These are some of the top Black Friday deals
From ride-on cars to Barbie houses, there are heaps of bargains just in time for Christmas. Take a look at some of the best Black Friday deals for kids.
Australia’s biggest retailers are expected to see queues curling inside and outside shopping centres, as people come out in force to score bargains.
More than 40 per cent will be making purchases both online and in-store, with 36.7 per cent heading to brick-and-mortar stores only, according to the latest ShopFully survey.
“Shoppers will be doing their research, first turning to online search to compare prices and make sure they’re scoring the best deals,” Nick Larcher of ShopFully Australia says.
Kmart’s Melissa Machin says deals on home, tech, beauty and toys continue to prove popular.
“We have big ticket items such as Hot Wheels, Lego, Pokémon and LOL Surprise for the kids, an inflatable spa and 3m outdoor gazebo to get your place summer ready, and Amazon, Polaroid and gaming accessory packs for the tech head,” she says.
New research by Bunnings shows 31 per cent of customers are planning to buy Christmas presents during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, even higher amongst 18-34 year olds.
“With a later start to the warmer weather and many turning their attention to the backyard, some of our top picks include a bevy bar and a portable two-burner BBQ,” Bunnings’ chief customer officer Ryan Baker says.

With the cost of living putting pressure on Aussies’ pockets, eBay is offering discounts across a range of items like tech, toys, home and fashion.
Top products include the Apple Airtag and Airpods, and organic sheet sets.
Meanwhile, popular items at Amazon Australia include robot vacuum cleaners, Amazon devices, Lego sets and fashion from brands like The North Face and Lacoste.
Josie Barber will be on the lookout for Lego for son Flynn, and anything Peppa Pig for Lilah.
“For myself I would love to find an LED facial mask,” she says.
