Is Cyber Monday the best time to buy an Apple Watch?
b’
‘
If you’ve had your eye on an Apple Watch, there are currently some excellent deals. I’d recommend getting yourself a Series 10, which is last year’s model. The deals are better, there isn’t a huge difference in terms of features compared to the newest model, and the design is identical.
You can pick up the smaller Apple Watch Series 10 42mm for £269 on Very, which is £130 less than the price it launched at. If you would rather have the latest Apple Watch Series 11, there is £20 off on Amazon on both the 42mm and 46mm models.

Don’t miss these deals on the best games consoles

I’ve been surprised by the deals on games consoles over the last couple of days, with discounts on the PS5, Xbox Series X and the latest Nintendo Switch 2. If you’ve had your eye on any of them over the last couple of months, you’ll know that’s rare.
Whether you’re looking for yourself or a loved one, you’ll find our pick of the best games console deals below. I’d recommend moving quickly on these though, as they’re very likely to go back up to full price when Cyber Monday is over. If you’re unsure which to buy, we have a guide to the best games consoles too.

The products mentioned in our main Cyber Monday deals hub cover everything from tech and beauty to home and sleep, so we hope you’ll find at least one that makes your Christmas shopping a little easier, or at least cost a little less.
We will also be here on the live blog until midnight, which is when many of the deals currently available will return to full price.

A recap of the best Lego deals

I reviewed the best Lego Christmas gifts earlier this month and while many remain full price (as Lego often does), there are some that have deals.
One of my favourites, the Panda Family set, has been reduced over the whole Black Friday weekend. And if you haven’t bought an Advent calendar for yourself or your child yet, you can treat yourself to the Star Wars one for a discount now too.

Where are all the Dryrobe deals?

We’re seeing a lot of Google search for Dryrobe Cyber Monday deals today. You won’t find any on DryRobe itself, as the brand is choosing to “#OptOutside”, meaning it didn’t participate in Black Friday and instead gave its staff a paid day off last Friday, encouraging them to spend it outside.
If you don’t mind buying a changing robe from another brand, here are the best Dryrobe alternatives, with Cyber Monday discounts, on products we’ve tested:

£100 off an Oura Ring
More and more brands are releasing smart rings, but the Oura remains the best. It’s our favourite smart ring thanks to the 30 health and wellness metrics it tracks, while taking up very little space on your hand.
It tracks sleep stages, heart health, stress levels, breathing rate and workout tracking. At £100 less than its recommended retail price, if you were looking to invest in one anyway, this is a good time to buy.

Which beauty brands are running Cyber Monday discounts?
b’

The sales don’t end after Black Friday in the beauty world – most continue through until at least the end of Cyber Monday. Here are the most popular brands still running sales.
GHD is offering up to 30 per cent off selected bundles and products, with additional savings when you spend over certain amounts
Charlotte Tilbury has 25 per cent off everything
Dyson hair tools are significantly reduced, with savings of £80 or more on some of its most-wanted products, including the Supersonic hairdryer, Airwrap and Corrale straighteners
Medik8’s Black Friday sale involves 25 per cent off and free gifts, depending on how much you spend

Apple AirPods 4 deal
b’
‘
If Apple’s popular AirPods Pro 2 are still beyond your budget, even with Black Friday discounts, this deal on the standard AirPods 4 is well worth a look. Now under £100, they are at their lowest price to date.
For Apple users, they offer much of the same day‑to‑day ease as the Pro model, including one‑tap pairing and seamless handover between iPhone, iPad and Mac.
“If you’re on a budget and want wireless headphones that work effortlessly with Apple devices, the AirPods 4 are a strong choice,” says Britta O’Boyle in her review of the AirPods 4. She rates them among the best AirPods available – particularly at this price.

Do you need an air purifier, humidifier or dehumidifier?
We are increasingly concerned about the quality of the air inside our home. Whether it’s too damp, too dry or even too dirty, all are important concerns. But it’s not always easy to know what to buy in response. So, our home tech expert, Carly Page, compiled a handy guide.

