Black Friday half-off deals: 20+ Black Friday deals that save you 50% or more

Table of Contents

This year has been a doozy when it comes to the cost of simply existing. Shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals is a smart move if you're trying to save some money this year. In all fairness, the Black Friday sales have blown us away with just how good they are. Not to mention, they haven't fizzled out just because Black Friday is officially over.

But if you're not impressed with a measly 20% off sale, maybe a 50% off sale will do the trick. Somehow, we're still seeing these epic deals across tons of categories like kitchen appliances, Lego sets, headphones, and more. Stuff you actually want for yourself or to give as gifts this holiday season might very well be half off right now.

As a journalist, I'm better at words than I am with numbers, so I'm cheating a bit here, and I've included deals that are 47% off or more. I understand that doesn't qualify as a full half-off, but a few deals that hover at 47% or 48% were just too good to disqualify.

If you're hoping to snag a super great deal before Cyber Monday, here's a curated list of some excellent deals that'll save you (about) 50%.

Best half-off kitchen deal

Why we like it

If you're searching for a holiday gift that's likely to be a hit for almost anyone, an ice cream maker is a great bet. The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine is a workhorse of a kitchen appliance that'll allow you to become your own ice cream artist — or you can also go the sorbet or frozen yogurt route. In any case, snagging this model at Amazon will save you a sweet 48% compared to the list price of $129.95. Plus, if you gift this ice cream maker over the holidays, you're in line for a VIP invite to the summer ice cream social.

Best half-off streaming deal

Why we like it

"In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month)." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Best half-off home deal

Why we like it

Serving as an air purifier, heater, and fan, the Blueair ComfortPure 3-in-1 (T20i) is a perfect one-shop model for all your home air needs. The T20i model is designed to filter the air in rooms up to 1,689 square feet, and it's currently on sale at Amazon for half off. Instead of $599.99, you can snag this massive model for just $299.98. It's on sale for the same price as the smaller model, the Blueair ComfortPure 3-in-1 (T10i), which is only designed for rooms that reach up to 840 square feet. Boiled down, you're getting twice as much air-purifying power for the same price.

Best half-off Lego deal

Why we like it

Lego deals are always a hit during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but it's rare to see one hit half off. If you're cool with bugs (don't worry — these don't fly), you're in for a treat with the Lego Ideas The Insect Collection, which is on sale at Amazon for only $40, down from the normal price of $79.99. You get to build three stunning insects that'll add a colorful pop to any room as we head into the dark winter months.

Best half-off AirPods deal

Why we like it

This is cheating a bit because we're looking at a 47% discount, but snagging a pair of Apple AirPods 4 for just $69 is one of the standout Black Friday deals this year. At this price, grab a pair for yourself, another pair for when one earbud goes into the washing machine, and one more to give as the best stocking stuffer of the year.
