Black Friday 2024 live: £50 off Dyson supersonic, PlayStation discounts and more
Brands and retailers are kicking off their Black Friday sales early, with deals on ghd, Ninja and more
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. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at Boots, Currys, Argos, Lookfantastic and more. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Black Friday sales ever.

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.
The best Pandora Black Friday deals to expect
The annual sale has previously treated Pandora fans to up to 30 per cent off the brand’s cult charms from the ‘moments’ collection, as well as pendant necklaces, rings, studs and more. Even better, the sale is perfectly timed for Christmas gift shopping. Daisy’s rounding up everything you need to know about Pandora Black Friday in her article below:

Save 14% on these Pandora rings this Black Friday
Daisy loves Pandora here at IndyBest. Sitting in the mid-range price point of the market, Pandora’s jewellery is more accessible than some other jewellery brands, and often even more so during Black Friday.
Pandora moon and sun ring set: Was £105, now £90, Pandora.net
You don’t have to wait until Black Friday for a Pandora deal, with the jewellery brand slashing the price of this viral duo by £15. Hailing from Pandora’s popular Moments collection, the celestial blue sparkling moon ring is crafted from sterling silver with a crescent moon motif at the centre. Filled with deep blue pavé, the style is complete with sparkling stars. Designed for stacking or mixing up your metals day to day, there’s also a 14k gold-plated celestial sparkling sun ring included in the set, and the two rings complement one another perfectly.
Does Apple do Black Friday sales?
Kind of, but not really. While Apple doesn’t really take part in sales such as Black Friday, Apple always offers up gift cards in exchange for a purchase during the four-day Black Friday sale. Apple announced its Black Friday gift card perks on 17 November last year – five days before Black Friday.
To give you a flavour of what to expect, here’s what Apple was offering up last year:
If you bought a Mac or Mac Mini, Apple offered up a gift card worth up to £160. An iPhone 14, 13 or SE resulted in a gift card up to £60. An iPad Pro, iPad Air, a 10th generation iPad or an iPad Mini secured you a gift card worth up to £80, while the purchase of an Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Watch SE got you a gift card worth up to £40. Anyone who bought the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 3rd gen or AirPods Max landed gift cards worth up to £60.
If you wanted a discount on the Apple product you were about to buy, instead of a future purchase, shoppers had to turn to third-party retailers. Luckily, there are already a bunch of Apple devices on sale this year. I’m rounding up all the best savings below:

Save on this PS5 controller this Black Friday
The annoying thing about consoles these days is that they only come with one controller out of the box, including the PS5 Pro and OG PS5. That’s why I’m always looking out for the deals on the DualSense controller.
PS5 DualSense controller: Was £64.99, now £54.95, Very.co.uk
Rarely ever on sale, there’s a £10 discount on the PS5 DualSense controller at Very. It has a comfortable ergonomic fit that moulds around your hands nicely, no matter what sized hands you have, and its buttons feel sleek and high-end,” said gaming writer Jennifer Allen in her review. “Besides looking and feeling good, it also has some useful features such as haptic feedback and a set of trigger buttons that are much more responsive and tactile than previous PlayStation controllers.”
These are the best discounts on toys this Black Friday
Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, one and all. Black Friday is the best time to find new and popular kids’ toys at a discount.

Toniebox Black Friday deals 2024
As a newly-minted uncle, I love the Toniebox because it puts my nephew to sleep whenever I’m on baby duties. Obviously, that’s not the only reason. It’s just a brilliant audio player that’s also fun because of its collectable figurines. A toy that grows as your kid ages, it’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Toniebox starter set: Was £79.95, now £69.99, Currys.co.uk
It’s not a mega saving but discounts on the Toniebox are rare. Right now, you can snap up this starter set, which includes a Toniebox and a figurine, with £10 off. One of the top toys that’s always on my radar at IndyBest, the Toniebox has featured in several of the team’s gift guides for children, including the best gifts for 2-year-olds and 4-year-olds.
