Dunelm slashes prices by up to 75% in huge Black Friday sale – including winter gadgets and Christmas decorations
DUNELM has launched a major Black Friday sale, slashing the prices of some of its items by 75%.
The sales event will officially kick off on Friday, November 29, but the homeware retailer has already begun knocking down prices.
Black Friday -which takes place the day after Thanksgiving- has become a huge hit in the UK despite originally being founded in the US.
The event sees retailers slash their prices to give shoppers a chance to grab a discount before Christmas.
In anticipation of the big day, Dunelm has slashed the price of up to 1,700 items including children's toys and festive decorations.
However, you should always shop around for the best possible deal, as there is a chance you can find it cheaper elsewhere.

You should also only buy something if you were planning to and not just because it has been reduced.
With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the best items on offer.
