Black Friday weekend will soon come to an end, making way for Cyber Monday (landing on 2 December) – and there are deals up for grabs on everything from tech, TVs, laptops and gaming gear to mattresses, beauty and air fryers.
Whatever is on your wishlist – be it a Ninja air fryer, Shark cordless vacuum, Simba mattress, Lego set, Charlotte Tilbury products or new Apple AirPods – all the biggest brands and retailers have reduced the price of popular products. And the IndyBest team and I are tracking all of the best deals across the board, including at Boots, Argos, Amazon and Currys.
My personal highlight from the sale so far is an impressive Dyson airwrap saving that sees a like-new version of the hair tool reduced to just £250. Elsewhere though, tech writer Alex is tracking the best deals on Apple products, Xbox and more. Below though, you’ll find the crème de la crème of Black Friday offers (trust me, we’ve been covering the sale for years).

Apple AirPods Pro 2: Was £229, now £179, Amazon.co.uk
The AirPods Pro 2 earbuds offer a “significant improvement over the already-splendid first-generation model,” praised tech critic David Phelan in his review. They’re also significantly better than the recently launched AirPods 4 with noise cancelling (was £179, now £161.10, Amazon.co.uk). Noise-cancelling is twice as good; you get six hours on a single charge, rather than five; there are touch controls on the buds themselves, so you can adjust the volume without having to take your phone out of your pocket, and there’s a MagSafe case with a lanyard loop for easy charging and storage. Now reduced to lowest-ever price.
Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £48, now £28.08, Amazon.co.uk
One of my favourite beauty cleansers, Elemis’s pro-collagen cleansing balm has reached cult status for good reason. While it needs very little introduction, it landed a spot in beauty expert Louise’s review of the best cleansing balms, in which she noted that after she’d removed the product from her face, her skin “felt soft and smooth, with a subtle glow that you often find after having a facial. From start to finish, the experience is a luxurious treat.” I’m sold and adding this straight to my basket.
Apple AirTag, four-pack: Was £119, now £84, Amazon.co.uk
Tech writer Alex flagged this impressive deal on Apple’s AirTags, noting that the trackers haven’t been this cheap in years. “For any iPhone owner prone to losing things, investing in a pack of four might be one of the best decisions you ever make,” he wrote in his review of the best key finders. “Precision tracking works wonderfully well when you can get a signal, and the fact it’s powered by removable batteries is a real bonus, in our eyes.”
Playstation 5: Was £479.99, now £399, Amazon.co.uk
The PS5 has been reduced to its lowest-ever price in Amazon’s Black Friday sale – so if you’re shopping for a gamer this Christmas, now’s the time to buy. I predict this will sell out fast. When resident tech expert Steve reviewed it, he said that it “packs a serious punch, with performance and graphics rivalling a mid- to high-end gaming PC”. Run, don’t walk.
Lumie task: Was £249, now £199, Amazon.co.uk
Currently slashed in price by £50, Lumie’s task lamp was rated the best overall in IndyBest’s review of the best SAD lamps. Reviewer Zoe loved “the sleek design, which is complemented by the slide touch control built into the base, which adjusts the brightness. So, once you’ve got your blast of rays for the day, you can use this model as a regular desk lamp”. Plus, Zoe explained the high-contrast lighting is very high for a domestic lamp, which “means you’ll be seeing true-to-life colours under it”.
Antler soft stripe cabin suitcase: Was £170, now £119, Antler.co.uk
Luggage brand Antler has a great deal running this Black Friday, with 30 per cent off sitewide. Our shopping expert Tamara gave this suitcase the top spot in her review, finding the soft stripe cabin case to be a tardis on wheels with a surprising amount of space. “This suitcase does it all – it’s got a low weight but still has the added extras that are often skipped by brands trying to create feather-light luggage,” Tamara wrote.
Lego ‘Super Mario’: The Mighty Bowser: Was £229, now £172.49, Johnlewis.com
Having sold out repeatedly since launch, this imposing Lego Bowser set is finally back in stock at John Lewis. King Koopa measures one foot tall when completed and features intricately designed moving parts and posable limbs. A technical build for slightly older Mario fans, the Mighty Bowser set comprises more than 2,800 pieces and includes loads of fun details to discover as you build.
Dyson airwrap origin: Was £339.99, now £249, Brandalley.co.uk
The original airwrap boasts three attachments: a 30mm long barrel, a coanda smoothing dryer and round volumising bristle brush. Helping you create super sleek looks using the smoothing dryer, curly styles with the barrel and a volumious bouncy look thanks to the brush, there are endless styling options. The OG airwrap featured in our review of the best hot brushes, with our writer commenting that the original barrel created a “soft, voluminous, light curl”. Above all, our reviewer was impressed that they were able to achieve a “bouncy blow-dry look” in just 15 minutes. I’ve also rounded up more of the best Black Friday airwrap deals, including a like-new model reduced to just £250.
