While the Friday after Thanksgiving has traditionally been the busiest shopping day of the year, Black Friday deals have gradually spread well beyond the day. First came Cyber Monday, then Cyber Week. Now, early Black Friday deals kick off before November has even started. The tricky part for early birds is knowing what’s a genuine deal and what’s likely to go even lower when Black Friday arrives.

The Reviews team at WIRED tracks prices on our favorite gadgets year-round, and we only highlight deals on devices we've tested and would recommend to our own friends and family. Some of these picks may be cheaper for Black Friday, but these are the discounts that have caught our eye so far.

Updated November 11: We've added new deals on headphones, mobile accessories, kitchen appliances, vacuums, and more. We also removed some discontinued deals and checked for accuracy throughout.

The best trackers for anyone with an iPhone; you can use them to keep tabs on your keys, luggage, bike, or whatever else you worry might go missing. Each AirTag location is marked clearly in the Find My app. The battery should last you a year, and we have a guide on how to replace your AirTag battery. Just please don’t use them to track people. This is the lowest price we have seen on the single tag, but it drops this low pretty frequently.

If you want to pair wireless earbuds with your iPhone and enjoy a seamless, feature-rich experience, you should snag the AirPods Pro 3. They are comfy, boast top-notch active noise cancellation, and can even translate some languages in real time. That said, they are at this price often enough that I hesitate to call it a great deal, and they will likely drop by another $20 for Black Friday.

For Apple fans with an iPhone or MacBook, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are the best over-ear headphones. They offer great sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and good transparency modes. They are usually a little too pricey for our tastes compared to Sony and Bose options, but at $100 off, they look more tempting. Before you pull the trigger, they will likely drop by at least another $30 for Black Friday.

With excellent noise canceling, 30-hour battery life, and loads of customization options, the Sony WH-1000XM6 are a great pair of headphones. They're also stylish and comfy with a mix of easy-to-use touch controls and physical buttons. They have dropped this low a couple of times, but we've never seen them lower.

This is one of our favorite 3-in-1 chargers for keeping your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch charged up from a single outlet. The unique feature is its height adjustability, which lets it pull double duty as a tripod for shooting video or FaceTime calls with family or friends. It has been on sale (close to half price) for a while now but has never been lower than $60 at Best Buy. Snap it up while you still can.

Moft does a lovely line of origami-style folding stands and wallets for iPhones and other magnetic Qi2 phones. The accessory maker has an early Black Friday sale on now with up to 30 percent off this and other accessories.

Looking for a power bank that can keep your laptop, phone, and other gadgets powered up on the go? Look no further. The EcoFlow Rapid Pro is my top power bank for laptops because of the 27,650 mAh-capacity (allowed on flights), three USB-C ports (rated at 140 watts, 65 watts, and 65 watts) and retractable 2-foot USB-C cable (rated at 140 watts).

Gadgets are too boring. I want more anthropomorphized devices in my life. Ugreen simply added a wee robot face to this wireless charger that changes its expression based on the charging status. I immediately like it more than all my old faceless chargers. The charging pad supports Qi2/MagSafe and tilts up to 70 degrees to reveal a second pad to charge AirPods or other wireless earbuds. It even has a USB-C port for a third gadget. At 40 percent off, this is the lowest price I’ve seen.

I always associate Black Friday with footage of excited shoppers struggling to carry huge TVs out of big box stores. The reality is that most Black Friday TV deals are on terrible models you should never buy. But the Samsung S95H OLED TV is a great performer that promises accurate color with deep and rich blacks, and an AI Optimized picture mode. The recessed silver bezel sits behind the main OLED panel, and is designed to resemble a metal picture frame. This is the lowest price we've seen on this TV.

My pick for the best budget Wi-Fi router dips down to this price fairly often, but it’s a great deal for a Wi-Fi 7 router with four antennas, a 2.5-Gbps WAN, a 2.5-Gbps LAN, and three gigabit LAN ports. It’s only dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), so there’s no 6-GHz option, and performance is limited, but for a small home with modest demands, this is a tough price to beat.

