As Father's Day approaches, this huge discount is ideal for those doing last-minute gift shopping
Father's Day is just around the corner, and for shoppers hoping to pick up more than a pair of socks or a new aftershave, the Debenhams summer sale has plenty of options to make dad happy.
One of the showstoppers of the seasonal sale is a huge 87% off the STÜHRLING Original Ultima Watch, now £86.25 instead of its £660 retail price. That's a mammoth saving of over £570, making it the perfect bargain for a dad who loves luxury.
Its sleek design features a durable stainless steel case, a black dial with crisp white hour markers that make it look just as good in the office as it does out for dinners in the evenings or for weekend events. The sleek timepiece strikes the perfect balance between classic elegance and sporty functionality.
Beyond its good looks, the chronograph function makes it easy to measure elapsed time, whether timing a run, a round of golf, or keeping track of a busy day. The watch also boasts a handy date display and water resistance of up to 50 meters.
Powered by precise quartz movements, this watch offers accuracy and dependability without the hefty price tag we'd expect.
Alternatively, for the grillmaster dad ready to fire up the BBQ this summer, the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub, £139.99, is a game-changer. The clever gadget connects to phones and monitors the readiness of meat in real time.
For the active dad who loves to stay on top of his fitness goals, the Gymproluxe Original Portable Gym is an ideal choice available at Amazon, priced at £195.95. With a compact and versatile system, customers can perform a full range of resistance exercises anywhere.
Elsewhere, Beaverbrooks has some great offers on designer watches for those who are after more discounted timepieces. This includes the Gucci G-Timeless 38mm Men's Watch - now £950, was £1,140. It has a silver dial with a steel bracelet.
The Stuhrling 3960 Chronograph Watch has been awarded four out of five stars online. One review shared: 'Excellent value for money, very smart-looking watch.'
A second shopper wrote in a five-star review: 'I bought this for my son, he couldn't believe how much I got it for! It suits everything he wears and is so smart-looking.'
A third buyer said: 'Very smart watch, it looks the part and feels comfortable.' However, some shoppers weren't as pleased with the design; one comment read: 'The dial doesn't look as blue as the photos.'
The Stuhrling 3960 Chronograph Watch is available at Debenhams for 86.25 from its original £660 price tag online.

Black Friday TV deals UK 2025: what to expect this November

BLACK Friday officially kicks off at the end of November, and there'll be plenty of TV deals to choose from. During the shopping event, you'll see TVs on sale at all the major retailers, including Amazon, Currys, and John Lewis. 1 If there's any time to go hunting for a discounted TV, it's Black Friday. But with hundreds of sets on sale, the sheer choice can be overwhelming, and a TV is something you'll want to invest in wisely. Luckily, we're here to pick out the very best deals, be it a 32-inch set or an epic 75-inch cinematic screen. We suspect the biggest discounts will arrive on the big day itself, but that doesn't mean you can't save ahead of the Black Friday event. When is Black Friday 2025? Black Friday falls on November 28, 2025. As ever, it's the day after Thanksgiving - not something that counts much here in the UK, of course. Black Friday was originally an American invention, before gaining popularity in the UK in the last couple of decades. Now the sale period stretches out far longer, and you can expect to see deals throughout November. Are TV retailers taking part in Black Friday this year? Yes, without a doubt, many TV retailers will be launching Black Friday sales. Here's a list of stores offering the best Black Friday deals on TVs from top brands like LG, Samsung, and Sony. You'll find that these retailers often match each other's prices, with Amazon frequently undercutting its rivals by £1. What to expect from the TV Black Friday sale 2025 If you're thinking of buying a new television, Black Friday is a great time to get a top TV for less. You should find all sizes and price points covered in the sale, and we're confident you'll find a deal that's right for your needs, whether you've got your heart set on a top-of-the-line OLED or an entry-level 4K TV. Doing your research before buying ensures you'll end up with the best deal for you. What was in the TV sale last year? We found several fantastic TV deals during Black Friday 2024. As you can see below, some prices have risen since last year, some have fallen further, and some have stayed the same. 32-inch TV deals Fire TV 32-inch 2-Series HD smart TV, £179.99 (was £249.99) from Amazon - buy here TCL 32-inch Full HD Fire TV, £129 (was £179) from Very - buy here Hisense 32-inch Smart HD Ready LED TV, £149 (was £179) from Currys - buy here LG 32-inch LED HDR HD-Ready Smart TV, £169 (was £249) from Very - buy here Panasonic 32-inch LED HDR Full HD 1080p Smart TV with Freeview Play, £229 (was £279) from John Lewis - buy here 43-inch TV deals Sony Bravia 43-inch LED Smart TV 4K HDR, £498 (was £699) from Amazon - buy here Hisense 43-inch 4K HDR Smart TV, £229 (was £429) from Very - buy here Panasonic 43'' LED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart Fire TV with Freely & Dolby Atmos, £499 (was £699.99) from John Lewis - buy here Samsung 43-inch Neo QLED 4K HDR Smart TV 2024, £799 (was £999) from Currys - buy here 50 to 55-inch TV deals LG 55-inch OLED evo 4K HDR Smart TV 2024, £1,199 (was £1,899) from Currys - buy here Hisense 50-inch 4K HDR, Smart TV, £279 (was £499) from Very - buy here Fire TV 55-inch Omni QLED series 4K UHD smart TV, £519.99 (was £749.99) from Amazon - buy here 65-inch TV deals 70 to 75-inch TV deals Sharp 70-inch UHD 4K TiVo Smart TV with Freely, £489 (was £649) from Very - buy here LG LED UR78 75" 4K Smart TV 2023, £725 (was £1,099) from Very - buy here Hisense 75-inch Entry QLED 4K HDR, Smart TV, £748 (was £1,399) from Very - buy here Samsung 2023 75-inch UHD HDR Smart TV, £749 (was £1,299) from Amazon - buy here When is Cyber Monday 2025 and are TV retailers taking part? This year, Cyber Monday lands on December 1, and several TV retailers are expected to participate. However, if you're after a particular TV bargain, it's better not to wait until Cyber Monday in the hope prices will drop further, as you may risk missing out. The best deals are usually available on Black Friday itself. How much does TV shipping cost? Delivery costs may vary depending on factors such as the size of the TV, the retailer it was purchased from, and the selected courier service. TV delivery costs generally range from £20 to £100 or more. However, during major sales events and seasonal promotions, some retailers may offer free shipping on select TV sets, so it's always worth keeping an eye out for extra perks. Do TV retailers offer any other discounts? Looking for additional discounts? It's a good idea to shop around. Major retailers like Amazon, Currys, and John Lewis hold frequent sales throughout the year. You can also take advantage of voucher codes and exclusive membership discounts. When do the Black Friday TV deals end? In theory, the big sale runs for four days, often referred to as 'Cyber Weekend'. It runs from Black Friday to the following Cyber Monday, but that's just on paper. In reality, the sale has morphed into a huge month-long retail event, starting much earlier and ending much later. The caveat here is not to let the grass grow under your feet, if there's a good deal, it'll only last as long as the stock does, and once it's gone, it's gone. So, you need to be smart about finding a great deal at the right time - either go for it early, if you find the TV you want, or gamble and wait it out to bag a deal right at the end. Either way, make sure you shop around and compare prices. When do TV Cyber Monday deals end? On Cyber Monday, deals are usually up for grabs until midnight. In recent years, some retailers and brands have extended their sales to cover the entire week. It's well worth having another look to check if you can spot any extra discounts for your last-minute shopping. What is a smart TV? A smart TV is a traditional-looking television that comes with built-in internet. Essentially, it lets you do some of the things you'd be able to do from your PC, but by using a remote control or a smartphone app, rather than a keyboard. The biggest selling point these days is the integration of streaming platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Paramount. You can also browse the web and access the likes of YouTube with just a click of a button. Which smart TV is best? By our estimates, Sky Glass is one of the best smart TVs on the market. You can find out more from our tech editor's Sky Glass review. Sky Glass is a 4K, QLED TV that doesn't need a satellite dish, and much like a regular smart TV, the Glass can connect directly to the internet and let you stream a wide variety of channels. Alongside Sky Glass, there's also Sky Q - a set-top box offering multiple services integrated with smart TV features and Ultra HD support. Major brands like LG, Samsung, and Sony also sell smart TVs, and during Black Friday, you can guarantee to see discounts on them. How much electricity does a TV use? The amount of electricity a TV consumes will depend on its size and energy rating. It's unlikely to be a surprise that the bigger the TV, the more electricity it will use. To get a rough idea of electricity use, look at the kWh/1000h number. This will show you how much it costs to run the TV for a year. 1,000 hours per year is equivalent to two- three hours a day or 19 hours a week. If you want to reduce your TV's energy consumption, we recommend setting the brightness control to automatic. It's also worth setting a sleep timer. That way, it will automatically power off if it hasn't been used for a few hours. Is Black Friday a good time to buy a TV? Tech products play a major role in Black Friday sales, and you'll often find enormous discounts on televisions. Late November is the perfect time to pick up a great TV for less than usual, and our advice is to hold off upgrading until then. That said, it's not the only time of year to bag a bargain. Amazon Prime Day (both in July and October) offers members access to decent TV deals. Should I wait until Black Friday to buy a TV? Definitely! Unless that is, you're in dire need of a new television because your existing TV has stopped working. Retailers save their best discounts until Black Friday rolls around, knowing that's when shoppers will be on the lookout for premium deals. Whether you're looking for a TV to watch over the festive season or you're on the hunt for a Christmas gift for the kids, you're going to get more bang for your buck shopping during the Black Friday sales. Should I buy a TV on Black Friday or wait for Cyber Monday? If you see an amazing TV deal on Black Friday, and one that's the right screen size and budget for you, we suggest you don't hang about until Cyber Monday. If it's a genuinely good price drop, it could easily sell out. On top of that, Cyber Monday isn't the standalone event that it was historically. Traditionally, it's a day of online-only deals, in