Now available with a whopping £180 discount, the Arc premium smart sound bar was the winner in our review of the best soundbars. Described by our reviewer as “a beast of a soundbar, in both size and sound”, it comes with 11 digital amplifiers which “fire out in all directions, for a completely immersive Dolby Atmos experience”.

Boots is describing its Black Friday sale as its biggest ever, with up to 25 per cent off fragrances, 50 per cent off No7, better-than-half price Oral-B dental care products, and up to £150 off Dyson hair tools. Over in our shopping guide, our beauty writer, Lucy, has the best deals and offers on Lancôme, Braun, CeraVe and more.

With pevious Pandora sales seeing up to 30 per cent off almost everything, this year’s Black Friday event is certainly one for Pandora fans to bookmark. While it’s yet to be confirmed when the sale will begin, the brand normally launches its offers on the Thursday before Black Friday’s main event. That said, in 2023, subscribers could snap up early Black Friday deals from Monday 20 November.

After a shiny new TV? Black Friday serves at the perfect opportunity to save on top 4K and OLED sets. Samsung has launched its early Black Friday deals, and you can grab savings from third-party retailers too, from Argos to AO.

Steve, one of our resident tech experts, has been overseeing our Black Friday TV shopping guide, where he’s been popping the best early deals. Case in point, here’s a £300 saving on one from LG.

The latest model in the C series of LG TVs gets a £300 discount in the Currys Black Friday sale. Launched earlier this year, the LG C4 is an impressive 4K display with self-lit OLED pixels capable of perfectly dark blacks, bright highlights and rich colour reproduction. If you’re after something smaller there’s a £400 discount on the 48in model too, as well as savings on the larger sets.

The Apple Watch series 10 is the best Apple Watch yet, according to our tech writer David Phelan. Here’s a Black Friday deal at Very, which will save you a modest £20 on the new wearable.

In his review, David said: “While at first glance it looks similar to series 9, the bigger display, thinner profile and handsome new colours make the series 10 a lot more appealing”. He added: “The features that have defined the Apple Watch, from subtle notifications, brilliant mapping capabilities on your wrist and above all, great health features, are all at their best here.”

Dyson’s Black Friday sale is well underway, where you can already save up to £150 on its vacuum cleaners, hair tools and air purifying appliances. There are lots of discounts on the Dyson site, but major retailers are also on our radar (Currys, Argos, Amazon, we’re looking at you). For top deals on products the team has tested, take a look at my shopping guide.

The Ordinary doesn’t officially take part in Black Friday, even going so far as to close its doors during the sale to remind us to “shop slowly” and avoid waste.

In a classic case of having its peptide serum and applying it, however, the skincare brand is still discounting a huge range of its best-selling products by 23 per cent for the month of November.

While I appreciate The Ordinary’s sentiment surrounding the Black Friday mayhem, I also like saving money on hyaluronic acid.

Retailer AO launched its Black Friday deals last week, with discounts now available across its expansive range of TVs, beauty products, home appliances and more.

If you’re one of the dozen people in the UK who doesn’t already own an air fryer, here’s a £30 discount on one we’d recommend.

The 7.6l Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer has the full suite of features you’d expect: like timers telling you when to add food, shake things up and take things out, automatic switch-off, and two cooking zones so everything finishes at the same time. It’s also dishwasher friendly, so you save on washing up too.
