Black Friday 2024 live: Latest offers from Meta Quest to Zara

Designed to be used independently from 18 months to two, a Toniebox offers hours of screens-free fun. It’s 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 – you simply swap out the Tonie character that sits on top – of which there are more than 100 to choose from – and a different tale will be read to your child. “We think the Toniebox is so clever – exciting, engaging, screen-free fun which your child can really take ownership of”, one of our testers said.

When it comes to doing the laundry in the depths of winter, there’s one appliance you may want to invest in: a heated clothes airer.

While a tumble dryer can cost up to £1.55 an hour to operate (depending on the model), a heated airer is a far more energy-efficient way to dry your clothes, as it is likely to cost less than 40p an hour to run.

Now, you can save even more money, thanks to Black Friday deals from Amazon, Lakeland, Easylife and more. True to form, our team of shopping experts have rounded up the best heated clothes airer offers available.

Falling the day after Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday marks the start of the pre-Christmas shopping season. In fact, the first use of “Black Friday” in retail can be traced all the way back to the Fifties, when shops shifted from losses (in the red) to profits (in the black).

In the decades since, what started as a one-day sale has evolved into a four-day event (and, in some cases, a whole month of deals) that’s marked internationally and concludes on what is known as Cyber Monday.

This year, the mammoth sale will kick off on Friday 29 November. Lasting a full four days, the deals will end on Cyber Monday (2 December).

Maybelline New York lash sensational sky high mascara is one of my favourite budget beauty buys (there’s a reason why it went viral on TikTok viral). It’s also earned a permanent spot in assistant eCommerce editor’s Sarah’s make-up bag. Find out why in her full review.

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. In Sarah’s in-depth review of the mascara, 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.

It might have been overshadowed by the new iPhone 16, but that means last year’s iPhone 15 Pro can now be picked up with a sizeable discount for Black Friday. Laptops Direct is offering Apple’s previous generation phone with £120 off.

In tech critic David Phelan’s iPhone 15 Pro review, he said it “delivered outstanding upgrades” over older models and is frankly just as good as the iPhone 16 Pro, boasting the same AI features as its newer brother. It’s the phone I’m still rocking because of how small the iPhone 16 upgrade is over the 15.

Each year, I wait until Black Friday to stock up on my favourite perfumes. With sales from the likes of Boots, John Lewis and Lookfantastic, it’s the best time of the year to save on scents from Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Glossier, Chanel and plenty more. Beauty writer Lucy has rounded up the best perfume Black Friday deals below, including a saving on Marc Jacobs Daisy.

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”.

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.

Shark’s Black Friday sale is well underway. Right now, you can save up to £100 on vacuum cleaners, while the brand’s hair tools are also seeing their prices slashed. If it’s a cordless vacuum you’re after, I’ve found a £130 saving.

With an hour-long run-time, this cordless vacuum cleaner comes complete with a pet tool and anti-hair-wrap technology, which is ideal if you want to prevent hairs from getting tangled up in the brush roll while you’re hoovering. Plus, while using it as a handheld, it’s said to be lightweight, so you should be able to clean hard-to-reach spots more easily.
