Black Friday 2024 kicks off in less than a week, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already kicked off their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier joining this weekend.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team is 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 while Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low. 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.

Save up to 25% on ghd, including its OG styler

Ghd is something of a hair tool legend, and if you’re looking to save on some of its covetable stylers, straighteners and hair products, then you’re in luck. Now that the brand’s Friday sale is live, you can save on everything from its cordless straighteners (was £299, now £199, Ghd.com), to the OG hair straightener, which is still the best, landing the top spot  review of the best hair straighteners.

In her review, Maisie named the original hair styler the best overall. “I have sworn by ghd’s original styler straighteners ever since they launched in 2001, and though they have undergone some slight modifications over the years, it’s safe to say these straighteners are durable, stand the test of time, hold a style in place for hours, even in humid weather, and are therefore my go-to top pick.”
