The best of the web: the biggest deals on Black Friday

Online shopping is still an activity that many gentlemen struggle with; the old fashioned amongst us have the archaic view that it should be reserved for ladies only. If there’s one day in the year that’s going to change your view, it’s Black Friday. Although the day is normally associated with mayhem, destruction and broken-hearted shoppers who missed out on that last bargain, it’s also the one day where you have access to some of the best prices on the web and can come away with deal after deal.

Although more commonly associated with Americans, Black Friday has slowly made its way across the pond and has now filtered into the lives of shops and shoppers around the country. It falls the day after Thanksgiving and on the last Friday in November (which also happens to be payday) and is essentially an opportunity for huge bargains everywhere .

Black Friday comes around once a year and it can be a bit of a minefield to navigate, particularly for a gentleman who is partial to a bargain or two. We’ve decided to make it easy for you and provide you with the best bargains on the web to prepare you for the weekend.

Amazon is the place to go for literally everything – but you already knew that. It’s said to hold one of the biggest Black Friday sales across the internet (last year they sold 5.5 million items on the day). The Amazon sale is on from now until Friday.

The department store is said to hold one of the best sales on the internet, promising massive savings to customers from both high-street and luxury brands. There’s a teaser sale on the House of Fraser website right now, but check back on Friday for even better deals.

ASOS is undoubtedly the place to head online for some of the best deals all year round – so imagine what it’s going to be like on Black Friday. There are rumours of a 70% off deal and if that’s not enough to entice you, we don’t know what is.

Topman is already the home of bargains, so imagine what Black Friday will offer? Some of the cheapest clothes (but most stylish) on the web – that’s what. Don’t miss out on this one, gentlemen – the sale has already started.

While this may seem like an odd company to bring into the mix, who doesn’t want to get their alcohol sorted for Christmas – and on the cheap, too?
