As it falls in November, using Black Friday to nab big savings on your kids’ Christmas presents is a no-brainer, and we’ve seen brilliant deals on everything you need for Christmas Eve boxes, stocking fillers as well as Mumsnetter-recommended Christmas presents for the whole family.

Designed with kids in mind, they’ve got tons of fun features, with the ability to edit images and videos, while nurturing their creativity. In fact, Mumsnet's editors have named it our best kids camera 2023.
The best news is, all three of the Kidizoom cameras are heavily marked down in Amazon’s Black Friday sale. There are three options to choose from, all with great discounts. Which Kidizoom will you go for?
Ours is a few years old, has been dropped a lot. Can upload photos, zoom, use funny filters, record voice clips. We liked it because it seemed really sturdy and it has lived up to that.
Was £65, now JUST £38!
Kidizoom Duo Camera
Kidizoom studio camera is good for stop motion and playing around with special effects. Certainly something she could do on a tabletop eg with Lego figures.
Was £70, now JUST £42!
VTech Kidizoom Studio
DS loves printing off the photos he takes of people as gifts. There's also a pretty cool comic strip feature. Because it prints in black and white the refill paper is cheap.
Was £80, now JUST £50!
Kidizoom Printcam
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.
