Black Friday 2024 kicks off in less than a week, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already kicked off their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier joining this weekend.
Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team is compiling hundreds of deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for real-time updates on discounts and news as it drops, our liveblog has you covered.
But, whether you’re after a TV, toys, jewellery or furniture, the biggest price drops aren’t necessarily the most impressive. The best, genuine deals 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, Dyson’s Black Friday sale has discounted the cultairwrap, Sony has discounted the price of the PS5 Slim to an all-time low and Pandora has just launched its sale with up to 30 per cent off jewellery. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at John Lewis, Argos, Lookfantastic and more. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Black Friday sales ever.

Reviewing the scent in our round-up of the best perfumes for women, our tester said “it combines white violet and jasmine for a flowery fragrance, berries for sweetness and sandalwood to make it seem deeper and warmer, it has a little bit of everything while still staying nice and light”.

Pandora’s dazzling Black Friday sale is finally here
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.

Will Ugg have a Black Friday 2024 sale?
Whether you love them or wish they’d been left in the Noughties, there’s no denying the resurgence of Uggs – and the brand’s Black Friday sale is one of the most anticipated.
With Ugg styles costing anywhere between £90 to £165, its Black Friday sale is your best chance to score a pair for (a lot) less. From dates to the deals to expect, here’s everything you need to know about Ugg’s Black Friday 2024 sale.
While the main event is expected to kick off on Friday 29 November, if previous years are anything to go by, I’m expecting early offers to drop for subscribers (so make you sure you sign up ahead of time). The sale typically ends on Cyber Monday, so you can expect to have four days to shop the sale.
From slippers to platform boots, I’ve rounded up some early Ugg deals below:

Save 30% on Le Creuset for Black Friday
French brand Le Creuset’s cast iron casserole dish has taken on family-heirloom status in many people’s homes, but cookware like this doesn’t come cheap (no wonder there were four hour queues at the brand’s recent warehouse sale).
So, don’t miss this discount on Le Creuset’s casserole dish thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday event.
Le Creuset enamelled cast iron round casserole dish: Was £209, now £178, Amazon.co.uk
Discounted by nearly 30 per cent in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale, the dish is suitable for one-pot meals and can be used on any cooking surface. In their review, Rachael said: “It was perfect for making slow-roasted dishes such as casseroles, but we also whipped up a loaf of bread, which cooked evenly and with a nice, crispy crust.” Available in a number of colourways, the cerise shade currently has the lowest price point.

A rare saving on an Apple Watch series 10
Released just two months ago, the all-new Apple Watch series 10 has already been discounted by £20 at Amazon – but I don’t think it will stay in stock for long.
“While at first glance it looks similar to the series 9, the bigger display, thinner profile and handsome new colours make the series 10 a lot more appealing,” The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan said in his review. “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.”
