Target's early Black Friday deals are almost here, giving shoppers a chance to save weeks before Black Friday officially arrives.
The retailer's early Black Friday deals run Nov. 5 through Nov. 7, followed by new limited-time offers every weekend throughout the holiday season. But you don't have to wait until Nov. 5 to start looking for deals.
Beginning Nov. 1, Target will roll out a new Deal of the Day every day through Dec. 24, with a one-day preview of upcoming offers to help shoppers plan ahead.
And if you're getting a head start on your gift list, there's even more to browse: Target is rolling out more than 8,000 new holiday gifts, with thousands priced at $5 or less and most new holiday items priced at $20 or less.

When do Target's early Black Friday deals start?
Target's early Black Friday deals start Nov. 5 and run through Nov. 7, but the retailer's holiday deals actually begin a few days earlier.
Here's what to know:
- Nov. 1: Target's daily Deal of the Day offers begin.
- Nov. 5–7: Target's early Black Friday deals run for three days.
- Every weekend after: New limited-time holiday offers will be available.
- Through Dec. 24: Target will continue offering a new Deal of the Day each day.
So, if you're planning to shop Target's Black Friday sale this year, I'd start checking for savings on Nov. 1 instead of waiting until the Nov. 5 event.

What holiday gifts are coming to Target?
Target is also stocking more than 8,000 new holiday gifts across toys, beauty, clothing, home decor, food, sports and wellness. Thousands of gifts will cost $5 or less, while most of Target's new holiday assortment will cost $20 or less.
Among the items Target highlighted are 100% cashmere, excluding functional trim, starting at $25, pajamas starting at $10, festive decor starting at $5 and faux fur throws for $30.
The assortment also includes toys from Lego, Barbie and Nintendo as well as beauty products from prestige, emerging and global brands sold through Target Beauty Studio. Favorite Day sweets and host gifts are part of the lineup, too.
For anyone shopping for stocking stuffers, Secret Santa gifts or smaller presents, I'd start with the under-$5 assortment before moving on to the bigger-ticket gifts.
"Guests tell us they want to give gifts that are thoughtful and personal, while feeling good about what they're spending," Cara Sylvester, Target's executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, said. "That's why we've brought together the brands they love, exciting trends and unexpected finds they won't see anywhere else — all at prices that make it easier to get that 'I can't wait to give this' gift."

Target also has a new AI gift-shopping tool
Target is also introducing Ask Target, an AI-powered shopping assistant available in beta on Target.com and the Target app.
According to the retailer, Ask Target is designed to help shoppers find inspiration, narrow their choices and shop more easily. Target is also offering additional AI-powered features and a digital holiday kids catalog.
The retailer's Academy of Giftology campaign launches in November with more gift inspiration, while a partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital includes a Gigglescape St. Jude bear with a donation tied to each purchase while supplies last.
