Black Friday is all about sales, and over the years more retailers across all types of businesses have started offering their take on the day.<\/p>\n

While much of the focus is on fast-moving consumer goods and the latest tech and gadgets, there are a whole bunch of sales which slip under the radar because they may not be quite what you have in mind for a shopping spree.<\/p>\n

With literally hundreds of specials available, you\u2019re likely to come across some deals outside of what you\u2019re used to and may have slipped you by\u00a0– from sex toys and wigs, to tattoos and tyres.<\/p>\n

We’ve ventured out and found some of the more outlandish or easy-to-miss Black Friday deals that are taking place this week.<\/p>\n
