We’re only days into October, but Amazon just launched Black Friday deals “earlier than ever.”

The online retail giant has “epic deals” on big-ticket items in all categories, including electronics, toys, home goods, beauty and clothing.

Although Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving, retailers have long used the weeks leading up to it to introduce early offers. It’s the biggest shopping party of the year.

Others, including Target, are also gearing up for early vacation deals.

Major toy companies including Hasbro, Mattel and MGA Entertainment last month said a global shipping crisis and labor shortages in the toy market could affect the holiday shopping season. , which could explain Amazon’s extremely early launch.

For inspiration, Amazon has also curated holiday gift guides, including the popular “Holiday Toy List” and “Customer’s Most Loved Items”.

Here’s a look at the best Black Friday deals now available on Amazon:
