THE annual mega-sale, Black Friday, is at the end of the month, and you can expect a lot of deals online soon.<\/p>\n
Cyber Monday follows on from that weekend of bargains, and will likelysee even more reductions – you'll find some of the best Black Friday deals then.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The biggest sale of the year might still be weeks away, but anybody hunting for deals shouldn't wait until then.<\/p>\n
This week we've already seen stores like John Lewis, Boots, Argos and AO launch their Black Friday sales (though we suspect many more discounts will appear on their sites nearer to the big day itself).<\/p>\n
Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday a prime time to buy cheaper Christmas gifts, with savings on beauty sets, games consoles and a wide range of toys. <\/p>\n
It's also a great time to replace white goods and tech, and to save money on beauty products – we'll have the top Black Friday sales picked out below.<\/p>\n
So, read on for our guide to bagging the best Black Friday deals – it'll be here in three weeks but you don't need to wait that long.<\/p>\n Black Friday isn't until the end of the month, but a few retailers are currently running site sales with savings across a variety of products.<\/p>\n We've picked out our favourites below, and we'll be keep this list update with all the new offers we find – so keep checking in.<\/p>\n If you struggle to get to sleep and don\u2019t want to rely on melatonin or other chemicals to help you get a good night's rest, you\u2019ll love the Weighted Blanket from Emma Sleep: it's a great deal.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It relies on pressure stimulation to reduce stress and help you hit the hay faster; it being on sale for 65% less will certainly help to reduce stress on your pockets.<\/p>\n Not only will it help you sleep for longer and hit that rem sleep just a tad faster, but the best part is it makes you feel like you\u2019re being cuddled without the added complications of pulling your partner's hair while you sleep.<\/p>\n If the saving of 60% is tempting to you, but you\u2019d like to find out more, we've rounded up 13 of the best-weighted blankets for all budgets. Head to our Emma mattress Black Friday deals page for more offers from the brand.<\/p>\n Miserable British weather is here, and what better way to keep yourself warm than wrapping up in your favourite Oodie that you nabbed for \u00a350 less?<\/p>\n An Oodie is a cross between some of your favourite ways to keep warm: a hoodie and a blanket and multiple reviews praising it for being \u2018so comfy and warm\u2019 as well as others comparing it to a \u2018bear hug\u2019.<\/p>\n You also have the option of purchasing an Oodie with as much personality as you they come in a wide selection, like the Harry Potter Gryffindor and penguin Oodies, which are also just \u00a339 for the Black Friday shopping event.<\/p>\n There are plenty of other Oodies worth taking a look at, so check out the Oodie Black Friday deals for more info.<\/p>\n A whopping saving of \u00a3100 is definitely a huge draw for an already popular hoover for anyone who has a furry friend at home.<\/p>\n The anti-wrap feature makes for an easier, more streamlined cleaning experience if you have any four-legged pals roaming the home.<\/p>\n It\u2019s kind to anyone with allergies since its anti-allergen seal traps those nasty particles within the Hoover, meaning no more sneezing fits during the spring clean.<\/p>\n One reviewer who has \u2018two moulting labradors\u2019 and the Shark Vacuum is the one that could do [the] job\u2019 left a perfect rating of five stars, praising its \u2018detachable main unit\u2019 that\u00a0 \u2018makes cleaning the stairs easy.\u2019<\/p>\n It's also worth looking at other options on our Shark Black Friday deals page.<\/p>\n We've actually tested this great item ourselves: head to our Dyson Corrale review to find out how they perform and what they do.<\/p>\n For more discounts on vacuums, fans and the much-loved AirWrap, make sure you check out our Black Friday Dyson deals article.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to be looking for the perfect Christmas present to make the most of the Black Friday deals. If you need to replace or upgrade your Hoover or other household electronics, now is the perfect time as you get to make use of the current sales.<\/p>\n Saving a superb \u00a3130 on the Dyson V8 is a huge draw in itself, but the actual vacuum has a lot to offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n No more getting tangled in wires or praying it\u2019s long enough to make it up the stairs. Every charge gets you 40 minutes of powerful suction – plenty of time to get through the house.<\/p>\n The de-tangling technology also means that fluff and long hair won't stop you in your tracks as hair is automatically lifted from the brush as you clean. Make sure you check out our Dyson Black Friday deals round-up to see if other models are on offer right now.