A pack of four AirTags has dropped to its lowest price since 2022
I’m going to kick things off this morning with my favourite accessory for item losers like me. A pack of four AirTags has just dropped to its lowest price since 2022 for Black Friday, and I’ve already bought a set.
If you constantly misplace your keys, wallet, or bag, the Apple AirTag is about to become your new best friend. Each AirTag works seamlessly with the Find My app, letting you track your items with pinpoint precision. I especially love the augmented reality mode, which overlays arrows onto the real world to guide you straight to your things. I’ve got an AirTag on practically everything!

Save a rare 20% on the Xbox Series S
Gamers, don’t miss this rare saving on the Xbox Series S, courtesy of Argos’s Black Friday sale.
There’s £50 off the Xbox Series S in the Black Friday sale. Smaller and less powerful than the top-of-the-line Xbox Series X, the budget-friendly console plays all of the same games as its more advanced sibling – albeit with some of the fancier graphics settings dialled down.

Save 25% on this teeth whitening powder
Teeth discolouration is never fun and can affect people’s confidence. It’s a problem caused by years of drinking tea, coffee, juice and wine, and can even be caused by some medicines. The solution? A teeth whitening product – and the top pick in IndyBest’s review is the MySweetSmile powder.
MySweetSmile teeth whitening powder: Was £24.99, now £18.74, Amazon.co.uk
Taking the top spot in our review of the best teeth whitening kits, it was found to be “pleasant to use, with no issues of sensitivity – thanks to the inclusion of strontium chloride”. What’s more, the results were “naturally upgraded white smile after just a couple of weeks’ use”.

When does Black Friday 2024 end?
We’re now in the third day of Black Friday 2024. What was once a one day event, Black Friday has since evolved into a huge four day sale. Now, if you miss out on bagging a deal on the day itself, the sale continues over the weekend before concluding on Cyber Monday.
Typically, the best deals on tech and home appliances can be found on Black Friday, while Cyber Monday sees bigger savings across beauty, fashion and toys – so, this is worth bearing in mind when ticking off your pre-Christmas shopping list.
Cyber Monday will fall on Monday 2 December 2024 – which is your final chance to score a saving.
