I've found 42 cheap early Black Friday deals you won't want to miss this weekend – starting from $8

Walmart Plus: save 50% on an annual Walmart Plus membership
For a limited time, you can save 50% on an annual Walmart Plus membership, which brings the price down to just $49 a year. Walmart Plus perks include free shipping with no minimum order, a free Paramount+ or Peacock subscription, discounts on gas, and early access to sales.

At just 274 pieces, this Lego Botanicals Mini Orchid set stands at over 10 inches with plenty of pedals, and like all other Lego flower sets, it never needs to be watered. More precisely, you’ll build five Orchid flowers, a few leaves, and the pot on a faux-wooden plinth. This would likely make a great gift and an epic desk or living space addition. Best of all, this Lego Botanicals set is $23.95 on Amazon right now.

The Apple AirTag is Amazon's top-selling tech gadget, and would make an excellent stocking stuffer at just $24. You can track keys, your wallet, or luggage by attaching the AirTag to anything you don't want to lose. Your iPhone will then locate the item.

This is an excellent tech gadget for the upcoming holidays – the Govee smart plug, which can add smart capabilities to any device in your home for just $22.14. The smart plug works with Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant, allowing you to control lights and appliances with just your voice.

I already own a couple of these devices, and at just $24.99, it's time to stock up again. The TP-Link AC1200 boosts Wi-Fi internet coverage up to 1,500 square feet and connects up to 30 devices. At this price, it's a must-buy for your home or office.

This convenient wall charger is a must-buy for all your gadgets, and it's on sale for just $8.99 at Amazon's early sale. The three-sided charger features five outlets, four USB charging ports, a fireproof shell, and surge protection.

This is a holiday gift that people will actually want and use – a portable charger. This specific model boasts more than 65,000 reviews on Amazon and features a compact design with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, enabling you to charge three devices at the same time.

Okay, okay, I know this is just a few bucks more than $25, but I had to include it in this gift guide because it's such a steal, thanks to a 38% discount at Amazon. The Anker Soundcore 2 features a spiral bass port for enhanced low-end impact, and IPX7 waterproofing – that means it can be submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Yes, really. All of that for less than $30? This is a great bargain and gift idea for the upcoming holidays.

If you haven't heard, wired headphones are all the rage, which is why Apple's EarPods for $15.96 made it onto this gift guide. A slim, quality-looking design, clear sound, and comfortable fit are just a few of their best qualities. This model works with all devices that have a Lightning connector – which is iPhone 14 and before – so if you've got a newer iPhone you'll instead want the USB-C version ($16.99 at Amazon).

The AirPods 4 are Apple's cheapest AirPods, and you can find them on sale for an impressive price of $84.99. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and feature Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You also get a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and support for USB-C for wireless charging.

Apple's best-selling AirPods Pro 2 sound excellent, offer top-tier noise cancellation, feature Dolby Atmos spatial audio, which is amazing for movies, and they even have an unlosable case, thanks to technology that points you to where it's hiding (and a speaker to help, too). Today's Black Friday deal from Walmart is a record-low price and I don't expect it to stay in stock for long.

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have all the power and sound quality you’d expect from a Bose-branded item while providing the benefits of an open-ear form factor. The immersive audio is excellent and there’s up to seven hours of play time – or up to 48 hours in total of standby time. Although they have been under $200 in the past, this is still a great price for what we think are the "best-sounding open-ear buds yet", according to our Bose Ultra Open Earbuds review.

These top-end headphones from Bose are incredible: delivering best-ever audio detail, balance, and expansiveness – and they have the strongest noise cancellation we've ever heard, too. They also offer other premium features, such as spatial audio, app customization, multi-point connectivity, and more. Sure, they're a pricey pair, but we think they're worth it – especially after this $100 discount.