<\/p>\n Toothbrushes should be changed around every 3 months, so if you\u2019ve not got an electric toothbrush or it is nearing that 3-month period, saving \u00a3165 on a top-end electric toothbrush sounds like an excellent option.<\/p>\n The iO4 claims to be Oral-B\u2019s best-ever clean, so you can keep those pure whites pristine and plaque and stains at bay.<\/p>\n Brushing your teeth used to be a simple task, but who wouldn't want four extra brushing modes that focus more on daily cleaning, whitening, and sensitive and super sensitive teeth for the best possible results?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a history of being a bit heavy-handed when it comes to teeth brushing, you\u2019ll benefit greatly from the smart pressure sensor that signals red when you\u2019re being a bit too rough with your precious chompers.<\/p>\n Black Friday is the absolute prime opportunity to pick up a mattress for a lot less than usual, especially from one of the 'bed-in-a-box' brands that have come to dominate the market in the last decade.<\/p>\n Simba is currently offering an impressive 40% across its range of Hybrid Original mattresses, which use a combination of pocket springs and memory. If you're still weighing up your options, see what else the brand is offering on our Simba Black Friday deals article.<\/p>\n If you have an Android yourself or you\u2019re still searching for that perfect gift, you can save \u00a3100 on the perfect addition to any Samsung eco-system.<\/p>\n The Samsung watch comes with all the bells and whistles you\u2019d expect from a high-end smartwatch.<\/p>\n Fan of hikes or long walks in the park? You\u2019ll be making the most out of its GPS functions, so you never get lost again.<\/p>\n It tracks your activity levels to help you reach your goals, be it on land or in water as it is water resistant, so it\u2019s also perfect for seeing how much you\u2019ve improved on your breaststroke.<\/p>\n With a flawless five-star rating on AO, you can be certain it\u2019s the perfect gift or treat, as reviewers called it an \u2018absolutely fantastic smart watch\u2019 that \u2018does exactly what [they] wanted and more.<\/p>\n We've got more live deals from the tech giant on our Samsung Black Friday deals article.<\/p>\n Boots was one of a number of retailers who blind-sided us by launching their Black Friday sales at the beginning of November.<\/p>\n We've seen a number of major fragrance brands appear on sale on the Boots website, and the Daisy eau de toilette has been given an impressive 40% price drop.<\/p>\n Visit our Boots Black Friday deals page for more offers from the high-street store.<\/p>\n John Lewis was another retailer we saw roll out a wave of early-bird Black Friday deals on 1st November, with fragrances among the most notable price drops.<\/p>\n This scent from Tom Ford – inspired, apparently, by gentleman's clubs – has been given a more-than-welcome 20% discount and will stay at this price until the far side of Black Friday itself. Buy it while it's in stock.<\/p>\n Head to our John Lewis Black Friday deals round-up to see what else is on offer from the store.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been shopping around for the best deals on streaming services, it's definitely worth a look at this Sky Stream Black Friday deal.<\/p>\n While a price cut of \u00a37 might not look like a lot at first glance, you\u2019re actually saving a total of \u00a3125 over the entire 18-month contract.<\/p>\n \u00a3125 towards presents sounds great already, but you\u2019re also getting access to over a staggering 30,000 shows from Sky alone and the added bonus of a Netflix subscription so you can keep up to date with all the exclusive movies and shows that hit the living room screen.<\/p>\n Anyone interested in Amazon's audiobook subscription will love this early Black Friday deal, which sees the popular service cheaper than ever.<\/p>\n You'll be able to sign up for the subscription for just \u00a32.99 for 3 months, saving a whopping 60%.<\/p>\n There a thousands of titles to choose across a vast catalog of genres, includig Britney Spears tell all memour, the lastest best-sellers, and new releases. <\/p>\n After the 3 months the service returns to the usual \u00a37.99p\/m, so you'll have plenty of time to sink into an audiobook or two and decide whether it's for you.<\/p>\n You knows all those big-name kitchen appliances you look at enviously, but would never consider buying at full price? Now's the time to take another look.<\/p>\n John Lewis has slashed the cost of this hugely versatile stand mixer from iconic brand KitchenAid by \u00a3150 for Black Friday – this would make an absolute show-stopper of a Christmas gift for any avid bakers out there.<\/p>\n Boots always wows shoppers with its line of No7 advent calendars: not only they do they make fabulous gifts, but they also offer impressive savings – everything in the Restore & Renew calendar would cost you \u00a3213 if bought separately.