Good morning bargain hunters, it’s officially Black Friday 🎉

Today through to Monday will see prices slashed further and it’s your last chance to take advantage of the massive savings on offer.

Bagged an incredible deal? Post it here to share the love with fellow MNers.

At MNHQ we get early access to retailers’ discounts before they go live, so we’ve been combing through the data and picking out only the very best Black Friday deals on products Mumsnetters swear by. As ever, we’re double-checking Amazon offers on camelcamelcamel to make sure they’re genuine savings.

We’ll be updating this thread live until the end of the day on Monday, and to kick us off, here’s our pick of the very best sales and deals on Mumsnetter faves.

Trending deals - updated LIVE:

42% off Shark stratos anti-hair-wrap plus pet pro cordless vacuum: Was £499.99, now £292

John Lewis have up to 25% off thousands of products across all departments - including the £47 UGG Tasman look-a-like Sheepskin Cropped Slipper Boots Mumsnetters have been snapping up in their droves

Uniqlo’s Arigato Festival (aka Black Friday sale) includes cashmere, down coats and Mumsnetters’ most-recommended thermals, Heattech Ultra Warm Thermal Leggings and Crew Neck Long Sleeved Thermal Top, both now under £20

Hush have 20% off everything and 30% off selected styles, including almost all of their legendary PJs

Boden has a whopping 40% off selected items, most notably MNer faves the Harem Jersey Joggers were £45, now £27 - plus there’s 20% off literally everything else

Lovehoney have up to 60% off hundreds of sex toys and accessories, not least the MNer-approved Womanizer which is now just £80

Boots have various markdowns and offers across thousands of products. MNers love their beauty gift sets and calendars, which are selling like hot cakes. Still in stock is the No7 Restore & Renew Face & Neck Multi Action Collection 6 Piece Set, at £59 that’s a saving of over £100

The White Company is offering 20% off all weekend. Use code WHITE20 to save on dressing gowns, candles and Christmas decorations.

Drumroll, please 🥁 these are the top 5 Black Friday bargains Mumsnetters have been buying:

Oodie have had an incredible sale and you've taken full advantage of the savings on snuggly, soft (not to mention energy-bill-reducing...) blanket hoodies. MN's favourite style? The Navy Oodie, was £89, now £53

Mumsnetters' hankering after some UGG Tasmans but balking at the £100 price tag have been loving John Lewis' simple version. Their Sheepskin Cropped Boot Slippers are amazing quality and just £47, that's 20% off in both light grey and brown

"Definitely as good as the Air Wrap and half the price." sums up MNer opinion on the Shark FlexStyle - if you've been considering one, now's the time: it's currently £215 (was £270)

"The best iron I've ever used" for under 30 quid? Take our money! The Russell Hobbs Powersteam Ultra 3100 W Vertical Steam Iron 20630 is £29.65 (down from £70) right now

Handy, powerful and highly recommended by MNers, the Shark Handheld Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has been flying off the shelves. No wonder, it's currently £50, down from £80

Sh1eld · 24/11/2023 09:07

Is this one of those threads where people can ask for help finding the best deals? I'm after a cordless vacuum, probably a Shark - full size though, not the little handheld one above. I don't have pets, I do have messy children. Floors a mixture of carpet and Amtico (laminate). How do I know which one I want? And what's a good price?

Hi @Sh1eld you certainly can! As luck would have it, we have a whole page dedicated to the best Black Friday deals on Shark vacuums and a handy guide to the best ones by type.

I reckon the Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap would be a good fit - it's currently £169, which is its lowest price ever on Amazon

Has anyone had any luck getting a tele? We signed up to one of those Amazon invite only deals, but no dice (and no TV). DD wants one for her room

No luck on the invite-only TVs here either! Did you have a budget and size in mind?

PollyMumsnet · 24/11/2023 10:00

We’ve scoured far and wide for massive savings on the toys and games Mumsnetters love - these are our pick of this year’s Black Friday bunch, but hurry - they won’t last long.

The ever-popular, screen-free Yoto Player starter set is now £88, was £110 and we've spotted up to 20% off Yoto Cards at WHSmith

"Light weight, solid wheels so don’t puncher and easy to use with adjustable seat & handles." - the Banana GT Balance Bike is a hit with MNers - there's 50% off the bike in blue right now, it's £35 down from £70

Less messy than normal sand, Kinetic Sand is a perfect gift for younger kids. Kinetic Sand Scents Ice Cream Treats Playset is just £9 right now, that's a 63% saving

Nintendo Switch Neon Console & Super Mario Bros. Wonder is £259 at Very, down from £300

These are 82% gone as I'm typing this: Barbie Dreamhouse, £175 down from £350

There are some big markdowns on toddler fave Play-Doh: Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Pizza Oven Playset, was £21, now £10 and Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Magical Oven Play Food Set, was £31, now £15

20% off the Toniebox Julia Donaldson Bundle at £92, which includes 3 characters - or get the basic starter set for £64 and pop tonies characters on your DC's Christmas list

I've had a shark cordless and didn't rate it. I now have a Bosch unlimited 7 which is light years better. JL have it on BF deals but it is more £££.