I helped compile a full review of these headphones and while they're not sonically perfect (the sound is a little bass-heavy – but could be ideal for those who like that kind of presentation) for this ultra-low fee the audio is much better than it's any right to be. Also, the build feels far more premium than even the MSRP suggests and the battery life, at up to 70 hours, or 44 with ANC deployed, is unheard of for the level. Read our full JLab JBuds Lux ANC review for more, but know this: JLab is a trusted name in affordable head-fi and these over-ear headphones won't disappoint for this silly money.

If you're shopping for a little one, Amazon's Echo Pop speaker for kids would make a fantastic gift. For just $24.99, you get an Alexa-enabled smart speaker that can play kid-friendly songs and audiobooks. The Echo Pop also features easy-to-use parental controls and is available in  Disney Princess and Marvel's Avengers designs.

If you'd prefer to gift a Roku streaming device, Walmart has the Roku Premiere 4K for just under $20. You can stream all your favorites in 4K, HD, or HDR from Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Prime Video, and many others. You can also use the Roku app for voice control, allowing you to control your TV hands-free.

Give the gift of streaming with Amazon's best-selling Fire TV Stick HD, now on sale for just $19.99. The streaming device is a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV, including access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls, and the ability to control other smart home devices.

As the name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high definition 4K resolution. It's a good offer for a solid streaming stick that comes with access to all the major apps and supports voice controls through Alexa. Amazon's pre-Black Friday deal shaves 40% off the retail price.

STARZ, MGM+ and AMC+ bundle (Prime Video-add-on): was $28.97 per month now $19.99 at Prime Video
Enjoy the benefits of three different streaming services with a 7-day free trial across STARZ, MGM+ and AMC+. This bundle is very good value and is an effective way to get the most out of your Prime Video subscription.

Shudder and MGM+ bundle (Prime Video add-on): was $16.98 per month now $11.99 at Prime Video
Enjoy a 7-day free trial of Shudder and MGM+ before saving close to 30% on the usual monthly bundle price. This bundle is ideal for horror fans, I highly recommend grabbing it to unlock plenty of great creepy movies and shows.

I've had my eye on the Blink Mini 2 since its release, and now that it's on sale for $17.99, it's a must-buy. The compact security camera features two-way audio and will alert your phone when motion is detected. The Blink 2 also includes a 1080p HD live view, night view in color with a built-in spotlight, and a wider field of view.

One of my favorite early Black Friday deals at Amazon is the all-new Blink Video Doorbell at its lowest price ever. The Blink doorbell alerts you when motion is detected and features infrared night vision, two-way audio, a two-year battery life, and an expanded field of view.

I already own the best-selling Ring Video Doorbell and can't imagine living without it. The smart doorbell includes a built-in battery and allows you to see, hear, and speak to anyone from your phone or computer. Today's deal from Amazon is a new record-low price, and I can't imagine it will drop further on Black Friday.

This is a holiday gift that people will actually want and use – a portable charger. This specific model boasts more than 65,000 reviews on Amazon and features a compact design with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, enabling you to charge three devices at the same time.

While we typically don't see good Black Friday Apple deals until the actual date, this $50 discount on the new Apple Watch SE 3 is an excellent bargain. The Apple Watch SE 2 currently holds the position as the best budget smartwatch, but the SE 3 more than matches it – and it's a smarter buy while it's on sale ahead of Black Friday.

The JBL Tune 510BT are Amazon's best-selling headphones and would make a great stocking stuffer at just $24.95. The headphones feature Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Streaming, so you can stream music and podcasts and take calls from your device, and you'll enjoy an impressive 40 hours of battery life. They also come with JBL's renowned Pure Bass sound. If you need something inexpensive and you need it now, it's hard to argue with this price tag… 

This might be my favorite early Black Friday deal _ Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet for $54.99, thanks to an impressive 45% discount. While not the most powerful tablet available, the Fire HD 8 has what you need to cover the essentials, including web browsing, sending emails, watching videos, and some light gaming. Battery life is impressive, lasting up to 13 hours, making it ideal for on-the-go use or when you're just relaxing on the couch.

