Known as the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday provides discounts on tech, fashion, beauty, and homeware essentials within a 24-hour window.
Navigating through the best products within a tight timeframe can be overwhelming; however, our writers have handpicked the best deals from brands our readers love. From the best fashion and beauty to the best heating solutions this winter, furniture, and technology, this list covers a wide range of what Black Friday offers.
Our picks detailed below include tech giant Apple, snug and cosy fashion brand Oodie as well as high-street favourites such as M&S, Debenhams and Boots. Many brands are offering big discounts so today could be a great time to save on a wide range of great products.
Oodie
Oodie has unveiled an impressive Black Friday event, cutting prices by 50% across its entire website. The sale includes a full range of products, such as hoodies, outerwear, and onesies. The Oodie Original, the brand’s crowd-pleaser, is reduced to a mere £32.50 during the promotion.
If you’re looking for something other than a cosy, fleece-lined hoodie, Oodie offers a variety of items. The Sleep Tee, featuring a charming dachshund print, which you can find here, is currently reduced to £22.50.

Apple
Finding a deal with Apple isn’t easy, but that’s all changed thanks to the big Black Friday sales. However, Apple does things a little differently, reported the Express. Rather than reducing prices, the tech giant is offering free gift cards instead.
For instance, customers will receive a £60 gift card when purchasing certain iPhones or a £160 gift card with the purchase of a MacBook. There’s also a £40 gift card available with Apple Watches and an £80 Apple Gift Card on offer when buying an iPad. You can also see all the offers at Apple’s online store.
Elsewhere, Very is has slashed the price of MacBook Air (M3, 2024) to £849, down from £1099. Amazon is offering the Apple iPhone 13 (128GB) – Midnight for £441 but was £499. You can also save money on AirPods (4th Generation) with USB-C Charging Case, 2024 at John Lewis.
Debenhams
Debenhams is slashing up to 80% off across its major products including jewellery, beauty and furniture. Our favourite deal is the unbelievable £2,995 diamond-studded stainless steel timepiece which has been reduced to 92% off. The GV2 Turin Diamond Swiss Quartz White MOP Dial is currently on sale for £295.
The retailer is also offering a massive 70% off on popular beauty items ahead of Black Friday and Christmas. The SkinChemists professional Wrinkle Killer Instant Face Lift Serum stands out as a great deal. Originally priced at £159, it’s now down to just £21.58 for the huge Black Friday event, offering customers a savings of around £137.
The site offers a massive discount on furniture. This classy Armchair Swivel Upholstered Accent Chair for the Living Room or bedroom is £69.99, down from £104.99. Another mega deal is this 5-tier Regin Wood Corner Bookcase, which is now £52.94, down from £200.
