Black Friday 2024 live: Latest deals on everything from Superdrug to Nintendo
Brands and retailers are kicking off their Black Friday sales early, with deals on Ninja, Samsung and more
Withjust over a week to go until Black Friday officially begins, we’re seeing hundreds of early deals dropping across major brands and retailers, including Currys, Argos, Debenhams, Boots and Shark, so you can start your shopping right away.
Whether you’re looking to stock up on beauty essentials, replace your old laptop, or invest in a new mattress, the IndyBest team has been compiling hundreds of impressive deals in our Black Friday shopping guides. But for real-time updates on discounts and news as it drops, our liveblog has you covered.
The Black Friday sales could save you cash on a TV, toys, jewellery and furniture, but the steepest discounts aren’t necessarily the best deals. The most impressive discounts 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, Samsung has started its sale, ghd is offering up to 25 per cent off everything, Oodie has 50 per cent off blanket hoodies and Dyson is offering hundreds of pounds off its products. Elsewhere, you can find bargains at Boots, Currys, Argos, Lookfantastic and more. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest Black Friday sales ever.

Huawei launches its Black Friday deals
Huawei might have essentially wound down its smartphone operations in the UK, but the Chinese tech giant does way more than just phones. For Black Friday you’ll find discounts across its range of wearables, headphones, tablets and laptops.
Right now you can save up to £70 on the fashion-first Huawei Watch GT4 (was £229.99, now £159.99, Huawei.com) and £50 on the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 (was £179.99, now £129.99, Huawei.com).
Get the Ring doorbell for just £59.99
Want to answer the door from anywhere in the world? Well now you can. The newest version of our favourite tried and tested video doorbell is now 40 per cent off at Amazon thanks to their early Black Friday sale.
Ring video doorbell (2024 release): Was £99.99, now £59.99, Amazon.co.uk
We rated the previous version of the Ring the best video doorbell, and now the newest model can be all yours for less than £60. Our tester enjoyed how easy the device was to install, and loved the efficiency of the Ring app in alerting her to parcels – something we’re all going to need this Black Friday.
Save 15 per cent on the Neom reed diffuser
My flat is so crammed full of reed diffusers, it smells like an Aesop truck tipped over on the M5. One of my favourites is the Neom wellbeing pod, which is reduced by 15 per cent in the Boot Black Friday sale.
My colleague Lucy spotted this deal, adding that “while 15 per cent might not sound too enticing, you’ll be pleased to discover that a £45 spend on Neom via Boots gets you a free travel candle”.
Lucy then informed me that a travel candle is simply a small candle, not one you walk around with at night like Ebenezer Scrooge.
Neom wellbeing pod electric diffuser: Was £95, now £80.75 (+ £20 free gift), Boots.com
The candle alone is worth £20, which means almost £35 in savings. When reviewing the wellbeing pod’s larger ‘luxe’ sibling in our’ review of the best oil diffusers, our tester praised its "unique design that fits in seamlessly with loads of interior styles."
