The turkey and the leftovers have been eaten, the Black Friday shoppers have (hopefully) returned home, and you, my smart friend, are sitting at your computer or skimming your phone from the comfort of your home or office. And you're probably ready to pounce on some online deals, are we right?

Regardless, here are some of the best deals that’ve caught our collective “eye” in the past 12 or so hours -- remember, some companies revealed their deals a little early.
