Holiday Gift Guide

Black Friday is just about a week away. Now is the time to start planning your shopping strategy for the main event. If the thought of burning a hole in your pocket is making you a little queasy, there are plenty of deals online to grab before the big day. And, even though the unemployment rate is close to 10 percent, according to Retrevo’s Holiday Shopping Trends and Black Friday report, 78 percent of respondents are still willing to spend the same or more on electronics this year as they did last year. Perhaps that’s because retailers are drastically marking down the prices of electronics.

According to the Retrevo study, the number of consumers shopping online on Black Friday is estimated to increase from last year’s 33 percent to 43 percent this year. Twice as many respondents to the Gadgetology study said they’d rather shop online on Black Friday than go to the store. And who can blame them?

Although some of the hottest items on this year’s wish lists are still pretty pricey—number one, according to Retrevo, is a tablet, like the Apple iPad—deals for other products will be easier to find. Also high on the list is a laptop, an HDTV, and a smartphone. Low on the list this year is a netbook, as well as a 3DTV set. Many of these wish-list products are already discounted online. For example, we found the Motorola Droid 2 Android 3G smartphone for free with a new Verizon Wireless contract, or for $39.99 for renewing customers.

We rounded up 10 amazing deals that are hot on the Web right now to help you start your shopping early and avoid the Black Friday crowds. Remember, these deals are valid at time of publication and may not last long.
