Amazon reveals Black Friday-worthy deals ahead of festive season

Amazon has announced a Black Friday-worthy series of deals ahead of the holiday season.

Today Amazon has announced a “Black Friday-worthy” series of deals, enabling customers to begin shopping ahead of the holiday season. Amazon has sought to make this as accessible as possible; users can simply ask, “Alexa, what are my deals?” to access the sales. Amazon has also unveiled its new “Holiday Gift List” which enables customers to create gift ideas for family and friends during the festive season. Prime members in the US will also send gifts with the recipient’s number without needing a recipient’s address.

“We’re excited to help customers get great holiday deals even earlier this year, including thousands of small business products,” said Dave Clark, CEO of worldwide consumer at Amazon. “Customers can confidently shop early knowing they are receiving incredible deals starting today, letting them get a head start on their holiday to-do lists so they can truly enjoy the holiday season. And I want to thank our incredible team around the world for everything they do each day to support each other and our customers—I couldn’t be prouder to work with you all.”
