I shop for living, so I know a thing or two about sourcing the best Black Friday deals. My biggest secret? Start early. Believe it or not, Amazon quietly dropped thousands of early sales spanning practically every department. To make your shopping spree a breeze and ensure you score the best picks before anyone else, I sifted through the full selection to handpick the top eight markdowns from just $8.
Below, browse through the eight early markdowns I’m snagging for up to 58 percent off. You’ll find gems from highly coveted brands, including Coach, Gap, Ugg, and Dyson. And if you act quickly, you can even score celebrity-loved picks like Oprah’s favorite coat and a Meghan Markle-used cream. Just be sure to score the early Black Friday deals that catch your eye ASAP—they won’t last much longer.
Coach Luxe Refined Calf Leather Bandit Crossbody
Amazon
My jaw dropped when I spotted the Coach Bandit Crossbody Bag on sale for a fraction of its usual cost. On sale for a whopping 58 percent off, the elevated pick is the perfect everyday carryall. It boasts a luxe leather material and chic silver hardware, plus the perfect amount of space to tote the essentials.
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream
Amazon
Meghan Markle and I are both fans of the viral Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream. If that’s not reason enough to snag the skin care pick, it’s also on sale for just $20. The K-beauty find is my best-kept secret for glass-like skin—even amid harsh winter weather (trust me on this one).
Gap Boatneck Sweater
Amazon
Gap is my favorite brand for wardrobe classics, and this boatneck sweater is coming home with me this season. I’m a fan of the knit’s timeless striped pattern and lightweight-yet-cozy material that’s ideal for layering through spring. Snag it in a range of colors including a holiday-ready red while it’s still on sale.
Koolaburra by Ugg Koola Mini II
Amazon
No winter haul is complete without snuggly Ugg boots—and the Koolaburra by Ugg Koola Mini II is my pick ahead of Black Friday. The shoes have a low-profile silhouette that’ll look cozy-chic with everything from jeans to leggings. The best part: They’re lined with a fuzzy shearling fabric that’ll keep my toes toasty all season.
RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream
Amazon
The second I heard that Sarah Jessica Parker uses the RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream, I knew I had to snag it for myself. Lucky for me, the wrinkle-smoothing formula is on sale for $22—but only for a limited time.
Orolay Puff-O Cropped Puffer Jacket
Amazon
Another celebrity-loved pick, the Orolay Puff-O Cropped Puffer Jacket is among Oprah’s Favorite Things of 2025. The wardrobe workhorse is the perfect blend of fashion and function thanks to its windproof shell, fluffy down interior, and flattering cropped silhouette.
Kate Blanc Cosmetics Castor Oil
Amazon
If hair growth is your goal, the Kate Blanc Cosmetics Castor Oil is about to become your new best friend. The kicker? It’s on sale for less than $8. FWIW: More than 20,000 people purchased the oil in the past month alone and over 9,000 shoppers have given it a perfect rating.
Dyson V9 Motorbar Cordless Vacuum
Amazon
I’m taking this jaw-dropping Dyson deal as my sign to treat myself. The Dyson V9 Motorbar Cordless Vacuum is on sale for $270—a.k.a. a whopping 55 percent off its usual cost. Its wireless design and slim shape make it easy to clean even the toughest spots. (I’m running to checkout!)
Head to Amazon to score these early Black Friday deals from just $8.
