With one more sleep until the main event, the Black Friday deals are getting bigger and better. Our team of seasoned shopping expert have been hunting down the latest offers in the UK, including Amazon’s huge Black Friday sale on Kindles, discounted air fryers at Currys, John Lewis and Argos’ month-long events and top products from the likes of Charlotte Tilbury, Nintendo, Dyson and Ninja.

As The Independent’s senior shopping writer, I’ve been covering the Black Friday sales for half a decade, so I know the difference between a good deal and a dud. Standouts so far include the AirPods Pro 2 at their lowest price of the year, up to 30 per cent off Pandora charms, a rare saving on the Nintendo Switch 2 console at Argos, £80 off our top-rated Duux bora dehumidifier at Amazon, and a huge saving on Charlotte Tilbury’s pillow talk gift set, which works out far cheaper than buying the products individually.

Before you get carried away, make a quick list of what you actually need – it makes doing your research a lot easier. Our guides only include tried and tested products that you can trust, while our consumer team have practical advice on getting value out of the sales. So, without further ado, grab a cuppa, sit back and have a nice scroll – let’s go hunting for deals.

A rare saving on the Le Labo matcha fragrance

15:15 , Daisy Lester

From Santa 33 to Another 13, Le Labo’s cult scents have reached hall of fame status. But they don’t come cheap, and deals are rare on the fragrances – until now. Beauty writer Lucy has spotted a nearly £30 discount on thé matcha scent.

The Longchamp le pliage tote is one of the most affordable designer bags you can buy. Now, the 30-year-old bag is enjoying another renaissance – particularly the mesh crossbody style. While Longchamp itself doesn’t host Black Friday sales, I’ve found a deal at Flannels.

Why is it called Black Friday?

14:45 , Daisy Lester

Black Friday is the biggest sales event of the year. It falls on the fourth Friday of November (the day after Thanksgiving in the US), and is seen as the best time to snap up deals ahead of Christmas. Typically, discounts will continue right through the weekend, until Cyber Monday.

As for the name, it refers to being “in the black”, which in accounting terms means making a profit. “In the red” in comparison, means losing money. By the 1980s, retailers had dubbed the huge surge of Christmas shopping the day after Thanksgiving as Black Friday, as it pushed shops from “red” to “black”. It’s as simple as that.

14:30 , Daisy Lester

The music giant is also home to audiobooks, podcasts and more. A monthly subscription usually costs £12.99, so this is a stellar saving.

When does Black Friday end?

14:15 , Daisy Lester

Although deals have been running for the entire month, Black Friday officially kicks off at midnight this evening. The sales stretches across the weekend, concluding on Cyber Monday (1 December).

Traditionally, Cyber Monday was a special day reserved for online shopping – but now, of course, the entire sale can be shopped online. It’s your last chance to shop the deals. In the past, we’ve seen some of the biggest price cuts on tech during Cyber Monday.
