Best John Lewis Black Friday and Cyber Monday UK deals today
The pressure is on for department store John Lewis this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Despite earning its best single day sales performance ever in 2017, this year’s sales event follows news that the retail giant’s profits slipped 99% from last year for the six months to July 28.

2017 Apple iPad Pro 10.5 inch
Described in our Telegraph review as Apple’s Goldilocks tablet: not too big, not too small, but just right, this is definitely the best tablet Apple has made. It first hit the shelves last year, and is slimmer than its predecessors, with more power and an improved screen. It's pricey compared to the basic iPad and it needs more functionality to be a full laptop replacement, but worth it if you can afford it.

There's a 30 per cent saving on this indulgent beauty advent calendar featuring 25 full and trial size products from big brands such as Nars, Neals Yard, Clarins, Benefit and Aveda. Perfect for pre-Christmas pampering.
Bosch Athlet Runtime Plus BCH65MSGB Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
The first cordless vacuum cleaner from Bosch, this model has a 75-minute runtime with sensors which indicate a decrease in performance. Reviewers praise it for being lightweight and easy to use. A good option if you don't want to splash out on a Dyson.
