Black Friday 2024 officially starts on 29 November, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already begun their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier having joined the action last week.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team are compiling hundreds of deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for real-time updates on discounts and news as it drops, our liveblog has you covered.

But, whether you’re after a TV, toys, jewellery or furniture, the biggest price drops aren’t necessarily the most impressive. The best, genuine deals are those on products that are actually worth your money, so we’ll make sure to bring you offers on items we’ve tested ourselves.

So far, Dyson’s Black Friday sale has discounted the cultairwrap, Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low and Pandora has just launched its sale with up to 30 per cent off jewellery. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at John Lewis, Argos, Lookfantastic and more. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Black Friday sales ever.

Oodie’s blanket hoodies are half price for Black Friday

Blanket hoodies are one of winter’s hottest buys – and one brand in particular dominates the market: Oodie. Luckily, if you’re looking to save on one of its coveted wearable throws, the brand has just announced the return of its mega Black Friday event, where you can save 50 per cent on its blanket hoodies.

“Large enough to curl beneath it on the sofa but still sufficiently fitted and lightweight to move around the house while working from home, the Oodie will be a saviour when temperatures plummet,” I said in my review of the cult Oodie. My only gripe was its not-so-pocket-friendly price, making this 50 per cent saving especially appealing.

A cult buy, Dyson’s airwrap complete model is on sale with £80 off at Boots, John Lewis, Currys, Argos and Very. The tool comes with six attachments for optimum when styling, whether you’re creating super sleek looks or a bouncy blowout.

“Despite looking complex, using it was super simple and straightforward,” Lucy said in her review. “It dried and smoothed hair quickly and easily, with minimal effort needed. And the round brush was also a welcome addition here too, as our tester loved using it to dry her hair for a blowdry-esque finish – this is something that she would usually have to use a hairdryer and straighteners to achieve,” she added.

Listen up: These are the headphones deals to know

Whether you’re after a pair of noise-cancelling headphones for your commute or a set of workout earbuds, Black Friday is the best time to upgrade your cans for less.

Sony’s latest wireless earbuds are 27 per cent off at Amazon. They reign supreme in our round-up of the best wireless earbuds, and our tester was impressed by the noise-cancellation and sound quality. The WF-1000XM5 have “a level of deft clarity and forensic detail that makes every part of the music soar, from vocals to mid-range and bass,” they noted.
