It’s time to crack open the piggy bank; Black Friday is here!
The annual shopping bonanza is back once again to thrill and delight bargain hunters with a bevvy of knocked-down prices on everything from TVs and tech to mattresses and air fryers (to the delight of the folks that don’t have one yet).
But the deals that are getting us hottest under the collar? That’ll be the offers across adult toys, lingerie and sexccesories.
But wait, this is all a little premature - let’s start at the beginning.
When is Black Friday 2024?
It’s the best time of the year to strike through your shopping wish list. It’s always the day after the US celebrates Thanksgiving, meaning that this year, Black Friday is on November 29.
When does Black Friday end?
Deals will start tailing off after a weekend of plummeting prices and dwindling stock. Cyber Monday, the day reserved for all things tech, will bring things to an end on December 2. Competition amongst shops is fierce, which is great news for shoppers as it means the best bargains.
While Black Friday is an incredible opportunity to bag big ticket items that would otherwise be out of financial reach (think TVs, washing machines and vacuums), it’s also an irresistible chance to treat yourself or your S.O. to a bit of fun.

Why is it called Black Friday?
The shopping event kicked off in the US as retailers held big sales to celebrate Thanksgiving. Naturally, the concept caught on here, and although we save our turkey dinner for Christmas, bargain-loving Brits go wild for a major sales event timed just before the Christmas countdown kick-off.
