Black Friday is my go-to time of the year for buying holiday presents and splurging on some big-ticket items I’ve been saving up for, and it’s now just 3 weeks away if you can believe it!

Thankfully, you don’t actually have to wait until November 27 to save — NZ retailer Mighty Ape has kicked off its own Black Friday sale early and is offering discounts of up to 50% on both in-house brands and big-name ones like HP, Lenovo, Garmin, Lego and more.

In many cases, you can also score even more savings — plus get free shipping on thousands of items — by signing up for Mighty Ape’s Primate membership program, and there’s even a free 14-day trial available for new sign-ups.

I’ve highlighted five of my favourite deals from Mighty Ape’s Black Friday sale below, alongside a wider selection of standouts across popular categories like laptops, monitors, peripherals, smartwatches, air fryers, tablets and more.

And if your budget’s tight, I’ve also included a section for deals under NZ$100 for impulse buys or gift ideas that won’t break the bank.
