21 Early Black Friday Deals for Travelers: What to Buy—and Book—Now

Samsonite: Samsonite’s pre-holiday sale is here: Save up to 30 percent off through November 7. The Tru-Frame Medium Spinner—an editor-tested favorite—is currently on sale.

Samsonite Tru-Frame Medium Spinner

Spacious and fairly lightweight at just over nine pounds, this Samsonite suitcase is easy to maneuver and ideal for overpackers. Its two sides are even, so it flips open easily and without tumbling to one side; inside, it is very roomy, with mesh pockets and a clear, half-zip panel, plus a hanger and hook for formalwear. It gets points for a clasp closure, rather than a zipper, making it easier to open and shut.

Travelpro: Travelpro designs some of our editors’ favorite budget-friendly luggage. Select carry-ons, backpacks, and briefcases are currently 50 percent off.

Tech deals

Amazon: Amazon’s holiday deals include up to 43 percent off Beats headphones and earbuds, up to 50 percent off Fire TV streaming devices, and up to 38 percent off Fitbits and wellness trackers.

Target: Early Black Friday deals at Target are in full swing. We’re eyeing headphones and speakers from Beats, JBL, and Sony that are up to 50 percent off. More top deals we’re loving: up to 40 percent off kitchen appliances from Keurig, Ninja, and KitchenAid; 15 percent off select Therabody items; and up to $100 off select Apple iPads.

Nordstrom: Select styles across categories are up to 60 percent off, including discounts on popular brands like Vince Camuto, Barefoot Dreams, Steve Madden, and Thread & Supply.

Outerknown: From November 1 through November 8, shoppers can save up to 60 percent off past-season styles, including men’s and women’s wardrobe staples.

Reef: It’s not called an early Black Friday deal, but Reef’s Last Chance Sale is equally as exciting. Save up to 30 percent off past-season water-friendly sandals and shoes.

Beauty deals

Sephora: Sephora loyalists know to get their shopping carts ready weeks in advance in preparation for the Sephora Savings Event. The sitewide savings event is one of the retailer’s biggest and best sales of the year and coveted makeup, skincare, and hair care products tend to sell out quickly, so don’t wait long to scoop up your favorite things.

The discount you receive depends on your Beauty Insider status: Rouge members (the ultimate beauty gurus) got early access to the sale beginning on October 27 and receive 20 percent off, while VIB members and Insiders gained access on October 31, and receive 15 percent off and 10 percent off, respectively. The sale runs through November 6 for all members. Use the code TIMETOSAVE at checkout.
