With less than two weeks to go until Black Friday’s main event, hundreds of early deals are dropping from major brands and retailers, including Currys, Argos, Debenhams, 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 IndyBest team has been compiling hundreds of impressive deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for real-time updates on discounts and news as it drops, 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.

Best Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday deals 2024
The Charlotte Tilbury Black Friday sale is officially live! The brand is continuing to slash prices on all its top products between now and Black Friday, and Lucy’s got all the details. She’s spotted this saving on a tried and tested soft radiance kit.

Lucy says that if you prefer subtle coverage, then the Hollywood flawless filter is just the ticket for you – it sits between a foundation and a primer. In her review, she found that the “feather-light” formula lets “her real skin shine through while concealing any sun spots or redness, and delivering a serious glow”. But this kit also comes with the brand’s concealer and the airbrush flawless foundation, both of which are hero products that are worth investing in, especially when they’re so heavily reduced.

Best perfume Black Friday deals
While Jo Malone hasn’t kicked off its Black Friday sale just yet, there are already plenty of perfume deals to be scooped up this Black Friday. The Independent’s beauty writer Lucy Smith has been sourcing the best in her article below. The standout deal right now is from Sephora.
Dior J’adore eau de parfum, 50ml: Was £104, now £82.45, Sephora.co.uk
Included in beauty writer Lauren’s round-up of the best fragrances for women, this is a classic Dior scent described as being “timeless”. The perfume combines floral notes of ylang-ylang, damask rose essence and jasmine sambac. “It’s soft, sweet and typically feminine yet not overpowering in any way,” she wrote in her review. As it’s an eau de parfum, only a few spritzes are needed, which means this discounted bottle should last you a while.

There’s a £70 discount on the Sonos Beam
If you’re looking to elevate the sound of your TV this Black Friday, you’re going to want to invest in a soundbar. My favourite all-in-one soundbars are from Sonos, and right now Amazon has slashed the price of the Sonos Beam.
Sonos Beam, gen 2: Was £449, now £379.99, Amazon.co.uk
I absolutely adored the Sonos Beam gen 2 when I reviewed it a couple years ago. In my review, I said that it was “an excellent compact soundbar that sweeps the floor with its competition”, adding that the “virtual Dolby Atmos just gives this whole speaker system more depth, more warmth and a bigger soundscape”. Now with £70 off, it’s even more affordable.
Get free gifts with Jo Malone’s early Black Friday deals
Jo Malone hasn’t quite started its Black Friday deals just yet, but the brand is currently offering up free gifts when you buy one of its perfumes or fragrances.
If you spend over £130, Jo Malone will give you a complimentary full-sized body and hand wash, and if you spend over over £190, you’ll also get a orange bitters travel candle and limited-edition stocking.
If you’re just looking for deals, however, last year, Jo Malone’s Black Friday bonanza began on the day of Black Friday itself, so you might have to wait a couple more weeks if it follows the same pattern.
We’ve received an early sneak peek at Pandora’s Black Friday deals
Pandora fans, I come bearing good news. The Independent’s Daisy Lester has just received an exclusive sneak peek at the jewellery brand’s upcoming Black Friday deals, and they’re pretty mega.
For 2024, Pandora is offering up to 30 per cent off selected items across its various lines. You’ll be able to save 20 per cent on the TikTok-viral glow-in-the-dark firefly dangle charm (£60, Pandora.net) and timeless pave Cuban chain bracelet (£170, Pandora.net), as well as 20 per cent off 14-carat gold pieces in the Pandora essence line.
It all kicks off on Sunday 24 November and ends on Monday 2 December. There’s even a sneaky way to get early access. Daisy’s got all the details in her article below:

Save £50 on the Dyson supersonic hairdryer this Black Friday
If you’re looking for that salon-like blow-dry, then Dyson’s supersonic is the cult beauty tool you need in your arsenal. Dyson’s kicked off its savings bonanza, and it’s already discounted the hairdryer by £50.
Dyson supersonic hair dryer nickel/copper: Was £329.99, now £279.99, Dyson.co.uk
Beauty writer Lauren is absolutely obsessed with the Dyson supersonic. In her review, she gushed about the device’s compact size, and praised it for being really easy to use. “It delivers a real punch of power for fast drying times,” she added.
The AirPods 3 have sold out, but here’s an AirPods 4 deal
Yesterday, a discount from John Lewis on the AirPods 3 was my deal of the day. Proving popular, it seems as if the coveted buds have now completely sold out.
If you missed out, and are looking for new AirPods, Amazon’s got a small £10 deal that you might want to pick up. It’s small, sure, but the AirPods 4 are only a couple of months old, and they’re much better than the AirPods 3. Mollie’s got all the details in her article below:

More deals coming up soon
That’s me done for another day of Black Friday deal hunting. I’ll be back online again tomorrow morning to walk you through even more deals. I’m expecting even more retailers to start dropping discounts from tomorrow – this is the week when deals really start ramping up, so keep a close eye on the blog. I’ll be with you all day.

Save over £100 on this electric toothbrush at Currys
If you’re looking to upgrade your oral hygiene and jump on the electric toothbrush bandwagon, you can currently save over £100 on this Oral-B brusher at Currys.
Oral-B iO3: Was £159.99, now £49.99, Currys.co.uk
Featuring in Steve’s review of the best electric toothbrushes, the Oral-B iO3 is the cheapest brush in Oral-B’s premium iO range. Because it uses the same quiet oscillating motor as the rest of the iO series, you effectively get the same great cleaning performance for much less. So what’s the catch? You get fewer brushing modes, a shorter battery life, no LED screen and no gimmicky smart features. It’s down to £49.99 at Currys.
