If last year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday were anything to go by, this year is going to be big. We saw jaw-dropping discounts across fashion, beauty, home, and travel — and we’re expecting retailers to bring the heat again.

From up to 80 per cent off summer dresses to hundreds of dollars off Dyson hair tools, shoppers scored major wins in 2024. Fashion favourites like Aje, Country Road, and The Iconic slashed prices by up to half, while beauty giants like Adore Beauty and Sephora offered serious savings on cult-favourite products.

Homewares didn’t miss out either — Sheridan, Adairs, and Temple & Webster ran deep discounts, and luggage brands like Samsonite and Antler had massive markdowns ahead of the holiday travel rush.

If retailers follow the same playbook, expect big-name brands, bigger price drops, and the perfect excuse to get your Christmas shopping sorted early — or just treat yourself, guilt-free.

Editor’s pick: the deal we’re holding out for

This is my third consecutive year covering Black Friday sales, and I’ve got high expectations. This year, I’m really hoping to score big on this gorgeous Teri Shoulder Bag from Coach — fingers crossed!
