Every year millions of searches are done here on PriceRunner. In the lead-up to Black Friday, we've taken a look at the most popular products released this year so you can easily keep track of all of them when on sale.
In searching for the most popular products of the year, we found great variety with everything from advent calendars to impressive TV sets. With popularity in mind, chances are that many will have these products on their wish-lists and will be hunting for these during the Black Friday sales.
Perhaps not too surprisingly, with the release of the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 the game console category ranks as one of the most popular ones. The most popular product in this category however was neither aforementioned products, but instead the Nintendo Switch, leaving the second and third place to PS5 and Xbox Series X. And although Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are already sold out, we'd keep an eye out for older models perhaps ending up on this years sale.
One of the most popular toys searched for on PriceRunner this year has been the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall which is an amazing toy, coincidentally both Lego and Harry Potter have been quite popular this year. The Barbie Dream Camper and the Little Tikes collection have also been attracting lots of attention.
TV is till a big part of our everyday life and finding the right TV is crucial - it can make all the difference in how you view the Premier League finals or how you immerse yourself in your favourite series. The most popular TV-sets on PricerRunner varies from both more cost-friendly options to premium models that one might be willing to stretch their budget for.
These being amongst the most sought-after products perhaps should come as no surprise. Here we have gathered all of the favourite models of smartphones, along with some more cost-effective choices. Smartphones are something people can often have quite a bit of luck with grabbing at a better price during Black Week. Be sure to set a Price Alert on your desired mobile so you don't miss out on a great deal when the price is lowered.
Regardless of whether they're in-ear or on-ear, it's wireless earphones that are all the rage for those searching online this year. It seems fussing with cords, whether at the gym or on the move is something we seem to have had enough of. AirPods are earphones many have been curious about this year - and we do mean MANY.
It's always nice to have useful things in the kitchen that make life easier. This year many in the UK have been searching for Brita water jugs, along with filter cartridges that are used in them. Water tends to be on the hard side in Britain and a good water filter is a great way to avoid consuming too much minerals such as limestone.
The winter months in the UK can without a doubt be rather dark, so it perhaps maybe isn't so shocking that many have been on the hunt for all sorts of lamps this year. Phillips Hue lights and lamps have been very popular choices in chasing away the darkness in 2020.
Hoovers have shot in popularity this year, perhaps due to the fact that we're spending most of our time at home we end up with a messier home that requires more frequent cleaning sessions. Dyson was however the undisputed winner as the most popular hoover, although good ol' Henry wasn't trailing too far behind.
When it comes favourites in interior design, wall clocks and scented candles dominate. There's something very comforting in the soft tick-tock of an analog clock on the wall and they make for a great housewarming gift. Scented candles are also very popular and super versatile, they can lighten up your home, give it a lovely scent and also be a thoughtful gift if you're aiming for something more down-to-earth.
A sign of the time perhaps, and not too unsurprisingly there has been a massive increase in popularity when it comes to webcams. Having a good webcam is now essential for most of those working or studying from home. The most popular one was from Logitech.
Despite winter wear already filling the racks and shelves of fashion retailers before the onset of Black Friday, when looking at popular shoes, it's not warm, heavy winter shoes that are most sought after. Trainers and sneakers from Nike top the list of footwear searches on PriceRunner this year.
Perfume is a classic gift - simple, sophisticated and it smells lovely! Finding a signature scent can be tricky business but popular choices are often fairly safe bets, as they have the longevity and appeal to back them up. You're also highly likely to find your favourite fragrance on a discounted price during Black Friday so take a moment and think about how you want to smell in 2020.
