If you’re goal this Black Friday is to score some great tech products for decent prices, you’re in for a treat. Tech is probably the most sought after category during the biggest sale event of the year, and John Lewis has some offers in that department you don’t want to miss.
Google nest mini, 2nd gen, charcoal: Was £49, now £18, Johnlewis.com
When we tested this dinky smart speaker – which happens to be Google’s smallest smart device – it did not disappoint. Lightweight and fitting in the palm of our tester’s hand, it’s a direct rival to Amazon’s echo dot. Our reviewer added: “It’s a great bit of kit, with a sound that comfortably outperforms its size and microphones that cope with most situations with ease, with the vital feature of offering the best voice assistant on the market.” Now on sale with an incredible 63 per cent off, we’d recommend adding it to your cart sharpish.

12:55 , Dominique Boulan
Christmas dinners make for some fun and precious time with family and friends, but if you’re the one in the kitchen it can also be quite stressful. Thankfully, John Lewis is there to help you out with a stunning discount on some quality kitchen gear from Le Creuset.

BaByliss hair straightener for less than half price
11:55 , Dominique Boulan
When we were still living from lockdown to lockdown, we didn’t have to worry much about our looks. But, now that we’re allowed to play again, we’re slowly starting to get into the habit of dressing up again: clothes, make-up and of course, hair.
For those who don’t have much time in their busy lives to spend on their luscious locks, we have a great Black Friday recommendation:
BaByliss opulence hair straightener: Was £80, now £36, Johnlewis.com
