Black Friday is looming large on the horizon, promising big discounts on TVs, laptops, headphones, speakers, and just about everything else. It's the single best time of the year to shop, with deals on offer from all the leading retailers.

We're still a couple of weeks out from Thanksgiving, but you don't have to wait for Black Friday to save big on laptops, tablets, headphones, gaming gear, and more. These are our favorite deals so far.

Hundreds of items are up to 60 percent off for Sur La Table’s Black Friday sale. The best deals are on products from the brand’s in-house line, including a handsome trivet and the plates that two Strategist staffers praised in our recent guide to dinner plates.