Maybelline New York lash sensational sky high mascara: Was £12.99, now £6.49, Amazon.co.uk
Maybelline’s New York sensational sky high mascara boasts a uniquely designed brush that’s long, thin and densely packed with tiny little plastic bristles. This makes it ideal for getting to hard-to-reach areas and easy to manoeuvre from all angles with minimal mess. Assistant eCommerce editor Sarah reviewed mascara, in which she raved about the tiny bristles that line the wand, which she found “helped comb through each and every lash – yes, even those pesky ones right in the corner”. You can pick it up for nearly half price right now.
Oura gen3 horizon smart ring: Was £299, now £249, Johnlewis.com
“If you’re looking for a sleep tracker, activity tracker or just want to know as much as you can about your body, then the gen 3 Oura ring will tick a lot of your boxes, in one tiny package,” Kat said in her review of the fitness device. With six different coloured rings available (from silver to gold), it’s a more stylish choice than a Fitbit or Garmin. When Kat tested the device out, she was impressed with its battery life and sleep insights, as well as fertility and period tracking. Right now, you can save £50, thanks to John Lewis.
Ninja foodi power blender three-in-one: Was £169, now £128, Appliancesdirect.co.uk
Our pick of the best blenders might be the closest thing there is to having a sous chef without hiring one in the flesh. It has a range of different programs including blend, mix, crush and chop, as well as three different attachments – a 2.1l jug for high-volume jobs, a bowl for nut butters and thick desserts, and a cup for smoothies and shakes. Leaving home appliance tester Zoe “thoroughly impressed”, she said “it did more than I ever knew I wanted a blender to do”. What’s more, “the base will know which cup or bowl you have attached and offer you the right programs for that attachment. Seriously clever”.
Kindle paperwhite: Was £159.99, now £124.99, Amazon.co.uk
Bookworms, you can get the Kindle at its cheapest-ever price right now. Considered the best ereader in our review, The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan praised the device for being “really exceptional (gaining the top spot in this round-up)”. He added: “The front light has also been improved recently, to make it subtler and adjustable in terms of warmth as well as brightness. Like the oasis, the paperwhite is waterproof – it’s able to withstand submersion in 2m of water for up to an hour.”
Olaplex no3: Was £28, now £16.25, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon has discounted a huge number of Olaplex products in its Black Friday sale. Whether you’re in the market for a new hair oil (was £28, now £17.99, Amazon.co.uk), shampoo (was £28, now £16.06, Amazon.co.uk) or hair mask (was £28, now £17.85, Amazon.co.uk), Amazon has you covered. The cult no3 hair protector received rave reviews when eCommerce editor Eva reviewed it – she praised it for working wonders on split ends and making her “hair visibly more shiny”.
iPhone 16 Pro with 500GB: £38.99 per month, £129 up front, Carphonewarehouse.com
Black Friday is arguably the best time of the year to upgrade your phone, particularly when there are deals like this one from iD Mobile at Carphone Warehouse. The 500GB plan (upgraded from 100GB for Black Friday) on the Apple iPhone 16 has you paying £129 up front and then £38.99 per month. That’s a total of £1,064 over the course of the 24-month plan (mid-contract price bumps not included). With the phone costing £999, the deal means you’re paying just £4.57 per month for a 500GB plan. In The Independent’s tech editor’s review of the latest iPhone, Andrew said the “iPhone 16 Pro is a powerhouse of innovative technologies that is due to become even more powerful in the months to come.”
Grind One Nespresso compatible pod machine: Was £295, now £221.25, Grind.co.uk
One of our favourite coffee companies is slashing prices left and right this Black Friday. Grind, the notoriously cool London coffee maker, currently has a 25 per cent discount running site-wide. This means discounts on coffee capsules, glasses, canned coffees, gifts, and, most enticingly, coffee machines. Our caffeine connoisseur Zoe selected the Grind One machine for the top spot in her review of the best coffee machines. Zoe wrote: “This machine wins in looks, durability and quality of coffee and that’s why it’s our best overall.”
Meta Quest 3, 512GB: Was £619.99, now £468.48, Amazon.co.uk
Save a huge 24 per cent on the Meta Quest 3 VR headset in this deal that has just dropped after the release of the Meta Quest 3S. “The Meta Quest 3 is an astounding virtual-reality headset, and is arguably the best consumer VR device currently out there,” our tech writer Alex said in his review. “With full-colour passthrough, a faster processor, a more comfortable and ergonomic fit, as well as better hand tracking and, of course, those sweet, sweet pancake lenses that make everything so much more stable, this is the VR headset to beat.”
KitchenAid artisan mixer: Was £549, now £331.50 Hartsofstur.com
You may have spotted this versatile kitchen appliance while watching this year’s Great British Bake Off. If the show has given you a taste for getting a bit more experimental with baking, then it may be time to invest in a KitchenAid artisan mixer while the deals are still hot. This high-performance mixer is renowned for withstanding heavy ingredients and comes with different accessories to tailor to what you need – and it can all be yours for 36 per cent less.
Shark flexstyle: Was £269.99, now £199.99, Sharkclean.co.uk
This nifty hair tool took the top spot in our guide to the best Dyson airwrap alternatives, with beauty writer Maisie describing it as a “game changer” for her hair routine. “The lightweight, versatile and multifunctional tool made drying and styling a breeze – so much so, we think it is on par with the airwrap, even though it’s £200 cheaper,” she said. Now, the Shark flexstyle is even cheaper, thanks to this Black Friday deal.
