When do Black Friday sales start?
Black Friday 2024 is on Friday, November 29 and we expect the early Black Friday sales to start really kicking off around early November. The holiday shopping season tends to run from early November through the very end of December for those last-minute shoppers.
Should I shop early holiday gifts?
There are plenty of reasons why you should shop for your holiday gifts early. Some things to keep in mind are:
- If you're celebrating the holidays earlier than the federal holiday itself
- If you're going to need to ship your gifts long distances
- If you just want to finish your shopping sooner so it is off your plate
You will undoubtedly find some killer deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so it can definitely be smart to wait for those sales if you can. But, there are some items like limited-edition releases of products or items that are currently already on sale that we recommend buying early. You don't want to wait too long and end up missing out on the perfect gift!
