If you have some holiday shopping left to complete, be sure to check out these great Black Friday deals that are $25 and under which are available to buy now. It’s worth noting that not all of the deals below are available right now, but we know that they will be coming this week so be sure to stay tuned to CNET for more information as it becomes available.

Apple

Apple Watch SE: From $219 (available now)

Save $50

If you’re looking for the most affordable Apple Watch that’s actually worth buying this holiday season, it’s the Apple Watch SE. Sure, you can grab the Series 3 for less, but it’s really old and honestly not worth it at this point. Best Buy has both the 40 and 44mm options in stock, and we anticipate other retailers joining in on this discount (but not Apple directly).

Roku Streaming Stick 4K: $29 (available now)

Save $21

While we may not see a bunch of cheap TVs this Black Friday, we are seeing a lot of great streaming stick deals. Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K gives you nearly instant access to your favorite streaming apps, voice control and much more. At this discounted price, you may want to pick up a couple so you have one to use on each TV at home.

Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones: $279 (available now)

Save $50

These are the replacement of the popular Bose QuietComfort 35 II that ranked among the best noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones for years. With the QuietComfort 45 you have longer battery life, USB-C charging and more.

Ring Fit Adventure: $55 (available now)

Save $25

It wasn’t that long ago that the Ring Fit Adventure was as hard to get as the PS5 is right now, so to see a Black Friday sale on it is quite impressive. This tracks as the lowest price we’ve seen it go for, so whether you need one for yourself or to give as a gift, you won’t want to miss out on this discount.

$55 at Target

Mint Mobile

Mint Mobile 6 Months: $45 (available now)

Save $45

No one wants to spend a lot for mobile service, right? This deal from Mint Mobile scores you three months of free service when you buy three months, meaning you can get six whole months of service with 4GB of data each month for just $45. There are other plans with more data, should you need it, so be sure to check them all out and make the switch today. Mint works on T-Mobile’s GSM network, so almost all unlocked phones should work with it.

AirPods 3: $155

Save $24

Amazon has Apple’s newest AirPods, the AirPods 3 on sale for just $150 right now, which is $24 less than the Apple Store and other retailers.

Garmin

Garmin 245 Music: $250 (available now)

Save $100

There are a lot of smartwatches and fitness trackers on the market, but most of them make you decide which part of the experience is more important. Garmin does a nice job of balancing the two by providing accurate fitness tracking with key smartwatch features, including music integration with Spotify and other services.

$250 at REI

Google

Google Pixel 6: $499

Save $100

Finding a Pixel 6 right now is not an easy task, so to imagine one being on sale for Black Friday seems a bit surreal. BestBuy is offering $100 off the unlocked Pixel 6 during Black Friday, but we’d imagine that inventory will be pretty low for this, so you’ll need to act quick once you see it on sale.

$499 at TargetYou’re receiving price alerts for Google Pixel 6 (128GB, Stormy Black)

Walmart

Onn 70-inch 4K TV: $398

Save $181

We won’t see as many really cheap TV deals this year as we have in previous years for a few reasons, but we are starting to see some really large TVs at truly affordable prices. The Onn smart TV runs Roku’s OS, giving you quick access to your favorite streaming services, has a 4K LED panel and much more. We haven’t reviewed this particular model, but Roku is our favorite TV operating system, making this a great price for a huge TV.

$398 at Walmart

Razer

Razer Power Up Bundle V2: $79

Save $50

This kit includes Razer’s Cynosa Lite, Gigantus V2 L, Death Adder Essential and Black Shark V2 X, which are a mouse, keyboard, headset and mousepad. If you’re looking to set up a new gaming rig or need to upgrade your current one, this bundle is one you definitely should consider.

$79 at Walmart

iRobot

iRobot Roomba i1 Plus self-empty robot vacuum: $349

Save $230

Robot vacuums are one of my favorite smart home additions, but more often than not I forget to empty the bin and then it doesn’t run the following morning. This one has a self emptying container so that won’t happen (until you forget to empty the big bin), along with all of the other great features that we’ve come to expect from the best robot vacuums.