Should you buy refurbished tech?
b’
‘
There’s a good case to be made against buying the latest flagship smartphone handset.
With annual upgrades from Apple, Google and Samsung usually only offering incremental changes, a slightly older refurbished iPhone, Pixel or Galaxy will share most of the same features as the newest models.
To guide you through the pros and cons of buying second-hand tech, we’ve created a quiz. We also asked readers about their views on refurbished tech, who were largely in favour, as long as retailers are transparent about the quality of the products.
The good news is that several of our favourite websites who sell refurbished tech are running a Black Friday sale, including Backmarket and Music Magpie.

The PlayStation 5 is still on offer
b’

This PlayStation 5 Digital Edition deal for £280 has been running for a few days, and it’s still going strong.
In our guide to the best gaming consoles, the PS5 is top of the leaderboard, with its powerful hardware, refined controller design and extensive catalogue of exclusive titles. The current discount applies to the digital-only version of the console, meaning it lacks a disc drive. Those who prefer physical games will need to choose the standard edition, currently priced at £379.
If you’re after a second controller for some couch co-op gaming, the DualSense controller is also on offer for £42.99.

Our Best Buy clothes steamer is still on sale

‘Tis the season where the clothes steamer really comes into its own. Silky dresses, sequins and satin suits will all benefit from having their creases steamed out rather than ironed due to their delicate nature.
Our Best Buy clothes steamer has been on sale since the beginning of the Black Friday sale but we have started seeing it go out of stock in a few places over the last couple of hours.
Currys still has the Russell Hobbs Steam Genie 2-in-1 Clothes Steamer on offer, however, and as you may have guessed from its name, it is both a clothes steamer and an iron. It’s reduced by £25, making it £34.99 instead of £59.99.

Rest your head on a good pillow
b’
‘
Investing in the right pillow for your sleep position will make a material difference to the quality of your sleep. As a general rule, side sleepers should choose a thick, squishy pillow to fit into the gap between their neck and shoulders. Back sleepers should look for a medium firmness to support their neck without pushing it forward, while stomach sleepers should choose a low loft to save their neck from overflexion.
However you sleep, the idea is to keep your spine in a straight line to minimise any aches and pains. Here are some deals on my favourite pillows to suit every sleep position:

Keep warm throughout winter with these electric heater savings
Rather than spending an arm and a leg heating the whole house, including rooms you almost never use, it might make more sense to invest in a decent electric heater to warm the space you’re actually in. A portable heater is a godsend for anyone who works from home during the colder months.

If you’ve been resisting the siren call of the air fryer, let Cyber Monday be the day you open your mind. Admittedly, early iterations of the air fryer were pretty basic, but technological advances in the past few years have introduced a wide array of cooking modes, from dehydrating fruit and proofing dough to steaming veg and searing meat.
We’ve ranked and reviewed all the best Ninja air fryers and spotted Cyber Monday discounts on almost all of them.

Headphones and earbuds bargains

What’s that? How about some excellent deals on our favourite headphones and earbuds.
There’s usually a lot of interest from savvy shoppers when it comes to Apple’s AirPods during sales periods. Our top pick is the AirPods Pro 2, which are now just £169 at EE. If you’d rather go cheaper, then the basic AirPods 4 are on offer for £99.
As for over-ear headphones, you won’t find a better deal than the Beats Studio Pro Wireless at Argos for £99. That’s a huge price drop compared to the £349.99 launch price just a couple of years ago. If you’re after something more high-end, then Sony’s WH-1000XM6’s are on offer for £299.
Finally, if your kids need a new pair of headphones, we recommend the JBL Junior 470 NC, now just £49.99.

Sensational smartphone savings

We’ve come across hundreds of smartphone deals during the Black Friday period, but only a few have been worth writing about. Our favourite Cyber Monday smartphone deal is for the Google Pixel 10, which is currently just £499. That’s the cheapest it’s ever been and by quite some distance.
Elsewhere, we have the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for £999, as well as its more affordable stablemate, the Galaxy S25 FE, which is also now only £499. The cheapest smartphone deal we recommend this afternoon is for the Google Pixel 9a at £347.

