The Black Friday Sales You Need To Know About For Fashion, Beauty & Homes

There are a few major sales days each year we’re willing to open our wallets for and Black Friday is at the top of the list.

For retailers, the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend is as big as Boxing Day sales – and last year it was actually bigger than the post-Christmas sales, according to analysis from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

For us avid shoppers, sales that come ahead of the festive season meaning we can save big when purchasing gifts, and of course, treat ourselves to an item or five.

While we’re all about indulging in a little retail therapy, particularly after the year we’ve had, the sheer magnitude of Black Friday can send shoppers into a buying frenzy that results in purchases we’ll probably only wear once.

Our tip for picking the steals out from the regrets? Evaluate and update your wish-lists ahead of time, so when sale day arrives you can see if what you really want made the cut.

Black Friday sales in Australia were even bigger than Boxing Day in 2023.

When Is Black Friday & Cyber Monday?

Black Friday 2024 is on November 29, with deals usually rolling through the weekend into Cyber Monday on December 2. That being said, Black Friday sales seem to be starting earlier every year, so take this as your cue to start your wish-lists.

Some of the best Black Friday sales can give you up to 80% off, although it varies a lot. But to give you an idea, and help you plan ahead for the 2024 Black Friday weekend, here’s a look at our pick of Black Friday fashion, beauty and home deals from last year.

How Do Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sales Compare To Boxing Day Sales?

Despite being a relatively new sales period in Australia, having originated from the United States, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are quickly overtaking Boxing Day as the biggest sale period of the year.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Black Friday sales weekend in 2023 was actually bigger than Boxing Day, with people spending more overall in November than they did in December.

“This shift in spending from December to November reflects the growing popularity of Black Friday sales and the impact of cost-of-living pressures, with consumers seeking out bargains and taking advantage of discounts in November,” ABS head of retail statistics Ben Dorber said in a media statement in January 2024.

So with most of the country’s spending falling before Christmas, our favourite brands and retailers make the most of the sale day to offer their biggest discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For us, that means we can get a head-start on Christmas shopping, or treat ourselves!