If your children are of the age where they're after something a bit more capable when it comes to tech, then this Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet is a solid upgrade. It has all the parental controls, safety features, and protective measures, and an impressive 13-hour battery life. Today's pre-Black Friday deal is a return to the record-low price.

Amazon is also offering the larger Fire HD 10 tablet for $69.99 during today's early sale. It features a large, bright 10-inch Full HD display, 3GB of RAM, and an octa-core processor for enhanced performance. The tablet also works with Amazon Alexa and provides an impressive 12 hours of battery life.

Amazon's best-selling 40-inch 2-Series HD smart TV is down to just $149.99. While the Amazon 2-Series TV lacks 4K resolution, it offers smart capabilities through the Fire TV experience and Amazon Alexa, providing hands-free control.

Best Buy's latest doorbusters include this 40-inch TV on sale for a super-low price of $89.99. While the Insignia F40 is just a basic HD display, you get smart capabilities with the Fire TV experience and Amazon Alexa on board for hands-free control at a bargain price. It's far from the best TV in the world, but if you need something small and basic for the kitchen, bedroom, or a kid's room, then this is fine for the job.

This early Black Friday deal on the Gourmia 8-quart air fryer for just $39 is an absolute steal, and I can't imagine it will stick around for too much longer. Perfect for families, the Gourmia air fryer features an 8-quart basket and eight one-touch cooking functions for quick and easy meals.

Bissell carpet cleaners are a Walmart bestseller, and the retailer has the top-rated Little Green model on sale for $78.97—the lowest price available. Perfect for pet owners and parents, the portable carpet cleaner can magically erase spills and stains on carpets, couches, auto interiors, and more.

Make your beloved iced coffee at home and save money with the Keurig K-Iced coffee maker, which is on sale for just $44.97 for Black Friday. The coffee maker can brew hot and cold coffee in minutes with Keurig's convenient K-Cup Pods and automatically adjusts brew temperature for full-flavor tasting iced coffee.

Ninja is a top small appliance manufacturer and this is a big saving on one of its largest, most powerful and most versatile blenders. As well as a large volume 72-oz blender and a 64-oz round bowl for larger mixes, you also get two smaller 16-oz single-serving cups that are ideal for making juices and smoothies to take on the go. All of this for under $100 is a bit of a bargain in my eyes.

Walmart's cheapest Shark vacuum is actually a mop. The top-rated Shark Vacmop is on sale for only $56.84. The mop cleans hard floors with powerful suction, combined with spray mopping, for an all-in-one clean on one pad.

The Asus Chromebook CM15 is an excellent option from Walmart, providing a solid, basic laptop experience at just $139. It doesn't always have to be the biggest and the fastest; sometimes all you need is a laptop that gets the job done, and a decent amount of storage.

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - Intel Core i3
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 128GB

If you're looking for a budget laptop, Walmart has HP's 15.6-inch laptop for just $279. For that money, you're getting an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB of SSD, and up to 10 hours of battery life.

This deal from Walmart on the HP Touch Chromebook is ideal for students seeking a versatile machine that can handle the basics. As a Chromebook, it doesn't require much power under the hood to run, so the combination of 4GB of RAM and an Intel chipset is ideal for tasks such as checking emails or web browsing.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL: was $1,199 now $599, plus one year of unlimited data for $15/mo at Mint Mobile
The Pixel 10 Pro XL has been $400 off at Mint Mobile before, but the carrier's current deal has just ratcheted up the discount to a record-breaking $800 off. On top of the phone discount, you can also bundle in one full year of unlimited data for half price - paying just $180 upfront. Note, however, that this deal is for new customers only.

Samsung Galaxy S25: was $800 now $350, plus one year of unlimited data for $15/mo at Mint Mobile
Here's another incredible deal from Mint Mobile. The carrier is also offering a massive $450 price cut on all three of the latest Galaxy S25 series devices alongside a full year of super-cheap unlimited data. While the discounts here aren't quite as good as those on the Pixel 10 series at the carrier this week, these are still easily record-low prices on the devices at Mint. All-in-all, an amazing Black Friday deal!
