This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2021, our list of ideas, by topic, by recipient and by price, to help you discover the perfect gift.

Welcome to that weird time before Black Friday where you know what deals are coming, but you can’t buy them. Yet.

Most big retailers have detailed their best sales — often through newspaper ad scans — but most of those sales don’t start for a few more days: Sunday, Nov. 21 for Target and Staples; Monday, Nov. 22 for Walmart; Tuesday, Nov. 23 for Macy’s; and Thursday, Nov. 25 — Thanksgiving Day — for Amazon.

Since we’ve already rounded up the best Black Friday deals available now, we decided to also pull together the best upcoming deals in one handy sheet. Again, the majority of these deals aren’t available for several more days, but by seeing some of the best options that are coming soon, you can plan your shopping and gift-buying accordingly. So start making that list and checking it twice.

Best Black Friday deals at Walmart

Walmart’s Black Friday sales are scheduled to start Monday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. Early access to some deals will start 4 hours earlier for Walmart Plus members.

Best Black Friday deals at Amazon

Like most of its competitors, Amazon is gearing up for a bigger sale for Black Friday next week, but is keeping its cards close to the vest. In a press release yesterday, the online retailer announced it will be running a 48-hour sale from Nov. 25 to 26, but the details about what will be included are pretty vague. Some of the highlights include up to 40% off Instant brand kitchen appliances, up to up to 50% on select Fire HD tablets, and up to 30% on select TVs from Samsung, Sony, and LG. (Also, a spoiler alert on Amazon devices: If you see other retailers like Target advertising sales on them, it’s a safe bet Amazon will be selling them for the same price.) If you don’t feel like gambling on what deals could be coming up, however, Amazon still has plenty of early Black Friday deals available now.

• Amazon Fire TV stick 4K: $25 (save $25)
• Philips 2.1-channel performance soundbar with wireless subwoofer: $125 (save $125)
