It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year as retailers slash their prices ahead of Christmas.

Black Friday is your chance to purchase the latest tech gadgets, fashion and beauty must-haves or home essentials at a discounted prices. Despite not taking place until November 29, many businesses have already started slashing their prices. Thousands of bargains are up for grabs.

The UK is expected to splash out a staggering £7.1bn on Black Friday, soaring from last year’s £5.2bn. If you’re one of the millions trying to find bargains in the Black Friday sales, you’ll know that it can be overwhelming with virtually every retailer dropping prices and boasting the “best deals ever”.

We have been keeping bargain hunters up to date with all the latest deals in the run up to the main event. Amazon launched its Black Friday Week sale on Friday, while Dunelm is currently offering reductions on some of its homeware bestsellers.

Beauty lovers can pick up some bargains at Boots with reductions on designer perfumes, premium brands and gift sets, while shoppers on the hunt for winter warmer deals can also visit Oodie’s Black Friday sale.

Here we have a round-up some of the best deals so far.

Boots: £40 off Gucci women’s perfume

Boots has reduced the price of a Gucci perfume that is proving a hit with many shoppers. The Gucci Bamboo for Her Eau de Parfum 50ml is now down to £50 in a Black Friday deal. It was previously £90, which means customers can save £40.

A number of customers have said they love the scent. One wrote: “I’ve loved this perfume since I first tried it a few years ago and it’s still my go to.” Not everyone was pleased though. One described it as having a “very poor performance” before adding it “doesn’t last and doesn’t smell of anything.”

If you fancy giving it a try, the Gucci Bamboo for Her Eau de Parfum 50ml is available for £50 from Boots here. If you want to consider other retailers, the Perfume Shop is selling Gucci Bamboo Eau de Parfum 75ml for £66.99.

One happy shopper wrote: “Simply stunning. The pictures really don’t do this chair justice. It is beyond gorgeous and at a really good price point.” There were some criticisms, however. One customer wrote: “Nice quality and to look at but not particularly comfy.”
