Our shopping experts found the best Amazon post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

There are discounts on Amazon year-round, so it’s little surprise the retail giant still has plenty of deals available post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

As the dust settles from the annual sales event, I’ve scoured the site to find the best remaining offers on big-name products from Oura, Ninja, Sony and more, as well as price-cuts on Amazon’s own-brand range such as the Kindle and Echo Dot.

Standout deals include £100 off the PS5 disc edition, now down from £479.99 to £379, and a similar saving on the in-vogue Oura ring. However, there are also more practical options on offer, such as the Dreamegg sunrise alarm clock and Shark stratos pet pro cordless vacuum.

Finding these deals among the reams of products listed on Amazon is no mean feat, however. As The Independent’s consumer writer, I can help with my years of experience discovering top discounts (and ditching any duds).

To start with, my top tip is to become an Amazon Prime member. New subscribers can sign up for a free 30-day trial, unlocking unlimited same-day delivery on eligible orders of more than £20 super-fast next-day delivery across the UK, Prime Video, and access to exclusive Prime member-only discounts.

Keep reading for my handpicked list of the best post-Black Friday Amazon deals, so you can get more out of your budget right now.

The standard PS5 has been reduced by £100 at Amazon. When tech writer Steve Hogarty reviewed the games console, he said: “The PS5 packs a serious punch, with performance and graphics rivalling a mid- to high-end gaming PC.” He added that its “catalogue of exclusive games – many of them truly unmissable experiences – gives the PS5 a slight edge over the (technically more powerful) Xbox series X.”

In his review of the best whiskies from around the world, John Clarke dubbed this bottle the best blended option. John described this tipple as a "smooth whisky with dried fruit and honey notes that are complemented by the very distinctive sherry bouquet." He added: "It’s a whisky that really does give you the best of both worlds." Right now, you can save seven per cent on the price of a bottle, thanks to the Amazon post-Black Friday sales.

"This is a curious little gadget that essentially gives you a portable soundbar for your tablets and iPads," said tech critic Alex Lee in his review of the best soundbars. "Sony’s HT-AX7 is technically a portable surround sound speaker. It looks a bit weird, with one traditional-looking speaker unit and two detachable discs that sit on top. They’re designed so that the discs (which are actually speakers in their own right) can be placed behind you, so you can have a 360-degree audio experience," added Alex. Right now, you can save 30 per cent on the price of the device in the Amazon Black Friday sale.

Amazon’s flagship ereader, the Kindle paperwhite, wasn't just dubbed the best Kindle by our tech experts, but it also took the top spot in our guide to the best ereaders. In his review, The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan praised the Kindle paperwhite for being “really exceptional”. A big upgrade on the original ereaders for only a modest price increase, he describes the paperwhite as “elegant, with the screen flush to the frame (the basic Kindle display is recessed behind the frame)”.

This price is ever-so-slightly beaten by Very (was £159, now £123, Very.co.uk), so if you want to save an extra quid, head on over there.

Here’s a fun one: the Ninja creami ice cream maker is currently at its lowest ever price on Amazon. Allowing you to make sorbets, soft serve, milkshakes and frozen yoghurt, this is an “impressive machine”, said tester Mollie Davies. “If you have the cash to spend, you’re unlikely to find a better-looking, harder-working or more fun ice cream maker than the Ninja swirl,” she said.

The viral Maybelline lash senstational sky high mascara is nearly half off at Amazon, which is the cheapest you’ll find it for right now.

This coveted wellness wearable is rarely on offer but you can currently save a whopping £100 on the device at Amazon. In his review of the Oura ring 4, senior tech critic Alex Lee said the main benefit, compared with buying the gen 3 version, is the "improved durability, comfort and accuracy”. Alex added: “This isn’t a generational upgrade over the Oura ring 3, merely strengthening its position as the best smart ring out there for sleep tracking and recovery.”

Amazon announced a series of updates to its entertainment line-up last month – including the unveiling of the new Fire TV Stick select. Already affordable, it’s just been given its first price cut. “The new entry-point for cheap 4K streaming, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select offers enough performance and specs to get the best picture quality from all the major streaming services without the premium price tag,” our senior tech critic said. Other retailers (including Very and Argos) have price-matched this, so you’ve got options.

