The countdown to Thanksgiving is on, but if you're itching to shop for more than turkey and yams this week, the Walmart Black Friday sale can give you that jump-start you're craving — the mega-retailer has the latest and greatest gifts for everyone on your list, even those hard-to-please loved ones. We've partnered with the brand for our 30 Days of Deals campaign to bring you the can't-miss Walmart Black Friday deals leading up to the holiday season.
From beauty to tech, the Walmart Black Friday sale has got you covered. Gift this ionic hair dryer that reviewers say is "better than a Dyson" for only $27. Snag a robot vacuum to clean up all of those Thanksgiving crumbs — and save $300 while you're at it. There's even bestselling wireless earbuds for just $20 — that's 75% off and one of the most exciting Walmart Black Friday deals we've seen. We promise everything on this list will be used year after year by its recipient, whether that’s someone on your holiday shopping list or you.
Scaled down to a space-saving 6.5 inches, the adorable single-serve Keurig makes a cup of joe in a jiff. You can't beat the scaled-down price either — this Walmart Black Friday deal is only $35. That's a savings of $24 for quick, hot coffee anytime you want. Go planet-friendly and grab a reusable pod filter (sold separately) so you can ground your own favorite roast or use it with a K-cup. The K-Express also has a removable reservoir for easy refilling and an auto-shutoff feature that will power down the K-Express five minutes after your last brew cycle. "I bought one for myself and one for a gift," said a happy shopper. "It's very compact and the new design looks so nice on my counter — much better than the older bulky one. We use it several times in the morning and evening, and it never disappoints."
This robo vac doesn't just do the cleaning for you; it does the thinking too. It uses special technology to navigate your house, from hardwood floors to rugs and beyond, with smooth transitions. The Eufy takes care of crumbs, dirt and pet hair all in one — without you having to lift a finger — and then auto-empties itself into a dust bag within a separate bin. Even better: The device typically sells for nearly $500, but it's on sale for under $200 during the Walmart Black Friday sale. "This is my first robotic cleaner and I have to say, it is life-changing. No more having to grab the broom, dustpan or even the vacuum cleaner multiple times a day. No more bending over each time to pick up the trash. This floor cleaner does it all," said a thrilled user.
Sometimes buying earbuds can feel like a pick-two game: Choose between sound quality, comfort and price. We're happy to announce that we've found a pair that delivers all three for a very affordable $20 — and that's discounted from $80, so you're saving enough to buy multiple sets for holiday gifts. Water-resistant and TV-ready, these Veatool earbuds can be used for nearly anything you want — from working out at the gym to watching a real tear-jerker at home. You can get up to 60 hours of playback time between these buds and the case, plus they're available in black, white, purple and blue. "I love that they are lightweight and the charge lasts forever," said a five-star reviewer. "The sound is amazing. It has great noise reduction, and I enjoy the case being big so I never lose it. Great product — better than my AirPods."
In the world of hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic is considered the gold standard. But it comes with a $430 price tag, putting it out of reach for most people. However, there's an alternative on sale for $27 at the Walmart Black Friday sale that shoppers swear holds its own against the mighty Supersonic. It's from the folks at Nexpure, and it belongs in your cart, pronto. This dryer offers a lot of perks to help you get a sleek, salon-worthy blowout. For starters, it uses ionic technology to reduce frizz and ramp up the shine as it dries, giving you a smooth look. It also boasts a whopping 1,800 watts of power to help you get the level of wind power you want. "Better than a Dyson," raved a fan. "... The Dyson is so heavy compared to this one. My hair actually dries faster and it is so much softer. It is also not as loud as a Dyson. The magnetic attachments are great."
Do you or someone you know struggle with back pain? Many do, and sometimes it only takes bending over the wrong way to set it off. At least be confident in your relief: This heating pad is specially made just for back pain, and it can be yours for $18 (down from $60). Thanks to a unique contoured design, it hugs your neck and shoulders, and ties around your waist for thorough heat therapy. It offers four heat settings with auto shut-off to prevent overheating. One adoring fan wrote," "This is the best heating pad I've owned. It heats up quickly and easily — even the lowest setting is quite adequate. The plush feel is a plus and it covers the entire back. I like that it rests around the shoulders so heat is distributed there too (something you don't get with regular rectangular pads). There is also heat in the neck area."
