It doesn't seem as big news this year, which is really surprising with everyone stuck in lockdown but we are starting to see Black Friday offers coming out. I've always been a bit sceptical about the true value of these, but I'll leave it to Lizzie to explain in more detail at the weekend. Look out for her email on Saturday morning.

Rather than give anything away now, I'll just say that I prefer comping and getting things for free like...

Black Friday was meant to be a great day to get tech cheap, but how about for free instead! Lizzie has let me share this great example of the various tech prizes she is always finding with Coffee Break Winner...

And if you want to get a head start on Advents this year, then Nintendo are celebrating 35 years of Super Mario with a daily competition that runs until the 21st December. They haven't said what all the prizes will be but so far they have had a Super Mario games 80s pin sent and a LEGO Super Mario 2020 full assortment on offer.

I can't quiet believe Advents have come around so soon, with lockdown it seems like time has frozen still at points this year, but somehow, we have drifted to the end of 2020 and I'm not sure how. If you haven't done Advent Competitions before they are great fun, and if you are an old hand then get ready, here they come again. I'll let you know more about our plans next week.

Stay safe and good luck.
