Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many stores to keep their doors shut on Thanksgiving — some for the first time in years.

And while the Black Friday shopping rush continues to encroach on turkey day, some retailers are trying to entice shoppers to open their wallets well before the holiday and buy gifts early. In fact, many stores have already started offering deep discounts on merchandise.

This year, Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 25 — and once again, many retailers are opting to keep their brick-and-mortar locations closed. But while the actual stores will be closed on the holiday, those looking to start their shopping after indulging in the traditional turkey dinner can still peruse and purchase in their online shops.
