The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide: How to make the most of Black Friday sales

This Black Friday gift guide is the easiest way to sort Christmas without the stress.

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m definitely going to get organised early this year,” then MightyApe’s Black Friday sale is basically your Christmas miracle. This is the one time of year when you can actually tick off presents for the whole whānau and feel smug about the savings. TVs, toys, LEGO, gaming gear, Christmas trees, fitness equipment - it’s all on sale, and it’s all stuff people actually want.

Here’s your ultimate guide to the best deals worth grabbing right now - sorted by who you’re shopping for, so you can blast through your list in one go.

For the Tech Lover or Home Upgrade Queen

If someone in your family always has the latest gadget or loves a proper home-cinema night, MightyApe has the “big gifts” absolutely sorted this year.

Kogan 50" LED 4K AI Google TV - now around $389. Bigger screen, same wild pricing. Perfect for upgrading the lounge, the bedroom, or the uni student in the family.
Fraser Country Standing Desk - approx. $193 (was $269). For the person working from home who’s always talking about “fixing their posture” but never does.

This is the category where you genuinely feel like you’ve given someone a luxe gift… without paying luxe prices.

For the Fitness Starter (or the Friend Definitely Getting Fit on January 1)

If you know someone who’s been threatening to exercise all year, MightyApe’s fitness deals are the nudge they need - and a seriously impressive present.

Ape Style FX3400 Walking Pad - $269 (was $369). Compact, quiet, great for anyone who works long hours or wants to sneak steps in while watching Netflix.
Adjustable Dumbbells - around $228 (was $329). The home-gym gift that doesn’t require an actual garage gym.

Strong deals for strong people (and strong intentions).

For the Gamer (AKA the Easiest Win This Christmas)

If you have someone who disappears for hours with a controller in hand, MightyApe’s Black Friday is their season. The deals this year are genuinely impressive.

PS5 Digital (Slim) - MightyApe’s lowest price ever.
PlayStation DualSense Controllers - up to 30% off. Great as a standalone present or add-on.
Juggernaut 27” QHD 240Hz Gaming Monitor - around $280 (down from $379). For the gamer who “needs” better frame rates.

Plus, the whole Black Friday gaming section is loaded - consoles, games, headsets, keyboards, everything.

For the LEGO Lover (Child or Adult - No Judgement)

One of the biggest wins of MightyApe’s sale is how huge the LEGO discounts are. If you’ve got kids, nieces, nephews, or a grown adult who secretly loves building sets, you’ll save a fortune.

LEGO City Advent Calendar - $45 (was $56.99).
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar - also $45.

This is the category where you can load your cart and feel absolutely thrilled at checkout.

For the Toy Lover (Kids Sorted in One Click)

MightyApe has a huge toy range already, and Black Friday just makes it unfairly easy.

At least 20% off all toys.
Big brand toys with up to 30% off.
Board games & puzzles are up to 20% off.
This is a great place to bulk-buy stocking stuffers or pick up that “big gift” the kids keep hinting at.

For the Bookworm or Quiet-Time Enjoyer

If someone in your life loves escaping into a story, MightyApe’s book deals make building a beautiful little book bundle super easy.

Discounts across fiction, YA, manga, picture books and special editions.
Perfect for teenagers, adults, or anyone who loves reading in the sun over summer.
Easy to wrap, easy to personalise and always well-loved.

For the Christmas Decor Enthusiast

You are absolutely allowed to buy someone a Christmas tree. MightyApe’s deals on festive décor are actually that good.

7 ft Pre-Lit LED Christmas Tree (1,200 tips, 450 LEDs) - around $138 (was $239).
7 ft Premium Artificial Tree (1,525 tips) - $177 (was $229).
6 ft LED Premium Tree - around $169 (was $219).
These are the kinds of trees people unbox next year and say, “Oh wow, this looks expensive.”

There’s always one. Sometimes two. And for them:

MightyApe e-Gift Cards.
No fuss to wrap … but extremely exciting to receive.

On a Budget: Gifts Under $20

If you’re keeping Christmas spend in check, MightyApe’s Black Friday sale has plenty of under-$20 finds perfect for stockings, Secret Santa, or last-minute extras. Think discounted paperbacks, classic card games, small puzzles, kids’ crafts, and handy little gadgets — all affordable, easy wins that still feel thoughtful.
