Last Updated 04/12/2024: this is the last day of the John Lewis sale. I've checked all the prices and found the final deals on offer for you to snap up.

The John Lewis sale is simply sensational. Their Black Friday sale ran through all of November and now, we're on the last 24 hours. This is your last chance to save on big-name brands in home, beauty, fashion, and fitness.

Not everybody knows this about woman&home, but our team isn't just made up of journalists, we are ex-industry professionals. Amongst our ranks, we count master perfumers, baristas, professional athletes, chefs, artists, interior designers, hair stylists and much more. 

When it comes around to sales periods, we make sure that all the experts are shopping their specialisms. So, if we recommend a vacuum, it has been put through its paces. If we tell you a candle scent is too strong, it’s because we’ve smelt a thousand. If we say a coffee machine makes a good coffee, it’s because we’ve tasted 10,000.

We've pulled out all the stops, asking our experts to recommend their favourite products in the John Lewis Black Friday sale. We've curated them all, right here. So, whether you're looking for the best fitness tracker, luxury perfume, early Christmas present, or best Le Creuset deal of the day, you're in the perfect place. Here's a curation of the best deals from some of the biggest and best brands in the world, hand-picked by us, for you.

John Lewis deals by department

While we have collated the best John Lewis discounts below, the quickest way to shop is to go straight to store via these links, below. You can use our John Lewis discount codes to shop further discounts.

Best John Lewis sale home deals to shop now

Back in 1864 when John Lewis began, the business was built around your home. Specifically in those days, fabrics. Over the years they have broadened their offering, but fundamentally, home is what made them who they are. So next time you pick out a pair of curtains from John Lewis, remember that you’re buying over 150 of industry expertise in that product, priceless really.

For a sale pick I think we can find something a bit more exciting than curtains for you, but it’s a “nice to know” bit of insight. There are some big discounts on furniture, as well as Le Creuset deals, air fryer deals and dehumidifier deals. We asked our Digital Home Editor, Tamara Kelly for her advice on what to shop right now.

Dyson V10 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: Was £449 Now £299
Best Dyson discount on offer

Dyson V10 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: Was £449 Now £299

Dyson rarely offers discounts but because of the competitive nature of seasonal sales John Lewis can't be 'knowingly undersold' so they currently have the best discount on this brilliant vacuum. I own this model and can say, it might not be the latest to the market but it is an exceptional vacuum that produces outstanding performance. I still audibly gasp when I see how much microscopic dirt it picks up around my 'clean' home.

Eddingtons Chilton Large Beech Wood Kitchen Butcher's Trolley: Was £1275 Now £637.50
Kitchen island

Eddingtons Chilton Large Beech Wood Kitchen Butcher's Trolley: Was £1275 Now £637.50

There are discounts, and then there are enormous discounts like this highly functional piece of kitchen furniture. Consider this the floating island to maximise any kitchen, large or small. The freestanding, moveable Butcher's block provides additional counter space for food prep, additional storage and even a place to pull up a stool for extra social space.

Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole: was £239 now £191.20

Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole: was £239, now £191.20

Everybody loves the luxuries of Le Creuset, but the price tag? Well, that's a different story. I've been following Le Creuset deals all through November and this December deal is a rarity.

Truly Glass Hurricane Candle Holder: Was £90 now £63
Chic lantern

Truly Glass Hurricane Candle Holder: Was £90 now £63

It was love at first sight when I saw this stunning hurricane lantern. The elegant fluted glass design welcomes a sophisticated touch to any room where candles play a part in creating ambience.

The best John Lewis fashion sale deals to shop now

When you think about fashion and clothing, John Lewis probably isn’t the first place that springs to mind. Well, maybe it should be.

Our Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr has selected some of these top sale picks from John Lewis' fashion department, with some incredible reductions on beautiful pieces from brands we all know and love. "Maybe I’ll regret writing about it as I watch all the best stuff sell out. Check out what I’ve found from Carvela, Reiss and various others."

Carvela Lovebird Embellished Bootie Ankle Boots: Was £169 Now £119 (save £50)
Party season ready

Carvela Lovebird Embellished Bootie Ankle Boots: Was £169 Now £119 (save £50)

These have got Christmas party season written all over them. A great way to revamp your favourite old LBD, add tights and these sparkly ankle boots then dance the night away! The sharply pointed toe is so chic, and the heel height is absolutely manageable.

Reiss Knitted Polo Top:was £148now £88 at John Lewis (save £60)

Reiss Knitted Polo Top: was £148, now £88 at John Lewis (save £60)

I love this because it's just so versatile. In the winter, you could layer a turtleneck top underneath for some light layers. Come summer, pair it with a white skirt or jeans. Talk about effortless dressing.

