Black Friday – An American tradition that conquered Sweden

Today, Black Friday is more than just a day – it's a week filled with enticing deals and discounts that will make even the thriftiest take out the credit card.

During this period, you can expect a flood of discounts and special offers on everything from electronics and fashion to home decor and beauty products. It's the perfect time to get Christmas gifts for loved ones (and why not yourself?) at prices that will please the wallet.