<\/p>\n The icing on the cake here comes in the form of a Black Friday deals that offers \u00a35 of Advantage Card points with each purchased calendar.<\/p>\n For some deals-hunting, here's a quick run-down of all the stores with live sales right now.<\/p>\n Black Friday falls on November 24 this year, on the day directly after the American Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n Not that we'll be carving any turkey here in the UK until Christmas.<\/p>\n Black Friday is simply a shopping tradition that started in the U.S. back in the 1960s, before migrating over to the UK around a decade ago.<\/p>\n Each year Black Friday only grows bigger, and it is now considered a global sale event, with thousands of participating brands and retailers.<\/p>\n It's a clear rival to the popular (but arguably dwindling) UK Boxing Day sales period after Christmas, and dwarfs Amazon\u2019s annual Prime Day sale.<\/p>\n Absolutely. We're expecting to see huge discounts on Black Friday 2023 across product lines in multiple sectors – from tech and beauty to homeware, toys and much more.<\/p>\n Based on previous sales, you can expect sales from every last major online seller. Indeed, it's only the beginning of November but we have seen high-street stalwarts like John Lewis, Argos and Boots already roll out the Black Friday messaging.<\/p>\n On top of that, countless brands will also launch site sales.<\/p>\n Keep checking back: we'll bring you all the latest deals here as soon as we have them.<\/p>\n Black Friday has become synonymous with tech savings, and shoppers can expect deals on popular brands like Apple, Samsung, Fitbit and more during the sale.<\/p>\n You can also expect incredible savings on other categories such as baby, beauty and fashion too.<\/p>\n Based on last year's highlights, our guess is that mattresses will make a major appearance in Black Friday, with discounts running at anywhere between 30% and 60%.<\/p>\n If you're after an Echo Dot, Ring Doorbell or any of Amazon's cheap-and-cheerful smart devices, they'll almost definitely be absurdly cheap too.<\/p>\n Big-brand appliances that rarely go on sale will get their moment in the limelight too. <\/p>\n Don't go thinking it's just flash, high-spend items that are included in the sale.<\/p>\n During Black Friday, a quick peruse on Amazon will throw up all sorts of discounts on everyday products like dishwasher tablets and boxes of Quality Street.<\/p>\n The incredible deals in 2022 included:<\/p>\n Cyber Monday always falls on the Monday directly after Black Friday. So in 2023, that date is: Monday, November 27.<\/p>\n It has the (slightly antiquated) name, as traditionally it was a day of online-only deals, with nearly all Black Friday offers available exclusively in-store.<\/p>\n However, it's now rare that you'll find any deals only available in shops.<\/p>\n So in reality, Cyber Monday is an excuse for retailers to roll out a final wave of deals, or to drop prices further on remaining stock.<\/p>\n Historically, Black Friday and Cyber Monday were two very distinct, very separate sales.<\/p>\n On Black Friday itself, the vast majority of deals were in-store – you know, in those old days before computers and smartphones.<\/p>\n Then, with the advent of internet shopping, Cyber Monday emerged as a day of online-only deals.<\/p>\n However, these days there's no real difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday as very few deals are either exclusively in-store or online (unless of course it's an online-only seller).<\/p>\n Shoppers can maximise savings during Black Friday by using the\u00a0Sun Vouchers website\u00a0to check for extra discounts at top retailers.<\/p>\n It's also worth checking cashback sites like TopCashback, which offer money back on any purchases you make at thousands of retailers when you use their site.<\/p>\n Some retailers also offer discounts for NHS workers, students or those who work in the military, so it's worth checking if you're eligible for any of those.<\/p>\n Not on Black Friday itself, that's for sure.<\/p>\n Traditionally Black Friday sales began at midnight, but over the last few years many retailers have chosen to begin their sales even earlier.<\/p>\n In fact, it's likely we'll see some noteworthy offers start to appear as early as the beginning of November (indeed, some phone retailers roll out 'Why Wait?'-themed sales in October).<\/p>\n However, the best is generally saved for last, with the finest offers usually not being launched until the week of Black Friday itself – so keep your eyes peel from about Monday November 21 onwards.<\/p>\n Don't think for a second that Black Friday is a day-long sale, or indeed even a days-long sale.<\/p>\n In reality, Black Friday 2023 will likely span the entire month of November, so don't put off your deal-hunting until the big day itself.<\/p>\n This is a hugely competitive time for retailers, so each year they kick off their sales earlier and earlier in an effort to outdo each other.<\/p>\n In previous years Boots, Amazon and John Lewis, along with a number of other major retailers, launched their deals a fortnight earlier than the official date.