Weird Black Friday deals: the strangest deals we've found so far

All things weird and wonderful, when it comes to Black Friday

29 November 2019

Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to pick up everything you need for a discount – big appliances, tech, homewares and even household items like cleaning products and food. But that doesn't mean there's not some less obvious deals on the table

Black Friday is also a time when some people try and hawk some weird and wonderful items, hoping to capitalise on our capitalist mindset.

There are some pretty weird and wonderful things out there for you to get your hands on today – and we've collected the best of the bunch.

Now, we are not saying you should buy these but if we ever get invited to your house and there isn't a Trump toilet brush in your loo then we will be severely disappointed.

If you'd rather some proper products, then head to our best Black Friday deals page.
