Updated 12:59 PM ET, Mon October 4, 2021New York (CNN Business)Black Friday isn't for another 53 days. For Amazon, however, it starts today.
Amazon has begun rolling out "Black Friday-worthy deals" to jumpstart the holiday shopping season that's expected to be chaotic because of shipping and supply chain issues. Amazon announced Monday "deep discounts across every category" including fashion, home goods, toys and electronics that will be available on a special webpage.
Popular brands, such as Apple (AAPL), KitchenAid and Hasbro (HAS), will also be discounted on "select days" in October and November. New deals will also be added every day throughout the next two months.
Amazon (AMZN) is also adding a new tool for US-based Prime members that shop on its app. They can now send a gift without knowing the recipient's address. Instead, they can enter the person's mobile number or email address and they will be alerted of the purchase or given the option of exchanging it for an Amazon gift card without letting the sender know.
