While Black Friday originated in the United States, the sale has caught on in many other parts of the world, including Singapore.
For those of you who still have some holiday shopping to do after 11.11, there’s one place where you’ll be able to get it all done.
BHG is having a FlashBlack Friday sale, where shoppers can get up to 90% off a wide variety of items, from beauty to kitchenware to apparel.
As if that wasn’t enticing enough, there will also be a lucky draw with prizes worth over S$135,000 – including a brand new ŠKODA KODIAQ seven-seater SUV, PlayStation 5s, and a Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer – to be won.

Here are some recommendations worth adding to your basket when you shop at the sale.
There’s nothing that elevates a beauty routine quite like a fancy skincare set or two.
Whether you’re looking to jazz up your own collection or pamper your BFF, BHG has a diverse range of luxe makeup, skincare, and fragrances at affordable prices during their FlashBlack Friday Sale.
Lancôme’s youth-activating Advanced Génifique formula is deeply loved by skincare enthusiasts, and several of its products now come in a whole set.
The Advanced Genifique Light Pearl & Eye Cream Set includes a serum, face mask, eye and lash serum, and eye cream so you can integrate the formula easily into each skincare step.

Everything that one needs to get ready for a festive night out is packed nicely into a chic red box, including the holy grail Advanced Night Repair serum, a full-sized eyeshadow palette, and two lipsticks to take you across different occasions.
While it’s always fun to coordinate twinning looks with your bestie, you could go for something different this year with twinning scents instead.
The Narciso Eau Néroli Ambrée Eau De Toilette by Narciso Rodriguez has a light floral scent that exudes a warm, vibrant energy, making it a worthy contender for your new signature scent.

With a buy-one-get-one free deal to boot, this scent is set to be the season’s fragrance equivalent of a friendship bracelet.
If your holiday schedule is set to be a packed one, every hour of beauty sleep counts to ensure you’re rested and ready for the next event.
This is where quality bedding comes in, and thanks to BHG’s FlashBlack Friday discounts on bed sheets and pillows, it won’t cost a bomb.
With the Faye bed set by Horgen’s Luxe Collection, you’ll be sleeping on full Egyptian cotton, making every bedtime the best time. Be careful, though, you might have even more trouble getting up in the morning.

The queen and king bed sets both contain a quilt cover, fitted sheet, two pillow covers, and a bolster case. They come in four classic colours – navy, white, mauve, and grey – so you can choose the one that best matches your room’s aesthetics.
A key to better sleep is a good pillow, which you’ll find in this Classy gel pillow by Alma Vivens. Made with a special gel material, it gently conforms to your head and neck, providing better pressure relief.

The substance has other benefits as well, like lowering your skin temperature to keep you cool on hot, humid nights.
If you recently started a family, then you’d likely be aware of how much preparation goes into setting up a home.
In times like these, every bit of assistance counts, and that includes providing new parents with the tools they need.
For the kitchen, a stir fry wok is a necessity to whip up home-cooked meals, so opt for one that can last through years of use like La Gourmet’s Blusteel wok.

Its unique material makes it 40% lighter than traditional cast iron cookware, making it suitable for kitchen newbies who are still getting used to cooking for an entire family.
It’s also made from 99% pure iron, which is chemical-free to ensure that every dish is cooked with 100% love and 0% toxins.
Besides essential kitchenware, baby gear can be quite costly too, which is why parents would love a set of feeding tools like this 2-in-1 Sterilizer & Dryer by NUK.

This nifty device will let mummy and daddy enjoy convenience and peace of mind as it can eliminate germs with high-temperature steam.
As a bonus, BHG is also offering two Disney bottles with the set, which have adorable Winnie the Pooh prints on them to perk up baby’s bottle-feeding experience.
If your current closet no longer inspires you, it may be time to recycle some pieces and bring in new ones.
BHG’s FlashBlack Friday sale will also be a good time for ladies to gift their male partners new apparel to subtly nudge their style choices in a different direction.
The festive season calls for smarter outfits and you can’t go wrong with long-sleeved shirts from assorted brands including John Langford, which are on sale for just S$10.

You have to admit, that’s a far easier way to win a PS5 than losing 10kg for it, which is what this dedicated Thai man did.
If you’re a BHG member, this is your time to shine as you’ll be privy to first dibs on the sale on 24 Nov. What’s more, BHG members who spend at least S$500 or S$2,000 in a single receipt that day will enjoy double and triple the points respectively.

Even if you’re not on a massive shopping spree, you can still enjoy discounts on various products when you spend S$80 or more at BHG. The items include:
With so much to see, do, and buy, you might be worried that you won’t have enough time for everything. After all, we only get 24 hours in a day.
While shopping online can be done at any time of the day, sometimes, nothing beats the good old-fashioned experience of browsing through a physical store.
If you agree with that latter statement, you will be happy to hear that on 25 Nov, all BHG outlets will open till 10.30pm, so avid shoppers can shop till they drop.
From 5pm to 7pm, shoppers can also hear live updates on the best deals from Love972’s mobile DJs Lina and Fenying, who will make a special appearance.
At BHG Bugis and Bishan outlets, visitors can help themselves to free Jia Jia Herbal Tea drinks when they come in on this date. Yes, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated while shopping the day away.
Finally, there will be a live cooking demonstration of seared foie gras by seasoned chefs from the At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy from 2pm to 4pm on 27 Nov at BHG Bugis’ Kitchen Studio, so you can get some inspo for the dishes you’ll be making with your brand new kitchenware.

The Paradise Tree Snake may have misjudged its landing and ended up on the car.
The 69-year-old was reportedly upset over his neighbour's refusal to apologise.
False claims include that GCB transactions occur without government checks on beneficial owners' identities.
The suspect casually watched as the woman became consumed by flames.
The thief left the wallet and more than RM200 behind, presumably to mislead the 72-year-old…
Such poor sportsmanship.
