We're just a few days away from the Full Moon now, so the moon is nice and bright tonight. There's plenty for you to see when you look up, so keep reading to find out exactly what you can see.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Sunday, Nov. 30, the moon phase is Waxing Gibbous. This means 74% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

If you're looking at the moon without any visual aids you should be able to spot the Vaporum, Crisium, and Fecunditatis Mares. With binoculars you'll also be able to spot the Endymion and Alphonsus Craters, and the Apennine Mountains. If you have a telescope, pull it out to try and catch a glimpse of the Apollo 11 and 14 landing spots, and the Caucasus Mountains.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Dec. 4, which will be the last of three consecutive supermoons. The last full moon was on Nov. 5.

What are moon phases?

NASA explains that the lunar cycle (which is about 29.5 days long) is made up of the Moon’s phases, which describe how the Moon looks from Earth as it travels around us. We view the same side of the Moon at all times, but the sunlight hitting its surface shifts as it moves through its orbit. That changing illumination is what makes the Moon appear full, half-lit, or not visible at all. The cycle includes eight distinct phases:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

The FORMULATEXT function is often dismissed because it merely transforms a formula into text. However, that raw text is exactly what makes it so valuable. So, stop thinking of it as a one-trick pony—it's the perfect tool for auditing, input control, and logic validation.

Mega Evolution boosters and Phantasmal Flames is kicking off the next era of Pokémon TCG with a bang, but plenty of us are still ripping Prismatic Evolutions packs hoping for Umbreon ex SIR to appear, or better yet a god pack containing every Eeveelution including Eevee in their Secret Illustration Rare glory.

It's not just about the Eeveelutions in this set, thanks to some stunning SIRs in Roaring Moon ex, Ceruledge ex, and Dragapult ex. Well now it's cheaper than ever to rip and catch chase cards. The Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle is down to $56.68 at Amazon, which is market value compared to TCGplayer's price of $56.99.

Prismatic Evolutions is also notoriously brutal to rip open thanks to, in my opinion, too many gimmicks being stuffed into one special holiday set. That means Pokéball and Masterball Rares stuffed into packs that can't be bought in bulk thanks to no booster boxes, which means it's harder than most sets to pull high value chase cards.

While HBO Max is currently the reigning champ of Black Friday streaming deals, we're also big fans of this six-month offer from Apple TV+.

Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score Apple TV+ for only $5.99 per month for six months through directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on. For the latter, you'll have to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber to take advantage of the deal.

Just like basically every other streaming service, Apple TV+ raised its subscription cost in 2025 from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. Unlike most other streamers, however, Apple TV+ only offers a single ad-free subscription tier. That alone makes this Black Friday deal even sweeter.

We didn't see any major deals on Apple TV+ last Black Friday, but we did spot a Prime Day offer on the Prime Video add-on, which knocked the cost down to $4.99 per month. But that deal was only valid for two months. There have also been discounts from time to time for up to three months. This is the first time, however, that we can remember seeing a six-month-long discounted subscription.

Apple TV+ is flooded with excellent content, showcasing a virtually all-original lineup. You'll get to watch Emmy winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon, all ad-free for just $5.99 per month. In other words, you'll get more than your money's worth. Just remember: If you don't want to pay the full $12.99 per month, cancel before the six-month promotional period is up.

SAVE UP TO $10/MONTH: Through Dec. 2, new and returning subscribers can score two months of Paramount+ Premium or Paramount+ Essential for just $2.99 per month. That's up to 77% in savings with this Black Friday deal.

The Paramount+ Black Friday 2025 deal is officially live and it's essentially just a copy-paste from last year. We weren't blown away by it then and we're equally enthused now. But alas, a deal is a deal, folks.

Through Dec. 2, new and returning subscribers can score two months of Paramount+ Premium or Paramount+ Essential for $2.99 per month. If you opt for the Essential plan, you'll save $5 per month or about 63% total. If you choose the Premium plan (which we highly recommend), you'll save $10 per month or about 77% total. Once the two-month promotional period ends, you'll automatically be charged the full price of whichever tier you select unless you cancel.

