How long does Cyber Monday last?
There’s just two and a half hours left of Cyber Monday, meaning time is running out to snap up deals across everything from tech, TVs, laptops and gaming gear to mattresses, beauty and air fryers.
Whether you’re after a Ninja air fryer, Shark cordless vacuum, Simba mattress, Lego set, Charlotte Tilbury products or new Apple AirPods, the biggest discounts will end this evening.
Though Cyber Monday marks the end of the Black Friday sales, some retailers extend their discounts into the week - this year, Ao, Booking.com and Tonies, among others, will continue their deals into Tuesday.
The famous Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm is less than £30
One of the beauty world’s most famous cleansers, Elemis’s pro-collagen cleansing balm has reached cult status for good reason. Now, you can pick it up for less than £30 in the final hours of Amazon’s Black Friday sale.
Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £48, now £28.08, Amazon.co.uk
While it needs very little introduction, it landed a spot in beauty expert Louise’s review of the best cleansing balms, in which she noted that after she’d removed the product from her face, her skin “felt soft and smooth, with a subtle glow that you often find after having a facial. From start to finish, the experience is a luxurious treat.” I’m sold and adding this straight to my basket.
The Oura gen 3 ring is on sale at John Lewis
The Independent’s fitness editor Emilie has tested dozens of fitness wearables - but the Oura gen3 ring is her favourite. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashians are big fans too, and now you can save £50 thanks to the John Lewis Cyber Monday sale.

“If you’re looking for a sleep tracker, activity tracker or just want to know as much as you can about your body, then the gen 3 Oura ring will tick a lot of your boxes, in one tiny package,” Kat said in her review of the fitness device. With six different coloured rings available (from silver to gold), it’s a more stylish choice than a Fitbit or Garmin. When Kat tested the device out, she was impressed with its battery life and sleep insights, as well as fertility and period tracking. Right now, you can save £50, thanks to John Lewis.
Byredo perfumes are on sale at Space NK
The Space NK Black Friday sale is your chance to score a saving on Byredo fragrances (the brand’s cult scents are almost-never on sale). Perfume aficionado Viola dubbed the gypsy water scent as the best in her round-up of Byredo fragrances, describing the brand’s original creation as a bestseller for good reason.
Byredo gypsy water: Was £150, now £120, Spacenk.com
“Designed to evoke the scent of fresh soil, deep crests and campfires, this sublime woody scent has everything a good perfume should: a complex character that’s still so easy to love,” she said. A rich base of sandalwood and pine needle is brightened by sparkling lemon and sweet vanilla. “The result is a concoction that’s cheery yet addictive, arresting yet not overpowering. And perfect to wear all day – and night – long.”
Cyber Monday tablet deals
If you’re in the market for a tablet, you don’t get much better than the Apple iPad range. Now, for Cyber Monday, tech writer Alex has spotted that the 2022 iPad has fallen to the lowest price he’s ever seen.
Apple iPad, 10th generation, 2022: Was £329, now £289, Amazon.co.uk
“The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad air, which usually costs £170 more,” tech critic David Phelan said in his review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion,” he added.

Get the Dyson supersonic hair dryer for less than £150
Dyson deals are rare - that is until Black Friday. Boots, John Lewis and Dyson itself have slashed their prices on cordless vacuums, air purifiers and hair tools from the brand. But, the cheapest deals can be found at Ebay. Case in point: the supersonic hair dryer is reduced to the lowest price I’ve seen.
Dyson supersonic origin hair dryer: Was £279.99, now £148, Ebay.co.uk
Whether you’re creating a big bouncy blow dry, a sleek straightened style or a curly look (it’s complete with a diffuser attachment), the Dyson supersonic adds extra versatility to your routine. IndyBest tester, Chloë James, commented that the hair tool left her locks “shinier, softer and considerably more manageable throughout the day”. She added that the gentle air attachment “creates a gentler airflow that still gets the job done fast”, and left her scalp “irritation-free”. Plus, each accessory clips on with an easy-to-use magnetic attachment system, making it foolproof to switch between them.
Use the coupon code “CHILLY5” for extra money off, reducing the price of the hair dryer down to just £148. You won’t find a cheaper price anywhere else.
Best Cyber Monday dehumidifier deals
A must-have during the winter months, dehumidifiers keep damp and mould at bay in your home. The best dehumidifier, according to our reviewer, is the Duux bora smart dehumidifier, and it’s now reduced by £50 at Currys (was £299.99, now £249, Currys.co.uk). Elsewhere, you can save on top models from Sharp, De’longhi and more.
Russell Hobbs fresh air dehumidifier: Was £51.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
This fresh air dehumidifier was recommended by our reviewer for small spaces and rooms up to 15 square metres, as it’s “so compact it will sit neatly on your shelves or sideboard, without you even realising it’s there”. Currently discounted by 25 per cent at Amazon, it’s both quiet and easy to use, according to our reviewer, as there’s “just one simple button to switch it on and get it to work”.

Save 24% on the Meta Quest 3
Big news in the tech industry last year, Meta released its much-teased Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset, with hefty improvements made to the Meta Quest 2‘s successor.
According to our tech expert Alex, there are better displays and graphics, a more comfortable fit and a slimmer design, and the introduction of mixed reality and full-colour passthrough. Now, you can save 24 per cent thanks to Amazon.
Meta Quest 3 512GB: Was £619.99, now £468.48, Amazon.co.uk
With the launch of the cheaper Meta Quest 3S for £290, Meta has repriced the existing Meta Quest 3 to make its original (and still best) VR headset more enticing. The 512GB model is the most storage you can get and has come down from £619.99 to £469. It features more sophisticated lenses than those found in the budget Meta Quest 3S, so visuals look a little sharper, and it’s slimmer too. In my Meta Quest 3 review, I called it “the VR headset to beat”.

A rare saving on a Jo Malone perfume
One of Jo Malone’s most popular scents (and one that’s rarely reduced), beauty writer Lucy has spotted the cult myrrh and tonka cologne in TkMaxx’s Cyber Monday reductions. Don’t waste any time snapping it up.
Jo Malone myrrh and tonka cologne intense: Was £150, now £109.99, Tkmaxx.com
With notes of vanilla and almond (atop the myrrh and tonka, naturally), it’s a warm scent that’s perfect for the season and, with a generous £40 off right now, it’s even better placed to make a marvellous Christmas gift – or treat for yourself (I won’t judge).
