December’s parties and gatherings are now just weeks away, a final hurrah to the end of another year.
If you’re anything like us, your diary is likely filling up with all sorts of events and winter soirees. It’s thirsty work, and best prepped by having a fully stocked drinks cabinet that you can dip into when guests come over, or you’re in need of a fool proof gift to give your host.
Lucky Black Friday is at the end of the month, and offers a golden opportunity to stock up on all sorts of festive must-haves, from party dresses and gifts to the tastiest tipples for Christmas, New Year and beyond.
What is Black Friday?
It’s the kickstarter to the entire festive shopping period - and you can thank our American cousins for kicking the whole discount bonanza off. The sales event began across the pond when retailers took advantage of families coming together for Thanksgiving by throwing epic discounts on all sorts of goods. It caught on with bargain-hungry Brits and has been a fixture in the shopping calendar here for some years now.
When is Black Friday 2022? When is Cyber Monday 2022?
It always takes place on the last Friday of the month, this year that’s: November 25. Sales will continue over the weekend before wrapping up on Cyber Monday which is on November 28 this year.