One thing to note is that Paramount+ is set to raise its prices on both plans as of Jan. 15, 2026. So, this could be your best opportunity to watch new Paramount Pictures theatrical releases (The Naked Gun, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning), Paramount+ Originals (Landman, Mayor of Kingstown), or Showtime hits (Yellowjackets, The Curse, The Chi), for cheap. Come January, it'll cost you $8.99 or $13.99 per month. We also highly suggest locking in an annual plan before the price hike hits if you want to save some extra dough.

Paramount+ is also home to local NFL AFC games on Sundays, UEFA Champions League matches, UFC (coming soon), CBS originals like Survivor and Ghosts, and old Nickelodeon and MTV shows. Personally, I'd sign up for the Premium plan over the Essential plan, as it also unlocks the full Showtime library and ad-free viewing.

The MacBook Air M1 offers a sleek frame that weighs just 2.8 pounds, powered by Apple’s M1 chip — which makes it speedier than Intel-based laptops with an impressive 3.5 times faster overall performance and 5 times faster graphics for apps and games. That means it offers the best of both worlds, allowing you to tackle work, school, or play on the go.

This MacBook Air model features a 13.3-inch Retina display with 2560×1600 native resolution and support for millions of colors. If you love AI, the 16-core Neural Engine is ready to handle machine learning and more advanced tasks. But despite all that power, you’ll be operating in peace thanks to this device’s fanless design.

The use of emojis in text messages is regularly derided as something millennials rely on too much. But they're still wildly popular — at least, according to Emojipedia's real-time tracker.

In April, iOS users finally got their hands on the new emoji icons introduced in the Unicode 16 update; we can expect to see the list of Unicode 17 in 2026. However, if you're on Android, specifically using Google's NotoColor Emoji, you can try the new emoji right now — including the highly anticipated Distorted Face emoji.

Emojipedia offered more insight into the emoticons winning our little red hearts earlier this year, via their World Emoji Day stats. Voting on the Unicode 17.0 release revealed that Distorted Face was the most anticipated emoji, followed closely by Fight Cloud and Apple Core.

The remaining 17.0 emojis you can expect on iPhone in 2026 include Ballet Dancers, Hairy Creature, Orca, Trombone, Treasure Chest, and Landslide.

What's the hottest new emoji of 2025?

Drumroll please: The most popular brand-new emoji of 2025, based on the Unicode 16.0 list, is ... Face with Bags Under the Eyes.

Splatter took second place, followed by Shovel, Fingerprint, and Harp, rounding out the top five.

And finally, here are the all time rankings, per the emoji tracker — or rather, the most used icons since the tracker started tracking in 2023.

1. ❤️ Red Heart

2. ✅ Check Mark Button

3. ✨ Sparkles

4. 🔥 Fire

5. 😭 Loudly Crying Face

6. 😂 Face with Tears of Joy

7. 😊 Smiling Face with Smiling Eyes

8. 💀 Skull

9. ⭐ Star

10. 🫶 Heart Hands

Scouring the Black Friday sales this year has been interesting. While some categories are off to a slow, underwhelming start (I’m looking at you, Ninja), the portable power station market is fully going for it.

I’m not a doomsday prepper, but I am someone who lives in a storm-prone area where the power goes out if the wind blows the wrong way. So, I track these prices religiously. And right now, we're still seeing deals that match, and in some cases actually beat the record lows we saw during Prime Day. If you’ve been stressed about keeping your devices charged during a winter storm or just want a reliable backup for camping, now's the time to shop.

The discounts are surprisingly good this year, with major brands like Bluetti, Jackery, EF EcoFlow, and Anker offering 40% to 60% off. Even DJI, which is usually pretty stubborn with its pricing, is getting in on the action.

Best Cyber Monday Jackery power station deal Jackery Explorer 240D $132 at Amazon
$209 Save $77   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

I love a heavy-duty home backup system, but I am not trying to haul a 50-pound generator around unless I absolutely have to. For camping trips, beach days, or just keeping my iPad alive during a spotty power outage, I want something I can carry in one hand.

As of Nov. 29, the Jackery Explorer 240D is still on sale for $132 at Amazon. That's a 37% discount (or a $77 price cut) off its $209 list price, and it's the best deal we've seen on this specific model. If you want to save even more, Jackery is offering an extra $200 off to customers who subscribe to its newsletter, but that coupon is only valid on orders over $2,000, so it won't apply to this deal specifically.

