Top 10 Black Friday Gifts
This year, you didn't have to wait until Black Friday to get the best deals on popular presents. Gifts ranging from video games to toys to Blu-Ray disc players have been showing up on sale for weeks now as retailers grapple with a massive pullback in consumer spending. TIME looks at this year's most wanted presents.
Sure, they can be pricey, but since consumers indicate they plan to stay home more often—cooking meals or taking a "staycation" instead of a vacation—a brand new TV lets you indulge while still saving money. Plasma and LCD TV prices have dropped by almost a third in the last year and a Black Friday deal could save you as much as $300 on top of that. If you're one of the holdouts who still hasn't upgraded from analog to digital—a must by February 2009—now is your chance for a TV on the cheap. A PriceGrabber report predicts that, despite hard economic times, three-quarters of online shoppers who don't already have a high-def TV will purchase one within the next year.