Whoop! This fitness tracker subscription has up to £60 off
Our all-action wearables reviewer Kieran Alger loved the high-end Whoop MG fitness tracker for its medical-grade health and performance monitoring. However, he was less enthused by the high cost of the subscription required to use its advanced features.
The Whoop MG comes as part of Whoop’s premium membership tier, which is called ‘Life’. Thanks to a Black Friday discount, you can pick up the Whoop MG device and a one-year subscription to go with it for £289 (saving £60 versus the usual price of £349).
“It serves up a unique new metric – Whoop Age – which Whoop claims can indicate whether your body is ageing faster or slower than your biological age,” said Alger of the Whoop MG. “My biological age came in 10 years younger, so it must be accurate.”

I mentioned earlier that today is a good day to be looking for a new TV. Samsung has one such deal on its 65-inch TVs and it’s an unusual one: it is refunding the VAT on all purchases.
This isn’t a reimbursement from HMRC. Instead, you must claim the cash back from the brand. The Telegraph Recommended TV expert has explained exactly how this deal works and found Samsung’s best TV deals to buy today.

While today is allegedly the best day of the year to buy technology products (something which the data backs up, for TVs in particular), it’s not the best time for everything.
Analysts at Adobe have noted that, if you need new sports gear, it’s worth waiting a bit longer. Brands tend to save their best discounts to coincide with traditional January health kicks.

Ninja Air fryers explained
b’

This is my fifth Black Friday and I can’t remember one where Ninja hasn’t significantly discounted its air fryers. While they drop in price at other times of the year too, with so many retailers racing to the bottom to secure a sale I do think this is the best time to buy.
Over the last few years, Ninja has increased its air fryer offering substantially. Gone are the days of it being a simple choice between one drawer or two. Now, there are rapid cooking programmes, flexible drawers and portable designs to reckon with.
We’ve tested them all here at Telegraph Recommended, so I thought it might be helpful to collate our experts’ findings into one guide. Here, you can directly compare the specifications and see which model we recommend for different homes and kitchens.

Cyber Monday sleep deals

Many of the top mattress and bedding brands are offering noteworthy discounts for Cyber Monday.

How to know you’re buying at the lowest price
Many retailers are offering price guarantees this Cyber Monday, which, in theory, keeps them more honest. Here’s how the offers stack up.
Currys is running a “lowest ever price” guarantee, which means every Cyber Monday deal should be at its lowest price ever at Currys. We’ve checked this against price-tracking websites and so far, it seems to stack up.
John Lewis’ policy isn’t special for Cyber Monday, but rather a year-round promise, which is “never knowingly undersold”. This means that John Lewis price matches against its 25 biggest competitors to ensure it’s at the lowest price possible. If you find a lower price within seven days of purchase at any of the retailers listed on its website (including Amazon, Argos and M&S), you can claim back the difference.
AO offers a seven day price match guarantee after delivery, meaning if you find a better price within a week, you can have the difference refunded.
Argos is offering a price guarantee on selected products marked with the ‘price guarantee’ badge’ on its website, valid until December 25. If the price of one of these products drops after purchase, customers can claim the difference back in the form of an Argos gift card.
Argos is also using ‘our lowest price’ badges, which means it’s the lowest a product has been sold at for six months, and ‘our lowest price ever’ badges, which means it’s the lowest price ever at Argos.

Are Black Friday sales still popular?
While we see lots of deals on offer, it doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone is snapping them up. Footfall on high streets outside London appears to be lower this Black Friday than in past years. Business reporter Eleanor Harmsworth explains that last week’s budget may be responsible.

There are still some Le Creuset deals left – but fewer colours to choose from
b’

There’s no getting around it: Le Creuset casserole dishes are expensive. It’s understandable that this is a popular brand when Black Friday rolls around. Luckily, there are still some discounts to be had today, although not as many as last week.
I’d consider this saving at John Lewis, which sees the 24cm Cast Iron Signature Round Casserole reduced to £223.30. Sadly, the larger 28cm versions are now out of stock. According to our reviewer, a trained chef, the brand is still the gold standard – despite what Telegraph writer John Sturgis thinks of his Le Creuset dishes.

How our fashion editors approach the Black Friday sales
Adobe market analysis suggests that Black Friday tends to bring the best discounts on clothing, but there’s no such thing as a good deal on an unneeded impulse purchase.
The Telegraph’s fashion editors recommend a cautious approach to the sales. “I have a one in, one out policy so I always consider what I will have to get rid of to make way for something new… And I also ask myself how often I will actually be wearing it,” says Head of Fashion, Lisa Armstrong.
Style editor, Sophie Tobin, advises readers never to buy impulsively. “If I’m not obsessing or thinking about it before I buy it, then I know I won’t wear it,” she says.