The 240D uses a LiFePO4 battery, which means it has a 10-year lifespan and can handle 4,000+ charge cycles (the old ones could only do about 500). It packs 256Wh of capacity into a tiny 4.85-pound box, so you can fast-charge your laptop, phone, or drone directly via its 140W USB-C ports.

Just keep in mind: This is a "power bank" style station, meaning it has USB ports but no AC wall outlet. It’s designed for devices, not appliances. But for $132, it’s the perfect "just in case" gadget to keep in your closet.

Read our full review of the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station.

If you need something with a bit more oomph than the Jackery 240D but aren't trying to spend $1,000, this is the sweet spot. The Anker Solix C1000 hits that perfect middle ground for capacity and portability, and right now, it's half off.

As of Nov. 29, the Anker Solix C1000 is still on sale for $397 at Amazon. That's a 50% discount (or a $402 price cut) off its $799 list price. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model since Prime Day (it was $399 in October).

The Solix C1000 is a Mashable Choice Award winner. Mashable's Lauren Allain tested this unit extensively, from powering an outdoor movie night to keeping her essentials running during a power outage, and called it "simply perfect." She specifically praised its "awesome price-to-features ratio" and its incredibly fast recharge time (0 to 100% in under an hour!).

With 1,056Wh of capacity and 1,800W of output, it can handle everything from a CPAP machine (for 18+ hours) to a full-size fridge (for up to 14 hours). And if you decide later that you need even more juice, you can double its capacity with an expansion battery.

If you missed the Anker deal above (or if you just want a little more juice), this is the one to grab. It's a direct competitor that sits in that same "Goldilocks" zone of size and power, but with a few extra perks.

As of Nov. 29, the Bluetti AC180 is still on sale for $409 at Amazon. That's 41% off its usual $699 price tag, saving you nearly $300. (It hit this new all-time low yesterday, according to CamelCamelCamel.)

Here's why you might choose this one over the others: It has a slightly larger battery (1,152Wh) and a specialized "Power Lifting" mode. This boosts the output to 2,700W to handle resistive loads, meaning you can run high-wattage essentials like a space heater or electric kettle without tripping the unit. It also charges super fast (0-80% in just 45 minutes) and works as a reliable UPS backup for your computer or CPAP.

DJI is known for its drones, not its discounts, so seeing the DJI Power 1000 drop this low is a genuinely pleasant surprise. If you're a drone pilot or just someone who hates the loud humming noise most power stations make, this is the deal for you.

As of Nov. 29, the DJI Power 1000 is still on sale for $449 at Amazon. That's 36% off its $699 list price, and $250 in savings.

It operates at just 23dB, which is quieter than a whisper. You can charge it right next to your bed and not even hear it. For drone owners, it has dedicated SDC ports that can fast-charge select DJI drone batteries from 10% to 95% in just 32 minutes. It also has a 1,024Wh capacity and dual 140W USB-C ports for your non-drone gear.

$1,299 Save $770   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

If you’re looking for a true "off-grid" ready kit, buying a power station on its own is only half the battle. Usually, adding a decent solar panel will set you back another $300 or more. That’s why this bundle deal is so good — it includes the panel for a price that beats many standalone stations.

As of Nov. 29, the EF ECOFLOW Solar Generator Delta 2 Bundle is on sale for $529 at Amazon. This bundle includes the excellent Delta 2 power station (1,024Wh capacity, LiFePO4 battery) plus a 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel.

"Bifacial" just means it captures sunlight on both sides (ambient light on the back), which EcoFlow says can increase energy capture by up to 25%. Combined with the Delta 2's fast charging and 1,800W output, this is a turnkey solution for camping or emergency backup.

I write about all things laptops here at Mashable, and after spending hours digging through tech retailers' Black Friday sales, I'm delighted by the deals I'm seeing so far. A bunch of the best laptops we've tested are now on sale at steep discounts. That includes my top picks for most people, plus some more niche options in the budget, OLED, ultraportable, gaming, and dual-screen categories. You're not just saving a ton of money on laptops this holiday season — you're saving a ton of money on some truly great laptops.

Black Friday always coaxes out some of the best laptop deals of the whole year, so no surprises here. It's partly because retailers know that people are looking for good, giftable buys ahead of the holidays, but it's also because they're trying to offload their current inventories ahead of next-gen refreshes at the start of the following year. Enter: Record-low prices on MacBooks, Windows laptops, gaming PCs, and Chromebooks. Voila: An upgrade that's normally out of your budget is suddenly affordable.

