Black Friday is an excellent time to rattle through most of your Christmas shopping. There are incredible deals to be had on toys, kids' tech and board games right now, and if your DC happen to be ever so slightly Barbie-obsessed, we've got you covered too.
The ultimate in Barbie gifts has to be the Dreamhouse, and it's top of lots of Mumsnetters' shopping lists this Black Friday. However, it's worth noting that Barbie's actually got quite the property portfolio, with plenty of more bijou alternatives available if you don't have space for the massive 3-storey, 8-room mansion with its pool and elevator.
With more than 50% off right now in Amazon's Black Friday sale, now's the time to snap up that prime hot pink real estate for just £170. Here's what Mumsnetters think of the Dreamhouse, plus the best deals on smaller Barbie houses.
I can honestly say it's been fantastic. Played with daily, never fell to bits (easily wipeable too) it's definitely her most played with toy. She's 7 1/2 and it still looks like new, despite all it's been through.
Was £350, now £170

When is Black Friday 2023?
Black Friday 2023 is officially 24 November, but as we've seen in recent years, retailers tend to kick off their sales a few days or even weeks beforehand so it's well worth keeping an eye out for bargains throughout the whole month. During the sales event, MNHQ's deal hunters will be beavering away to source savings on products that we know Mumsnetters love and recommend.
