A Dyson and a $557 Kitchen Aid: The 6 things you should add to your cart this Black Friday.
by Jessica Wang
We might not celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia but we do love a Black Friday sale.
But not all sales are created equal. Some offer you okay discounts – but really exist solely to tempt you to spend money – and then there are THE SALES in which not participating would just be… silly.
From $99 AirPods, to $899 return flights to LA and San Francisco, here are our best picks from the Black Friday shopping frenzy.
1. Apple, AirPods for $99.
You save: $150 off the $249 RRP.
Give yourself the gift of wireless listening – and a very bougie accessory – for $99. You’re getting over 60 per cent off regular retail price, and it’s a pretty great deal, considering the fact that Apple products hardly ever go on sale.
Now here’s the catch: to access this sale, you do need to be an eBay Plus member, which will cost you $49 for a 12-month membership. New members, however, can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
Their initial drop sold out in just 36 seconds, but there’ll be another release at 6pm Friday, and 10am Saturday.
2. Dyson, V8 Origin for $399.
You save: $350 off the $749 RRP.
There are two types of people in this world: people who have discovered the wonders of cordless vacuuming, and those who haven't. And trust us, the ease of not having to manoeuvre a cord as you go from room-to-room will change your life.
eBay is giving you the chance to own Dyson's ritzy, high-powered V8 Origin model for nearly 50 percent 0ff. Again, this deal is only available to eBay Plus members. So if you haven't already, take advantage of that 30-day free trial ASAP.
3. Return flights to LA, or San Francisco from $899.
You save: around $200.
Get 2020 off to a great start by booking in a cheeky holiday. See what LA and San Francisco have to offer with Air New Zealand's Black Friday sale.
Discount flights are on offer from January 21 - March 23, April 22 - June 15, and August 2 - September 10, and you'll get an extra 10 per cent off if you book with the code 'FLYDAY10' before midnight, November 29 2019.
4. Philips, Viva Airfryer HD9621, $199
You save: $130 off the $329 RRP.
From chips, to chicken, and even brussel sprouts, all you have to do is put your ingredients in the fryer, and the machine will do the rest. No prior cooking skills necessary.
5. Pick up some new clothes for 60 per cent off.
You save: 60 percent off everything site wide, including sale items.
Consider your summer wardrobe sorted with Nasty Gal's epic 60 per cent off sale. From that playsuit you've been eyeing off, to a new pair of sandals, or even an outfit for your work Christmas party, consider this permission to treat yourself.
P.S. They also stock some pretty fabulous Christmas costumes and hoodies for dogs.
From left to right: I'm Onto Utility Belted Playsuit, $33.60 (RRP $84), Time Heels Croc Strappy Kitten Heels, $36.40 (RRP $91), and Garden of Eden Plus Floral Dress, $43.20 (RRP $108).
6. A KitchenAid for $549.
You save: $400 off the $949 RRP.
Bring out your inner Nigella Lawson with your very own KitchenAid. There's a reason why it's earned a reputation for being the go-to mixer for professional pastry chefs and home-bakers alike. With the help of some handy accessories, you can even turn your mixer into a pasta maker, food processor, and ice cream maker.
If you buy one before Christmas Eve, Myer will even throw in an Ice Cream Bowl (valued at $119 RRP), so you can make all the summer sorbets and ice-creams your heart desires.
