20 Black Friday Deals That'll Help You Crush Your Holiday Shopping List
When is Black Friday again? Considering all the leaks, drops, and noise this month, you'd be forgiven for asking that question. Though it doesn't technically start until November 29th, tons of retailers have already announced their planned deals (or just outright made them live). This means that you, dear reader, have a big opportunity to take advantage of sales that a bunch of people—the kind that just expect to camp out in front of Best Buy—might not know are happening.
There are a lot of things you can do with this opportunity, for example, buy a ton of stuff for yourself. Some of these sales are actually very good. You probably need (and deserve) new clothes and new tech as much as anyone. But these early deals are also an excellent chance do something for all the other people in your life. Your parents, your partners, your friends, your very-hard-working-editors deserve thoughtful gifts as much as you do. We've spent a bunch of time here at GQ compiling some of our favorite luxury, design, and fashion gift ideas, but we've also seen a bunch of things we love pop up on the virtual Black Friday sales racks. Everything from enormous TVs, to super soft sheets, to minimalist furniture is available at a big discount right now. So, when is Black Friday? Might as well be right now.
Black Friday Tech Gift Ideas

Black Friday Bedding and Textile Gift Ideas
Everyone likes high-quality sheets and towels, but they can also be a hard thing to buy for yourself.
