Just 10 Fun Things You’ll Want To Impulse Buy From Amazon’s Early Black Friday Deals

Promising review: “My kids (late elementary school) both LOVE the emotional support plushies and they absolutely freaked out (in a good way) at the idea of getting a bunch of them for an advent calendar. I let them open one early so we could evaluate them for the review, and they liked it. My kids think they’re perfect! My biggest problem now is that they are already fighting over who gets to open which date in December. I probably have to get another one!” — Grammar Snob
Promising review: “I’m in love. I had my doubts about purchasing this machine, but it’s working well for me so far, and I’m saving money now that I’m no longer going to Starbucks. I like the flavors more than the Starbucks nitro that I was getting before. You can make a variety of coffees, from espresso to regular coffee. The machine reads the barcode label off of the coffee pod and it automatically makes it once you press start. It’s not very loud, either. I recommend it!” — Rhiannon Angelina
Promising reviews: “Every other mask I’ve ever tried is pure TRASH compared to these. I slept in mine (yes, it’s worth it), and it was very minimally disruptive to my sleep. You don’t notice it after a while. Love the cooling feel, and there is no scent. My skin (I’m 38, so I have visible pores and small wrinkles) looked tighter and brighter the next morning and for days after. Absolutely recommend! The first mask I’ve EVER seen results from.” — Thompson
“Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it’s pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It’s an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don’t mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!” — Nala
Promising review: “I wish I had known about these sooner! PicassoTiles are exactly like Magna-tiles but way more affordable. We just received the 100 tile set today — an early birthday gift for our soon-to-be-4-year-old. We have two sets of Magna-tiles — one with the grommets (purchased new last year) and one without (purchased second hand [no idea how old they are]). The PicassoTiles are the same weight and size as the MagnaTiles and have the same exact magnets. They do not have metal grommets, but the old MagnaTiles are indestructible, so I know that these will be too. And PicassoTiles are much prettier in my opinion, because they are slightly more translucent and have brighter colors. They integrate into the collection seamlessly. I highly recommend this product. And if you are considering buying any kind of magnetic tile toy for your child, I recommend purchasing as big a set a you can for versatility of play. Our son has played with these all day and night off and on every single day since we bought them last year. After integrating the new PicassoTile set, he hugged his enormous structure and declared them his favorite…twice. A wonderful toy!” — skater mom
Promising review: “This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy. The texture wasn’t off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can’t say enough good things about this product and the brand. You need this product in your life!” — Sarah Deeb
Promising review: “I recently purchased a kitsch silk pillowcase, and it has exceeded all my expectations! The quality of the silk is incredibly soft and luxurious, providing a wonderfully smooth surface that has noticeably reduced frizz and bedhead in my hair. The playful and stylish design adds a fun touch to my bedroom decor, making bedtime feel like a treat. It’s also been gentle on my skin, helping to keep it hydrated and free from creases. Overall, this pillowcase combines comfort, style, and practical benefits in a delightful way. Highly recommended!” — Sarah
Promising review: “For less than half the price of AirPods, these do the exact same thing and come in fun colors. I sat around for months waiting for the AirPods to go on sale, and they never did, so I got these on Prime Day, and now I prefer these over my old AirPods, only had to charge the case once since I got them!” — Callie Watkins
Promising review (for the Disney Princess style): “I love these microfiber towels! They work like magic — even my mascara and eyeliner come off with just a little warm water. I wear a full face of makeup every day, and these towels easily remove it all with just a few swipes. They feel amazingly soft on the skin. Also, the Disney Princess set is the cutest I’ve seen, and the best part is that they are eco-friendly. No more filling the bathroom trash bin with used cotton pads or makeup remover wipes. Just toss them in with your dirty laundry and they come out of the dryer ready for another use. With this beautiful set, you can be a different princess each day of the week! I highly recommend this set.” — Aimee Busquet
Promising review: “I’m very happy with these warm pants. My house is very cold in the winter, and I am very cold in the winter. A few reviewers commented that the fit is weird. It is not. These are sweatpants with a thick lining; what did you expect? They are very comfortable and warm. They are stiffer than regular sweatpants because of the lining. But they are sweatpants — meaning they were never meant to make you look like a fashion queen. Just imagine curling up on the sofa with hot chocolate and a friendly cat during a polar vortex in your fleece-lined pants. Nice and cozy!” — Angela Thompson
It’s recommended for ages 8 and up! Here’s how to play: You deal all the cards out to your two to four players, and everyone keeps their mini deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words “taco,” “cat,” “goat,” “cheese,” and “pizza,” in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that’s said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add them to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!
Promising review: “Oh my…super fun game. Laughter all around. Gave to my son as a little extra something in Christmas stocking, he’s 18. I could tell he was thinking, what is this? But when we played as a family over the holiday, we had so much fun and laughed a lot, great memories will be shared over this game for a long long time!! Later, same day after playing, he told me he thought it wasn’t going to be fun at all but now it was the best stocking stuffer ever ;-). He and college roommates have the best time with this game. My oldest daughter has since purchased the game as well. Great fun! Buy it!” — Horse Girl