Reiss Lani Hybrid Midi Dress: Was £228 Now £158 (save £70)

Reiss Lani Hybrid Midi Dress: Was £228 Now £158 (save £70)

In this season's hottest hue, chocolate brown, this midi dress boasts a knitted bodice and a flattering floaty skirt. It's got 5-star reviews, and it's also available in ivory. It will look so expensive teamed with gold jewellery, making it a sophisticated alternative to sequins for the Christmas party season.

Nobody's Child Dina Flood Wide Leg Jeans: Was £69, now £41 (save £28)

Nobody's Child Dina Flood Wide Leg Jeans: Was £69, now £41 (save £28)

You'll no doubt know Nobody's Child for pretty floral midi dresses, but their denim offering is seriously impressive. Wide-leg jeans are a big trend for autumn/winter, and these have 1% elastane in the fabric composition. The sweet spot if you like a little bit of stretch

Reiss Olive Henley White Top:was £68now £38 at John Lewis (save £30)

Reiss Olive Henley White Top: was £68, now £38 at John Lewis (save £30)

Crafted from pure cotton, this easy simple top will be the foundation of all your best outfits. I love the clean, fuss-free cut. It'll look great with just about anything in your wardrobe.

Sweaty Betty Super Soft Flow Ribbed Yoga Leggings, was £90 now £44 (save £46)

Sweaty Betty Super Soft Flow Ribbed Yoga Leggings, was £90 now £44 (save £46)

With £46 off, this is one of the best deals on Sweaty Betty I've seen in the John Lewis sale. Very similar to the Power leggings (also reduced in the Sweaty Betty sale) in many ways, these are super soft with a ribbed feel, supportive with a drawstring waistband, and sweat-wicking, making them perfect for anything from jogging to yoga workouts – or simply lounging around the house. There's also a useful pocket for your essentials, which is a must-have for me.

Sweaty Betty Power Pro Running Sports Bra, was £65 now £32.50 (save £32.50)

Sweaty Betty Power Pro Running Sports Bra, was £65 now £32.50 (save £32.50)

You can never have too many sports bras, but high quality ones will usually cost upwards of £50. That's why this incredible deal immediately caught my eye, and it's still in stock in the majority of sizes. I'll be adding this one to my basket ASAP.

The best John Lewis beauty & fragrance sale deals to shop now

Maybe I missed a memo, but I am seriously impressed with the brands the John Lewis beauty sale has to offer. It feels comparable to Selfridges - in other words, the luxury market.

The discounts in this section are also some of the best I have come across, hence you’re going to want to keep reading. With Dyson offers and makeup discounts, there's plenty to be excited about.

It seems that their Black Friday beauty deals are already in full swing, you can still get great discounts on beauty tools and buys at John Lewis. Our Digital Beauty Editor Aleesha Badkar and Master Perfumer, Laura Honey, have selected these top buys.

Molton Brown Suede Orris Hair Mist: was £55 now £41.50 at John Lewis (save £13.50)

Molton Brown Suede Orris Hair Mist: was £55, now £41.50 at John Lewis (save £13.50)

When I’m thinking about buying fragrance, the first thing I do is turn to Fragrantica. This tells me the notes and shows me reviews from people who actually own it.

Scents are subjective, so the reviews can’t be taken to heart, but in this case, this hair mist comes highly rated. That says to me that this must be a good one. A great everyday alternative to a perfume that's much cheaper but can be trusted to last, it's a great new-season buy.

YSL Libre Intense:was £75now £60 at John Lewis

YSL Libre Intense: was £75, now £60 at John Lewis

This is, quite literally, the fragrance that everyone is talking about. Every time that I wear it, someone stops me to ask me what I'm wearing. The fruity, floral, amber secret is out. It's this deliciously rich and creamy scent. And it's reduced in the EDP, which lasts longer than an eau de toilette.

Dyson Airwrap™ Multi-Styler and Dryer Complete Long with Presentation Case: was £479 now £399.99 at John Lewis (save £80)

Dyson Airwrap™ Multi-Styler and Dryer Complete Long with Presentation Case: was £479, now £399.99 at John Lewis (save £80)

All I ask for this Christmas is a deal on one of Dyson's hair stylers, and John Lewis is delivering it. The beauty of this wand is that it dried and styles without using heat. It's great for your hair health (all our experts can testify to the glossy, damage-free finish). Get ready for salon-styling.

Best John Lewis sale fitness deals to shop now

It is never too late to start working on your fitness. Moving your body in any way, shape, or form, feels even better on the inside than any external results. If you want to get your sweat on, you have some fitness goals, or you want to get motivated, there are some really great products in the John Lewis sale.

We asked our Digital Health Editor, Grace Walsh, to suggest what to shop. She recommends keeping an eye on our pages for Fitbit deals and the best yoga mat, since other retailers have some serious savings available. If we're looking at John Lewis, there are still some impressive deals to be had.