Below, I've detailed the 14 top Black Friday laptop deals I've scouted so far. I've only picked the models that I'd happily add to my own cart if I was in the market for a new PC — they've all been tested and vetted by the Mashable team.

The M4 Apple MacBook Airs

Apple's latest MacBook Air is lightweight, quiet, and faster than 83% of the laptops in our entire testing database — it's a really impressive ultraportable. The 15-inch model is my top pick for most people, but the 13-inch model is great for college students and other users who want something a little cheaper and more portable. Both sizes were regularly on sale on Amazon for $200 off earlier this fall, and I really didn't think they'd get any cheaper at this point in their life cycles (considering they're still well under a year old). Shockingly, they're now $250 off at Amazon and Best Buy.

$1,199 Save $250   Get Deal The 14-inch M5 Apple MacBook Pro

The all-new MacBook Pro is my splurge pick if you want an Apple laptop with even more power, a brighter 120Hz display, more ports for creative work, and crazy-good stamina. (At 21 hours and 17 minutes, it has the longest battery life of any MacBook we've ever tried.) It debuted in mid-October at a starting price of $1,599 to a rave review from our tech editor. Right now, the base configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is just $1,399 at Amazon and Best Buy — a whopping $200 off. That's a massive discount on a brand-spanking-new laptop.

$1,599 Save $200   Get Deal A refurbished 13-inch M2 Apple MacBook Air

If you're in the market for a dirt-cheap-but-not-too-outdated MacBook, Best Buy has a refurbished 13-inch M2 MacBook Air from 2022 on sale for just $499.99. Walmart is selling the older M1 model for $549 as part of its Black Friday programming, so this is a genuine steal. It has a better 1080p FaceTime camera, a lighter design, and a bigger, brighter, display compared to its predecessor, and it runs about 15% faster. Since it only comes with 8GB of RAM, it's best suited for simple everyday tasks like web browsing and sending emails.

UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2025, 1:10 p.m. EST This deal was sold out at the time of writing, but Best Buy could revive it sometime later this Cyber Weekend. You can sign up for restock notifications on its product page.

$749 Save $249.01   Learn More The 13.8-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7

Microsoft's current flagship laptop is a well-rounded machine with a virtually unrivaled 23-hour battery life, speedy everyday performance, amazing build quality, and an elegant, lightweight design. The 13.8-inch model with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU is my favorite Windows laptop for most people, and the silver model with my ideal daily driver setup (16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage) is down to an all-time low of $869.99 for Black Friday 2025. It usually sells for $1,399.99, so you're saving 38%. Meanwhile, it's $999.99 at Best Buy and on Microsoft's website.

$1,399.99 Save $530   Get Deal The Acer Aspire 16 AI

This $699.99 Windows laptop wowed me with its 17-hour battery life, great mix of ports, relatively lightweight frame, 120Hz touchscreen, and peppy performance. (It's the fastest sub-$900 laptop we've reviewed.) Amazon has it on sale for just $449.99, or 36% off.

$699.99 Save $250   Get Deal The Asus Zenbook A14

The Zenbook A14 is an awesome MacBook Air alternative with a beauteous OLED display, a 22-hour battery life, and a lightweight but sturdy design. It's actually 0.3 pounds lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air (and it starts with double the storage for the same price). Best Buy's 45% Black Friday discount brings it down to just $549.99, which is a new all-time low.

$999.99 Save $450   Get Deal The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x

If you can shell out an extra $250, you'll get an even nicer OLED display in the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x. It has a higher 3K resolution than the Zenbook A14, a better 90Hz refresh rate, and added touchscreen capabilities. It's a teensy bit faster, too, and it doesn't sacrifice much battery life — I got almost 20 hours out of it in my testing. Best Buy currently sells the base model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $799.99, down from its usual price of $1,299.99. A 1TB version is available on Lenovo's website for $929.99, or 27% off.

$1,299.99 Save $500   Get Deal The Lenovo LOQ 15

The AMD-powered Lenovo LOQ 15 is "the perfect starter gaming laptop," says Mashable tech editor Timothy Beck Werth; he's been working through his first Cyberpunk 2077 run on an RTX 5060 configuration. I can't find that one listed anywhere, but this RTX 5050 model is on sale for just $799.99 during Lenovo's Black Friday sale (or 33% off). It should be capable of running most graphically demanding AAA games at 60fps on a 1080p resolution. It features a 144Hz refresh rate and a spacious anti-ghosting backlit keyboard, plus a healthy terabyte of storage.

