It's not often walk to the mailbox and find something inside we're excited about. Amidst the bills and junk mail, top brands launch their Black Friday gift guides, and some might be landing in your mailbox.

The official Black Friday date is Nov. 27 this year, the day after Thanksgiving. But you don't need to wait for deals to drop then. Amazon, The Home Depot, and Target all have Black Friday sales underway right now.

Browsing the deals is half the fun of shopping during Black Friday. And if you're trending toward Analog life, you can request a free physical copy of some gift guides including Amazon's Holiday Kids Gift Book 2026. But you have plenty of other browsing to do, too.

The Home Depot Black Friday Gift Guide is packed with cordless power tools, holiday decor, and gifts for the gardener in your life. Walmart has conveniently broken down the top 100 gifts including Apple Airpods Pro 3 and the Nintendo Switch 2.

Ulta's Black Friday Gift Guide is the perfect cheat-sheet for buying beauty gifts for your friends, and Costco has excellent deals on artificial Christmas trees and laptops if you're a member. Nordstrom is a great place to grab stocking stuffers and gifts are already up to 40% off.

If toys are on your shopping list, be sure to peek the Target Black Friday Gift Guide, as well as the Meijer Toy Book and the Fleet Farm's Toyland which opened earlier in October. Remember if you're shopping for tech deals, sometimes Target offers better discounts than Amazon's Black Friday offerings.

Below, we've rounded up some of our favorite early Black Friday deals from the top gift guides.

Best Walmart deal

Why we like it

A classic sale on some of the best Airpods, you can already snag them for $199 at Walmart. The Airpods Pro 3 come with great sound, exceptional noise cancellation, good battery life, and even a heart-rate monitor. On Mashable's list of the best earbuds, the Airpods Pro 3 earn the top spot as the best option for Apple users. While the $199 sale price isn't unheard of, they do tend to sell out during busy sale seasons, so shop early to avoid the stress.
