Black Friday 2018 Preview: 10 Must-Have Items On Everyone's Wish List

by Tom Philip

We’re just around the corner from some major shopping holidays, and you just know the likes of Amazon and Apple are gearing up their deals for the likes of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the Christmas season. All that said, shopping during those times sucks, because everyone else is, too.

To that end, we looked around for some hot deals on things people everyone wants to take advantage of right now before everyone loses their damn minds the weekend after Thanksgiving (a day in which people lose their minds in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by close friends and family who are themselves losing their minds. It’s a beautiful cycle.)

We checked out the most popular items on wishlists right now for the coolest stuff people want right now, at prices it will be hard to beat, even on the nightmare that is Black Friday. Here’s what you can get at the moment.