$1,189.99 Save $390   Get Deal The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14

The ROG Zephyrus G14 is the ultimate non-gamey gaming laptop: With a 3.3-pound, 0.6-inch thin aluminum design and a beautiful 3K OLED display, it could easily be confused with a silver MacBook Pro. We tested an AMD model with RTX 4060 graphics last year, and I found the next-gen version on sale for only $1,299.99 at Best Buy. It usually retails for $1,799.99, so you pocket $500 in savings.

$1,799.99 Save $500   Get Deal The Alienware 16X Aurora

The Alienware 16X Aurora is my favorite gaming laptop for most people. It's an excellent mid-ranger featuring a 2.5K 240Hz matte display, a satisfying keyboard with one-zone RGB backlighting, and an attractive, port-packed design. The $1,999.99 variant I tested has a high-end Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of storage, and it's not on sale just yet. However, the same model with double the storage is only $1,649.99 on Dell's website (normally $2,099.99). That beats a competing deal at Best Buy by $50.

$2,099.99 Save $450.00   Get Deal The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (Gen 10)

If you need more screen space than a regular laptop offers but don't love the idea of hauling around a separate monitor, allow me to introduce you to the latest Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It's a gorgeous dual-screen laptop with twin 2.8K 120Hz OLED displays, a smooth detachable keyboard, and a zippy processor. (It's actually slightly speedier than an M4 MacBook Pro.)

This laptop is usually priced at $2,079.99, but Lenovo has it on sale for just $1,559.99 — a 25% savings. It's a better value than ever, especially when you add the fact that its matching mouse, stylus, keyboard case, and protective sleeve case are all included.

$2,079.99 Save $520.00   Get Deal The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus

Lenovo's convertible Chromebook Plus is my favorite Chromebook for most buyers because of its stellar build quality, decent performance, great speakers, and nice keyboard. There are two configurations available for $599: One with an Intel Core i5-1334U processor and 256GB of storage (which we tested), and another with a less powerful Intel Core i3-1315U processor and 128GB of storage. The latter is obviously a worse value at full price, but Best Buy is currently selling it for $349 (or $250 off), making it a great option for budget shoppers with basic needs.

$599 Save $250   Get Deal The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514

Acer's all-new Chromebook Plus Spin 514 features an unrivaled 18-hour battery life and a fast processor (relatively speaking) with an NPU that supports two exclusive AI features. I've tried the Best Buy-exclusive configuration that has 12GB of memory and a 120Hz touchscreen display, which retails for $699, and I'm kind of obsessed with it. It's overkill for most Chromebook users, sure, but it's definitely worth considering if you want a high-end, super-future-proofed model — especially now that it's $100 off for Black Friday. It's never been on sale before.

The best Black Friday drone deals at a glance: Best DJI drone deal DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo $309 (save $80) Get Deal Best Holy Stone drone deal Holy Stone HS720G Drone Bundle $191.99 (save $166) Get Deal

Drones have been all over the news lately, mainly due of DJI. While it's not official yet, it's possible that DJI drones will face a ban come December. Yes, December as in just a few weeks away. That means shopping Black Friday sales could be your last chance to snag a DJI drone, for a while at least.

Of course, this is 2025, and nothing is unexpected, so the buzz of a DJI ban could get swept off the table in an instant. But to be sure, consider this a great time to buy a new DJI drone, or any drone, for that matter.

Check back here as we continue to update this article throughout the Black Friday sale period. Keep in mind that if you're going with a DJI model, you might have to buy from a third-party seller. We've only included third-party sellers with positive reviews over the last year.

$389 Save $80   Get Deal Why we like it

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the DJI Mini 4K Drone is great for both beginners and expert drone fliers. Plus, it weighs less than 249 grams, which is the threshold for not needing a license in most locations to fly the drone. Other nice features of the DJI Mini 4K are the one-touch takeoff and landing function, in addition to the "return-to-home" command. Today's deal on the bundle gives you two batteries for up to 62 minutes of flight time. According to our favorite Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest Amazon has ever offered for this bundle.

