The M&S sale is finally here and we're looking forward to shopping the deals across the many departments from womenswear to homeware.

An icon of the Great British high street, Marks & Spencer's offering is vast, running the gamut from bedding and furniture to beauty products, kidswear and women's fashion.

For anyone looking to start their Christmas shopping, now is a great time to consider everything from party dresses to Christmas tree decorations.

SHOP M&S SALE NOW

Although the retailer doesn't technically take part in the Black Friday shopping event, calling it their festive offers instead, it always delivers with some serious discounts in November, making it one of the most anticipated sales of the season.

The best M&S deals to shop now:

What to shop in M&S' Black Friday Sale

Fashion Deals

While we are still waiting for M&S to drop discounts on its own styles, the department store has already started the deals for some of its main brands.

Currently there's up to 25% off much-loved labels such as Finery, Ghost and White Stuff. Here's what we've already added to our baskets.

Furniture deals

Black Friday is an excellent time to invest in some new furniture. Even if there's just 20% knocked off a sofa or dining room table in the M&S sale, that could still equal to a couple of hundreds pounds saved.

Right now, there's a great offer on furniture over on the M&S site. It's called Spend & Save: you can save 10% when you spend £750, 15% when you spend £1500, and 20% when you spend £2500. Sounds good to us.

Homeware Deals

If you don't have big ticket items on your wish list, you can still make some easy updates to your home decor during the M&S sale: the British retailer has discounted up to 40% on soft furnishings, crockery and home accessories.

Gift deals

Marks & Spencer is the perfect one-stop shop for gorgeous Christmas gifts this year. Whether you’re looking for some beautiful bath gift sets, luxurious pyjamas or festive jewellery, M&S has it all.

Here at GH we’re all for getting organised ahead of the crazy Christmas rush, so we’ve already compiled a list of gifts we’re looking to pick up in the Black Friday sale period.

Does Marks & Spencer take part in Black Friday?

Marks & Spencer released a statement about its decision not to take part in Black Friday back in 2017.

Saying that, the retailer has dropped a huge sale that very same weekend every year since, so there's still lots of opportunity to make big savings at this time.

What should I look out for in Marks & Spencer's Black Friday sale?

This year, the deals at M&S have continued to be rolled out across the week – meaning there are plenty of items on offer.

Try to avoid making purchases that you'll only regret later on. Shopping online means you can avoid crazy queues and general chaos – and doing it this way will probably offer better size options and stock levels, too.

When is Black Friday 2023?

This year, Black Friday starts on Friday 24 November. Saying that, most retailers start discounting their products earlier than Friday – sometimes throughout the whole month – so stay alert throughout November to find the best deals, especially if you've got your eye on something in particular.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday actually originates in the US – it references the post-Thanksgiving sales. The annual event, thought to be kick-started by department store Macy’s, has grown in popularity ever since the ‘30s, but the term 'Black Friday' wasn't officially coined until later on.

It wasn't until 2010 that the trend took off in the UK, when Amazon offered the first Black Friday sale over here with online discounts and deals for customers on the same day as the sales in America.

Now, Black Friday is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) shopping events of the year, with most retailers taking part in some way. We only expect further growth as the years go on.
