Black Friday is just around the corner, and savvy shoppers are gearing up for a bonanza of discounts on November 29. Retailers are already rolling out early deals ahead of Black Friday, with a plethora of early bird bargains ripe for the picking.

For those looking to maximise their savings, discount websites are buzzing with even more spectacular deals during this period. Groupon, in particular, is showcasing an extensive selection of products and experiences that could see you wrapping up your Christmas shopping in one fell swoop. To give you a taste of the potential savings, let's delve into some of the standout offers available.

In a stunning Black Friday coup, customers can nab Snow Paw's luxurious Sheepskin Slippers for £22, slashed from the original price of £50, which translates to a whopping 56 percent off. Available in UK sizes 3-8 and in colours including chestnut, coffee, and sand, these slippers have already been snapped up by over 1,000 eager buyers.

Touted to envelop your feet in warmth and provide enduring comfort for daily wear, these slippers boast a suede exterior paired with a snug sheepskin lining – perfect for indoor and garden use, making them an excellent Christmas gift choice, reports The Mirror.

On Snow Paw's own website, a satisfied customer raved: "Just tried another make, and back I come to these, lovely cosy, warm and last reasonably well."

Despite the overwhelming positive feedback, a rare critical review on Amazon pointed out an issue with the "sole collapsing" on one of the heels.

If you're seeking a festive outing rather than gifts, consider taking advantage of reduced entry to a Christmas Fair with various location options. Opt for the Christmas Fair at Ascot or the Great Yorkshire Christmas Fair and select from multiple dates.

A family ticket for four is now half-price at just £10, down from £20, offering a 50 percent saving. Groupon announces: "Choose from a range of dates and locations to visit our Christmas Fair. Each ticket provides access to a variety of holiday-themed attractions, including markets, entertainment, and seasonal treats."

"Enjoy a day of festive joy at a location and time that best fits your plans. Our goal is to offer a convenient and enjoyable experience for everyone."

To date, the offer has received a five-star rating from one individual, with no negative feedback reported thus far.

Groupon boasts an impressive TrustPilot score, securing a 4 out of 5 stars based on nearly 23,000 reviews. "Good discount on the product I purchased. Excellent communication from the third party. I would recommend it to anyone interested in their products. Third time I've used Groupon, no issues," reads a glowing five-star review.

Another satisfied customer remarks: "Really easy transaction. Bought discounted tickets and printed them to bring along to the event. Saved over 50% of the full ticket price. I love a Groupon! " Yet another adds: "Love Groupon for last-minute gifts or new places to try. Whether it's a 60-minute massage or a 5-course tasting menu, and everything in between! ".

Negative feedback often targets third-party sellers who fail to meet expectations through Groupon. One three-star review stated: "[The] item I bought would not download, the supplier was very unhelpful and abrupt and promised a refund. I'm still waiting 15 days later as they are not responding to Groupon."

Some customers have also complained about the difficulty in contacting Groupon's customer service when issues with third parties arise: "So hard to find customer services contact, almost impossible, so stuck when we need them."

Groupon is not the retailer who has unveiled substantial Black Friday savings ahead of the official date of the sale (November 29). Shoppers can also already bag a bargain with brands including Amazon, Antler, Boots, Debenhams, Dunelm, Dyson, Emma, Ninja, Simba, Shark, Sky, Virgin Media and more.
