Black Friday doesn’t have to be about standing in a long queue or spending hours looking at a computer screen shopping away. The biggest day in shopping can also be the best day to spend some coins on leisure activities like getting a manicure, going on a getaway and even eating and drinking to your heart’s content without breaking your bank account.

For those who’d like to splurge without setting foot in a packed store or spending hours hitting the refresh button, we’ve rounded up some great Black Friday deals for you.
