As expected, Amazon is offering a number of Black Friday deals all week long and through Cyber Monday, with top discounts on big screen TVs, headphones, cameras and vacuums.
This year, the e-tailer is also doing its part to encourage shopping with small businesses, with a huge promotional push behind the growing number of independent sellers on Amazon.com.
The site says customers can shop from thousands of Black Friday deals from small and medium-sized businesses throughout Amazon’s 48-hour Black Friday event, including deals from women-owned, military family-owned, and Black-owned businesses.

How to Shop Amazon and Small Businesses
While there are calls by some to boycott Amazon on Black Friday in favor of supporting small businesses, the online retailer has introduced thousands of Small Business Holiday Deals running through Cyber Monday and the rest of the year. Customers can also shop for gifts from independent artists, designers, makers and authors through Amazon’s Small Business Gift Guide.
Much like eBay or Etsy, independent sellers can set up a storefront on Amazon, helping them reach a much larger audience than through their own sites or local boutiques. The most popular storefronts are found in the Amazon Handmade section, which offers a ton of unique jewelry, toys, stationery, housewares and made-to-order gifts. You can also read up on each artist in their profile to find out where they’re located and how everything is produced (as the name suggests, much of these offerings are handmade).
This year, Amazon’s Black Friday deal also gets you 20% off select items on Oprah’s Favorite Things list — the talk show host’s annual list of her favorite products to give for the holidays. This year’s list includes a number of Oprah-approved many from people of color and women-owned businesses, including Kiya Tomlin, Clara Sunwoo, and Saysh by Olympic track star, Allyson Felix.
Customers can visit amazon.com/oprah to shop now and receive 20% off select items on Oprah’s list through December 31.
