After six years of covering Black Friday sales, I've learned one thing: The early deals are sometimes the best ones. This season's markdowns are no exception - the discounts are already impressive, and you don't have to wait for the big day frenzy to shop smart. It's the perfect time to grab a cozy coffee, settle in and start ticking off your shopping list before the crowds catch on. Whether you're shopping for your inner circle or tackling your holiday list early, these are the 15 best under-$50 deals I found that are available now.