<\/p>\n Whether you plan to head to your favourite shops or sit on your sofa and browse online, it's best to stay up to date with all the latest deals from key retailers by following this guide.<\/p>\n You can also sign up to retailer newsletters and follow key stores on social media to get important announcements and sale previews.<\/p>\n Most Black Friday sales will come to end on Cyber Monday, which in 2023 falls on November 27.<\/p>\n Cyber Monday is traditionally an online only sale for retailers to slash prices ahead of the festive season.<\/p>\n Originally just a marketing ploy, the event has now become a final opportunity to pick up savings on coveted items without the Black Friday chaos previously witnessed in stores during Black Fridays of yesteryear.<\/p>\n The term Black Friday, regrettably, has some pretty unsavoury origins.<\/p>\n The term "Black Friday" was first used by Philadelphia police in America, back in the 1950s, to describe heavy traffic on the day after Thanksgiving as people began their Christmas shopping.<\/p>\n The name caught on and sparked a tradition in retail.<\/p>\n It became a big deal in the UK when Amazon introduced Black Friday as a sales day in 2010. Other retailers, like Asda, soon got in on the action.<\/p>\n And, as online shopping became increasingly popular, Black Friday was joined by Cyber Monday, extending the sales period and introducing great digital-only savings for shoppers.<\/p>\n Black Friday is a great time to purchase a wide range of items, across all categories.<\/p>\n But to really understand whether you are getting a good deal we advise shoppers to check price comparison sites to find the lowest price a product has been recently marked down to.<\/p>\n If you see a deal during Black Friday that's cheaper than the guide price listed on the comparison website, you can be fairly confident you're getting a good saving.<\/p>\n Read our guide to find out the\u00a0key differences between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and which day is best for discounts.<\/p>\n Prime Day is just limited to the online retailer, while Black Friday offers competitive deals from numerous shops and sites. And the former is strictly limited to Prime customers.<\/p>\n However, there are big savings to be had on Prime Day, particularly on the company's own lines of products – such as Echo Dot, Kindle and Fire Stick. Prime Day generally edges out Black Friday on tech deals overall.<\/p>\n But Black Friday is generally top for a range of other items, including homeware. It's also better positioned for you to take advantage of big savings when it comes to Christmas shopping.<\/p>\n Absolutely – in fact, our advice is to sign up now to TopCashback if you haven't already.<\/p>\n The savings site is a very simple, very convenient way of saving cash on online purchases from a huge array of retailers.<\/p>\n In general, you can claim back anywhere between 2% and 10% on your spend – and trust us, those amounts add up in the longer term.<\/p>\n Better still, TopCashback is offering new members a bonus \u00a310 payout on their first \u00a310+ spend – in these financially stressful times, who can argue with that?<\/p>\n Absolutely! Black Friday is now a well-established annual tradition, with all the leading retailers and brands taking part.<\/p>\n However, you should still exercise caution. Always remember that if a deal looks too good to be true, and you're not sure about the source, you should think twice before handing over your money.<\/p>\n We'll recommend all the best bargains on our Black Friday pages, so do have a read for inspiration.<\/p>\n We're not sure yet if the streaming service will offer any deals, unfortunately. <\/p>\n But you can almost certainly find great free trials and bundle deals on the Disney+ website – so if you've been thinking about subscribing, Black Friday is definitely a good time to do it.<\/p>\n Here are some of our top shopping tips for getting the best deals in this year's biggest sales events:<\/p>\n There are a number of UK stores that promise to price-match and you can be sure they'll all be saying as much when the Black Friday event comes around.<\/p>\n Retailers including Currys, Boots, AO, Halfords, Wickes and Tesco all promise to refund the difference in a product if you find it cheaper elsewhere.<\/p>\n Notice one name conspicuous by its absence in the list above?<\/p>\n In a controversial move, high-street stalwart John Lewis ditched its price match policy in February 2022 .<\/p>\n That's something to keep in mind if you find yourself shopping in the John Lewis Black Friday sale.<\/p>\n Sun Vouchers is your one-stop shop for every deal and discount code currently available from your favourite online retailers. Don\u2019t click \u2018buy\u2019 until you\u2019ve checked Sun Vouchers for a discount code to apply to your basket.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>MAKE-UP SHAKE-UP <\/span><\/p>\n
