Whether you're planning a full home renovation, looking to upgrade your household essentials or simply looking to get ahead on your Christmas shopping, Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to score major savings on home and electrical items.
While the official sale is still around the corner, Amazon is famous for kicking off its discounts early. To help you prepare your home (and budget) for the festive season, we’ve rounded up the key dates to bookmark, what home bargains to expect, and the standout early deals you can already shop today.
When is Amazon’s Black Friday sale?
This year, Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November, and sales will generally run through the weekend until Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November.
Amazon hasn’t yet announced when it will be. Last year’s sale began the week before Black Friday, beginning on Thursday 20 November, with Black Friday itself falling on Friday 28 November. Sales continued until Cyber Monday, the Monday after Black Friday.
Based on last year’s sales, we’d guess that Amazon Black Friday sales will start dropping from around Thursday 19 November this year, with bigger sales landing the following week, culminating in the most significant reductions on Black Friday itself, on 27 November.
What’s included in Amazon’s Black Friday sale?
Amazon’s Black Friday sale sees all kinds of homewares and home tech and electricals on sale, so there are plenty of opportunities for you to upgrade your home and interiors for the run-up to Christmas. Plus, it’s a great chance to get some early Christmas presents sorted for any loved ones too.
Early Amazon Black Friday deals on sale now
While there aren’t any official Black Friday deals available just yet, there are still plenty of household appliances and homewares on sale now to get your hands on.
Ninja CRISPi XL air fryer (was £249.99, now £219)
This extra-large 5.7-litre Ninja model should tick the box of everything you could need from an air fryer. You can either cook large meals in the main cooking container or swap to two smaller containers for sides and snacks. There are five preset cooking functions to help you crisp, air fry, bake, prove and recrisp your food.
Shark PowerPro pet cordless stick vacuum cleaner (was £299.99, now £189.98)
Earlier this year, we included this model in our round-up of the best Amazon Prime Day vacuum cleaners to buy – and we include it here for the same reason. The Shark PowerPro cordless stick model has an anti-hair wrap technology and flexible silicone fins to dig deep into carpets and pull out dirt. This model is particularly efficient at collecting animal hair, so it’s perfect for any pet owners whose furry friends might be shedding at this time of year.
Joseph Joseph totem waste separation and recycling unit (was £210, now £199)
Joseph Joseph’s home products are always stylish and innovative in equal measures, and this bin unit is no different. Elegantly separating waste from recycling, this space-saving kitchen bin unit stacks – rather than taking up floor space with individual containers. It has two 30-litre compartments for waste and recycling, as well as a three-litre removable food waste caddy with a lid, neatly included in the design. As with all Joseph Joseph bin products, it includes an odour filter, so you needn’t worry about that dreaded bin smell.
Refurbished Ring doorbell (was £89.99, now £42.99)
Ring doorbells can now be found on front doors across the nation, recording videos of visitors and alerting household owners to their arrival on a mobile phone app. While Ring doorbells are likely to join the main Black Friday sale, you can grab a refurbished one now for a vastly reduced price.
Lumie sunrise alarm (was £49.99, now £33.99)
Although the market is now flooded with sunrise alarm clocks – designed to gently and gradually brighten your room to mimic the natural sunrise and signal to your brain that it’s time to wake up – the Lumie alarm is the original, and arguably still the best. It helps reduce grogginess in the morning as the light glows warmer minute by minute over a set period before reaching its peak at your alarm time. Keep your phones out of the bedroom and improve your sleep with this clever sunrise alarm clock.