Fitbit Charge 6:was £139now £99 at John Lewis (save £40)

Fitbit Charge 6: was £139, now £99 at John Lewis (save £40)

This is one of the cheapest Fitbits you can buy in the Black Friday sales, so you might be surprised that our experts think it could be one of the best ones yet. It's budget-friendly, simple, and slim. What more could you ask for?

NordicTrack GX 8.0 Indoor Studio Bike: was £799 now £499 at John Lewis (save £300)

NordicTrack GX 8.0 Indoor Studio Bike: was £799, now £499 at John Lewis (save £300)

Cycling is a fantastic way to exercise, but getting out and about on a bike isn't always practical. At-home cycling machines tend to cost a fortune, which is why we're jumping straight on this huge £300 saving whilst we can. If you've lusted after a Peloton but couldn't quite justify it, this is a fantastic alternative.

The best John Lewis electrical sale deals to shop now

I’m always a little cautious of buying big-name brands, not directly from the brands themselves. I tend to think, “What if something goes wrong? Will I have problems with a warranty claim? What if it breaks on the way to me? Will they replace it?”

When I buy from John Lewis, all of these worries disappear. In certain cases, I’ve actually bought products from them as a preference because they offered additional warranty beyond the manufacturer. With electrical appliances this level of customer protection is invaluable.

Bose QuietComfort SC Over-Ear Headphones: was £299 now £219 at John Lewis
Best headphones

Bose QuietComfort SC Over-Ear Headphones: was £299, now £219 at John Lewis

This is the only deal worth looking at in the headphone section. With Bose you know you’re getting excellence, and over £90 off is not small by any means. Apple headphones supposedly in the John Lewis sale offering 3 months of Apple Music, in my opinion wholly uninspiring, but if it floats your boat then that’s available too.

Bosch Series 6 WGG254Z0GB Washing Machine: was £649 now £499 at John Lewis (save £150)

Bosch Series 6 WGG254Z0GB Washing Machine: was £649, now £499 at John Lewis (save £150)

With this huge saving of £150 you could literally buy another washing machine, start a laundrette and sail off into the sunset by the end of the year. Bosch offers a 2-year guarantee, free UK delivery and an excellent energy rating this is a safe bet.

Some of Bosch's best features are included in this product such as; a 15-minute cycle, 1400rpm spin; and a delay timer. You’ll be the envy of the town.

When is the best time to shop the John Lewis sale?

Even though we're officially past Black Friday, John Lewis is keeping up their sale for one more day. This means that you can still snag a good saving at John Lewis, but you also hold all the cards. Deals might sell out, but I think it's in the brand's best interests to keep offering you sensational deals, hour after hour. 

I'm seeing some of the best deals of the year from John Lewis today, so now really is the time to get your Christmas shopping done early.

What is the John Lewis ANYDAY sale?

The John Lewis ANYDAY sale features own-brand products, often reduced to clear. The ANYDAY sale includes everything from fashion to homewares to luggage and is more than worth checking in on regularly, though deals will end when stock runs out.

Is it worth shopping the John Lewis Clearance Sale?

If you click through to the John Lewis Clearance Sale, you are likely to find yourself on the main John Lewis sale page, from which you can navigate to all the different departments' sale pages.

Does John Lewis have a sale on Prime Day?

John Lewis does not participate on Prime Day as such, though there is a specific John Lewis Amazon page with, when it is kept up to date, shows deals for Amazon products. Think: Amazon Firesticks and Amazon Alexa products.

This year, Prime Day was on the 16th and 17th of July and some high street retailers dropped their prices to match Amazon. Bear in mind, too, that Amazon has held a second Prime Day sale in October in the past year, and in 2024 also held a spring sale. We will keep this page updated in tandem.

When is John Lewis' Black Friday sale?

The John Lewis Black Friday sale is still running, even though we're past Black Friday. I've seen up to 50% on fashion, furniture, beauty and fitness gadgets alongside the promise that they'll refund any bigger discounts that they drop over the whole sales period. 

How long does John Lewis Black Friday last?

The John Lewis Black Friday sale ends today, and beyond that, until deals run out. Often, this means the sale period lasts from Christmas to Boxing Day and into the January sales period, though prices and product availability will fluctuate.

When is John Lewis' Cyber Monday sale?

The John Lewis Cyber Monday sale is always the first Monday directly after Black Friday, which means it falls on December 2nd 2024. Are Cyber Monday deals as good as Black Friday deals? The answer is that it very much depends on what you want to buy and product availability.

This year (2024), I saw plenty of deals stay the same on Cyber Monday from Black Friday, including a £300 saving on this NordicTrack Studio Bike and £150 off the Dyson V10 Cordless Vacuum.

How do you know you're getting a genuinely good John Lewis deal?

If you visit this page regularly, you will see that we monitor John Lewis sale prices regularly and throughout the year, but especially in the lead up to sales, so you can be sure we're always highlighting the best bargains, both at John Lewis, but elsewhere, too.