Amazon's Black Friday sale officially kicked off on Nov. 20, a full week ahead of Black Friday proper. But as you probably know at this point, the actual dates of the sale are blurred beyond recognition. Many deals, particularly on Amazon's own devices, were already live days before the event — and will likely stick around after all is said and done. Other than Prime Day, Black Friday season is the best time of year to score an Amazon device for cheap.

SEE ALSO: What is camelcamelcamel? Just our secret weapon for finding the lowest prices on Amazon.

Plenty of Fire tablets, Fire TVs, Fire TV Sticks, and Blink security cameras hit record-low prices early on. We were particularly impressed by the Fire TV deals, with some 2025 models up to $210 off. Not to mention the best Fire Stick deal I've personally ever seen is still going strong. Echo speakers and smart displays, as well as Kindles, were slower to trickle in, but have now dropped to truly epic all-time lows as well.

Amazon's best iPad competitor and our favorite Fire tablet, the Fire Max 11, is down to $189.99 (for the version with double storage) at Amazon during its Black Friday sale — more than 30% in savings. As Mashable's reviewer noted, "The Amazon Fire Max 11 has a large, 11-inch display and is blazing fast, making it a good alternative to pricier tablets for streaming and games." It also features 8MP cameras that support 1080p video, an octa-core processor, WiFi 6 compatibility, and a 14-hour battery life. While it is a couple of years old, it's the newest generation of the tablet available. (The 64GB model is currently sold out after a popular 39% early Black Friday discount. We'll let you know when it returns.)

The newest and fanciest Fire TV in Amazon's lineup, the 2025 Omni Mini-LED Fire TV is loaded up with specs. It packs hands-free Alexa, Interactive Art Mode (similar to Samsung's The Frame), a 144Hz refresh rate, and Intelligent Picture technology, which can fine-tune the details of whatever you're watching. With a 4K QLED mini-LED display featuring Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, up to 1,400 nits of peak brightness, and 768 dimming zones, it's easily the best Fire TV picture quality to date. And now that the 55-inch model is down to only $694.99 — its lowest price on record — it's almost in budget-friendly territory.

Though Amazon is no longer basically giving away the Fire TV Stick 4K Select (we're keeping our eyes peeled for the return of coupon code that brought it down to $9.99) it's still a pretty solid deal at $19.99. It's the newest Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup and offers vibrant 4K quality with HDR10+ support, a new operating system called Vega, and the same plug-and-play design you know and love. It will soon also offer support for Alexa+, Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, Amazon Kids+, and NordVPN.

$99.99 Save $10   Get Deal Why we like it

One of Amazon's most popular speakers got a boost last month. Meet the Echo Dot Max — a refreshed smart speaker built for Alexa+, the superpowered AI assistant that can do more than ever before. The Echo Dot Max is small (just slightly bigger than the Echo Dot), but powerful enough to fill large spaces with its 0.8-inch tweeter and a 2.5-inch woofer that support lossless, high-definition audio. It even has an included smart home hub. This is the first discount we've seen yet on the month-old speaker.

I've said it before, but the basic Kindle is my pride and joy, and I annoyingly recommend it to everyone I talk to. I projected it would drop to $79.99 for Black Friday, and I've never been so pleased to be right. That's $30 cheaper than usual and its best price to date. The basic Kindle is the most compact Amazon e-reader — it's small enough to slip into my purse — and has the same screen resolution and paper-like display as its more expensive sibling. The only downside is it's not waterproof, so just be extra careful when reading near water.

Black Friday is technically over, but most of the savings live on for a little while longer. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised at how many big price drops we've seen on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.

Whether you want to gear up for cold-weather adventures, stock up for spring and summer camping, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We're tracking all of the best Black Friday outdoor deals below as we head into Cyber Monday, so check back for the latest deals.

Some popular favorites got the real deal treatment for Black Friday — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro. Thankfully, for all you procrastinators out there, most of those deals are still live as we head into Cyber Monday. We've even spied some deals on outdoor apparel from Arc'teryx on sale.

Be sure to follow along with Mashable's coverage of every category in our Black Friday and Cyber Monday hubs.

