Black Friday is here which means one thing - it’s time to start thinking about your wishlist.
Originally associated with the worlds of tech and mattresses, now brands across fashion, beauty, and even travel will be slashing prices for the holy grail of all sales events. We’re here to guide you through the maze of hundreds of discounts to make sure you don’t end up with an impulse buy that sits in your wardrobe, unworn, for years to come.
It’s time to think about what your wardrobe needs. Maybe you have a faded pair of jeans that need a 2022 upgrade, you’re used-to-be white kicks have seen better days, or your favourite party wear has already done the Christmas party rounds, either way, the range of brands offering discounts mean that your wish is Black Friday’s command.
Even better, with the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time to have your gift list at the ready so you can buy considered presents in the sales without recklessly adding discounted products to your basket with no individual in mind.
Our top tip? Don’t get overwhelmed by the millions of promotional emails and adverts - use our handy guide to choose your favourite brands offering the best deals and you’ll make the most of the sales.
What is Black Friday?
Originating in the US as a post-Thanksgiving sale, it’s become a global extravaganza when almost every retailer slashes their prices to annual lows for a whole weekend - and it’s the perfect time of year to tick off your Christmas-gift-to-do-list for a fraction of the price.
When is Black Friday 2022?
It’s on the fourth Friday of November, so this year the sales are officially meant to start on November 25. Just keep your eyes peeled, because every year the bargain extravaganza tends to start earlier in the month, so you can get your hands on some discounted goodies before the weekend itself.
When is Cyber Monday 2022?
The bargains last until the following Monday, so for 2022 it’s November 28, which is the day tech deals tend to have their moment in the spotlight. If you’re in the market for a new phone, TV, or laptop, Cyber Monday is your time to shine.
What were the best deals from Black Friday weekend last year?
From luxury online retailer MatchesFashion to high street store Urban Outfitters, with all of the sportswear, jewellery, and footwear brands in between, nearly every business marked down their products for the big day.
What kinds of deals can we expect this year?
The deals get better every time, so this year won’t disappoint. You can count on bagging discounts on some of the best pieces from your favourite brands.
How to keep up to date with the best Black Friday deals
With thousands of businesses offering markdowns, it’s hard to keep up with the deals that are genuinely worth it, which is why we’re here to help. Stay tuned to ES Best where we’ll curate the best offers available to save you the admin - we’ll even have a live blog to make sure you don’t miss out.
