Black Friday 2025 live: Expert-recommended deals as they drop – UK Times

Had your eye on the Ninja slushi? This appliance, which our tester Alex called “exceptionally fun”, is currently at its lowest ever price on Amazon.

From frozen margaritas to oreo milkshakes, the Ninja slushi makes them all. “This is a nearly unique appliance,” Alex said in his review. “Until another brand makes a good domestic slushy maker, this is really the only option on the market.”

If the Dyson airwrap i.d. is at the top of your wishlist, you can currently get this coveted tool for £100 off in John Lewis’ Black Friday sale.

Whether it’s with whipped cream or Bailey’s, I’m looking forward to drinking an absurd amount of hot chocolate come December.
