Most of the early Black Friday deals I’ve found are available on Amazon, but highlights include the newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite e-reader, the Ember Mug 2 (which keeps your coffee hot without having to constantly reheat it), and the Strategist-favorite Loftie alarm clock.

Amazon has the 13-inch model on sale for just $844 during its Black Friday Week sale, or $255 off its $1,099 MSRP — a 23% savings and a new record-low. It's now less than $100 more than the M2 version, so it's easy to recommend over its predecessor for future-proofing's sake.

Walmart still has the best Black Friday gaming monitor deal. This is an outstanding price for a very capable 34" ultra-widescreen gaming monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution (110 ppi pixel density), an immersive 1000R curved panel design, fast 1ms MPRT response time, and up to 160Hz refresh rate.
