Black Friday 2024 live: Latest discounts, from iPads to skincare
Brands and retailers are kicking off their Black Friday sales early, with deals on iPads, PlayStation, Yoto, Zara and more
Black Friday 2024 officially starts on 29 November, but retailers from Currys, Argos and Debenhams to Boots and Shark have already begun their sales. Ecommerce giant Amazon is the latest to launch, with Sony PlayStation and Glossier having joined the action last week.
Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team are 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.

Top dehumidifier deals
Dehumidifiers are a must-have for keeping damp and mould at bay in your home. The best dehumidifier, according to our reviewer, is the Duux bora smart dehumidifier, and it’s now reduced by £50 at Currys (was £299.99, now £249, Currys.co.uk). Elsewhere, you can save on top models from Sharp, De’longhi and more.
Russell Hobbs fresh air dehumidifier: Was £51.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
This fresh air dehumidifier was recommended by our reviewer for small spaces and rooms up to 15 square metres, as it’s “so compact it will sit neatly on your shelves or sideboard, without you even realising it’s there”. Currently discounted by 25 per cent at Amazon, it’s both quiet and easy to use, according to our reviewer, as there’s “just one simple button to switch it on and get it to work”.
Tonies Toniebox is reduced to an all-time low
Deals on kids’ brand Tonies are always sought after each Black Friday. The perfect chance to tick off your Christmas shopping list for little ones, Tonieboxes are now reduced to all time low in its Black Friday 2024 sale.
Tonies toniebox: Was £79.95, now £63.96, Tonies.com
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.
Looking for a heated clothes airer deal?
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.

When is Black Friday 2024?
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).

The viral Maybelline New York lash sky high mascara is on sale
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 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. 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.
Looking for an iPhone 15 deal?
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.
iPhone 15 Pro: Was £999, now £879, Laptopsdirect.co.uk
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.
