Drone shopping is officially a thing, now that the formerly futuristic devices have become this generation’s version of remote-controlled cars. They’re the toy du jour of the modern hobbyist, and that means this year you can expect them to turn up on a number of holiday wish lists.
Fortunately, this year’s Black Friday deals include a few online-only options so you can save a few bucks on drone shopping.
Be warned that many of these deals come with a suggested age limit (no doubt to avoid nine-figure lawsuits), so don’t send preteens to pick one up for you. A few also suggest the drones be used only indoors. Take heed, and happy hunting!
