The best John Lewis Black Friday 2021 deals to shop
Apple AirPods pro with charging case: Was £239, now £185, Johnlewis.com
Usually a pretty hefty investment, these sleek buds from Apple are reduced to £185, courtesy of John Lewis’s pre-Black Friday sale. In our Apple AirPods pro review, our tester was impressed with their level of comfort and noise cancellation, calling them “a high-end pair of earphones that are difficult to find much fault in”. They have Apple’s classic glossy finish, you can choose between three sizes to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
Nespresso creatista pro SNE900BSS coffee machine by Sage: Was £679, now £499.95, Johnlewis.com
The only thing hotter than coffee right now is this deluxe appliance. With almost £180 off and Nespresso products selling out fast at John Lewis & Partners, now could be the best time to invest in the cafe-quality coffee machine. Sage claims it can whip up two cappuccinos in 65 seconds, while the fully-automated steam wand means you can perfect your latte art at home. In our review of another Nespresso machine, our tester loved how quiet it was. Since this machine is a quiet mark-awarded product, we think it’ll be just as good. Another thing we love about Nespresso machines is how easy to use they are – and this one is no exception. Adjusting the coffee volume, milk texture or temperature seems like a simple task with the creatista pro.
Oculus quest 2 virtual reality headset: £299 with £50 voucher, Johnlewis.com
The Oculus quest 2 comes in two flavours. The smaller 128GB model usually retails for £299, whereas the larger 256GB model will set you back around £399.

The headset’s focus is on accessibility, and it remains the cheapest way for most people to get into virtual reality. It’s lightweight, wire-free and therefore easy to carry around and features a crystal-clear high definition screen. There’s also no need to connect up a console or PC – as long as you’ve got a wireless internet connection and a Facebook account to can log in with, you’re good to go out of the box.
Lego creator 10272 Old Trafford - Manchester United: Was £249.99, now £199.99, Johnlewis.com
Now this one is niche, so we wouldn’t recommend adding it to your bag unless you’re absolutely certain that the recipient you have in mind is a Manchester United supporter – that would make for one awkward Christmas morning. But if they are, good news: at 20 per cent off, this mega Lego set is quite the mammoth gift. Containing 3,897 pieces alongside minifigures such as Sir Alex Ferguson and the United Trilogy, the 18.5cm high, 47cm long and 39cm wide Old Trafford replica can sit proudly inside a football fanatic’s home.
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.

If you’re keen to give the usual chocolate countdown a miss this year, there’s currently 20 percent off Benefit’s the more the merrier advent calendar. And the more the merrier indeed – as hiding inside you’ll find 12 products, not least the cult classic they’re real mascara, precisely my brow and Benefit’s roller liner.

Bugaboo fox2 pushchair and carrycot, grey melange: Was £889, now £711.75, Johnlewis.com
With an easy recline, durable fabric and modern looks, this is a great offering from cool kids’ brand Bugaboo. This pushchair was so good that it snagged a spot in our round up of the best all-terrain strollers, with our tester saying it “handles busy streets and tight supermarket aisles with ease, letting us push one-handed through the shop”. Their only qualm? It’s a shame to get it muddy.
All Saints dalby leather jacket: Was £319, now £209.30, Johnlewis.com
“The phrase ‘cult brand’ gets thrown around a lot in the fashion industry, but there truly is no better label than All Saints when it comes to investing in a leather jacket that’s made to last,” noted our writer when they reviewed the balfern in our guide to the best leather jackets. It is a “bestseller and for good reason too”, adding that “it’s made from a soft leather and is finished with the typical silver hardware you’d expect from a biker jacket”. And it’s now nearly 35 per cent off.

First gracing our living rooms last year, this high-performance smart bike was crowned best buy in our edit of the best exercise bikes, where our tester described it as “a sleek and stylish machine with a fairly modest footprint...”. Appreciating how easy the on-screen metrics were to read and understand, they also noted the bike’s sturdiness, and said: “The bike was nice and stable too, even when we were really going for it.” When you download the Apex app and start a subscription, you’ll also find hundreds of live spin classes and soundtracks to choose from – great if you need a bit of motivation to supercharge your session.

Much more than just a fitness tracker, it’s also got workout modes, an ECG sensor, sleep tracking and features including Spotify and contactless payment capabilities. “It’s lightweight, durable and sophisticated, a fitness-focused wearable that still packs impressive lifestyle tech into its streamlined design,” they added.

Theragun elite therapy massager: Was £375, now £279, Johnlewis.com
Say goodbye to sore muscles with the Theragun elite, which currently has 25 per cent off.

John Lewis & Partners deluxe scooter, blue: Was £69, now £48.30, Johnlewis.com
Scoot over to John Lewis & Partners pronto, and you can get 30 per cent off this three-wheel drive scooter, one of the retailer’s own. Whizzing around on three wheels, and with the easy lean-to-steer set up and rear brake, little ones can safely work on their balance and coordination, while the handlebars can be adjusted to their height as they grow. And when they’re all scootered out, the whole thing folds away to make it perfect if you’re short on storage space or on the go.

You can’t ever really go wrong with washed black skinny jeans – especially this pair of sizemes that All Saints claims fit three sizes in one. We’ve reviewed them, and yes, it’s true. Our medium tester was pleased that “the jeans slipped on nicely, with minimal jumping to get over my hips, supported my bum and thighs and miraculously stayed comfy all day”. When it comes to buying jeans online, our reviewer said it’s usually “complete guesswork” – but “this pair really took the struggle out of the situation”. A winter wardrobe staple, we reckon these would pair well with a heavy-knit jumper, gold hoops and chunky black boots.

BaByliss 7785U Japanese steel hair clippers: Was £99.99, now £49.99, Johnlewis.com