The most premium buy in our best pizza oven review, Ooni’s offering doesn’t come cheap, so such a huge discount is definitely not to be sniffed at. Outdoor appliance expert Jon Axworthy noted that it “reaches temperature surprisingly quickly (in about 20 minutes) for such a big oven” and that it retains moisture, which results in “the best pizza dough of any oven on the market.” If that wasn’t tempting enough, Amazon has sliced 20 per cent off the price.

Launched in March, I’ve spotted a discount on Apple’s new 11th-generation iPad at Amazon. When tech critic Alex Lee reviewed it, he was impressed. “If you’re anything like me and want a tablet for everyday streaming, browsing, light gaming, calls and maybe a bit of writing, this is absolutely the one to get,” he wrote. And now, the tablet has been reduced to its lowest ever price.

Soon after the announcement of a new home security device, Amazon has discounted the 2024 Ring battery video doorbell. The design was dubbed the best budget buy by IndyBest tech reviewer Alistair Charlton, in his review of the best video doorbells. Noting that it “records at 1440p, which is a resolution slightly above Full HD, and has colour night vision”, he added that “it also has a lens wide enough to see visitors’ faces and parcels on the doorstep at the same time”. Again, Very is beating Amazon’s price on this product, but only by 99p (was £99, now £39, Very.co.uk).

The best coffee machine for long coffees, according to coffee aficionado Zoë Phillimore, is 34 per cent off at Amazon. Zoë said: “It’s incredibly easy to use: load your pod, shut the lid and press brew.” “I found the coffee produced was great for a pod machine – there was even a good amount of crema on top,” she added. Plus, it comes with a tasting pack of 12 pods so you can decide your favourite flavour.

Choosing between the various Echo smart speaker generations is tricky, but this deal could make the decision easier for you. Amazon has slashed its price on the latest speaker by 45 per cent – matching its Prime Day offer. “The Amazon Echo Dot is the baby in the Amazon Echo range”, senior tech critic Alex Lee explained in his review. “But don’t be deceived by its diminutive, spherical and slightly squat size – this speaker Alexifies every room in your home on a budget, while still delivering decent sound and good smarts.” Very is right on Amazon’s tail yet again, but only for 4p cheaper (was £54.99, now £29.95, Very.co.uk).

If you struggle with your sleep, chances are you need to give your pre-bedtime routine a bit of TLC – and This Works’ deep sleep pillow spray is the best way to do that. Our beauty writer Lucy has used the product for more than 10 years, and it's the ultimate hack to de-stress after a taxing day. “It's scented with relaxing camomile, lavender and vetivert, and you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in a spa after spritzing”. Even better, it's reduced by 40 per cent for Black Friday.

Landing a spot in home appliance writer Rachael Penn’s best microwaves review, she praised it as an easy-to-use option. “A total delight to use, this microwave has a chrome control panel that is clear and easy to see”, said Rachael. She was also pleased with the heat distribution that resulted in “perfectly cooked foods”. There are presets to choose from, and the timer runs up to 90 minutes. And now it’s reduced, it’s great value.

Fashion expert Lauren Cunningham dubbed Calvin Klein one of the best lingerie brands, and its men's underwear is worthy of the same credit. CK boxers are likely atop several of your loved ones' Christmas wishlists, but they don't come cheap, so now’s a good chance to snap up this stocking filler.

If you’re looking for “very good” noise cancellation, senior tech critic Alex Lee rated these headphones highly. In his review of the Beats studio pro, Alex said: “It killed most of the low-frequency sounds in the environment, from passing trains to the typing on a keyboard.” He praised the sound quality, too, calling it “crisp and detailed”. Now, you can buy them for £149.

Beauty writer Maisie Bovingdon hailed the Dyson airstrait as the best alternative to hot plates, in her best hair straighteners review, and thanks to this deal, it’s almost £150 off. “The two-in-one hair tool features a hyperdymium motor, powered by a 13-blade impeller, to provide a powerful airflow, to dry and style the hair with minimal heat damage”, Maisie explained, and the results were “more of a soft-straight blow dry than a poker-straight do”. Considering the hair tool is usually just shy of £450, I’d nab it with this deal while you can, if it’s been on your wishlist for some time.

