Best Early Black Friday Tech Deals: Smart Home Devices, TVs and Headphones

Black Friday discounts are arriving early

Amazon’s Black Friday event starts November 19 and runs through Cyber Monday, while Walmart’s official sale begins November 23, with deals dropping beforehand. But the calendar is already losing its grip: discounts of 50% or more have appeared on products from Asics, Patagonia, Sony and Blink, across categories from home tech to clothing. That’s the part to watch. A big percentage off doesn’t automatically make a deal worthwhile, so I’ve focused on offers that clear the halfway mark and have a clear use case or appealing price. The early selection includes several smart home devices, along with TVs, apparel and household gear. You can browse the retailers’ early offers at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/deals) and [Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/shop/savings?). Here are some of the featured prices: - [Blink Mini 2K+](https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Mini-2KPlus-2cam-White/dp/B0F3BC8661?): $15, down from $39 - [Brightech Outdoor String Lights](https://www.amazon.com/Brightech-Ambience-Pro-Waterproof-Outdoor/dp/B075NS8YXG/): $21, down from $47 - [Skechers Flex Adapt Juliette (women’s)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG9ZWCZY?): $24, down from $79 - [Ring Battery Doorbell 2K](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJ7TKZM?): $39, down from $99 - [Patagonia Houdini Half-Zip (women’s)](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-houdini-stash-half-zip-windbreaker-pullover/23435.html?dwvar_23435_color=RWSA): $68, down from $139 - [Fire HD 10, 4GB version](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GVTPKJVT): $72, down from $154 - [Sony WH-CH720N headphones](https://www.amazon.com/Sony-WH-CH720N-Canceling-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B0DY8TS92J/): $88, down from $179 - [TCL 40-inch Q3CR Series 1080p Roku TV](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tcl-40-q3cr-series-1080p-fhd-qled-smart-tv-with-roku-2026/J36QYTQWPL): $149, down from $299

Deals that stand out

At $15, the [Blink Mini 2K+](https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Mini-2KPlus-2cam-White/dp/B0F3BC8661?) packs in color night vision and person detection. It’s rated for indoor and outdoor use and can withstand different weather conditions, an unusually broad feature set at this price. For a bigger household, Walmart’s [7-quart manual slow cooker](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Crock-Pot-Manual-7-Quart-Slow-Cooker-Mussel-Grey/15289615155) is $34, down from $79. It’s sized for meals serving up to nine people and can fit a 7-pound roast. The removable stoneware and lid are dishwasher safe, which makes the one-pot format more useful after dinner, too. Runners can get the men’s [Asics Sonicblast](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPLRJSHN) for $89, compared with $180. Asics describes a lightweight, propulsive shoe built for speed work and daily training, with an Astroplate mechanism and FF Blast Max and FF Turbo cushioning. The women’s [Patagonia Houdini Half-Zip](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-houdini-stash-half-zip-windbreaker-pullover/23435.html?dwvar_23435_color=RWSA) is $68, down from $139. It trades a hood and full-length zipper for a lighter half-zip design; Patagonia says the packable windbreaker resists wind and rain. A pre-decorated [7.5-foot Christmas tree from National Tree Company](https://www.amazon.com/National-Tree-Function-Footswitch-DUH-330LD-75S/dp/B005CXG1X0?) is listed at $223, reduced from $679. It has 900 dual-color LED bulbs that switch between white and multicolor. The tree is designed to mimic the color and texture of a real pine. For a smaller screen, Best Buy has the 48-inch [LG B6 4K OLED TV](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-48-class-b6-series-oled-ai-4k-smart-webos-tv-2026/JJ8VPZZCTJ) for $599, half its $1,199 list price. It supports 4K gaming at up to 120Hz, or 144Hz with VRR enabled, and includes Dolby Vision. In an [LG B6 OLED review](https://www.tomsguide.com/tvs/4k-tvs/lg-b6-oled-tv-review), the TV was described as nearly as good as the more expensive C6; this 48-inch size is exclusive to Best Buy.

Smart home and streaming picks

The [Fire TV Stick HD](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Fire-TV-Stick-HD-Thin-and-Portable/dp/B0DJGDC3BD?) costs $19. It’s a sensible fit for an HD television; if you own a 4K set, a 4K streaming stick would make more sense. The 2026 HD model draws power from the TV, so setup doesn’t require finding another outlet. Blink’s [Battery Doorbell 2K+](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G62JQK57) is $35, a 55% discount. It records 2K video and is rated for up to 22 months of battery life. It has also been named a [budget video doorbell pick](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/the-blink-battery-doorbell-2k-checks-all-of-the-boxes-for-a-budget-friendly-video-doorbell) and a [best video doorbell](https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-video-doorbells,review-4468.html). There’s a separate Ring option: the [Battery Doorbell 2K](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJ7TKZM?) is $39, down from $99. The updated model has a slimmer body, a speckled gray finish, 2K video, 6x zoom and two-way talk.

