These are the must-have items you need to buy for Black Friday 2019, plus the retailers that are offering them for less.

The Black Friday sales have officially kicked off. If you're keen to shop the biggest and best deals we've seen all year, then this is what you need to know.

The madness of Black Friday is really reaching a new level this year. Loads of retailers started their sales much earlier than expected, all trying to compete for the number one spot. And there's been some never-before-seen discounts that are way too big to ignore.

Whether you're just having a browse or you're on the hunt for something specific, we recommend checking out our round-up of the best Black Friday sales, and our favourite offers in tech, fashion, beauty and home.

Want to see tens of thousands of Black Friday deals? Head on over to Finder's Black Friday hub now, where you can start searching through our comprehensive list of sales. But if you're interested in seeing our top Black Friday picks, then keep on scrolling. We've got a pretty good feeling that these items are going to sell out fast.

1. Apple AirPods (2nd Gen)

Apple AirPods are easily the must-have item for this Black Friday. All the major retailers are competing for the best discount, so now is the time to grab them for yourself. If you're sick of untangling wires, Apple's AirPods are your answer. They turn on automatically and sync to your device as soon as you take them out of the charging case. Oh, and the case holds more than 24 hours of battery life.

Best deal: The stand-out AirPods deal has got to be the $99 offer at eBay. Stocks are very limited though, so if you miss out, we recommend shopping at JB Hi-Fi or Amazon Australia.

2. Dyson V8 cordless vacuum

Black Friday is all about picking up expensive items for a really good price. Dyson is completely taking over the vacuum cleaner market, and if you haven't tried one yet, we really recommend you do. The V8 model is the most popular pick, with a handful of retailer competing for the best price. It's easy to use and manoeuvre, it's lightweight and it's extremely powerful. No dirt will stand a chance against you.

Best deal: eBay is offering a massive $350 discount on the vacuum. But if it sells out there, we recommend heading straight to Bing Lee.


3. Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch is a crowd favourite for good reason. It doubles as a console and a hand-held device. You can play it on the go, but also connect to your TV. The sides of the Switch easily slide off to become two separate joy-cons, which you can use to control your games when playing via the TV. It's fun to use and it makes the perfect Christmas gift.

Best deal: JB Hi-Fi is offering the Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (download code) for just $399. That's the equivalent of getting a free game and $70 off the usual RRP of $469. If you feel like shopping somewhere else, you can check out more Nintendo Switch deals here.


4. Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens carries a huge range of leather and vegan leather boots – all differing in colour, finish and style. The brand is definitely on the more expensive side of things, making Black Friday the perfect time to grab a pair for less. A pair of Dr. Martens can easily last you years so there's really no excuse.

Best deal: A lot of retailers are offering up to 30% off the Dr. Martens range, including General Pants Co., eBay, THE ICONIC, ASOS and Glue Store. These are definitely the best places to shop.

5. KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer

If you're after a great kitchen appliance, you really can't go wrong with the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer. It comes with an attachment hub that allows you to mix together anything you want. Whether it be pasta, cookies or even sausages, the Stand Mixer does it all. And the best part? It comes in loads of fun colours including red, pink and blue.

Best deal: MYER is offering a massive 25% off the original price of KitchenAid appliances. It's also on sale at David Jones and Catch.

6. Levi's Original Trucker denim jacket

Levi's is a global leader in denim. Not only is the quality of its products outstanding, but it offers a great colour selection and a range of styles to choose from too. A great denim jacket comes in handy all year round, especially on a breezy night. The Levi's Original Trucker jacket is one of our personal favourites, but if you find it's sold out, any of the Levi's range is great so you really can't go wrong.

Best deal: There are a lot of great Levi's sales going on at the moment so you're in luck. Both THE ICONIC and General Pants Co. are offering 30% off. We also recommend checking out MYER.

7. adidas sneakers

adidas is known to drop some of the most iconic sneaker styles of all time. Its designs are timeless, while somehow still maintaining a fresh and unique look. We're obsessed with a lot of adidas shoes, but the NMDs are simply a standout pair. The sleek silhouette coupled with the Boost midsole means ultimate comfort. You can also get them in a bunch of different colourways.

Best deal: adidas is offering a massive 30% off site-wide. For more sneaker sales, we also recommend checking out THE ICONIC and JD Sports.

It kickstarted the trend of warm brown and burgundy eye looks and it offers a great range of wearable shades with a buttery and creamy formula that provides an intense colour payoff. You need this palette in your life!

Best deal: Catch is offering a massive saving, bringing the Modern Renaissance palette down to just $35. Yep, that's the best price we've see yet. Stocks are limited so get in quick! If you miss out, you can also grab this palette in Sephora's 15% off sale.

Reliquia Jewellery creates timeless, beautiful pieces. One of our favourite pieces has to be the Star Sign necklace. All the star signs are available, and you can choose your design in either silver and gold. These necklaces are priced at $149, so scoring a deal on them is essential.
