The 2022 John Lewis Black Friday sale launched early this year - a first for the retailer. We, for one, are not complaining because there are literally thousands of excellent Black Friday deals to check out on everything from appliances to laptops at the retailer. For those interested in some early Christmas shopping, we've rounded up all our favourite early Black Friday deals at this retailer just down below.

We've listed everything into easy-to-navigate sections per category, so if you're looking for something specific, simply skip to the section that's relevant for you. For those in a rush, you'll find a quick link summary at the top of the page that outlines the sale and the kinds of promotions you can expect to find today. We'll be adding to this page regularly from now on as we head into next week, so don't hesitate to bookmark and check in for more updates.

This early bird sale is actually a first from John Lewis, which usually holds back its Black Friday deals for the big day itself (November 25th this year). While this is unusual for the retailer, we're not exactly surprised - Currys and Argos are two other retailers that have started their sales early this year also. Amazon also posted its first round of Black Friday deals back on Friday, so things are really heating up now.

Generally speaking, we usually advocate waiting until the big day itself to make a purchase, just in case prices go any lower. This year, that's definitely not the case as the vast majority of deals here are 'official' Black Friday listings - just posted early. In short, if you're looking to do your Christmas shopping now, don't hesitate to bag a bargain.

John Lewis Black Friday sale 2022: headphones

AirPods Pro (1st Gen): was £239 now £184 at John Lewis
Save 23% - Because the new version of AirPods Pro is out now, we expect stock of the previous model to hit super-low prices, which will make them a great deal. At the right price, their combination of sound quality, great noise cancellation and smart feature on iPhone would be very hard to beat. This price is the lowest we've seen over Black Friday so far, which is why we're highlighting it – but they briefly dropped to £160 a little while ago, and we're hoping they'll fall that far again. But if you find this price tempting, we wouldn't blame you for jumping in early!

JLab Go Air Pop earbuds: was £20 now £17.99 at John Lewis
Save £2 – These fantastic little true wireless earbuds were a stone cold steal when we first reviewed them, but thanks to John Lewis' early Black Friday deals, you can now save an extra 10% on these excellent affordable and comfortable buds, which boast Bluetooth 5.1, wearer-detection, three effective EQ profiles, on-ear volume control and a whopping 32-hour battery life. Bargain! (Oh, and if you prefer to shop at Currys, the deal's live there too!)

Jabra Elite 85t earbuds: was £219 now £169 at John Lewis
Save £50.99 – John Lewis has slashed the price of the Jabra Elite 85t true wireless earbuds to just £169, thus equalling their lowest-ever price. That's an impressive £51 saving on these top-quality buds. Available in 5 different colours and the recipient of a highly respectable four-star review from this publication, not only are the Jabra Elite 85t a stylish pair of earbuds, but they also provide excellent audio performance, effective noise cancellation and are a great alternative to Airpods.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro was £219 now £189 at John Lewis
Save £30 – The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro only arrived in stores on August 26, and this is the first time we've seen them discounted. They're small, they're comfortable, the two-way speaker design provides impressive and detailed 24-bit audio and the ANC is seriously good for this level. The one downside is the battery life, at only 5 hours from the buds and up to 18 in the case. Our advice? If you're a Samsung Galaxy smartphone owner, they're a no-brainer at this new low price…

Sony WH-1000XM5 over-ears: was £380 now £299 at John Lewis
Save £81 – quite simply the newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 were outstanding, the XM3 before it were excellent, and it'll come as little surprise to know that Sony's latest XM5 proposition are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a whopping 21% off! Have we seen them this cheap before? No, we have not – because these cans only launched in May 2022. Our advice? This is a top deal on a winning pair of new noise-cancelling headphones.

John Lewis Black Friday sale: FAQ

How did last year's Black Friday pan out?

Across the board, Black Friday didn't appear to have been as big of a deal in 2021 as in previous years. With 2020 seeing a huge reduction in footfall due to government restrictions, 2021 may have looked brighter on that front. But in the world of online spending throughout the month, sales fell to 26.9%, compared to October expenditure at 27.3% according to the Office for National Statistics.

This indicates many weren't enticed by the pull of Black Friday in 2021, whether because it failed to appear as big of a deal as in the US, or because of supply chain issues is unclear. Either way, many weren't prepared to wait for official Black Friday sales to begin, with John Lewis' not kicking off until the week of Black Friday itself.

Perhaps the most exciting area of the Black Friday sale for John Lewis is those reductions we saw across fashion and beauty, and to a degree toys, which made up that small 0.1% rise in spending. These are usually not the most popular items people tend to flock towards on Black Friday, but with offers like 20% off high-end fashion like Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani, there's a steal to be made on luxury garments and generous gifts in time for the festive period. With a 2.8% rise in sales volumes on clothing in the UK in November 2021, it certainly seems John Lewis' range of goods worked in its favour, with an overall 2% growth for non-food shops.

Considering you're almost guaranteed to get some of the lowest prices across the board on appliances and other tech, as well as toys from big-name brands like Lego, John Lewis' Black Friday deals are certainly a great option for last-minute bargains and casual pursuers.

What was on sale last year?

As a department store, John Lewis delivered discounts across a whole range of categories over Black Friday in 2021, from clothing brands like Adidas, Ralph Lauren, Barbour, and Whistles, to money off beauty products and cosmetics, including Benefit and Armani. Of course, with a big stock of gadgets and appliances, we also saw the typical suspects down in price, too, including goods from Apple, Samsung TVs, and coffee machines aplenty. It was also an opportune time to replace your white good appliances, like washing machines and fridges.

There were some excellent prices across the board, though admittedly they weren't ground-breaking. As is often the case with John Lewis, they rarely lead with the most competitive pricing. Instead, in line with their 'Never knowingly undersold' policy, many of the John Lewis Black Friday deals price matched what retailers like Amazon, Currys, and Argos were offering.

For those high-ticketed goods, John Lewis boasts the added reassurance with its extended warranties. While all goods offer a year for any malfunctions, all John Lewis electricals come with at least two years, with some extending to as long as five years. Add this to savings on some of the most sought-after items like the Sony WH-1000XM4 or the Philips Lumea Advanced IPL Hair Removal Device - a particularly in-demand self-care tool over the Black Friday period in 2021 - and many chose to go for John Lewis for that added reassurance.

What John Lewis Black Friday deals do we expect to see in 2022?

Stocking the latest gadgets with its magical extended warranty periods, we're expecting John Lewis to sprinkle some of its discount pixie dust on some of the new releases, as well as older models. Considering last year we saw savings up to £100 on Apple's latest models, including the MacBook Pro 2021 and £50 off the MacBook Air, there were also deals to be had on accessories, including the Apple Pencil and Apple Magic Keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

The Apple AirPods Pro were also a hot commodity, too, though we only saw them drop to £199. This certainly wasn't the cheapest you could snatch them up for, but it did come with the benefit of a whole 2-year warranty period. In more recent times in the January Sales, they've dropped to £189, which could see them cheaper again when Black Friday 2022 roles around.

As ever cordless vacuum cleaners prove to be popular during Black Friday, with names like Dyson and Shark receiving price cuts here, there, and everywhere. We'd expect to see £100+ shaved off the Dyson V11 once again, as well as some newer models getting some of that discount treatment.

There will also be a ton of John Lewis Black Friday deals across smart home gadgets from the likes of Philips Hue and Ring, as well as Black Friday mattress deals and more. With Currys weighing in, as well as Argos' Black Friday deals likely to be available around the same time, there will be plenty of competitive pricing on some of the most lucrative goods.
