Stores really want you to turn up ready to shop on Black Friday—and often, on Thanksgiving Day as well.

To draw shoppers away from the dinner table on Thanksgiving, or out of bed early on Black Friday, retailers are offering huge discounts as usual, and they are sometimes totally giving stuff away as well. Free coffee, free gift cards, bonus coupons, and other free prizes will greet shoppers—and likely put them in the mood to spend—at many stores on Black Friday 2017.

Here are all the freebies shoppers can look forward to on Black Friday and Thanksgiving Day 2017.
