Black Friday 2024 live: Best deals so far, from Dyson’s airwrap to Hotel Chocolat’s velvetiser

It’s cold – very cold – so, why not grab yourself an Oodie (an extremely cosy upgrade from your regular hoodie) to keep the chill at bay? Happily, the OG blanket hoodie brand has launched its Black Friday sale, with 50 per cent off.

Oodie’s hoodie received high praise in IndyBest’s review of the best blanket hoodies, with the oversized hoodie found to be “very oversized, cocooning our 6ft tester down to the knees”. With a hood and a front pouch, the hoodie also features a super-soft sherpa fleece lining. “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,” said our reviewer.

Praised for its low price and effective cleaning power, the brush is noisier than the premium iO range but cleans just as well, according to our tester. “This budget-friendly electric toothbrush might lack the bells and whistles of its pricier iO siblings, but the oscillating head still delivers a reliably thorough clean.”
