OODIE’S Black Friday sale is officially live, making it one of the first retailers to publish its November deals.
As we’ve come to expect from Oodie, there are some generous deals on offer.
The brand is also repeating its now-famous £1 Black Oodie deal, which sold out in 30 seconds last year, crashing the retailer’s site.
So, if you’re looking to snag a bargain, here’s everything you need to know.

What is an Oodie?
The Oodie became a sensation in Australia after its launch in 2018 and took the UK by storm during the covid lockdowns.
Its popularity shows no signs of fading.
The brand, which started with a small range of hooded blankets, is now a fully-fledged loungewear titan. Its products now include shoes, outdoor coats, dressing gowns and even pet clothing.
However, our hearts will always belong to the Original Oodie.
Its cosy, thick hooded design is perfect for battling the chill of winter, making it a cold-weather essential in our book.
That makes Black Friday the perfect time to purchase one.
Last year’s Black Friday deals were impressive; there was even an early bird offer where you could grab an Oodie for just £1, which is set to return on 6th November this year, followed by discounts of up to 60% across the site.
To sign up for the £1 Oodie deal, simply enter using your name and email address — then make sure you’re online when the clock strikes 6pm on Tuesday.
Oodie Black Friday 2024: early deals
Oodie began teasing its Black Friday deals last week, before November had even started.
The sale is now fully live, with 50% off sitewide, and the £1 Black Oodie giveaway, which caused chaos when it took place last November, has been confirmed for 6pm on Wednesday.
We don’t see the deals getting any better throughout November, although we don’t know for sure.
While that means you don’t need to rush into any purchases, we also wouldn’t be surprised to see popular items sell out, so if you’re after something specific, don’t dawdle.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of our top picks from the 50% off sale.
£1 Black Oodie giveaway
Sign up to the £1 Black Oodie giveaway before 6pm on Wednesday 6th November
Oodie introduced this element of its Black Friday sale last year, and after its emphatic — albeit slightly chaotic — success, we’re not surprised to see it return for 2024.
To get your hands on the bargain, you’ll need to be on The Oodie’s site at exactly 6pm on Wednesday, at which time the Black Oodie will have its price reduced to £1.
The price stay at a pound until the Black Oodie sells out. Last year that took all of 30 seconds, crashing The Oodie’s site in the process.
Only lucky people will be successful — none of Sun Shopping’s team managed to get their hands on one last year.
Oodie Original, from £32.50
Oodie Original, from £32.50 (was up to £75)
Fans of the brand will be pleased to learn that the OG Oodie has been included in its Black Friday sale.
Like everything else on the site, its price has been slashed by 50%.
That means prices start from £32.50 for core styles like the Grey Oodie and Avocado Oodie.
Meanwhile, licensed Oodies, which are made in collaboration with franchises like Mickey Mouse (pictured) and Lilo and Stitch, are £37.50.
Oodie Original Kids, from £29.50
Oodie Original Kids, from £19.50 (was up to £45)
The Oodie Original is suitable for most people, as one size fits all.
However, some kids may find the original can swamp them, which is where the Original Kids version comes in.
Designed for kids aged 7-13, It measures 75cm in length, while an adult Oodie is based on a 6XL hoodie, making it around 93cm.
The Original Kids Oodie is equipped with the same features as the adult version, with a kangaroo front pocket, long sleeves, plush sherpa fleece and hood.
Aussie Faves Top Pyjamas, £9
Aussie Faves Top Pyjamas, £9 (was £45)
Oodie has a variety of printed nightwear separates, which can either be worn on their own to bed or under an Oodie for extra warmth.
The pyjamas are sold separately as a t-shirt and shorts rather than as sets, which we prefer as it allows the wearer to customise their sleepwear to suit their preferences.
After all, some may prefer an oversized t-shirt as a nightie if they overheat at night, or to wear with longer bottoms instead of shorts.
The Aussie Faves top is emblazoned with foodie delights and has been reduced by a staggering £36.
Black Puffer Slippers, £29.50
Black Puffer Slip On, £29.50 (was £59)
After the success of its loungewear offerings, it was the logical next step (get it?) for The Oodie to give slippers a go, and we’re impressed with the result.
There’s quite a range, including sandals, short boots and ankle boots, but our favourite pair is this Puffer Slip on.
We’d hesitate to call them a dupe of the North Face Tent Mules because they’re usually more expensive, but at just £29.50 they’re an absolute steal.
Outdoor Oodie, £54.50
Outdoor Oodie, £54.50 (was £109)
In our Oodie review, our writer wrote that he was initially ashamed of his Oodie.
“However,” he wrote, “before long, I was wearing it on work calls, answering the door in it, and generally going about my daily business without a care in the world.”
He continued: “I only draw the line when I have to go out of the house”.
Oodie is now testing that with the introduction of its Outdoor Jacket, which comes with a Nylon Outer and fleece inner.
We can imagine it being great for nipping out for errands in the dead of winter.

When is Cyber Monday and is Oodie taking part?
Cyber Monday rolls around right after Black Friday.
But when exactly is Cyber Monday? This year the sale extravaganza finale is on 2nd December, so mark your calendars to not miss out.
It’s your second chance at scoring incredible deals and discounts, so if Black Friday didn’t go as planned, Cyber Monday is another chance to bag a bargain.
Oodie has been part of the Cyber Monday action before, so it’s a good bet they’ll be back this year.

Are Oodies worth it?
Oodies took off a few years ago, with their manufacturer touting them as a “jumper crossed with a blanket, crossed with a cloud.”
Judging by the ever-growing list of glowing reviews, plenty of people agree.
In our own Oodie review, our Reviews Manager Kieran Ahuja noted: “I probably wouldn’t pay the full £89 for an Oodie, but if you can get one in a sale, or convince your family to get one with you and get a bulk discount, then I would advise you to do it.”
Shop the Oodie collection
Still, whether an Oodie is worth the price tag is up to you.
They’re cosy and warm, making them ideal for winter nights, and roomy enough to snuggle up on the sofa.
Plus, the hood keeps your ears toasty, and the oversized kangaroo pocket is perfect for stashing essentials (fitting for an Aussie brand).

More Amazing Black Friday Deals
Can you tumble-dry an Oodie?
Tumble drying your Oodie is a no-go. The Oodie experts recommend hand washing it in cold water for the best results.
But if you’re not up for that (and let’s face it, who has the time?), you can pop it in the machine on a gentle cycle with some mild detergent instead.
How long does an Oodie take to dry?
The drying time for your Oodie depends on a few factors: how you dry it, the warmth of your home, and the weather outside.
Since Oodies are crafted from Sherpa fleece, you can treat them like a wool sweater and lay it flat to dry.
Alternatively, you can hang it outside to dry. Just make sure to use a hanger and attach it to the line to avoid those pesky peg marks.
It might take some time, a good few hours to be frank, but patience pays off with great results.
How much is delivery from Oodie?
Oodie offers free standard shipping on all UK orders over £50, which typically takes between 2 and 8 business days to arrive.
If you’re in a hurry, you can opt for express shipping for just £3.99, and your order will reach you in 1 to 3 business days.
Does Oodie offer any other discounts?
If you’re looking to snag a deal on Oodie products, check out the bundle packs.
Sure, you’re spending a bit more upfront compared to buying just one item, but if you team up with someone and share the cost, it’s a pretty sweet deal.
Also, don’t forget to browse the clearance section on the website for some solid discounts.
For the biggest selection of deals, though, keep an eye out for Black Friday, there will be a wider variety of discounts on many more products.
