“Black Friday deals” was searched about 5 million times in the U.S. last November. (Google search volume data for terms) Most deal lists show a big percentage and no regular price. This one is short on purpose: seven sales from stores we work with, each with the sale price, the regular price and the date we checked. Black Friday itself is Friday, Nov. 27, and we’ll check these again that day.

Click & Grow Smart Garden 9: best deal overall
The nine-pod indoor garden with its own LED light is $174.97, 30% under its $249.95 regular price, and orders over $150 ship free. It comes with basil, lettuce and mini tomato pods. The app-controlled Smart Garden 9 PRO is only $5 more at $179.97, down from $299.95. Our partner code GROWSALE is valid through Dec. 1; try it at checkout, though codes don’t always stack with sale prices. Our Click & Grow review compares every model.
Skip it if you have less than two feet of counter near an outlet; the three-pod Smart Garden 3 is $99.96.
Magic Story: best deal for kids
Two Black Friday offers, and you pick one: a six-book personalized series for $149.99 instead of $359.99, or any single book for $24.99 instead of $44.99 with Subscribe & Save. Both end Nov. 30 and can’t be combined. Every book shows your child’s face and name, and you see a free preview first. Our guide to personalized books for kids explains the series.
Skip it if you don’t want a subscription; the $24.99 price only applies with one, so cancel after the first book if you want just one.
Perfume deals at FragranceShop.com
Searches for Black Friday perfume deals average 2,900 a month in the U.S. FragranceShop.com sells many bottles well below list all year. Lattafa Khamrah, one of its best sellers, is $25.95 for 3.4 oz against a $70 list price. (Lattafa Khamrah Perfume for Unisex) For a designer gift, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is $45.95 for 3.4 oz, or $41.95 as a tester in a plain box. (Light Blue Perfume for Women) Pick the “eau de toilette spray” option: the $8.95 roll-on on the same page is a “type” oil, not the real thing. Orders over $50 ship free in the lower 48, in 5 to 10 business days. (Shipping Information)
Skip it if you need the bottle in a few days without paying for express. Is the store safe? Read is FragranceShop legit.
Tenergy charger kit: best tech deal
The TN474U kit, a four-bay USB charger with four AA and four AAA rechargeables, is $27.99. (Tenergy Combo: TN474U Charger with 4 AA and 4 AAA) Add a second pack to pass $50 and code THANKS gives free ground shipping in the contiguous U.S. (Tenergy Power store) It’s the sensible buy before a Christmas full of battery-powered toys.
Skip it if you already own a NiMH charger; buy cells only.
Royal Navy Compass 1920: best deal for history fans
A brass replica compass in a solid hardwood box, $29.95 instead of $44.95. (Royal Navy Compass 1920) It’s a desk gift that looks more expensive than it is.
Skip it if you want a working compass for the trail.
Kitty Kick Stix holiday set: best deal for pets
Two 15-inch catnip kickers in Christmas prints for $18.79, down from $21.95, with free U.S. shipping over $39. (15" Holiday Set 2 Pack) More options are in our cat toy guide.
Skip it if your cat ignores catnip.
Free-shipping lines to know
A deal can lose its shine at checkout. These are the minimums for free standard shipping at each store on this list, as posted on Nov. 15:

- FragranceShop.com: $50 in the lower 48; two bottles usually get you there.
- Tenergy: $50 with code THANKS, contiguous U.S. only.
- Kitty Kick Stix: $39 in the U.S.
Magic Story charges standard shipping from $3.99, and Atlanta Cutlery prices ground shipping by size and weight. (What are the shipping methods and costs?) (Shipping Information)
Gifts for the dates right after Black Friday
Hanukkah starts at sundown on Dec. 4 this year, only a week after Black Friday, (Chanukah 2026) so anything for the first night has to ship that weekend. Our Hanukkah gift guide lists order-by dates for each pick. For the small things, the stocking stuffers guide has seven gifts under $25, several of them already on sale.
How to tell if a Black Friday deal is real
The FTC’s advice for shopping online applies doubly on Black Friday: shop around and compare, read the delivery, return and refund policies, and pay by credit card when you can. (Online Shopping) Three habits help:
- Look for the regular price, not just the percentage. A “60% off” badge means little without the number it’s taken from.
- Add shipping before you compare. A $25 item with $8 shipping is a $33 item.
- Check the date. Prices move during the week; ours are dated.
Final verdict
If you’re buying one gift on sale this week, make it the Click & Grow Smart Garden 9 at $174.97 with free shipping. For a child, the Magic Story six-book bundle at $149.99 is the deepest discount on this list. Both prices are live now, so there’s no need to wait for Nov. 27.

FAQ
Do these Black Friday deals need a coupon code?
Most don't: the sale prices show on the product page. The exception is Tenergy, where code THANKS gives free ground shipping on orders of $50 or more in the contiguous U.S.
Are Black Friday deals really cheaper?
Not always. The FTC advises comparing prices across stores and checking return policies and shipping costs before you buy. That's why we list the regular price next to each sale price and the date we checked it.
Should I buy now or wait for Black Friday?
If the price is already discounted and the item has to ship before a holiday, buying early avoids the shipping rush. Magic Story's sale runs through Nov. 30, and Click & Grow's Smart Garden 9 was already 30% off on Nov. 15.
Questions come from real search data (ten-thanks; ftc-bf; ms-bf). We don’t invent questions.