A good laptop docking station lets you convert your laptop into a desktop for a comfier experience when you’re working from home, and this compact beauty from Belkin is one of our top picks. GaN technology (gallium nitride semiconductors, a faster, more compact alternative to silicon) lets Belkin pack more ports than you can shake a USB-C cable at, including 96-watt power delivery, three 4K display ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, and more. This deal equals the lowest price we’ve seen.

This security camera records video at up to 2K at 30 frames per second, offers a 150-degree field of view, and connects directly to your Wi-Fi network. The Tapo app can detect motion (person, pet, vehicle) and enables you to set activity zones and privacy zones. The two-way audio is okay, and there’s a built-in alarm function. You can also slip a microSD card in for local recording. It lacks HDR, but it still earns a spot in our best outdoor security cameras guide. It has bounced between $90 and $65 for the last year, but it’s now down to $60.

It may not be one of the best video doorbells you can buy, but at this sale price, Blink’s latest wired doorbell is the cheapest option worth considering. It delivers reasonably good 2K footage and passable two-way audio, though it’s definitely less responsive than some other options on the market. If you want person detection and cloud storage, you’ll also need to spring for the subscription (from $3 a month). The battery version is also on sale at $39 ($41 off).

Permanent outdoor lights are a great way to avoid having to get up the ladder every holiday season. They offer simple white lighting, different colors, and also holiday-themed lighting effects. Eufy’s lights aren’t the brightest, but they hold up well against the competition and support Matter, so you can tie them into any smart home ecosystem. All lengths are on sale, but the 200-foot string has the best discount and is at its lowest price ever.

If you like to run an organized household, the best digital wall calendars are sure to appeal. You can use them to sync your digital calendars, create lists of chores, and plan your family meals. The Everblog HomeCal is our pick for folks who can’t stomach another subscription. It also works like a digital photo frame if you upload your snaps, and you can log into apps like Netflix and Spotify on it. This is the lowest we’ve seen it drop so far. Clip the coupon for an extra $50 off.

Learning about the wildlife in your garden can be a lot of fun, and the best smart bird feeders are an ideal way to see which feathered friends are in the area. The thoughtfully designed Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 has a removable 1.5-liter dual-hopper seed reservoir, is easy to clean, and boasts a solar roof to keep the camera charged up. It snaps 8-megapixel photos, captures 4K video, and includes a nifty AI bird-identification feature. We’ve seen it on sale before, but never this low.

If you have a challenging lawn, this may be the best robot mower for you. It can navigate rough terrain, steep slopes, and tree cover with its combination of GPS, lidar, and AI vision, cutting grass evenly and accurately. This version can cover 0.75 acres, and is at the lowest price I've ever seen it.

This recently released designer minifridge from Rocco is being tested by WIRED editor Kat Merck, but so far, she likes it. It has a minimalist design, a dark glass door, and sliding drawers for smooth organization of all your must-have snacks and drinks. Some might use it for wine or beer, but I dream of this bedside for a crisp Diet Coke and some midnight charcuterie. Every color is discounted for Black Friday.

This affordable espresso machine is even more affordable than usual right now. It's got a shiny chrome finish, with buttons for steam and single or double shots, plus a pressure gauge, a 15-bar pump, an effective steam wand, and fast heating. We've seen it dip lower ($120), but it's still a bargain at $150.

This cordless vacuum boasts three cleaning modes, a HEPA filter, and a newly designed cleaner head. It can handle hard floors and soft carpet, with dual rotating conical brush bars that prevent tangled hair. It's our top pick of the more affordable Dyson vacuum cleaners, and is cheaper than we've ever seen it right now.

With the ability to mop and vacuum your floors, map multiple floors, and self-clean, the Eufy Omni C28 is a decent option for most homes. This is the budget pick in our best robot vacuums guide. Despite the $800 MSRP, it often drops to $500, but it's even less than that right now, a better deal than usual.

If you're unfamiliar, rucking is walking or hiking with a weighted vest or backpack, and it's an easy way to up your cardio game and build strength. I just started using this weighted vest and it's far more comfortable than a backpack. If you get joint pain when you run, this is a great alternative way to turn your walks into workouts.
