When does the Pandora Black Friday sale end?
When it comes to jewellery, Pandora’s Black Friday 2024 sale is continuing to offer up to 30 per cent off - but you’ve only got one more day to shop your wishlist, as the deals will end on Monday 2 December.
This year, Pandora is treating us to up to 30 per cent off selected jewellery from its essence line, pavé collection and cult charms from the ‘moments’ collection, as well as pendant necklaces, rings, studs and more. A top tip from me – if you sign up to Pandora’s free loyalty scheme, you can get an extra 10 per cent off with the code “EXTRA10”.

A minimalist style for those looking to build their ring stack, Pandora’s ring is finished in 14k gold plating. Adding intrigue, the ring boasts a subtle wave design. With 30 per cent off the price in Pandora’s Black Friday sale, the ring is now less than £30 (the perfect stocking filler, in my opinion).

I’ve found the best Dyson supersonic Black Friday deals
There’s one hair tool that’s always high on people’s wishlists come Black Friday: the Dyson supersonic. The futuristic hair dryer was the vacuum brand’s debut venture into the beauty world back in 2016 – and it remains one of the best tools you can buy.

IndyBest tester, Chloë James, commented that the hair tool left her locks “shinier, softer and considerably more manageable throughout the day”.
She added that it “drastically decreases the amount of time spent drying your hair and leaves it far shinier and healthier than the majority of hair dryers”. The hair dryer also secured a spot in our round-up of the best models for 2024, so you can rest assured it’s worth the investment – especially with £80 slashed off its price for Black Friday 2024.

How to get Amazon Audible for just 99p
Bookworms, the audiobook subscription service Audible is currently 99p per month for three months for Amazon Prime subscribers who’ve never had Audible before (or haven’t been a member in the past 12 months). As an avid Audible-use, I strongly suggest taking advantage of the stellar saving.

You can listen to thousands of select Audible Originals, podcasts, and audiobooks. Once your trial period comes to an end, an Audible subscription will cost £7.99 each month, which will pay for one audiobook (each month) as well as the above. The offer will end on 21 January 2025, so, you’ve still got plenty of time to subscribe, even after Black Friday ends.
The best electric toothbrush deals I’ve spotted this Black Friday
Black Friday is the best time to make a saving on tech, and electric toothbrushes are among the most heavily reduced. So far, there’s been up to 75 per cent off Oral-B and Philips, as well as cheap replacement brush heads, teeth-whitening kits and water flossers.
Oral-B pro 3 electric toothbrush: Was £100, now £35, Amazon.co.uk
Steve rated the Oral-B Pro 3 the best electric toothbrush in his round-up, thanks to its low price and effective cleaning power. The brush is noisier than the premium iO range but cleans just as well. “This budget-friendly electric toothbrush might lack the bells and whistles of its pricier iO siblings, but the oscillating head still delivers a reliably thorough clean.”
