The days of enduring long store lines after your Thanksgiving feast are officially over—and thank goodness!

Tons of retailers are offering early Black Friday deals this year, including Amazon. The retailer has over 10,000 markdowns as part of its early Black Friday sale and surprisingly, the offers are on par with what shoppers have come to expect on the biggest shopping day of the year. Top brands like Apple, Sony, Cuisinart, and Casper are featured, and discounts are as steep as 70 percent off.

Holiday shipping delays and product shortages are expected this year, which is why many stores released their Black Friday deals early this year. Considering that tons of popular products tend to sell out or become backordered around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, early holiday deals are a great way to save and beat the frenzy. And even better, shoppers can wrap up their gift shopping before December, ensuring they can fully enjoy the season.

While you don't have to be a Prime member to shop the bulk of Amazon's early sales, only members will get complimentary shipping on eligible products and gain access to the full assortment of markdowns. But don't fret, anyone can get in on these exclusive savings by signing up for a free 30-day trial of Prime.

Dozens of Amazon devices are among the deals. Shoppers can get a few of the retailer's most popular ones, the Fire TV Stick 4K and the Echo Dot (third generation), on sale right now. Various Kindles, Echo Show smart home hubs, and smart televisions are also discounted.

Apple AirPods, Roomba robot vacuum cleaners, and Ninja kitchen gadgets tend to be hot holiday gifts, and remarkably, they're included in the early savings, too. And in addition to the huge sale, the retailer has curations of gifts at various price points, making it easy to find the best ones out of its vast product assortment that fit within your budget.

Amazon is releasing new deals every day, which can all be found through its Gold Box sale section. Start with these impressive deals below or head to the early Black Friday sales hub to browse them all.
