The Verge’s guide to Black Friday 2025

The Verge's guide to Black Friday 2025

Now that we’ve already gathered with friends and family to dine on our favorite foods, the real feast has begun. I’m talking, of course, about Black Friday and the full weekend of shopping that leads into Cyber Monday on December 1st.
Many of the gadgets we recommend to readers have received steep discounts that’ll likely last throughout both events, allowing you to save on laptops, OLED TVs, noise-crushing headphones, and everything in between. If you didn’t get what you wanted during Amazon Prime Day or the retailer’s most recent sales event, now’s your chance.
However, this holiday season could be a more costly affair than you may expect due to the ongoing tariff situation in the US; The price of Sonos speakers, video game consoles, cameras, and other goods continues to climb. The good news is that our deep, well-vetted deals coverage can help you avoid the higher price tags. We also have tips on how to find the best deals and when to shop, and we’ll continue to highlight notable discounts throughout the busy shopping weekend — regardless of which retailer you prefer.
