When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday 2024 falls on the last Friday of November every year, meaning it will take place on Friday 29 November. Although, early deals often take place as early as the start of November. Despite being called 'Black Friday', deals often also run over the whole weekend, and even into the following Monday, AKA Cyber Monday.
Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday better for gift deals?
We'd say that Black Friday tends to be better for gift deals, tbh. For the Black Friday sales, there are deals on just about everything and nearly every brand takes part. More discounts might take place on Cyber Monday, so be sure to bookmark this page for all of the goss nearer the time.
We probably would recommend starting on Black Friday rather than Cyber Monday, as stock can be limited. While it might be tempting to hold out for further reductions, we'd recommend getting it when you see it, otherwise, it might not be there in the next few days... or even hours.
Is it worth waiting for Black Friday gift deals?
In short, yes. Black Friday means loads of discounts on some big brand names, especially when it comes to Christmas gift shopping. Being patient, waiting on bigger brands to drop their deals and investing in higher-quality pieces can really make all the difference.
What are the expected Black Friday gift deals?
Last year, nearly every brand took part and we saw deals on brands like ghd, Dyson, Babyliss, L'Oreal, Revlon, Keratese, Bobbi Brown, Weleda, Estee Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent and more.
Some of our favourite stand-out deals that we'll be searching for again this year are: the Dyson Corrale™ Cord-Free Straightener, Mugler Alien Eau de Toilette and the Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Pafum Spray.
