Black Friday Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we call Black Friday Black Friday?
It's thought that the term Black Friday was used as early as the 1950s by workers who call in sick to work the day after Thanksgiving in order to to accrue a four-day weekend but there is speculation that it also refers to sales by companies moving from being 'in the red' to 'in the black'.
When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday 2025 will fall on November 28 and, as we usually do, we expect to see big sales from major retailers accross the Friday, through the weekend and into Cyber Monday, on December 1.
Should I wait for Black Friday deals?
Yes, if you're reading this in September or October and need to save money on your purchase. Black Friday often gives big discounts on certain products but there's no knowing for sure if the product you want will be on sale.
Amazon Prime Day is usually around early to mid July and usually a second Prime Day occurs in October each year, and other sites run competing sales events during this summer and fall period.
However, if you're reading this any time outside of those periods, it might be worth just shopping for the best deal and purchasing when it suits you, unless you're happy to wait until a peak trading event like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is an extension of the sales event known as Black Friday. Though Black Friday is the iconic day after Thanksgiving when stores slash prices on their products, recent years have seen Cyber Monday become just as popular. The term "Cyber Monday" was coined in 2005 and, as the story goes, came to be because Black Friday shoppers would try continuing their spree on Monday when they went back to work. The reason? Well, a faster internet connection, of course. Then, stores just started rolling with it.
When is Cyber Monday?
The last Cyber Monday was December 2 2024. Black Friday sales run from the Friday after Thanksgiving and over the weekend. Then, on the Monday after, sales get the new name of "Cyber Monday."
Is Black Friday better than Cyber Monday?
Besides the dates, the difference is typically negligible. You can expect to see some Black Friday deals continue or change a bit through Cyber Monday, and sometimes, other products on websites get discounted on the Monday after, too. However, beware: Not all Black Friday deals transfer over. If you absolutely need a deal you see on Black Friday, it might be a good idea to snag it while you know it's there.
When is Cyber Monday 2025?
The next Cyber Monday is Monday December 1 2025, it follows Thanksgiving on Thursday November 27 and Black Friday on Friday November 28 2025.
How we test the best space gifts
To guarantee you're getting honest, up-to-date recommendations on the best space gifts to buy, here at Space.com we make sure to put every product we can get our hands on through a rigorous review to fully test each product. Each product is reviewed based on many aspects, from its construction and design, to how well it functions and its performance in the field.
While not every product in our Black Friday and Cyber Monday round-up may have been tested, we'll only recommend a product if it's similar to another which we've independently reviewed and verified to be a decent and worthwhile purchase.
For products that we have reviewed, each item is carefully tested by either our expert staff or knowledgeable freelance contributors who know their subject areas in depth. This ensures fair reviewing is backed by personal, hands-on experience with each device and is judged based on its price point, class and destined use.
We look at how easy each camera is to operate, whether it contains the latest up-to-date imaging technology, whether the cameras can shoot high-quality stills photos and high-resolution video, and also suggest if a particular camera would benefit from any additional kit to give you the best viewing experience possible.
With complete editorial independence, Space.com is here to ensure you get the best buying advice on cameras, whether you should purchase an instrument or not, making our buying guides and reviews reliable and transparent.
