Still got Christmas shopping to do? According to research for analysts KPMG, 35% of those hunting for bargains on Black Friday are after gifts for others - here are some of the best deals we've been able to find in today's flash sales.
Xbox One S console with 3 games for £119 at Smyths (£80 off RRP)
It's a cliche, but once kids get to a certain age then a games console is going to trump whatever other carefully-thought-out gift you may be considering. The One S is the entry-level console in Microsoft's range but comes with a 1TB hard drive and download codes for Minecraft, Sea of Thieves and Fortnite.
Paw Patrol Skye's Ultimate Rescue Helicopter £19.99 at The Entertainer (half price)
If your household is anything like mine you'll know that for very young children, the Paw Patrol pups are the biggest celebrities on the planet. With that in mind this playset, which includes Skye and Marshall figures but has room for all 6 to come aboard at once, is well worth a look at this price. The propeller moves, the lights flash and of course it makes lots of noise - so while parents may be less keen, it's the ideal gift if you're looking to cement your place as a young fan's favourite aunt or uncle.
25% off everything at Molton Brown
When it comes to luxury bath products Molton Brown are in a league of their own. Their posh smellies don't come cheap, though, so today's offer of 25% off everything (except gift cards) on their website represents quite a decent saving. If you're stuck for a failsafe Christmas present, look no further.
Garmin Forerunner 735XTT watch £149.99 at Amazon (half price)
For the fitness nut in your life. Sports watches have come a long way in the last 10 years and this was top of the range not so very long ago. With GPS and a built-in heart rate monitor and water resistant to 50m, it'll track running, cycling or swimming activities as well as your everyday activity.
Shark upright bagless vacuum cleaner £139 at Currys (half price)
Okay, so this one probably isn't going to be a present - but the Shark has replaced the Dyson as the hipster vacuum cleaner of choice, so we couldn't pass this one up. It has some kind of patented doohickey that keeps allergens out of the air in your home, it says here.
