Is Cyber Monday worth it, and are the deals better than Black Friday?
With Black Friday over, you may be wondering if Cyber Monday sales are worth shopping. Easy answer? Yes.
With Cyber Monday tomorrow – Monday, 1st December 2025 – you may be wondering whether to expect epic price drops now that Black Friday has been and gone.
To understand how long the sales last, it helps to know when Black Friday 2025 ends, since Cyber Monday follows just a few days later. Cyber Monday isn’t quite the one-day event it used to be. Most UK retailers now start slashing prices well before December, with deals rolling out through October and November as part of wider Black Friday sales. The catch? Some of the most popular items – think premium skincare, hair tools, or home appliances – tend to sell out long before Cyber Monday even begins.
That said, Cyber Monday is still worth marking in your calendar. It’s often when online-only discounts drop, and prices on things like small appliances can dip even further. If you’re not too fussy about the exact brand or model, shopping for last-chance Cyber Monday deals could still work in your favour.

Is Cyber Monday worth it?
Is Cyber Monday still a thing? Yep! In recent years, Cyber Monday has grown to rival – and sometimes even outperform – Black Friday. What used to be a single day of online discounts has merged into a full weekend of savings, with major deals spanning tech, beauty, home appliances, and more. Because Cyber Monday is an online-first shopping event, it often includes exclusive web-only offers you won’t find in-store.
Many retailers even save some of their strongest discounts for Cyber Monday itself. That means you don’t need to rush into buying the moment you spot a deal on Black Friday. Instead, you can compare prices, track products, and still secure a bargain heading into December.
So, is Cyber Monday worth it if you’re eyeing a new Dyson hair dryer, a laptop upgrade, or the latest beauty tech? Absolutely – especially if you’re willing to wait for those last-minute online price drops. With Cyber Monday 2025 approaching, shoppers can still expect plenty of opportunities to save big.

Who does Cyber Monday?
Retailers and stockists take part in Cyber Monday, generally speaking, if they took part in Black Friday.
How good are Cyber Monday deals?
Cyber Monday deals are usually very similar to Black Friday offers, with many big-name brands – think Dyson, ghd, and Le Creuset – rolling out comparable discounts across both days. With Cyber Monday landing tomorrow, you can expect plenty of familiar deals to reappear.
However, while the brands may stay the same, the specific products on offer often differ between the two days. So if there’s a particular model or style you’ve had your eye on, it’s still worth adding it to your basket as soon as you spot a good price. That said, it’s smart to keep a little of your Cyber Weekend budget aside for tomorrow’s sale – just in case something even better drops.
Is it worth waiting until Cyber Monday to shop?
Cyber Monday deals offer one of your last big chances to save before Christmas, whether you’re finishing your gift list or finally treating yourself to something that’s been on your wishlist all year. And while there’s never a guarantee that Cyber Monday will beat Black Friday, the real question many shoppers ask is: is Cyber Monday worth it? If you spot a genuinely strong deal, the answer is usually yes.
Our best advice is simple: don’t wait if you spot a discount that looks great. The most popular offers tend to sell out quickly – and you’ll kick yourself if a price you loved disappears before you act.
What are the top Cyber Monday deals to look out for?
There's so much to look forward to in this year's Cyber Monday sale, with everything from luxury beauty to homeware hugely reduced. Traditionally, tech is the top buy of choice on Cyber Monday. So while bestselling products like the best hair dryers might have sold out over the shopping weekend, there's every chance more deals could land on Monday.
If there's a product you've been eyeing for a while and you've been debating the merits of one model or another - such as the pros and cons of the Shark Hair Dryer vs Dyson Supersonic - and have been put off by a hefty price tag, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday present ideal opportunities to nab a huge saving.
However, Kalpana Fitzpatrick, editor at moneyweek.com, recommends being careful not to "caught up in the hype." She says: "Before you buy anything, take a moment to stop and think about whether what you’re buying is a ‘deal’. Take a look at what the item costs on other sites to see how genuine a deal it is. And if you don’t need it and you can’t afford it, save your money instead." Sound Cyber Monday advice.
FAQs
What is Cyber Monday?
Falling on the Monday immediately after Black Friday, Cyber Monday used to be a separate shopping event just for online shopping. It also used to mainly focus on tech deals, like televisions and laptops. But as many of us now exclusively shop online, Cyber Monday has morphed into more of an extension of the so-called 'Cyber Weekend', with deals across a range of products often lasting for days even after Cyber Monday itself. That doesn't mean the deals are the same, though. Many retailers add more deals - and in some cases, better ones - on Cyber Monday.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday 2025 falls on 1st December. It always takes place on the first Monday immediately following Black Friday.
Cyber Monday has become a major sale event in itself, offering a second chance for bargain hunters who missed out over the Black Friday weekend. Created to encourage online shopping, it’s now officially the last hurrah of the Black Friday and Cyber Weekend sales, with last-chance discounts across everything from tech to toys.
