The time to tick off your Christmas gift list is here, with the best deals of the year available now. Whether you’re treating your dad to a new smartwatch, your best friend to a bottle of bubbly, or yourself to a new set of AirPods, missing out on the bargain bonanza in the run up to the festive season would be a crying shame.

An area that always experiences serious markdowns is gaming, including all of the PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch related goodies. The perfect time to bank stocking fillers, secret Santa presents, or even a console that will be the best gift under the tree, you’ll save some big bucks that will make all the difference when it comes to the Yuletide celebrations.

If you’re a gamer yourself, it’s time to think about upgrading your headset which has a microphone that barely works or bringing your game collection up to date with this year’s releases, because with huge sales at all of the top retailers, you can get the best of the best for a fraction of the price.

So, we’ve scoured high and low for the best deals available on the market in the run up to the bargain extravaganza. Keep scrolling to shop our edit.

What is Black Friday?

It’s the weekend of the year when bargain hunters worldwide rejoice, with retailers slashing RRPs left right and centre, from fashion, to tech, to beauty. Originating in the US as a post-Thanksgiving sales event for one day, it’s now a global phenomenon that sees discounts throughout the month of November.

When is Black Friday 2022?

Calendars at the ready! The official date for 2022 is November 25. An easy way to remember is that every year it’s the last Friday in November, and the sales always last until the following Monday.

Every year the discounts are released earlier and earlier, so keep you eyes peeled throughout November to make sure you don’t miss out.

When is Cyber Monday 2022?

This year, Cyber Monday, which is typically the best day for all things tech, is on November 28. It’s the last day of the sales event, so make sure you have your alerts set up to guarentee you don’t miss the weekend altogether.

How to keep up to date with the best Black Friday deals

With thousands of deals from hundreds of retailers, it’s hard to keep on track of the best on offer. That’s where we come in. We’ll be constantly updating this page until the sales are over, leading the way as your bargain hunting companion - just make sure you bookmark this page and our live blog so you don’t miss out on any updates.
