Here at Yahoo, we love a good deal. A Black Friday deal? Even better. An early Black Friday deal? Even better ... er! After all, the holiday season is chaotic enough without having to scramble for sales while simultaneously entertaining the in-laws. But you know what separates the decent Black Friday deals from the truly stellar ones? The decent discounts will save you money, while the stellar markdowns save you money without the need to spend a lot of money. And that's why we went in search of the best Black Friday deals under $25 to shop as we speak.
There's a little something for everyone on this list, whether the special kid in your life would delight in a Squishmallows stuffed animal pillow (just $13, from $39) or your favorite home cook could use a new skillet (our fave is down to a mere $23). And don't forget to treat yourself while you're at it — we've included both fun and practical finds to snap up for a steal.
Now, as shopping editors, we'll be the first to tell you that not all deals are worth your time and hard-earned money. That's why we're hard at work comparing price histories across retailers to bring you the deals we would recommend to our friends and family. We'll be updating this list frequently, so check back in to see what's new in the world of Black Friday sales. Happy shopping!
The best Black Friday deals under $25
Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once. Oh, and this top seller is so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor. This might not be the biggest discount, but we've yet to see it on sale for less.

This nifty contraption is a fave of Yahoo staff and readers alike. Says one editor: "I was skeptical at first. After all, I was used to spending a lot of time crafting breakfast sandwiches. But after using this device once, I was hooked. It pristinely cooked every element of the sandwich — even the egg! The ham was smoky and warm, the cheese was perfectly melted and the egg was the ideal level of gooeyness. Plus, my English muffin didn’t get soggy."
It's not often on sale, and this is about as low as we've ever seen it marked down to (it currently beats Amazon's price, and you'll get free shipping with your Circle 360 membership). It makes a fun gift, hint-hint!

All-time-low price alert! The Fire TV Stick is a great way to add smart functions to a "dumb" TV. It also works if you have a smart TV and you just don't like the interface. It's a wild 55% off right now for a limited time.
"Do not let the fear of technology scare you away from using a Fire Stick!" said a fan. "We had a TV that was not a smart TV, and when we went to streaming, we quit using it. I decided to try the Fire Stick so we could have a TV in the guest room. Took five minutes to set it up. The remote is great too and simple to operate since it is Alexa-enabled or if you don't like using Alexa, it still is easy to use."

Know someone who appreciates lovely jewelry? Senior Beauty and Style Deals Writer Carrie McCabe recommends these beauties, which look so much more expensive than their $18 price tag.
"Coated in Swarovski crystals, these bestselling hoop earrings sparkle and shimmer from every angle," she says. "We love a good yellow gold pavé moment, but the hoops also come in white gold and rose gold if that's more your thing. Wear them on any ole Tuesday to dress up a simple outfit or reserve them for a formal occasion where you want to really wow."
Senior Tech Deals Writer Chris McGraw says, "These widely compatible smart plugs work with almost all smart-home services outside of HomeKit (and even that can be configured through IFTTT), but the true selling point is the fact that you get four for just $20. That's less than $5 per plug — an absolute steal with how useful these little gadgets actually are."
This is as low as we've seen them drop in years, and they make cool stocking stuffers!

You might not be experiencing freezing temperatures just yet, but if and when those overnight frosts occur, you'll be glad you thought to protect your outdoor spigots ahead of time.
These No. 1 bestsellers are like socks for your faucets, acting as insulators to help prevent your pipes from freezing — every homeowner's nightmare. This is as low as we've ever seen this pair on sale for, and over 20,000 were purchased in the past month, so we're not too far off...

Whether you could use a new neck warmer or want to treat someone on your list to a toasty yet stylish winter accessory, look no further than this fringed looker, which reviewers say is a dead-ringer for the popular (and pricey) Acne Studios scarf.
At 50% off, you'll be able to grab multiples without breaking the bank — it comes in plenty of fun colors and prints.
This pint-sized cutie is proof that you don't need a sprawling abode to enjoy the charms of a Christmas tree. At 3' tall, it'll fit just about anywhere and comes pre-lit so you won't have to deal with a jumble of string lights.
You can't beat that discount, either — choose from colorful or clear lights.
This versatile skillet ain't no flash in the pan — it's been a staple in one Yahoo Life editor's kitchen for years. Among its many perks are its lightweight, 2-pound design, as well as the removable silicone grip on its handle, which will protect your hands while you cook.
It's also dishwasher-safe, but our editor says, "Cleanup is a breeze and only requires a few swipes with a soapy sponge, even around the rivets that secure the handle." It's currently down to the best price we've seen all year.

Plush and oh-so-popular, this blankie is lightweight but warm enough for winter. I first felt this supremely soft comforter at my sister's house, and immediately told her to send me the product link so I could buy one for myself.
It's Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified, feels lighter than air but also manages to keep me toasty enough on cold nights. It has a box-stitch design to help keep the filling evenly distributed, and I haven't noticed any shifting. Plus, it's currently down to its best price of all time.

If your ratty old dish towels have seen better days, this 100% cotton set is an excellent swap. The waffle weave pattern not only looks nice, but it also offers a bit of texture for more effective scrubbing.
Our price trackers tell us this is within two dollars of these towels' all-time low, so wipe — er, swipe — 'em while they're on sale.

A wide range of ages will love playing and snuggling up with their Squishmallow plushie, many of which are on sale.
This fetching feline, Tahoe, is one of Amazon's most popular stuffed animals, but there are plenty of fun characters to choose from, each with different interests and personalities. Tahoe happens to be a purr-ticularly good 67% off (prices vary).
Yahoo Gifting Editor Amanda Garrity says, "I know, I know, gloves aren't exactly the most novel gift idea, but they're one of those things that we all need to refresh every couple of winters. These fleece-lined favorites are just as practical as they are pretty: One Amazon shopper raved that 'the fur cuff is perfect and looks expensive,' while another mentioned that they 'kept my hands warm during my trip to the northeast and in cold weather.' The best of both worlds, eh?"
That 66% discount isn't too shabby, either...
