Black Friday is right around the corner and many retailers have already begun to roll out the type of great deals you’d expect. If you’re looking to get your holiday shopping off to a good start, it’s a day you’ll already have circled on the calendar. While Black Friday originated as an in-store retail experience, online retailers have also joined in on the fun, giving deep discounts on some of their best items.
This year, online shopping is more important than ever to avoid crowds and maintain distance. By shopping online, you avoid the long lines and chaos of Black Friday while still taking advantage of sales. Of course, we all know about the discounts available on huge online retailers like Amazon, but there are a lot of great deals to be had on creative niche items as well.
Check out our list of retailers who are offering incredible Black Friday sales and, remember, many of these start the day before Thanksgiving and often run well beyond Black Friday. Keep an eye out for what catches your fancy and act fast before the item you have your heart set on sells out.
