I don’t know if you’ve noticed this: Black Friday deals are here, and they are plentiful. I’ve been rounding up the best of them in my big hub of Black Friday deals for a few weeks now, but today, I’m bringing you an extra-curated selection filled with the deals that I think are definitely worth shopping before next week (when things start selling out).

I started with the best sellers so far. Strategist readers have been clicking away at all the good Nordstrom Black Friday deals — and I can’t say I blame them, because the discounts and product variety are excellent. And a lot more items were added yesterday, so there’s even more to choose from.

And to top everything off, I scrolled through our archives and best-in-class guides to see if any items were discounted, like a supremely fluffy blanket that’s one of our best under-$200 picks. The result: the top 25 deals to shop right now.

Lots of Melissa & Doug toys are already on sale at Amazon. I particularly like this Rainbow Fish–esque soft toy for babies.

This duffel with a hidden shoe compartment has been a Strategist best seller this month. It’s on sale in 13 colors at Herschel’s website; the discount is either 40 or 50 percent off, depending on the pattern, which is a very solid deal.

These dummyproof eye-shadow sticks that Zooey Deschanel says last all day are on sale in over 20 shades.
