The holiday season is all about capturing memories, and nothing captures an impromptu moment better than an instant camera. For these priceless memories, you can now spend less on said camera with this early Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal on the third-generation Polaroid Now and film bundle. It's one of the better picks this holiday season if you're looking for a creative addition to your tech collection or a thoughtful and personal gift. Down to a record-low $136, a savings of $24 over its usual $160 price, this is an unmissable Black Friday deal.

Instant cameras make more sense than ever during the holidays. You get real physical photos that you can give to someone on the spot -- perfect for parties, family gatherings and year-end travel. If you've been looking for a camera that gets people talking and creates moments rather than just taking more digital pictures, this is a smart option. The included film pack with this Polaroid Now bundle means you can start shooting right out of the box.

The third-generation Polaroid Now may appear simple, but it packs meaningful enhancements, including a two-lens autofocus system that ensures sharp images. There's a built-in tripod mount for capturing group shots, USB-C charging and compatibility with both i-Type and 600 film for the classic Polaroid experience. It's simple enough for beginners but still enjoyable for seasoned photographers who want a fun, compact camera that offers instant analog photos.

Priced at $136, the third-generation Polaroid Now is a steal, but it isn't the only Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal worth eyeing. We're rounding up the top early Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Apple products, headphones and more. Head on over to save big this holiday season.

Why this deal matters

Instant camera bundles typically come with a higher price tag, especially when they include film. This discount brings the price to one of the lowest we've seen. With holiday gatherings right around the corner, this is a great way to create memories you can actually hold in your hands. Deals like this tend to sell out quickly, so if you've been wanting a Polaroid camera for yourself or as a gift, now is the time to grab it.