Show quote history

Thanks for the recommendation @KitchenSinkLlama! 💐It currently has a massive £130 discount at John Lewis, where you can currently bag it for £270.

🚨Hot deal klaxon🚨

Mumsnetter favourite the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser is now JUST £30, with a huge 52% reduction. According to Camel Camel Camel, it's the lowest price it's been all year.

MNers say it's "amazing" and gives them a "Hollywood hairdresser blow-dry", and I have to wholeheartedly agree - I own it myself, and after a bit of time getting used to it, I absolutely love it.

banano · 24/11/2023 10:46

I’m after 2 x sonic toothbrushes (preferably Phillips or Oral B rather than a random brand) - ideally for £35 or less each! They are for separate gifts so not 2 in one box. Had a look on Amazon but they’re quite pricey!

Edited

Hey @banano - we've done some investigating and found these deals:

It's slightly over budget, but the Philips Sonicare 3100 Series Sonic Electric Toothbrush is currently £42, saving you 53% on the RRP.

It's not sonic, but the Oral-B Pro 3 Electric Toothbrush is bang on budget at £35 (with 65% knocked off the RRP).

Alternatively, if you wanted to go for a different brand but one that's well-known, Superdrug ProCare Sonic Electric Toothbrushes are now just £23, saving you 54%!

Has anyone seen any good deals on mattresses - NOT hybrid or memory foam ones which make me hot (and not in a good way!)

Hey @Fraca - we have a guide to the best Black Friday mattress deals which may be useful😁

For something firm, we love the Silentnight 1400 Eco Comfort Mattress, which currently has 42% knocked off the RRP and is just £283.

Dreams also has up to £338 off their traditional spring mattresses.

And, while we know memory foam is a no-no, we couldn't help but give an honourable mention to the Emma Luxe Cooling Mattress. While it does contain memory foam, it's specially designed to regulate your body temperature and keep you cool during the night. You can get it now with 65% off, from £419.

Anyone seen any good deals on wool duvets? I'm after a king size one and have my eye on one that's £190, so if I can get one as good as that one but for less that would be marvellous.

Hey @StuntNun! Our top pick is the eufy RoboVac 15C MAX, which is now just £140 - saving 43% on the RRP. One reviewer called it a "must for pet owners", and other reviews report it's great at picking up pet hair.

If your budget's a little higher, we also love the SAMSUNG Jet Bot VR30T80313W/EU Robot Vacuum Cleaner. It currently has a £210 reduction, and is now £389.

Good evening @Willygogs! What kind of style are you looking for? I know that Morphy Richards reign supreme when it comes to soup makers - according to my own DM!

There are a few discounted on Amazon today...

Morphy Richards 1.6L Total Control Soup Maker, was £130, now £85

Morphy Richards 1.6L Clarity Soup Maker, was £90, now £65

Morphy Richards Perfect Soup Maker with Integrated Scales, was £105, now £85

I'm looking for a deal on a front and rear dashcam. Any suggestions?

Hi @WobblyCat - what's your budget? The brand Nextbase comes up a lot on the Talk boards from user recommendations and this one is currently discounted at Currys:

NEXTBASE 322GW Full HD Dash Cam with Rear Window Dash Cam & Go Pack Bundle, was £219, now £159

Or this one at Amazon:

Nextbase 422GW Dash Cam Front and Rear Camera, was £190, now £160

I'd recommend the deal at Currys, though, given that it appears you get an SD card and carry case included.

There are models that are cheaper but they're all front cameras only.

Echo Buds (2nd Gen), was £130, now £45

HOMIDEC Airer Clothes Drying Rack, was £49, now £30 - looks very similar to the Dry:Soon clothes airer we love at MNHQ!

Another MNHQ favourite - the ORORO Women's Fleece Heated Vest With Battery Pack Heated Gilet was £126, now £100

Amazon Smart Plug, works with Alexa, was £25, now £13

Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet,, was £260, now £145

And for now, a personal pick I want to share...

Somerway 1182ml Travel Mug 40oz Tumbler with Straw and Lid, was £22, now £18 - admittedly not a huge saving but a great Stanley Quencher dupe!
