Anker's Black Friday Early Access sale is winding down this week, so we're again highlighting all of the best deals from the event before it ends on November 16. With this sale, when you buy two or more Anker products sitewide you can get 25 percent off your entire order. There are also a few "mystery boxes" that can include hundreds of dollars in savings, if you're willing to risk not knowing what you're buying ahead of time.

In terms of the base sale, there are plenty of great accessories that you can buy to take advantage of the bundle savings, including the new MagSafe-compatible Anker 3-in-1 Charging Cube ($149.95). This device has space to simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

There's also the Anker Prime 20,000 mAh Power Bank with Smart Digital Display ($129.99). Although this one is on sale at $110.49 without the bundle deal, if you buy this and the 3-in-1 Cube together, you'll net a bigger discount. The Power Bank will be knocked down to $97.50 and the 3-in-1 Cube will go down to $112.46 thanks to the 25 percent savings.



At the bottom of the Black Friday Early Access sale page, Anker also has a few blind boxes on sale, priced at $19.99 (up to $219.99 in value) and at $59.99 (up to $799.99 in value). These mystery boxes include one Anker accessory, but you won't know what you're getting until they arrive. All items in the $19.99 box are worth more than $19.99, and all items in the $59.99 box are worth more than $59.99, so no matter what you'll be getting a deal.

All mystery box items are non-returnable (with the exception of quality issues). They are also excluded from the 25 percent off promotion when purchasing two or more items. These could net you a huge discount with a collection of solid stocking stuffers for the holidays, if you're willing to take the blind box risk.

2 Thumbs up for the Anker 3-in-1 Charging Cube! Just got one and it is super high build quality - metal finish and heavy so it stays in place. Really strong magsafe magnet and great for the new landscape view features. Very compact but so doesn't take up much room and will be great for traveling too.
 
I don't need any of this stuff, but the gambler in me had to order a couple mystery boxes. I am prepared to be disappointed.
 
Is that the J.J. Abrams sale?

Let’s hope it’s not the Damon Lindelhof sale. Really promising tracking emails about amazing things that never seem to quite show up.

Edit: aaaand it was. Big build up to even bigger disappointment.

I agree 1000% - I own 3 of these. Two for the bedsides and one to travel with. I'd highly recommend the cube.
 
I rolled the dice on the $60 box and got two 615 power strips (currently $44 each, down from $69). I was prepared to be underwhelmed, and that's about what I figured... but it still would have been nice to at least get two different products!

if the mystery box was: "$59.99 for at least one item worth $59.99, up to $799.99, or a combination of items that can reach 799.99" it would be a cooler buy-in.
 
Oh the old "mystery" promotion. Companies use those to get rid of excess stock. I am sure the random box here and there has something good, but the vast majority will be the least sold items.

I do love Anker products so I am tempted even knowing this.

Also starting at only $20 at least, so odds are whatever you get should be ok if you actually need it.
 
That's gambling. Is it even legal? They're not registered as a casino are they?
It is hardly gambling. In gambling you risk money for potentially (usually) nothing in return.

Here, you'll get stuff. My guess is the minimum it'll be will be the price you paid. So the $20 box will contain at least $20 in cables/chargers.

It's a great way to get rid of returns/open box/stuff that fell off of the back of the shelf in the warehouse two years ago.

I mean, as long as I don't get a bunch of micro-usb cables I'll be happy. I already have like a zillion of those.

I ordered a mystery box in Germany. I got a charger that was technically more expensive than what I paid, but would have been cheaper than what I paid if I’d bought it on Amazon.
