The Kindle paperwhite is at its lowest ever price
Bookworms, you can get the Kindle at its cheapest-ever price right now. From saving you space in your suitcase to helping you read with ease on the busy commute, trust me, a Kindle is stellar investment.
Considered the best ereader in our review, The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan praised the device for being “really exceptional (gaining the top spot in this round-up)”. He added: “The front light has also been improved recently, to make it subtler and adjustable in terms of warmth as well as brightness. Like the oasis, the paperwhite is waterproof – it’s able to withstand submersion in 2m of water for up to an hour.”

Save 33% on Crocs for Black Friday
Crocs are a bit marmite, but no one can deny their pure practicality and comfort (especially on holiday or in a festival field). Now, you can save 33 per cent for Black Friday.
Crocs classic, lilac: Was £45, now £29.99, Schuh.co.uk
Featuring in my review of the best women’s clogs round-up, the comfort of these Crocs eventually won me over. Crafted from a soft rubber-like material and the company’s own “Croslite” technology, the shoes promise to mould to your feet – and that, they do.

Looking for a heated clothes airer deal?
When it comes to doing the laundry in the depths of winter, there’s one appliance you may want to invest in: a heated clothes airer.

My favourite budget mascara is on sale
Maybelline New York lash sensational sky high mascara is one of my favourite budget beauty buys (there’s a reason why it went viral on TikTok viral). It’s also earned a permanent spot in assistant eCommerce editor’s Sarah’s make-up bag. Find out why in her full review.
Maybelline New York lash sensational sky high mascara: Was £12.99, now £6.49, Amazon.co.uk
Maybelline’s New York sensational sky high mascara boasts a uniquely designed brush that’s long, thin and densely packed with tiny little plastic bristles. This makes it ideal for getting to hard-to-reach areas and easy to manoeuvre from all angles with minimal mess. In Sarah’s in-depth review of the mascara, she raved about the tiny bristles that line the wand, which she found “helped comb through each and every lash – yes, even those pesky ones right in the corner”. You can pick it up for nearly half price right now.
