This story is part of 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, our list of ideas, by theme, by recipient and by price, to help you discover the ideal gift.

Welcome to this strange time before Black friday where you know what deals are coming in, but you can’t buy them. Still.

Most major retailers have itemized their bestsellers – often through newspaper ad scans – but most of these sales only start a few more days: Sunday, November 21 for Target and Staples; Monday, November 22 for Walmart; Tuesday, November 23 for Macy’s; and Thursday, November 25 – Thanksgiving Day – for Amazon.

Since we’ve already rounded up the best Black Friday deals available now, we’ve decided to put together the best upcoming deals in one handy sheet as well. Again, the majority of these offers are not available for several days, but seeing some of the best options to come, you can plan your shopping and gift shopping accordingly. So start making this list and double checking it.

The best Black Friday deals at Walmart

Walmart’s Black Friday sales set to begin Monday, November 22 at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. Early access to select offers will begin 4 hours earlier for Walmart Plus members. Walmart notes that it will make the PS5 and Xbox Series X available online during Black Friday week, but details on the times are not yet available.

The best Black Friday deals at Target

Some of these items are already on sale, but even bigger discounts will be included with the new wave of offers.

The best Black Friday deals on Amazon

Like most of its competition, Amazon is gearing up for a bigger sale for Black Friday next week, but keeping its cards close to the waistcoat. In a Press release yesterday, the online retailer announced that it will be holding a 48h sale from 25 to 26 nov., but the details of what will be included are quite vague. Some of the highlights include up to 40% off Instant brand kitchen appliances, up to 50% off select Fire HD tablets, and up to 30% off select TVs from Samsung, Sony and LG. (Plus, a spoiler alert on Amazon devices: if you see other retailers like Target selling advertising on them, odds are Amazon will sell them for the same price.) If you don’t. Want to bet on any deals that might be coming up, however, Amazon still has plenty of Black Friday deals available right now.