Tablets and outdoor security

The steepest discounts here look more compelling on price than on new capabilities. Amazon’s Fire HD 10 with 4GB of RAM is down from $154 to $72, a half-price option for web browsing, video and casual gaming. If you mainly want a portable screen for streaming and everyday tasks, that’s a low-cost way in.

The Blink Outdoor 2K+ five-camera pack drops from $399 to $119. The upgrade over its predecessor is 2K recording, alongside local or cloud video storage, color viewing in low light, and two-way audio with noise cancellation. Person and vehicle alerts require a separately sold Blink Subscription Plan. That subscription caveat matters: the $119 gets you the cameras, while some of the smarter detection features come with an ongoing cost. See the Blink Outdoor 2K+ deal.

Apparel

Alo cuts the men’s Triumph Long Sleeve Tee from $68 to $34. It’s described as airy and soft, suited to workouts or layering under a light jacket, and comes in several colors. At half price, the appeal is straightforward: a versatile basic without a premium full-price tag. Check the Triumph Long Sleeve Tee.

The women’s Bae Hoodie is $49, down from $98. Its cropped, deliberately oversized cut leaves room for layering; the outside is smooth, with fleece inside. It’s positioned as a gym layer for cooler weather, though the styling should work beyond a workout. View the Bae Hoodie.

Columbia’s men’s Ascender Softshell Rain Jacket falls from $125 to $56. It’s made of polyester with zippered hand and chest pockets, an abrasion-resistant chin guard, and adjustable cuffs and hem. The limit is in the name: it handles drizzle and light rain, not a serious downpour. See the Ascender jacket.

Patagonia’s men’s Windsweep Jacket is reduced from $199 to $98. The lightweight, packable jacket uses 100% organic cotton ripstop treated with durable water repellent. That makes it useful for changing conditions and light exposure to the elements; the description doesn’t claim it’s built for sustained heavy rain. Check the Windsweep Jacket.

Footwear

The women’s Skechers Flex Adapt Juliette has one of the sharpest markdowns: $24, down from $79. The simple design and stretch-knit upper are meant to feel sock-like, but availability is limited by size and color, so the headline price may not be an option for everyone.

Check available sizes and colors.

New Balance’s men’s 608 V5 Cross Trainers are $32, reduced from $79. They’re the classic chunky “dad shoe,” a look that has also found an audience in streetwear. Comfort is the practical pitch; the styling is part of the joke and the appeal. View the 608 V5 deal.

Saucony’s men’s Tide 2 Trainer drops from $100 to $42. Soft, springy foam, a flexible plate and breathable mesh are the key features, making it suited to walking, errands or long stretches on your feet.

See the Tide 2 Trainer.

The women’s genuine suede leather ankle boots are listed at $47, down from $109. Their platform shape resembles Ugg Mini Platform Boots, but the listing describes these as warm, fuzzy, water- and stain-resistant boots that can be worn outdoors as well as around the house.

Check the ankle boots.

The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 is discounted by 56% in several colorways, with multiple sizes reported available at the time of writing. The listed deal is $129. Since the shoe uses unisex sizing, women are advised to go up half a size; checking each colorway is the best way to find the available price in your size. Browse Endorphin Elite 2 options.

Home and garden

Small upgrades for the home and yard

A few of these discounts are more useful than flashy: the oven mitts and adjustable rake, for instance, solve everyday chores at prices well below their listed originals. The other picks lean toward comfort and outdoor atmosphere.

Satin Pillowcase, Queen, two-pack: $7, down from $18
This satin pillowcase offers a smooth, glossy feel as a silk alternative. The listing says it’s designed to help reduce morning frizz and is OKEO-Tex certified as free of harmful substances.

Outdoor hanging bird feeder: $10, down from $26
The listing describes a feeder intended to attract hummingbirds while keeping pests such as ants away. It also highlights colored glass, a blown shape, easy repositioning and a durable build.

Ribbed soft silicone oven mitt set: $12, down from $34
These mitts are rated for heat up to 500 degrees and are described as waterproof and slip-resistant. Silicone makes cleanup simple: rinse them with water after handling hot pans and dishes.

Leaf rake: $17, down from $38
Its 18-inch-wide head is built to gather leaves, clippings and other lawn debris. The handle adjusts from 38.8 to 65 inches, which gives you room to set a working length that suits the job.

Lighting and bedding for less

Outdoor string lights are the strongest ambiance pick here, though the runtime is limited: expect up to six hours of soft white light. The 27-foot strand has shatterproof plastic bulbs, is rated for outdoor use and is listed at 54% off. If you’re comparing ways to light a yard, these solar light picks offer another option.

Outdoor string lights: $21, down from $47

King-size comforter set: $33
