Black Friday 2017 guide: Best Amazon deals

Black Friday is just around the corner, and while it inspires a lot of people to participate in the rush of the discount hunting and shopping spree, it can be troublesome and frustrating. This is especially true when one sees that a coveted item with a massive discount is nabbed by someone else who got to it faster.

This is why there are online shops which now cater to Black Friday shoppers. Shops like Amazon can save anyone the trouble of physical exertion while still offering the rush of Black Friday discounts. This guide aims to collate some of the best deals Amazon has on offer this coming Black Friday and Thanksgiving.

For those who need a new sound system to go along with their newly-bought and discounted laptops or high-definition televisions (HDTV), Amazon's very own Echo and Dot (smaller version) speakers are on sale, with the former having a 20 percent discount at £69.99 and the latter having a 30 percent discount at £34.99. Those who prefer headphones can grab the Jabra Bluetooth headphones – now just £29.99, previously £79.99.

Meanwhile, for those looking for a new phone on sale, smartphones, new models from Sony, Motorola, and Nokia brands are available on Amazon for 20 percent off. These include the new flagship phone from Sony, the Xperia series phones, which are in direct competition with Apple and Samsung.

For those who need a new watch or simply want to keep track of time in style, Samsung's new Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch has a whopping £100 discount at the moment.

Amazon also has something for kids in the form of the Fire 8 high-definition (HD) Kids Edition, which is discounted by £40, bringing it down to £89.99 from £129.99. A smaller budget version is also available in the form of Fire 7, now just £69.99 from £99.99. Good news is that if the kids break it, they'll replace it without any questions.

Apart from those, Amazon also does a daily "Deal of the Day" sale posted on midnight of each day along with several "Lightning Deals" which expire fast throughout the day, so customers are advised to keep watch.