Best Black Friday outdoor deal Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 $679 at Amazon
$1,499 Save $820   Get Deal Why we like it

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. It dropped to a record-low $699 for Black Friday — $800 off its $1,499 list price — and we didn't think it could get any lower. But somehow, post-Black Friday, it dropped another $20. In this case, procrastinating paid off.

Note: Amazon has deflated its list price, which sells this deal short. It's usually listed for $1,499, making it a much more impressive 55% in savings.

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 dropped it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy. And thankfully, the deal is still live post-Black Friday if you missed out.

Instead of dealing with the hassle of melting ice, upgrading your outdoor adventures with an electric cooler is one of the most convenient luxuries. The powerful Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler is easy use and transport, and you can set the temperature as a freezer or refrigerator. Not only will the cooler keep your foods perfectly chilled for days, the battery that powers up the electric cooler can also recharge your phone at the campground.

Black Friday 2025 is here.

The shopping holiday, which could more accurately be described as a shopping mega-event, has retailers dropping sales all throughout the month of November and into early December. The days of lining up outside of your local Target in the freezing late-night hours of Thanksgiving are long gone. The sheer amount of savings that can be found online during Black Friday and Cyber Week is unmatched by any other sale.

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

Great as the savings potential may be, it's an overwhelming amount of information for any normal person to take in. But that's exactly the type of chaos that our team of shopping experts is used to, and we've been sourcing the Black Friday deals worth your money around the clock. We've also created this guide to Black Friday to give you the professional inside scoop on how to make the most out of the sales, from tracking store opening times to price matching policies to tips on how to fact-check sale price history. Just want to see the best deals? We're tracking those by the hour, too — here are 100+ of the best Black Friday deals from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and more.

When is Black Friday 2025 officially?

The actual date of Black Friday falls on Friday, Nov. 28. However, most retailers' sales went live before and last past the actual day of Black Friday. Here are some of the major retailer sales we're tracking this year:

• Amazon: Amazon's Black Friday sale starts Thursday, Nov. 20, and ends on Monday, Dec. 1.

• Best Buy: In-stores and online from Thursday, Nov. 20 to Friday, Nov. 29.

• Walmart: Online only from Tuesday, Nov. 25 to Thursday, Nov. 27; online and in-store from Friday, Nov. 28 to Sunday, Nov. 30; online only for Cyber Monday on Dec. 1.

• Target: Target's Black Friday sale starts Sunday, Nov. 23, and runs through Saturday, Nov. 29. Stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day. More deals will drop from Nov. 27 to Nov. 29.

When do stores open on Black Friday?

Seasoned shoppers are painfully aware that in-store Black Friday shopping hours start early. While "the crack of dawn" isn't exactly specific enough, the main retailers are making it easy this year: Best Buy, Walmart, and Target stores all open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday 2025, or Nov. 28. Here's a quick rundown of each big store's Black Friday hours into Cyber Weekend hours, all in your local time:

Best Buy: Best Buy opens at 6 a.m. on Black Friday 2025, closing at 10 p.m. On Saturday, Nov. 29, Best Buy opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. On Sunday, Nov. 30, Best Buy opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m. On Cyber Monday, Best Buy opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m.

Walmart: Walmart opens at 6 a.m. on Black Friday 2025 and closes at 11 p.m., following the retailer's regular business hours. Walmart's Cyber Weekend store hours follow this same schedule. Double-check the normal business hours of your local Walmart.

Target: Target opens at 6 a.m. on Black Friday 2025 and closes at regular closing time, which is typically 11 p.m. on weekends. Target will be open at its regular weekend hours on Saturday and Sunday, which is usually 7 or 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Times vary by location.

How long do Black Friday sales last?

Though Black Friday deals start weeks early, most sales wrap up with Cyber Monday, which this year falls on Monday, Dec. 1. Historically, we have seen some deals linger into Tuesday (and sometimes even the rest of what's called Cyber Week), but if that's the case, we'll be sure to track any markdowns in our ongoing deals coverage.

Though the when of Black Friday has changed over the years, the what of Black Friday stays true to its origins. That's to say, if you're shopping for tech gadgets, appliances, home and kitchen products, toys, or even cars, then Black Friday is the best time of the year to shop. In terms of tech, we especially recommend taking advantage of Black Friday deals on TVs, laptops, headphones, Apple products, Amazon devices, and robot vacuums, all of which typically see new record-low sale prices for the year during Black Friday.

