Amazon Hidden Gems sale: 25 best pre-Black Friday deals we've found so far

Amazon has revealed its big pre-Black Friday Sale, with a number of Hidden Gems heavily discounted on the site. Black Friday 2019 is set to take place 22nd November and run for eight days.

That is a lot of discounts, but it hasn't stopped Amazon from revealing a number of new deals that it is billing as Hidden Gems - this is a sale that will have new discounts every day and will run from 8 November to the 12 November.

UPDATE: These Hidden Gems deals have now expired but many of them are still on offer - alongside a host of other bargains - over at our pre-Black Friday hub. Go check 'em out before they get snapped up.

These are the products it believes that are some of its top-rated, but not that well-known products. While that means you won't find PlayStation deals or iPad deals here, you will see a number of decent brands - such as Anker, Eufy and Ticwatch.

We've scoured the thousands of deals on the site, and below are the pick of the bunch - everything from the best robot vacuum deals to the best whisky deals we have found so far - as well as a wearable that's top of our best smartwatch list. Enjoy!

ShortList will be offering you the best deals throughout the Black Friday period, so keep our hub bookmarked.
