I'm a Black Friday expert – here are 13 early deals worth adding to your cart right now

The Echo Spot is on my personal Christmas wish list, and it would make an excellent gift for family and friends. The smart alarm clock and speaker pairs a 2.83-inch touchscreen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, making it an ideal smart alarm clock. With Alexa onboard, you can ask the assistant for the weather, play music, or even schedule alarms. Today's pre-Black Friday deal brings the price down to just $54.99.

A Keurig coffee maker for under $50? Who wouldn't love this little machine? It can brew a cup in just minutes and is just four inches wide. Today's pre-Black Friday deal from Amazon brings the price down to just $47.99, a new record-low price.

This might be my favorite early Black Friday deal _ Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet for $54.99, thanks to an impressive 45% discount. While not the most powerful tablet available, the Fire HD 8 has what you need to cover the essentials, including web browsing, sending emails, watching videos, and some light gaming. Battery life is impressive, lasting up to 13 hours, making it ideal for on-the-go use or when you're just relaxing on the couch.

Target's Black Friday sale: up to 40% off holiday lights, trees, and decor
While this isn't technically a deal, today's Target Black Friday sale is too good not to list. Today only, the retailer is offering up to 40% off holiday lights, trees, and select decor. Target is one of the best destinations for Christmas decor, so I'll definitely be taking advantage of today's sale.

My go-to Christmas gift, which I know people will actually enjoy and use, is the best-selling Apple AirTag 4-pack for $64.99. Great for anyone who misplaces things, simply attach the AirTag to anything you don't want to lose or keep track of, such as a backpack, and your iPhone will locate the item.

This is an appliance I already own and love, having actually received it as a Christmas gift a few years ago – the Ninja top-rated 8-quart Foodi air fryer. Now on sale at its lowest price, the Ninja Foodi features a large dual-basket design that allows you to prepare multiple foods simultaneously and offers six preset cooking programs for fast and easy meals.

This is a great gift idea for just $10 - winter gloves that also allow you to use your phone while wearing them. The FanVince gloves are available in multiple sizes and are lined with soft, thermal TR insulation, making them water-resistant.

The JBL Tune 510BT are Amazon's best-selling headphones and would make a great stocking stuffer at just $24.95. The headphones feature Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Streaming, so you can stream music and podcasts and take calls from your device, and you'll enjoy an impressive 40 hours of battery life. They also come with JBL's renowned Pure Bass sound. If you need something inexpensive and you need it now, it's hard to argue with this price tag… 

If you're like me and looking for a cheaper version of Samsung's The Frame TV, TCL's Nxtframe TV is a great option, and the 65-inch model is on sale for $999.99. The QLED TV features an ultra-slim design and an off-white bezel that seamlessly blends into your decor, accompanied by a light wood-colored magnetic frame. You can also choose to display content from a curated Art Library or a personal photo gallery mode.

This portable blender packs an impressive punch for something so small; while its capacity is a single-serve 16-oz, it can crush ice and frozen fruit without breaking a sweat with its stainless steel BlastBlade. Plus, it even has a sippy-cup lid that pops open to keep your beverages fresh.

While we typically don't see good Black Friday Apple deals until the actual date, this $50 discount on the new Apple Watch SE 3 is an excellent bargain. The Apple Watch SE 2 currently holds the position as the best budget smartwatch, but the SE 3 more than matches it – and it's a smarter buy while it's on sale ahead of Black Friday.

Here's another appliance that I own and can't imagine living without. The Dyson V9 has the same maximum runtime as the V8, but features a faster-charging battery and a useful LCD screen for displaying information. It's also more lightweight and features a smaller dust cup, making it a worthwhile consideration for those with a small home. Today's early Black Friday deal brings the price down to a record low.