Tonies toniebox, red: Was £79.95, now £63.96, Tonies.com
Discounts on children’s brand Tonies are rare, so don’t miss the brand’s massive Black Friday event with 20 per cent off its boxes. The Toniebox has featured in several of our gift guides for children, including the best gifts for 2-year-olds and 4-year-olds. A great option for kids of all ages, it’s essentially an audio player that helps bring music and stories to life. “This versatile audio player has been designed firmly with kids in mind; it’s soft and padded (with no pointy corners), durable and completely intuitive to use,” Sarah said in her review. “Our four-year-old testers were able to skip through songs or chapters and operate the volume controls immediately.”
CeraVe facial moisturising lotion: Was £16.50, now £9.02, Amazon.co.uk
Beauty tester Lauren dubbed this CeraVe lotion as one of the best SPF moisturisers, praising how “it instantly absorbs into the skin, for long-lasting moisture that’s neither sticky nor shiny”. The cream includes hyaluronic acid and glycerin, for all-day hydration, with Lauren adding: “It’s easy to apply and small enough to be popped in a bag.” Now less than £10, investing in this two-in-one formula is a no-brainer.
Oral-B pro 3 electric toothbrush: Was £100, now £35, Amazon.co.uk
Tech writer Steve has tested all of the best electric toothbrushes and he found this one to be the best thanks to its low price and effective cleaning power. It cleans just as well as the premium iO range and he said that his teeth “felt fresh and thoroughly scrubbed, delivering that satisfying ‘just been to the dentist’ sensation”.
Anker power bank: Was £39.99, now £26.99, Amazon.co.uk
There’s nothing more annoying than leaving your house when your phone is about to die. Enter a power bank. Tech writer Alex has tried and tested a whole host of models for his review, and it’s this one that took the top spot. It “will charge your smartphone fast”, he noted and it has a “slimline, lightweight model with a hefty 20,000mAh capacity, meaning we could juice up our iPhone several times while on holiday”.
New Balance 550 trainers: Was £120, now £59.99, Schuh.co.uk
If, like everyone else, you’re a big fan of New Balance’s best-selling 550 trainers, you can get them for as little as half price, whether you’re shopping via New Balance, or footwear retailers, including Footlocker and Schuh. Our reviewer said that, despite “looking quite chunky, they’re not very weighty”, and the “supportive sole and added cushioning on the collar and tongue provided extra comfort”. This deal at Schuh gets you the white and beige colourway for half price, but there are plenty more deals elsewhere on different colourways, too.
The White Company silk hair & skin beauty pillowcase: Was £65, now £52, Thewhitecompany.com
Silk pillowcases have been lauded for their skin and hair benefits, and The White Company’s is one of the best. Beauty writer Helen found the “super soft silk is comfortable to lie on as well as being lightweight”. And, in the morning, she noted that her hair “wasn’t frizzy, and [their] face didn’t have any pillow creases, either”. Thanks to The White Company’s Black Friday sale, you can save 20 per cent on this pillowcase by entering the code “WHITE20”.
The Oodie, black: Was £65, now £32.50, Theoodie.co.uk
The brand’s hoodies were rated highly in our review of the best blanket hoodies, where we found the oversized hoodie to be “very oversized, cocooning our 6ft tester down to the knees”. Complete with a hood, sleeves and practical front pouch, the hoodie is finished in a plush soft-to-touch flannel fleece with sherpa fleece lining the inside. “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 tester. Right now, you can save 50 per cent.
MySweetSmile teeth whitening powder: Was £24.99, now £18.74, Amazon.co.uk

Still an impressively fast machine, the thin, lightweight, 13in laptop is now the cheapest device in the MacBook air range. In tech critic David Phelan’s review of the laptop, he said: “The new MacBook air shines because of its superb light weight and bright display, its great keyboard and fast performance, and its sheer drop-dead glorious design.”
Our Place always pan 2.0: Was £130, now £80, Fromourplace.co.uk
IndyBest writer Lois loved Our Place’s always pan when she tested it – she was impressed with the non-stick abilities and how it’s made from “post-consumer recycled aluminium”. She also liked the “satisfaction from cooking on such an uncannily smooth surface”. I also cannot ignore how chic it is – what a wonderful piece of cookware to have on display.

Simba hybrid luxe mattress, king: Was £1,799, now £1,295.28, Simbasleep.com
Simba’s hybrid luxe took the top spot in our review of the best mattresses of 2024 and, right now, you can get a dreamy £500 saving on the king size. “This substantial mattress has a whopping 11 layers and is therefore very robust,” IndyBest’s assistant eCommerce editor, Sarah, said when she put this mattress to the test. Sarah added: “It offers the ideal balance between a firm and medium sleeping base. Better still, it’s breathable and feels fresh. The layers work well together, and we’ve seen improved sleep, thanks to the coolness it offers during warmer months and increased cosiness seen in the autumn and winter.” What more could you ask for?
