I don’t know how this month has flown by so fast, but Black Friday will be here next week! (I still have no idea what we’ll be doing for Thanksgiving, since we barely just moved into our new house—but not cooking sounds pretty good right now.)
If you’re like me, you probably like to skip the frenzy of Black Friday/Cyber Monday and get all your holiday shopping done early.
Well, I’ve got good news: Amazon is already featuring tons of early Black Friday sales online so you can take your time going down your gift-giving list, or—ahem—scouring all the good deals so you can outfit your new home without breaking the bank.
Disclosure: If you shop from my article or make a purchase through one of my links, I may receive commissions on some of the products I recommend.
Deals start Friday, November 17 (with many deals that are live now, including some of the ones I’ve linked below) and run through Monday, November 27.
But that’s not the only good news. As a longtime Amazon partner, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m giving away TWO $500 Amazon.com gift cards to two lucky winners so you can shop all things Amazon!
Consider this a huge thank you for reading Garden Betty, coming back here over and over, sharing my site with your friends, and making it possible for me to bring helpful, original content to you without a paywall or membership.

Best early Black Friday garden deals
EGO Power+ Cordless Leaf Blower – We own several EGO Power+ tools, including this leaf blower, and love that we can use the same high-capacity batteries for all of them.
EGO Power+ Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower – We don’t have this yet, but we need one.
Rachio 8-Zone Smart Sprinkler Controller – If you’re trying to keep your garden alive while still conserving water, a weather-based irrigation controller is a must. This one automatically adjusts your watering schedule based on rain, wind, or freeze.
Solo Stove Smokeless Fire Pits – My favorite fire pit brand has a few deals going on for their Ranger model and their Mesa tabletop fire pit.
Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 with Stand – I already own the original Bonfire, but now I’m lusting after the green version! I find this size to be perfect for up to eight adults to sit around.
VivoHome Heavy-Duty Mesh Steel Garden Cart – Every garden needs at least one of these folding utility wagons. We use ours for hauling plants, tools, and fire wood around the yard.
Archin LED Outdoor String Lights – Want to turn your backyard into a glowing oasis? These string lights are waterproof, shatterproof, dimmable, and connectable.
SuperHandy Wood Chipper – Turn all your downed tree branches (up to 3 inches in diameter) into valuable mulch with this wood chipper.
SuperHandy 6-Ton Electric Log Splitter – If you’re still splitting logs by hand, you might want to keep an eye on this deal. The 6-ton version can handle logs up to 10 inches in diameter. (They also have a 10-ton version that splits logs up to 16 inches in diameter.)
Stanley Quencher Vacuum Insulated Tumbler – I love these tumblers for keeping my drinks ice cold when I’m working in the garden.
JobSite Boot Dryer – I’ve used a similar boot dryer for years to dry all of our winter boots. It’s a necessity if you’re often outside in snow and rain!
Best early Black Friday home deals
Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner – This portable carpet cleaner is what allows me to have nice things with kids in the house! If you have carpet or upholstered furniture in your home, it’s a must. Read the reviews; they’re impressive!
Eufy Super Slim RoboVac – This is the same exact robot vacuum I have and love. It’s outlasted our previous Roomba vacs by years!
Flexispot Adjustable Standing Desk – In my quest to get up from my computer more often, I discovered Flexispot a couple weeks ago. I decided to go with their L-shaped standing desk (which I LOVE—it’s similar to this one, but with a bamboo top), but this model is a good choice for a simple home office setup.
Sony Bluetooth Speaker – My go-to portable speaker for road trips or just working in the yard. The waterproofness and dustproofness is essential.
EcoFlow Portable Power Station – Be prepared for power outages. This 3600Wh portable generator has 15 output methods (including multiple outlets and a USB fast charger) to keep your devices running. Best of all, there’s currently a coupon for $1,000 off this unit!
Ring Video Doorbell – The entire line of Ring video doorbells, indoor cams, floodlight cams, and spotlight cams are on sale this weekend.
Phillips Sonicare Toothbrush Heads – Do you own a Sonicare? I’m definitely stocking up on brush heads with these deals!
Rumpl Puffy Blankets (National Parks Collection) – These packable blankets keep you so toasty for backyard bonfires, picnicking, or camping, and I especially love the beautiful prints of our national parks. Hint: Bundle one of these with my newest book, The National Parks Cookbook, as a gift for an outdoor lover!
Best early Black Friday kitchen deals
Fellow Stagg Electric Gooseneck Kettle – My husband just bought this kettle for his pourover coffee-making, and he says it’s the best one he’s had so far.
Rabbit Automatic Electric Corkscrew Wine Opener – We have both manual and electric Rabbit wine openers in our home and like them so much, we bought one for our RV.
Godinger Wine Decanter Carafe – The Rabbit opener, this carafe, and a nice bottle of wine would make a great host or hostess gift for any wine lover!
All-Clad Gourmet Waffle Maker – We’ve had one of these for a few years now, and make perfect waffles every time.
Ball Jar Wooden Storage Lids – I prefer one-piece lids when using my mason jars for storage, and these acacia wood lids (complete with airtight seals) make my whole pantry look good.
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing Machine – Do you do a lot of freezing? A vacuum sealer like this can help your food stay fresh and last five times longer in the freezer!
Etekcity Waterproof Rechargeable Kitchen Scale – If you bake, make pizza, or often need to weigh ingredients, a food scale is one of the most useful kitchen gadgets you’ll own. This one goes to 22 pounds, so I even use it for quick package weighing too.
Ninja Mega Kitchen System with Blender Pitcher and Processor Bowl – I’m a longtime fan of Ninja products (having also owned a Foodi, Air Fryer, and their original blender), and this set combines multiple functions in one blender. You can make smoothies or chop food just by switching out the vessel.
