Black Friday: what lifestyle deals to focus on

Black Friday 2023 is here. From today, 24 November, and in many cases until Monday, 27 November, which coincides with Cyber Monday, a flood of discounts and special offers will help us to provide for Christmas gifts and all our material needs without our wallets weeping in despair. From an electric broom as powerful as the space shuttle to a celebrity's face cream, from Manolo Blahnik heels to Toteme's viral coat, brands and shopping platforms lure us in with promises of bargains of all kinds. In fact, bargains to save money are not just about clothes, beauty products and electronic devices. In this vast ocean of 20 per cent, 30 per cent and 50 per cent off full price, there are also yoga classes, workouts, air travel, spa stays, cooking masterclasses and experiences to suit every taste.

G-Club has selected lifestyle deals to focus on for Black Friday 2023.