The best for coloured hair in our best shampoo review, Color Wow color security shampoo has nearly 40 per cent off for Black Friday.“I’ve yet to find a shampoo that perfectly preserves the blonde in my hair, but this option from Color Wow does a pretty great job, said The Independent’s executive editor Annabel Grossman. “Almost 12 weeks since my last colour treatment and the blonde is still bright, with very little sign of brassiness”, she said, adding that her hair “felt clean and fresh rather than weighed down”, too.

If you want to pull out all the stops for your guests during the festive season, the Ninja slushi is sure to go down well. The frozen drinks maker can create slushies, frozen cocktails, frappés, milkshakes and frozen juice, with “impressive” results, according to our reviewer. “ The machine made a perfect Coca-Cola slushie. You have to mix it a little when it comes out of the machine, but it tasted incredible, particularly on a hot day,” they said in our Ninja slushi review.

It’s dropped to its lowest ever price on Amazon, but if you miss out, it’s being sold for the same price at John Lewis.

If you want to try one for yourself, our best value sunrise alarm clock is now even cheaper, with a 45 per cent reduction that brings the price down to £60. “Its 30-minute dawn sequence from warm amber to clean daylight worked for me consistently enough that I could use it as my sole alarm after a few nights,” said tester Caroline Preece.

This cleansing balm is a cult-favourite among skincare fans, makeup artists and celebrities. The balm is formulated with nine nourishing essential oils that look after your skin while removing makeup and impurities. Upon application, the balm turns into an oil, which works well to remove stubborn mascara and transfer-proof lip stains. With a few drops of water, it then transforms into a milk while supporting skin hydration and strengthening skin barrier.

Beauty expert Louise Whitbread has been using this cleansing balm for years. In her Elemis cleansing balm review, she described the formula as a “spa in a jar”. She added: “This cleansing balm lasts ages, so you definitely get your money’s worth.” Now, shoppers can save 30 per cent on the formula at Amazon.

In her Dyson supersonic nural review, shopping writer Daisy Lester said, “Dyson is arguably once again revolutionising the hair tool world.

Right now, you can save £20 on the PS5 DualSense controller for Cyber Monday on Amazon. In her guide to the best PS5 accessories, tech writer Jennifer Allen called the controller "arguably the best thing about the console". She said: “Besides looking and feeling good, it also has some useful features such as haptic feedback, which is a form of far superior vibration, and a set of trigger buttons that are much more responsive and tactile than previous PlayStation controllers.”

Most brands and retailers, including tech heavyweights like Currys, John Lewis and Very continue their Black Friday throughout the weekend and the following Monday, and Amazon is no exception. Its Black Friday week kicked off on 2 November and will technically end on 1 December. However, the site is likely to leave many offers live in the days – and even weeks – that follow the sales weekend.

Black Friday used to be all about lining up outside stores for early-morning deals, but nowadays it’s just as big online with discounts across everything from tech to fashion. Cyber Monday comes at the end of the weekend and focuses mainly on online bargains, giving shoppers one final opportunity to score deals on gadgets, beauty and home essentials before the sales disappear.

Like many retailers, Amazon often shows a price reduction against the 'recommended retail price' (RRP). However, this isn't always an accurate representation of what the item is usually sold for, and it can make deals look better than they are. That's why I use price tracking sites like Camelcamelcamel, PriceRunner and PriceSpy to see if the new, lower price is actually as rare as it looks.

At IndyBest, we’ve been covering Black Friday for years, so we have plenty of experience in finding the best bargains. We only recommend deals on products we’ve tried and tested, or those that come from brands we trust. Plus, we make sure to check Amazon deals against price-tracking tools, so we can tell you if you’re making a genuine saving compared with buying outside of the Black Friday sales.

With the mountain of deals available on Amazon (and other retailers), it’s important to make sure you’re getting the right product at the best price. The most important thing to know when shopping on Amazon is to steer clear of budget, obscure companies and instead stick to trusted brands. In our guides, we only feature products we’ve tested ourselves or those from brands we know and trust.

Similarly, it’s best to stick to products that are shipped and sold by Amazon. Items sold directly are more likely to arrive by the stated time. Avoid fake discounts by using price comparison tools, such as Camelcamelcamel. But you can rest assured that the IndyBest team tracks prices year-round, so we always ensure that we’re featuring the best possible prices.