Deals to smile at

The saying goes that you can’t put a price on your health, but you certainly can for dental hygiene. Many electric toothbrushes command exorbitant prices for most of the year.

A marvellous MacBook deal
b’
‘
This isn’t just the best laptop deal we’ve spotted this Cyber Monday, but it might just be the best deal across the entire Black Friday and Cyber Monday period. The latest MacBook Air with the new M4 chip is just £799, down from £949.
We rarely see any genuine Apple product deals, with savings of usually around five per cent, especially on something so early in its life.
The MacBook Air (M4) got a perfect score in our review. Our only criticism was the lack of USB ports (you only get two) but this is expected on a laptop this thin and light. It’s unbelievably fast and the battery life lasted a lot longer than we expected. This is a deal worth picking up on, and it’s one I’ve already recommended to some friends.

If you can, it pays to wait until November to upgrade your smartphone. The latest models arrive in autumn, after which the previous year’s handsets are often significantly discounted. Even if you do want the latest tech, contract deals are also cheaper at this time of year.
Myself and the team have handpicked deals worth knowing about, and you’ll find them in our guide to the best smartphones right now.

Why you might want to buy refurbished
Buying refurbished tech is something that we at Recommended have often talked about. Of course, there are environmental benefits, but you can also take advantage of the lower prices at which these products retail. Still, I was surprised by the results of a recent survey, which found that one in three of our readers have purchased pre-owned gadgets.
We compiled these findings alongside a handy guide on shopping refurbished for those who are new to it. This includes where to look for everything from smartphones to coffee machines. Many refurbished goods sites are offering additional savings this Black Friday, so it’s worth shopping around.

It’s 7am and it’s still dark out. I’ve found that a great defence is a sunrise alarm clock. From experience, it’s a smoother transition from being asleep to fully awake, with a gradual bright light giving me a boost on these grey winter mornings.
I’ve spotted a few sunrise alarm clock deals over the weekend, and the deepest discount is actually on our Best Buy. The Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 750 DAB also features Bluetooth and USB connections, so you can play your own music or calming podcasts to drift off, and you can set your sunrise or sunset to last anywhere from 15 minutes for a quick wake-up to 90 minutes for a lie-in.

How to find the best Cyber Monday deals
Telegraph consumer champion, Katie Morley, is here to help you get a good deal.
“If I’m looking for a big ticket item, I’ll usually monitor the average price across all retailers before buying,” says Morley. “I never trust that ‘sale’ prices are actually the cheapest.”
You can use various websites to compare prices at multiple retailers. Idealo compares prices, delivery costs and times and includes ratings so that you can judge sellers’ bona fides. Price Spy and Price Runner also allow you to see price history.

Best Black Friday weekend deals still live
Today is more commonly known as Cyber Monday, but some of the great deals we saw throughout the Black Friday weekend are still live. Here are a few of the most popular offers that we think are worth a second look.
Apple’s excellent portable and powerful MacBook Air (M4) is still on offer through Very, with the base model starting at £799, which is a £200 saving off its RRP.
If you’re after a Windows laptop instead, however, John Lewis has a superb deal on the Asus Zenbook A14 CoPilot+ PC with £500 off the RRP.
For the kitchen, our favourite two drawer air fryer, the Ninja Foodi Max, is still equalling its lowest ever price on Amazon at £154.99.
In the home, meanwhile, our Best Buy choice of the best handheld vacuums, the Dyson Car+Boat, remains under £190 on Amazon, which is a saving of £60 on its RRP for a great lightweight and powerful vacuum to tackle the smaller jobs.

Black Friday vs Cyber Monday: What’s the difference?
With relentless advertising from brands, you’ve probably heard of Black Friday, but what about Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the final day of the Black Friday sales period. While some deals might hang around in the run-up to Christmas, the majority of discounts will end at midnight tonight.
It’s also the day when we expect brands to deepen their savings in a last-ditch effort to sell more stock. You will find a selection of the best deals from these retailers in our Cyber Monday shopping guide.