Vitamix Immersion Blender – This time of year, my immersion blender gets a lot of use to make creamy soups and silky sauces. (It’s much more efficient than using a regular blender.)
ThermoPro TempSpike Wireless Meat Thermometer – This Bluetooth thermometer lets you monitor your cooking from up to 500 feet away. A great gift for a BBQ enthusiast!
Anova Sous Vide – We were gifted this sous vide a few years ago and love it for cooking fish, steak, pork, and other meats to just the right doneness with zero risk of overcooking.

Thank you for your recommendations! An immersion hand blender, Bluetooth speaker, and some handmade rosemary soap is on my gift list!
I would love a walking pad ! Thank you
Tineco!
I would say the Bissell carpet cleaner because I need an upgrade!
Happy almost Black Friday everyone! On my list this year is the log splitter, new ring camera (my old one broke) and the robovac. Just moved into a new house so this would mean the world to me.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway! I have shared on instagram but not sure if you can see it. Number one on my Christmas list is the foodsaver vacuum sealer! I also would love home decor and a new mixer 🙂
Would love to gift my son a robot vacuum for his apartment, and gift my daughter some new boots and fashion accessories. Some skin care for my mom and whatever else I find that is fun!
I would love to get my parents a power station so I don’t have to worry about them when the power goes off in their house!
I’ve been eyeing the:
1. Ninja Creami
2. Frame TV
3. Tineco vacuum
This giveaway is so generous 🙂 shared on instagram
Love your recs! I would love to gift a frame tv to my sister because hers just broke!
I would love the Rumpl blankets, the Ball jar lids, and the cookbook!!! Thank you for the awesome ideas! <3
I’d love to get the Sony Bluetooth speaker and the Foodsaver Vacuum Sealer! Thank you
Obsessed with your blog! Love all the garden and every day inspo I would actually like to gift my senior dog a new pet ramp so he can go up and down the bed currently he has stairs but struggles to go up them. Also would LOVE to gift my sister a casual reception wedding dress she’s been eyeing for her wedding (she eloped )
Can I just pick for myself??? I just got back from my first trip to Joshua Tree and absolutely fell in love with the place, so the Rumpl Puffy Blanket featuring Joshua Tree National Park is a perfect souvenir! Also, it gets cold in the desert at night!
I just bought the ninja foodi for my son. Sorry, couldn’t wait, but there are so many great gift ideas and I have quite the list of people to give to so a gift card would come in handy! LOL!
Bissell Carpet Cleaner for sure. We have one and love it!
Was gifted a knock off food saver last Christmas. Definitely not the quality of the original. Gonna get one for myself and son-in-law for his hunting bounty!!
I’d love to give my daughter the Ninja system. She has 3 boys ages 3, 8 and 15. She has 3 dogs and 1 rabbit in the house so I’m sure she love it and put it to good use. She’s a paramedic and her husband is a firefighter so they always busy. This may give them more family time together.
Thank you Diana Carrillo
I would dearly love that EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station for us. We’ve had the power going down a lot where we live, and we are elderly and so far less resilient when the air or heat is not working. I’m trying to learn all I can about off-grid and grid-tie-in strategies and how I can start small and build on a backup system. For Christmas gifts, I will give items that will help my friends and family be more resilient: canning books and accessories, killawatt-type meters and smart power monitoring plugs, seeds for spring planting, and such.
We’d love a Vitamix Immersion Blender to make our own soups, sauces, and smoothies. This would be a wonderful addition to our kitchen for my diabetic husband!
I would give a few of those Solo fire pits!
I would give the EGO Power+ Cordless Leaf Blower – such a great tool.
I would love the carpet and upholstery cleaner. Want to add that to my Christmas list.
Thank you for your gift ideas!
I would love to gift my adult kids & their families a travel gift card for camping or a cabin stay.
I would get solo fire pit.
The Ball Jar lids are definitely in my cart!
I would like, and will probably purchase the Wooden Ball Jar lids to give a friend who dries her garden herbs. I think she’ll love being able to keep them on the counter top with these great lids! Never knew they made these. Thank you!
Love the Solo stove! Great gift for my hubby!
I’m planning to buy my husband a new work bag. I bought him the one he carries now over a decade ago. I had it engraved & he loves it but it’s falling apart. He really wanted to make it last until he retires (4 more years!) but I think a new one from me will make him happy.
My IG is @jennylovescharlie
I shared through IG…I wasn’t sure how to show that here?
Wow, that gooseneck kettle looks sweet!
I would love to gift the wooden Ball jar storage lids to a friend who uses the jars for dehydrated food!
I’d love to gift my husband a metal conduit bender for future poultry tractors and garden season extension hoops!
Great ideas on this list, thank you! I would like to gift some much needed supplies to our school garden program. Supplies include tub trugs, garden fork and a compost bay system.
love your site! Appreciate the gift suggestions – including the RING video doorbell
An All-Clad waffle-maker?!? Are you kidding me?!? I’ll take two please!!
I am building sn home office for my daughter, so she spends more time here :), and the stand-up desk would be perfect. Happy Holiday’s!
Crocheting lap blankets for the baskets I give my older kids’ families for Christmas. I fill it with homemade goodies and a storybook for family time.
Oh Linda, thanks for coming up with this list!! I might add the Bissell carpet cleaner or the stand up desk to my list and I’m waiting for my college age kids Amaxon wish lists, so I can get started!! Merry Christmas!!
A Ninja Foodi, definitely!
I love your recommendations! I recently got a solo stove and think it would make a great gift!
