My purchases this year are definitely more practical than aspirational. Having had to restock on electrical appliances in the past few months, the biggest thing on my list is a new microwave. Obviously, being a big tech fan, it can’t be any microwave. I want something that looks stylish in my kitchen, has plenty of space to reheat bigger dishes, and plenty of easy one-touch features, to save on effort. Hopefully I can find a model at a decent discount, as I’m pretty flexible on the brand and theAO.com Black Friday salehas some pretty good looking offers.

This year I’ll be looking to buy in two product areas in the Black Friday sales. Firstly, I’ll be looking forPhilips Hue smart lighting bargains, with a specific focus on light switches and hanging lights.Philips Huemakes thebest smart lightsin the world and ever since I wrote T3’sPhilips Hue review, I’ve been hooked. I’d like a deal on Hue’s Festiva smart fairy lights, too, but I can’t see it happening so soon after their launch. I also wouldn’t say no to big discounts on any of thebest Philips Hue Outdoor lights, either.
Secondly, I’m going to browse for discounts on any of thebest curved gaming monitorsmoney can buy right now. Ideally, theSamsung Odyssey Neo G9suddenly gets a huge 75% price cut, but as that isn’t actually going to happen in reality I’m going to be looking for price cuts on curved gaming monitors from AOC, Lenovo and LG. A fat discount on, say, theAOC AGON CU343Swould fit the bill nicely.

ThePlayStation5 kit is going to be super popular this Black Friday, and I’m going to be yet another punter lining up for the best deal I can find onSonyaccessories. It’s theSony Pulse 3D Wireless headsetthat I’m keenest to bag though. I called it hands-down thebest PS5 headsetmoney can buy in my review, as it delivers convincing three-dimensional audio and is ideal to use when you don’t want to bother others. It was relatively affordable at launch, but sales have seen that price drop further to make it an even more appealing buy this Black Friday.

I’m looking for aFlight Sim Controllerfor my boyfriend, who loves all that kind of stuff. The only question is whether to go for the classic ‘yoke’ style of controller, which is like an aeronautical steering wheel, or a joystick, which is what 99% of planes actually use in the 21st century. The latter may be more authentic but the old-school one is considerably cooler, unless you are using it to pilot a fighter jet, which would result in your almost certain demise.

While in previous years I was selfishly shopping for myself on Black Friday – I know, I’m terrible – in 2022, I’ll be focusing on finding cheap Christmas presents ideas for my loved ones. My son’s interested in microphones and content creation, so I think he might like aRode NT-USB Minior aLogitech for Creators Litra Glowlight (maybe both?). My fiancé is always cold, so hopefully, she’d appreciate a toastyThe North Face fleeceor theColumbia Lodge Hybrid Pullover. If I have any money left, I’ll get aVocaster Onefor myself (again, so selfish).

I have a newborn son, he’s very cute (I have a million pictures of him already if you want to see) but he also gets through an unbelievable amount of nappies and wipes. I’m talking about an extraordinary amount that nothing can prepare you for. So this year, instead of treating myself to something fun, like a new camera or television, I’ll be bulk-buying Eco Naty nappies andWater Wipes, enough to survive the upcoming nuclear apocalypse. If I have any money left, then maybe I’ll get him a few toys, because, hey, he has to dosomethingin between nappy changes.

In the Black Friday sales, I’m looking for cheap prices on kitchen appliances and sleep products to update my flat with. Starting off in the bedroom, my current pillow is just not cutting it anymore, and I keep waking up with neck pains, so I’m on the hunt for price cuts on thebest pillows. I’ve already scoped out3 pillows from theBlack Friday sales, and I’ve got my eye on theEmma Premium Microfibre Pillowwhich is 50% off in the Emma sale. I also want to update my plates and mugs, so I’m going to treat myself to theLe Creuset Black Friday salewhich has up to 40% off.

Over the past few months, I’ve been looking into smokers and dehydrators. Mainly to start making my own beef and mushroom jerky. There hasn’t been a decent Black Friday deal on a smoker just yet, but thisMasterbuilt electric smoker just got a 40% discountand I may have just found what I’m looking for. For only $120, it’s a great price and is exactly what I was looking for size wise.
