Amazon has warned that the time is ticking to bag a last-minute Black Friday or Cyber Monday bargain, as their sales spree comes to a close at midnight. A big banner on their website tells customers that the 'Black Friday week deals ends midnight' meaning that savvy shoppers have around 12 hours to do what they need to do.

Whether that be buying Christmas gifts for family and friends, or treating yourself to that usually expensive bit of kit you've longed for for years - now is the perfect time to get a great discount on all sorts of products.

Warning customers, Amazon wrote: "Amazon will spread the joy of seasonal savings throughout its Cyber Monday weekend event starting Saturday, November 25, and running through Monday, November 27, with festive deals from top brands like Casper, Ninja, CeraVe, and Helly Hansen.

"New deals will drop as often as every five minutes during select periods throughout the Black Friday and Cyber Monday events, so you should check our Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping pages often to find new savings. Customers can also get personalized deal notifications from Alexa up to 24 hours in advance on eligible items within their Wish List, Carts, or Saved for Later lists, and can keep an eye on personalized deals throughout the season by saying, 'Alexa, what are my deals?'.

"They can also ask Alexa to remind them of deals once they are live, or ask Alexa to make a purchase when a deal is available by saying, 'Alexa, buy it for me'."