contrast to the in-store aisle-dashing on Black Friday itself. However, these days, with online shopping booming, there's very little difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. You might find a final wave of TV deals on the latter day - but if we're being honest, it will likely be a last-gasp stock push from the retailers and we don't think it's worth banking on. How much can I save on a Black Friday TV deal? If you look at the Black Friday TV deals from previous years, you'll see big savings across a wide range of products. If you're buying a cheaper TV, you could still save around £180 on a set costing £369, right up to a huge saving of £1,200 on a more expensive £2,299 TV. That's why it is worth shopping around on Black Friday to get the very best deal for you. Are TVs really cheaper on Black Friday? You better believe it, of all the dates in the sales calendar, it's Black Friday where you'll see the best savings on TVs. That being said, there are so many price drops out there during Black Friday that it's important to separate the good ones from the mediocre ones. Luckily, we feature only the very best TV deals on this page, so be sure to bookmark it and keep returning to see all the latest offers. What kind of Black Friday TV deal should I buy? That depends on what you're looking for. There are high-end TVs with cutting-edge screens and exciting smart features, and if you buy top-of-the-range, you're likely to make big savings too. At the other end of the scale, you'll find savings on cheaper TVs, which are still fantastic to watch all your favourite programmes on, just without some of those extra features. The important thing is to have a strong idea of expectations and budget. Then, on Black Friday itself, compare all of the available deals before making a purchase. How to measure a TV When we talk about TV measurements, whether that's 32 inches, 43 inches, 50 inches, or bigger, we mean the size of the screen between the two diagonally opposite corners. It's an industry standard to measure the screen this way, and brands always list the diagonal screen size. If you want to know how large your TV is, or how much space you have for a TV, it's fairly easy to work out with a tape measure. Simply check the height and width, and don't forget about the depth, especially if you're planning to position your TV on a cabinet or shelf.

Furious Boohoo and Debenhams customers waiting a month for refunds

Boohoo customers are facing unexplained delays for refunds of up to a month as the fashion retailer attempts to navigate financial pressures. In social media posts, dozens of customers of Boohoo brands, which also include Debenhams and PrettyLittleThing, have complained that they sent back goods as long as four weeks ago but their money has not been returned. One Debenhams customer said that she had not been given a £160 refund for a wedding dress, which had been returned to the retailer on May 1. She said: 'I have now escalated this to the Financial Ombudsman as this is utterly and completely awful. 'No other company takes over a month to refund returns, this includes companies who have to ship from abroad.' Another told Boohoo on X: 'Your service is disgusting! I ordered and returned some items within 2 days of getting them. My refund was supposedly actioned on May 20, we're now June 1 and still nothing? And supposedly no complaints procedure? Awful company!' A third said: 'I sent a return back three weeks ago, you've sent me an email to say you've had it over a week and still haven't issued a refund! Won't be using ever again.' On its website, Boohoo said that refunds for returns can take up to 14 days from the date goods were posted back. A company spokesman acknowledged that it was paying refunds more slowly than usual, but did not offer an explanation for the delays. Boohoo said: 'We're aware that some customers haven't received their refunds as quickly as usual and we're working to resolve that.' Customers are facing frustration at the same time as Boohoo is attempting to refinance its debts against a backdrop of falling sales and tough competition from Chinese rivals Shein and Temu. Boohoo, which has announced plans to adopt Debenhams as its corporate brand, is in talks to replace up to £175m of borrowing with new loan commitments that are expected to come at a higher cost. An agreement threatens to increase the pressure on the business, which has been making deep job cuts and in March reported a 16pc drop in sales. Clive Black, a retail analyst at Shore Capital, said customers and investors were likely to take note of the delays to refunds. He said: 'It will ring the alarm bell. Given that they are an online business with a customer base that is young and savvy on social media, it won't take long to get around like a virus. It can be a vicious circle. 'Businesses will use all kinds of tactics ... in terms of delaying movement of cash, but this is a big no-no. It can be very brand-damaging. It's a sign of weakness.' Boohoo declined to respond to Mr Black's comments and did not answer questions about its cash position. It did not comment on whether delays to refunds were linked to its financial challenges or say how long it expected them to continue. A spokesman said Boohoo was 'pleased with the progress we're making'. The company said in March it expected to report adjusted underlying earnings of £40m for the year that ended in February. It repaid £50m of a £97m loan in December using the proceeds of a share placing. Boohoo, which was co-founded by executive chairman Mahmud Kamani, now includes the labels Wallis, Burton, Misspap, Coast, Oasis, Dorothy Perkins and Warehouse, as well as Debenhams.
