Black Friday, are you over it already? I won't lie, I'm a little bored of being bombarded with deals left, right and centre! That's the thing with Black Friday, you sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with so much choice and retailers drop discounts so early, by the time the big event arrives, you've got discount fatigue.
Where to find the best Black Friday deals
It won't take you long to find a good deal - the deals are taking place all across the internet! The big retailers are a good place to start. Think Amazon UK, John Lewis, Selfridges if you're in the UK. If you're based in the States, try Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon US and Target.

Why you should trust me
I've worked on Black Friday content for the past 10 years and, I'm not going to lie, this year the pressure is on to make it the best Black Friday ever. I had sale alerts set up, and I have been privy to deals before they've launched as the PRs for brands and retailers usually go direct to journalists to let them know.

Shoppers can save a huge amount on the Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine in the Black Friday sale.

Ninja Air Fryer
If you’ve yet to join the air fryer party, Ninja is a brand that shoppers flock to. Whether you're after a family-size model or a smaller design for the solo cook, people use air fryers because they cook dinner fast thanks to the rapid air circulation. You can use little to no fat, making it a much healthier option. You also save up to 70% on your energy bill as it uses much less power than a conventional oven.

Oura Ring
I expect the Oura Ring will be widely purchased over Cyber weekend, especially for Christmas gifting. The newest Oura Ring (the Gen 4) hasn't been discounted as it was only released in October, but Gen 3 is currently on offer in the Black Friday deals. I love my smart ring - I have the Gen 3 - and would feel lost without it.

Fragrance
Black Friday is a great time to buy a new perfume or a new aftershave - especially with Christmas around the corner, it makes sense to pick up a nice smelling gift for a lot less.

Black Friday is a great time to make a saving on a future holiday! Especially if you have an idea of when and where, and you're up for doing the research.

Nintendo Switch consoles and the games to go with it are rarely ever discounted outside of Black Friday, so if you’re looking for a deal, Black Friday is when you're going to get one. I expect the original Nintendo Switch console and the Nintendo Switch OLED. will both get discounts, as per last year.

KitchenAid Mixer
Calling all bakers, if you're still in the market for a KitchenAid, now is the time to buy one. I find that KitchenAid prices remain quite high throughout the year, but in November the prices do go down. This year could be better than ever since there's so much competition now for a stand mixer. If you're looking for the quirky colours, you may struggle but I have found this beautiful matcha green shade with stainless steel details on over with £200 off.

Kindle Paperwhite
This is top of my wish list for 2025 - especially with the chic new colours. The Kindle has been classed as a 'hot product' so catch the deal while you can.

Shark Stratos
You’d be hard-pressed to find a better price for one of Mrs Hinch’s beloved vacuums than this! This Shark cleaner has anti-hair wrap technology and it transforms into a portable vacuum. It has over 5k glowing reviews on Amazon.
My colleague, Senior Lifestyle Editor Karen Silas, loves hers. She says: "It's lightweight, you can separate the battery to charge it so you don't have to plug in the whole vacuum, it has amazing suction power on both wood floors and carpet, and I absolutely love the easy-to-detach handheld vacuum."

If you're a fan of a protein shake in the morning, or you know your January wellness plans will involve delicious smoothies, you might want to shop a smoothie maker on Black Friday. I have tried both the Salter NutriPro 1000 and nutribullet blender and they're both brilliant.

Editor Verdict: What are the best things to buy?
For the biggest savings over the Black Friday weekend, stick to the high-ticket items, or things that rarely go on sale. Ask yourself whether you need it or whether you're buying it because it's on sale.
For me personally, I think Black Friday is a great time to look out for Christmas presents or out of season items. For example, now's the time you might want to look into buying your electric BBQ for the summer months, or a pizza oven (Oonie usually has a good Black Friday deal on!).
It's also a good time to invest in something for your health - I'm in the market for a walking pad, so I'll be searching for one of those on Black Friday weekend. Or you might want to see what all the fuss is about with an Oura smart ring or an Apple Watch.
Amazon is a winner when it comes to discounts... keep an eye on the lightning deals that usually take place throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
If you're a lover of beauty like I am, now might be a good time to replenish your favourite perfume (Sephora would be a great place to visit for this!). Or have a look for some good beauty gift sets that you can save for Christmas and possibly even birthdays in 2025. Skincare can be very expensive as well, so it's a good time to pick up a treat or two and see if you can bag a free gift with purchase while you're there.
Mattresses tend to be a real hit over Black Friday with shoppers - if you're cursing your current mattress every day, now's the time to invest. Check out brands such as Simba and Emma - two of the most popular.
Lastly, I think Black Friday is a great time to get a deal on travel and experiences. There will be plenty of travel discounts across the internet and keep an eye on discounts for musicals and theatre productions.
Black Friday - the details
Black Friday falls on November 29, the day after the US Thanksgiving holiday.
