Black Friday Fashion, Beauty and Gift Deal Special

Apparently today marks the "official" start of Christmas shopping season (the term "Black Friday" was coined in Philadelphia in the 1960s, if you're interested - it referred to the disruptive increase in shopping traffic on the first Friday after Thanksgiving). It seems the concept has now jumped across the pond, giving us good reason to be thankful for yet more deals and special offers!

I've rounded up some of the best deals available online this weekend, between today and "Cyber Monday" (most of these offers end at midnight on Sunday, but Monday is traditionally the busiest day of the year for online retailers, so look out for more offers popping up then!). From luxury choccies to outrageous beauty booty to lust-have party wear, I've got you covered (click on retailer names to hop over to the sites)...
