The best early Black Friday toy deals to make you and your kiddo smile

The best Black Friday toy deals as of Oct. 22:

Though toys may be the most classic holiday gift out there, they can be a very overwhelming gift to shop for, too — especially considering all the options out there. Add that to the fact that kids generally make it very clear when they don't like a gift, and suddenly toy shopping has your stress spiking.

Before your cortisol levels shoot through the roof, take a deep breath, and remember that you have a trusty team of shopping reporters to guide you through this Black Friday season. Scroll down for shopping tips and our favorite finds from this week.

How to shop toy deals this year:

Our first major tip is to keep your eye on this list. We'll be updating this post week after week with the most popular toys and best savings across retailers.

Beyond checking back in, we highly recommend shopping sooner rather than later. One, it's a pretty effective way to feel prepared once December rolls around so you can actually enjoy the holiday (groundbreaking, we know). But this old trick of getting your shopping done early is even more important with the new conditions this year — widespread supply chain shortages mean that shipping times will be longer than usual, so now is the time to start shopping if you want to guarantee that gifts arrive on time.

Luckily, the start times of Black Friday sales have adjusted accordingly, so scoring a good deal and making sure your kid actually has a present to unwrap come December are both very attainable goals. Just make sure you start asking for any wishlists from your kiddos ASAP, and you should be good to go.

What toy savings we're expecting:

Early Black Friday savings have already begun, but retailers will be rolling out more and more deals as we get closer to the official shopping holiday on Nov. 26. Here are the highlights:

Amazon

Amazon rolled out their early savings in the form of their Epic Daily Deals event, which started Oct. 4. While they briefly ran a $10 off $50 toy purchases mid-October, we expect to see more savings as Black Friday nears.

Walmart

The big box store will be running three Deals for Days events in November, starting Nov. 3, where we're expecting to see a ton of toy deals, followed by even more Nov. 10. There were also some solid toy deals live as of Oct. 21. (Check those out below.)

Target

Though Target's pre-Black Friday Deal Days event has already come to a close, they're still offering holiday price matching through Dec. 24, so you can still benefit from later discounts on toys even if you shop now.

Best Buy

Best Buy is currently running their second pre-Black Friday savings event through Oct. 22. Their official Black Friday will be kicking off Nov. 19, but their "Black Friday Price Guarantee" promises you won't find better savings until we actually reach the holiday, so you can start saving big now.

Macy's

They've yet to announce their official Black Friday plans, but they have already dropped tons of early savings that have many toys at their lowest prices of this season.
