fitness trackers while training for the NYC marathon and determined that the Whoop MG was the best overall pick for marathon training. But even for the average Joe, it's a smart pickup, not to mention our favorite sleep tracker. During Black Friday, Whoop 5.0 and MG trackers are 17%, getting you up to $40 or $60 off.

PlayStation and PS5 console Black Friday deals are very popular this year, and while the prices aren't as low as I'd hoped, they are as low as I expected, given the ongoing tariff and price hikes we've seen in this sector. A lot of PS5 bundles are on sale right now, but I'd recommend the Fortnite bundles in particular, available now at Amazon.

The cheapest 85-inch TV weve seen this Black Friday is a TCL Roku TV under $500

Mashable - Fri, 11/28/2025 - 22:02

SAVE $200: This Walmart Black Friday TV deal brings a huge 85-inch TCL Roku 4K TV down to just $498. It's likely the cheapest 85-inch TV you'll see out of all the best Black Friday deals this season.

I've been keeping track of TVs on sale during every major shopping holiday for several years now. For Black Friday 2025, I'm seeing so many cheap 65- and 75-inch QLED TVs that I'd almost always recommend grabbing a QLED TV over a regular LED TV. The one exception is Walmart's $498 deal on this massive 85-inch TCL 4K Roku TV — I've seen enough TV deals to know that you don't stumble across an 85-inch TV under $500 often, if ever.

SEE ALSO: If dark scenes are too dark on your TV, play around with these settings

If your living room is so spacious that it almost looks more awkward to not have a big TV, this TCL deal is your best chance to fill that space on a budget. For reference, the cheapest 85-inch QLED TV deal so far this Black Friday was a $648 Hisense QLED TV that's already sold out. Or think of it this way: If your max budget was $500 for a QLED, you'd definitely have to settle for 75 inches. (I say "settle" as if 75 inch TVs aren't still huge.)

Still not sure what type of TV you even need? Here's a quick refresher on the advantages of QLED: QLED TVs use the same type of LED backlight panel that LED TVs like this TCL model do, but they sandwich a layer of quantum dots between that backlight and the screen. Quantum dots are tiny nanocrystals that are really good at reflecting light and colors, making QLED TVs brighter and more vibrant — something I've noticed the most when watching sports in the daytime. But if you're a super casual TV watcher who doesn't even notice that type of thing, the sheer size of this TCL TV could definitely create an at-home theater feel.
