Amazon Black Friday deals have officially started and I'm sharing my favorite 45 deals from Amazon Alexa-enabled devices to 4K TVs. Amazon typically offers solid black Friday deals on laptops, gaming notebooks, tablets, phones, wearables, video games, and more. So if you want to get a running start on your holiday gift shopping for loved ones, including yourself, there will be plenty of early deals up for grabs.

As expected, Amazon Black Friday deals offer the lowest prices ever on some of the most wished-for products from top tech brands — and of course Amazon itself. For Black Friday, Amazon is slashing up to 70% off select branded Alexa devices and value packs like Echo Pop with free smart bulb bundles, Ring Video Doorbell with Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) bundles, eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi Systems, and Luna Gaming Controllers. 

Plus, save up to 50% on Amazon's newest devices including Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire HD 10 Kids and Kids Pro tablets, as well as the Echo Pop Kids Marvel's Avengers.

Here are my favorite Amazon Black Friday deals from Alexa devices to OLED TVs.
