Editor’s note: Black Friday is over, which means we’re no longer updating this post. But don’t worry: There are plenty of Cyber Monday deals to be had. Check out our roundup of the best Cyber Monday deals under $50, and sign up for our email newsletter so you never miss a sale again.

Each year Black Friday gets bigger — but it doesn’t always feel like it’s getting better. If your inbox has been spammed like mine, then you’ll know there are thousands of reductions this year. And while we have spotted some serious discounts on big-ticket items like mattresses and tech, the deals that I’m getting excited about are a little more budget-friendly. My family have imposed some strict spending limits for holiday gifts this year, so I’m using Black Friday as a chance to tick off my to-buy-for list without breaking them. If you’re also on the hunt for some thoughtful-but-inexpensive gifts, or just love a deal that really feels like a deal, below are 122 that won’t set you back more than $50.

I’m done updating this post for the day, but most deals will remain live through the night and many through the weekend, so you can keep shopping. And I’ll be back early Monday to share all the best Cyber Monday sales, so be sure to come back then. But if you want to shop like a pro (and see the special offers that we don’t share with everyone), sign up for The Strategist newsletter.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
