With less than two weeks to go until Black Friday’s main event, we’re already seeing hundreds of early deals from major brands and retailers, including Currys, Argos, Boots, Shark and more, so you can start your shopping right away.

Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop, or invest in a new mattress, the team has been compiling the most impressive deals so far on every product category imaginable in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for a real-time stream of discounts and news, our liveblog has you covered.

The Black Friday sales could save you cash on a TV, toys, jewellery and furniture, but the steepest discounts aren’t necessarily the best deals. The most impressive discounts 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, Samsung has started its sale, Ghd is offering up to 25 per cent off everything, Oodie has 50 per cent off blanket hoodies and Dyson is offering hundreds of pounds off its products. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at Boots, Currys, Argos, Lookfantastic and more, in what some are calling their biggest Black Friday sale ever.

We’ve been covering the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales for years here at IndyBest, so, we know how to spot a good deal from a dud. If it’s got a decent discount (and it’s worth your money), you’ll find it here.

Save £100 on this Samsung the frame TV this Black Friday

Sticking with Samsung, I’m absolutely in love with its range of “the frame” TVs, and if you’re looking for an upgrade, it’s a brilliant choice now that it’s on sale at John Lewis.

Basically a piece of wall art, the Samsung “frame” TVs blend into your home decor, not disrupting your environment. It’s designed to look just like a photo frame, and so when you’re not watching, it transforms into artwork. The glare-free 4k QLED matte display helps with the subtle facade, and the picture is powered by Quantum Dot technoloy. A great TV with great picture quality.

Save a huge £100 on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic

If you’re looking for some new tech this Black Friday, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Classic is a great choice. With a classy design, it’s the best smartwatch for Android users, and it’s currently on sale at Currys.

The Samsung Galaxy watch 6 features in my review of the best smartwatches, where I called it the “the best Android smartwatch for Samsung users”. This deal on the classic edition of the watch, which is the same but larger and with a rotating bezel, has £100 off at Currys.

What other Dyson Black Friday deals are there?

If you want even more Dyson deals, Lois is currently rounding up the best savings in her article below. Her cueated list of the best savings include the Dyson air-purifying heater that doubles up as a fan (a beastly three-in-one machine), discounts on Dyson vacuums and even a discount on the Dyson supersonic hairdryer. What more could you want?

Are there any Dyson airwrap Black Friday deals?

While I’m still waiting for those coveted Dyson airwrap deals to float to the surface, other cult Dyson hair tools have already been reduced in Boots’ early Black Friday sale, including the airstraight.

True to its name, the airstrait takes your hair from wet to styled using air rather than heat, reducing the possibility of damage. When IndyBest editor Eva got her hands on the tool, she likened it to the way her hair looks after a hairdresser blowdries it into a straight style. It also made her “thick, weighty locks feel light and healthy”, and the finish was “much more natural”. You can currently save £100 on the gadget this Black Friday.

What other Huda Beauty deals will drop this Black Friday?

Look, beauty buffs know all the benefits of the brand, but it’s the price that stops people from going all in. The Independent’s beauty writer is rounding up her predictions for the sale in her article below. And last year, she saw Huda Beauty’s best-selling blush reduced to less than £10. That’s over 70 per cent off the usual price. For more of the best early beauty Black Friday buys, have a read of Lucy’s article below:

This Huda Beauty eyeshadow palette has 25% off

Huda Beauty fans, your time has come. While the brand itself hasn’t yet kicked off its Black Friday sale, Boots has! The retailer has just discounted one of its wildly popular eyeshadow palettes by a huge 25 per cent.

Assistant IndyBest editor Sarah Jones has just informed me about this irresistible deal on the brand’s pretty grunge eyeshadow palette. A cult brand for a reason, Huda Beauty’s formulas are the clincher. “The pigmentation and true-to-pan finish makes it an ultimate winner,” beauty writer Tara said in her review.

When is Black Friday 2024?

While there are a host of Black Friday deals already live, with tens of retailers kicking off the action early, most won’t start their Black Friday deals until the week of Black Friday itself.

This year, the week of Black Friday starts on 25 November 2024. The actual Black Friday sale then starts officially on 29 November, with all the discounts concluding on Cyber Monday on 2 December. It’s a whirlwind of a month for bargain hunters, and the team and I will be here throughout the whole thing to walk you through the best savings.

Here’s how to get Amazon Audible for just 99p per month

Amazon Audible is home to thousands of audio titles, from novels and memoirs to original podcasts. Whether I’m walking the dog or washing up, Audible audiobooks are my soundtrack. Now, you can get three months for just 99p per month.

Audiobook subscription service Audible is currently 99p per month for three months for Amazon Prime subscribers who’ve never had Audible before (or haven’t been a member in the past 12 months). You can listen to thousands of select Audible Originals, podcasts, and audiobooks. Once your trial period comes to an end, an Audible subscription will cost £7.99 each month, which will pay for one audiobook (each month) as well as the above. The offer will end on 21 January 2025, so, you’ve still got plenty of time to subscribe, even after Black Friday ends.
