Black Friday 2025 is rapidly approaching, but savvy shoppers across the UK don't have to wait, with major retailers including Boots, Amazon and Currys already launching their sales events. From cutting-edge technology and must-have kitchen gadgets to premium beauty sets, the early bargains have officially begun.
As a dedicated consumer writer, my primary goal is to help you navigate these promotions and secure the most genuine discounts. I will only recommend products that offer real value for money, with the added assurance that our team of IndyBest experts has rigorously tested hundreds of items, from the latest Apple releases to the most coveted beauty advent calendars.
Top Early Black Friday Deals to Shop Now
If you can't find what you're looking for in our live updates, we have compiled dedicated Black Friday shopping guides covering everything from the Dyson Airwrap to the PS5. However, it's crucial to shop wisely; before completing your purchase, always ask yourself if the item is something you genuinely need and can afford. For more strategic advice, I have compiled my top tips to ensure you get the best possible Black Friday deal.
Standout Discounts on Tech and Beauty
The sales are already delivering significant savings. For instance, a pack of four Apple AirTags£79 at Laptops Direct. Our tech critic confirms these are among the best key finders available, featuring an ultra-wideband chip for precise, augmented-reality tracking.
In the beauty world, the Clinique Hydrate and Illuminate Gift Set, with an estimated value of £81.50, is now an incredible £31.50 at Beauty Bay – a saving of more than half price. Our beauty writer praises the set for containing skincare and makeup heroes.
For those seeking a new tablet, the all-new Apple iPad 11th-generation is already discounted at Amazon, down from £329 to £299. This model boasts a faster A16 Bionic chip and double the standard storage.
Home and Lifestyle Bargains
Home appliances are also featuring heavily in early promotions. The Shark Flexstyle five-in-one styler and hair dryer has seen a substantial £80 reduction, now costing £219.99 at Argos. Our reviewers found it to be a clear winner for its powerful drying capabilities.
Furthermore, a Beldray heated drying pod system is now just £25 at Argos, down from £50. While not the fastest dryer we've tested, it represents excellent value for money, effectively drying jeans in under four hours during our tests.
It's also the last chance to shop Aldi's Black Friday Specialbuys, with the retailer's famous middle aisles offering tech, beauty, and toys that are likely to sell out quickly.
While the liveblog is signing off for now, the hunt for the best deals continues. We will be back next week with more offers, tips, and tricks to help you master Black Friday 2025.
