From plane tickets and travel luggage to gourmet cookware, shiny things often have shiny price tags to match. But with Black Friday 2025 deals almost here, these shiny things are starting to look a little bigger and brighter.
According to YouGov, 51 per cent of Aussies are planning to hit the Black Friday deals this year, with one in three claiming Christmas is their main focus when shopping the sales.
“Budget-conscious Australians are planning ahead, and for many, Black Friday has become the unofficial start of festive shopping,” said Brendan Straw, Shopfully Country Manager Australia. “With the end of the year already a high-expense period for many households, Black Friday will be a key shopping moment that retailers shouldn’t ignore.”
But with so many brands participating in these top Black Friday deals, with some dropping hundreds as early as November 1, there’s a lot of noise to cut through.

GT Shopping Editor’s picks
“The best Black Friday deals are the ones that have you think ‘hmm, I think my loved one would like this.’ I love using Black Friday sales as an excuse to stock up on fabulously discounted Christmas gifts. I’m currently eyeing the Ninja Stealth IQ Duo Power Blender Pro for my mum, and a pizza oven for my dad (now $400 off RRP). As for me? I’m eyeing an espresso coffee machine to bring a little calm to my chaotic mornings”— Rachel Weisz, Shopping Writer

FAQ’s
Black Friday is the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday in the US; this year it falls on 28 November and Cyber Monday follows soon after on Monday, 1 December. Although, some retailers start their sales earlier in the month. Bookmark this page to get regular updates on the sales for 2025
It is up to the individual retailers discretion whether or not their Black Friday sale tops the rest of their sale calendar, however, Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are considered one of the most coveted – and many retailers participate by releasing their best sales during this time. Keep this tab bookmarked for all the info on the best sales once they land.
Cyber Monday is a major online shopping day that occurs on the Monday following Black Friday. It was originally focused on exclusive, online-only tech deals. However, many retailers now offer discounts across a wide range of products including travel, home, fashion and beauty. Many retailers extend their Black Friday sales, instead offering a “Cyber Weekend” sale instead of the traditional Black Friday play.
While Cyber Monday use to be an online-only event, it has become an excuse for retailers to extend their Black Friday sale across the whole weekend. What day is “better” is dependent on what you’re purchasing. For flights and travel, the earlier the better. Some cruise lines, for example, will actually price match to the lower price, which means you won’t risk losing your booking. Appliances and technology are two categories that you can risk waiting out on, as many retailers will slash their prices further towards the tail end of their sale. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
