Thanks to the best early Amazon Black Friday deals, everything is about to go on sale. What do we mean by everything? All the gadgets, apparel, fitness tech, furniture, sex toys, grooming gear, and gifts you could possibly want are about to get a discount. When Black Friday officially starts, millions of products will go on sale, and Amazon is the hub for the shopping extravaganza.
Black Friday is no longer a day or a weekend so much as a whole shopping season. The season starts in mid-October, and many discounts will stay live until the New Year. Having covered so many Prime Days and Black Fridays gone by, the GQ Recommends team has more than a hunch of what’s going to be on sale this year, and we’ve already started gathering the top early deals for you. For early shoppers, there are plenty of deals to shop already. So, fellow Prime members, get a jump on your holiday shopping with the top early Amazon Black Friday deals so far.

Amazon Devices
Amazon
Fire TV Soundbar
If the new $1,000 Sonos soundbar with motion sound is out of your price range (and you’re definitely not alone), then snag this smart soundbar on sale instead. Bonus points if you already have Amazon smart home devices to connect it to.
Amazon
Echo Spot Alarm Clock
We expect this new smart alarm clock to go on sale intermittently ahead of Cyber Monday, so keep an eye on this listing for price drops. This multipurposes smart speaker will be a better alarm clock than your iPhone.
Amazon
Echo Dot
Like to ask Alexa about the weather before you start your day? Then invest in the most compact Echo speaker to date, the adorable Echo Pop. When it goes on sale, you can snag this speaker for just $18.
Amazon
Fire HD 10 Tablet
The new generation of iPads are more powerful than most laptops. That’s actually way more power than most people need in a tablet, so for more casual everyday use, try the newest Fire HD 10 tablet. It’s got a large HD screen that’s made for gaming and streaming, not to mention a ridiculous sale price of just $75.
Fashion
Levi’s
Sherpa Lined Trucker Jacket
When it’s too cold to wear a standard denim jacket, break out the sherpa lined one instead.
Levi’s
501 Original Fit Jeans
An all-American classic right up there with Elvis Presley and Coca-Cola.
Calvin Klein
Cotton Classics 5-Pack Boxer Brief
These boxer-briefs are back in style and as great as ever, especially when you don’t have to pay full price.
Dr. Martens
Embury Leather Chelsea Boot
These aren’t your standard-issue Doc Martens combat boots, but they’ve still got the signature details you love about these shoes. Plus, you can look for more discounts as Black Friday draws near.
Gildan
Men’s Crew T-Shirts
Pro Tip: Snipping the bottom two inches off these suckers turns them into elite cropped workout tees.
Le Specs
Don’t Cha Sunglasses
A throwback to the ’90s is always a good idea. Le Spec’s rectangular acetate joints seem perfect with a ratty graphic tee, big baggy jeans and perhaps … some flip flops.
Gadgets
Garmin
Vivoactive 5
If you didn’t track your workout, does it even really count?
Hisense
43-Inch Class A4 Series FHD 1080p Smart Fire TV
This budget smart TV from Hisense is a great option for casual viewing. It has Alexa built in, has all the apps you need, and is an absolute steal.
Microsoft
Surface
There are more tablets than just iPads, y’know.
Anker
633 Magnetic Battery Pack for iPhones
Get this stocking stuffer while it’s 50% off. The only downside? You’ll have to find something else for your Android friends and family.
Grooming
Calvin Klein
CK One Unisex Cologne
CK One is a lot of people’s first-ever fragrance, which is why it’s a smart gift idea for any younger folks fighting that puberty funk.
Panasonic
MultiShape Clean Cut Shaver Kit
The MultiShape is Panasonic’s god-tier multigroomer. At least, that’s what GQ’s grooming guys say. The combo pictured here does triple duty as a precision trimmer, electric toothbrush, and electric shaver, but bearded guys may prefer the Trim and Shave version, which is also on sale.
Crest
3D WhiteStrips
Amazon usually waits for big sales to start to discount these best-selling whitening strips, but not this year. Catch them on sale weeks ahead of Black Friday and show up to Thanksgiving with a brighter smile.
Tushy
Fresh Bidet
Some brands always go on sale at Amazon for Black Friday, and Tushy is one of our faves. If you haven’t already been converted to the world of bidets, you’ve got absolutely no excuse.
Oral-B
iO Series 3 Limited electric toothbrush
Tired of getting lectured by your dentist? Or maybe you just hate the feeling of that hook they use to scrape away plague—shudder. Fight plaque yourself with this long-lasting electric toothbrush, now on sale at Amazon.
Even if you don’t need a red light therapy device for yourself, Solawaves make excellent gifts. During October Prime Day, the brand offered some rare discounts, and we expect more of the same on Black Friday. For now, this beauty wand bundle comes with the brand’s activating serum at a cool 40% discount.
Headphones & Earbuds
Beats
Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian
Love her or love her, Kim Kardashian is a massively successful entrepreneur, and her skin-tone Beats headphones regularly sell out. Take advantage of this uber-rare discount on the newest model while you can.
Apple
AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds
Fresh off the assembly line, the newest AirPods come with and without noise-cancellation. If you want to grab them on sale, you’ll have to live without ANC. Still, they’re sweat and water-resistant, have a new Apple H2 chip, and run for 30 hours before zonking out.
Beats
Studio Buds +
We can’t resist adding these transparent earbuds when we spot them on sale. Pro tip: We expect the price on these noise cancellers to drop even further in the weeks ahead.
Sony
WH-1000XM5 Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Unless you’re spending $1,000 on studio headphones, you won’t find anything that sounds better than Sony’s flagship wireless headphones. We do wish they were made of something other than plastic, though. But, hey, if that’s a concern, you can opt for AirPods Max headphones instead.
Home & Kitchen
Dyson
V15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum
The best thing Dyson might have ever done was to put a laser in its vacuum’s cleaning head so you can see naked-to-the-eye dust particles on the floor and eliminate them like you’re in an IRL video game.
Vitamix
5200 Professional-Grade Blender
A professional-grade blender for creating professional-grade smoothies.
Ninja
Foodi 6-in-1 DualZone Air Fryer
Make dinnertime prep a little easier by air frying two dishes at once.
Fellow
Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle
A quicker, more efficient way to boil water.
Luggage
Travel Pro
Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Carry-on
When this bag comes up against other carry-ons in the overhead, it puts its elbows out. Go ahead and scroll past the budget spinners on the ‘Zon and invest in a bag that will actually last.
Herschel
Novel Duffle
Look for Black Friday deals on popular Herschel products. Or, if you can’t wait, score this handsome duffel while it’s still available on sale.
Delsey Paris
Cruise 3.0 Hardside Expandable Luggage
This sophisticated spinner has a built-in indicator that warns you when your bag is overweight, sparing you from extra charges. How does it work? You’ll have to check the patent.
Samsonite
Freeform Hardside Expandable Spinners, 2-Piece Set
The #1 best-selling suitcase on Amazon gets a Prime Day discount that makes it even more attractive. This deal is all about the power of two: You’ll get two durable spinners with your purchase, with smooth-gliding double spinner wheels on each, priced at $220.
