Shopping at a brick-and-mortar might get your heart rate up, but it’s not technically a sport—at least, not yet. In addition to our favorite Black Friday deals, the gear team here at WIRED has scoured the web for topic-specific home and lifestyle bargains that you can order from the safety and comfort of your living room.
Handpicked WIRED Black Friday Guides:

Sonos Smart Speakers – ($25 – $100 off)
Date: Nov. 23-27
Buy Sonos One with Alexa for $175 ($25 off) on Sonos and AmazonBuy Sonos Play:1 for $150 ($50 off) on Sonos and AmazonBuy Sonos Playbar for $600 ($100 off) on Sonos and AmazonBuy Sonos Playbase for $600 ($100 off) on Sonos and Amazon
Sonos is discounting quite a few of its speakers over Thanksgiving weekend. We highly recommend the Sonos One because it has Alexa support, as well as the Play:5, Sonos Playbar, and Sub. If you really don’t care about Alexa, the Play:1 is also available and the Playbase, which is great if you want your soundbar to sit below your TV (though the Playbar sounds nicer).
The best thing about Sonos (outside the excellent sound quality) is how easily they all connect up. You can have a speaker in every room of your house and play music to all of them independently, or group them up. It’s easy, and that’s why they’re some of our favorite home speakers.