Granted, nothing is really off limits on Black Friday — you're likely to find pretty much anything under the sun on sale during the shopping holiday. We've spotted lots of unbeatable deals on outdoor and camping gear, Lego and toys, gaming consoles, stocking stuffers, and reusable water bottles on sale in years' past.

• QLED and OLED TVs from Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense, and TCL, plus Fire TVs

We're live tracking the Best Black Friday deals across the internet — check out our handpicked list of 100+ Black Friday deals that are actually worth your money.

Do any stores price-match Black Friday deals?

Short answer: not really, or at least, not against each other. Long answer: Earlier this year, Target ended its price-matching policy, which allowed customers to price-match from competitors' stock at the time of purchase or within 14 days. Target stood alone as the sole retailer with an official price-matching policy last Black Friday.

This year, Target still has its holiday price match policy, which allows you to price match against Target's own prices, from Nov. 1 to Dec. 24. That means if you buy something at Target and it gets discounted later, you can get still get the discount. Best Buy also offers a price match policy year-round, but it excludes products on sale from "the Thursday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving," essentially excluding them from Black Friday price matching. Amazon and Walmart offer no price match policies.

How to shop smart on Black Friday

It's easy to get caught up in the swarm of markdowns and record-low prices that pop up during Black Friday. The best way to avoid buyer's remorse and actually score the savings you want? Come in with a plan and understanding the tools at your disposal. Here's what we mean:

Make a game plan

This may seem basic, but making a list of what you're shopping for can go such a long way to avoid deals FOMO. Begin by creating a list for yourself, and then consider what holiday gifts you need to purchase. This can help you whittle down the absolute essentials of what you want to grab.

SEE ALSO: The best Black Friday deals under $25: Apple AirTag, Echo Pop, Fire TV Stick

That said, it's also great to have a general understanding of what will be available, so take a peek at the latest Black Friday ad scans (again, ideally after you've made your own list). For your convenience, we've perused the major ones, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Lowe's, and Home Depot.

As a final step, having a sense of your holiday shopping budget can be helpful in avoiding overspending (or at the very least, having some awareness that it's happening).

Organize your Amazon wishlist

In line with making a game plan, you'll want to dust off your Amazon wishlist and make sure it's up to date. Amazon has convenient wishlist alert features, which can definitely come in handy during the chaos of Black Friday.

Download retailer apps

As annoying as having too many apps on your phone can be, downloading apps from retailers like Best Buy and Walmart can make shopping easier and give you access to exclusive deals. That's especially true for Best Buy, which likes to offer limited-time deals available only on its app.

Use price tracking tools

Tracking a product's price history is a pretty foolproof way to make sure the Black Friday price you're seeing is actually that product's lowest price of the year. The unanimous favorite of the Mashable Shopping team is camelcamelcamel, an Amazon price tracking tool that details essential knowledge like that item's sale price history throughout the rest of the year.

If you're seeing a good Black Friday deal at another retailer like Best Buy or Walmart, you can still check that product's price history at Amazon to see if Best Buy or Walmart is actually offering a new and exciting price. For example, that's how we found out that Best Buy's Black Friday deal on the coveted 65-inch LG C5 isn't that special — the same TV had been at that Black Friday price on Amazon since October.

Of course, we also recommend following along the Mashable shopping team's Black Friday coverage — we make sure to take the full context of a deal into account to only choose the best of the best.

Which day has cheaper deals, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

While these were once two distinct days of deals, the month-long-ifcation of Black Friday essentially means that both Black Friday and Cyber Monday get wrapped up into one long wave of discounts to punctuate the end of the month. That's not to say what's available on Black Friday will absolutely be better or worse than what's available on Cyber Monday.

Historically, we've seen really good TV deals on Black Friday sell out by Cyber Monday, while laptop deals tend to stick around (and therefore, be worth holding out for any additional price drops come Cyber Monday). Ultimately, though, if you see a deal you're interested in during Black Friday weekend, chances are it's worth grabbing it when you spot it.

Black Friday sale celebrations are now extending into Cyber Weekend. If you're shopping on a budget this year or are looking for lower-cost items to fill in gifting gaps and grab some stocking stuffers, plenty of great Black Friday deals come in at under $50.

That's great news given the pricing chaos we've all endured in 2025. It's nice to feel we can let loose and indulge in a bit of spending.
