Wondering 'Does Next do Black Friday?' Well, you've come to the right place. In a bid to help you plan your shopping wisely, we're bringing you all of the top Black Friday deals as well as focussing on the most popular homeware retailers' sales. This way, you can figure out exactly where to put your money, and when the best time is to hit 'buy'.
Next homeware is a firm favourite on the Ideal Home team and seeing as the brand is known for their huge Boxing Day sale, you might be wondering if they're equally as committed to Black Friday, too.
Whether you want to stock up on Christmas decorations for less or want to make a saving on one of the best sofas, there's so much for you to get your hands on. And if you can save money, then even better.
Does Next do Black Friday?
Although Black Friday isn't officially until the 29th November 2024, most retailers have launched their sales early this year. Some by weeks and some at the very start of November. Despite some high street stores still holding out for the official Friday start date, we thought it was suspicious that Next hadn't yet launched any discounts, and we were right.
Next are tapping out of Black Friday deals this year - we're gutted that we won't be able to get hold of any bargains ahead of Christmas but this does mean that the Boxing Day sale will be bigger and better than ever.
Black Friday is the perfect time to treat yourself to something you've had your eye on for a while and also well-positioned for Christmas shopping, however sometimes the discounts aren't as substantial as you'd hope. By Next sitting this Black Friday out, we're hoping this means we'll be rewarded by big discounts after Christmas.
Does Next do Boxing Day sales?
Next is well-known for attracting bargain hunters come the 26th December and tales on the Ideal Home desk from pre-online shopping days confirm that the Next Boxing Day sale was a huge affair. For a long time, the Next Boxing Day sale would result in lines snaking around retail parks and 5am starts to be the first in the door, however, things have been a little different in recent years.
In 2021, Next decided to close its doors on Boxing Day to give staff a break from the chaos and instead took the Boxing Day sale online. In previous years the sale began online on the 26th of December and started in-store on the 27th of December, so we can expect a similar structure for 2024.
This means you can enjoy Boxing Day from the comfort of your sofa (a tin of Quality Street is essential), prep your basket online and be ready on the morning of the 27th to start shopping. It's the perfect solution for shoppers and Next staff.
