If you’ve had one on your wishlist for a while, now is the time to buy: You can save $450 on the versatile (and apartment-friendly) Gen5 Detect during the four-day sale. That gets you the machine, multiple cleaner heads, accessories and a floor dock.

We’ve got our eye on this luxe overnight bag to gift the men in our lives this festive season: the only task will be keeping it hidden until December. Made from responsibly sourced leather and in a rich chocolate brown, it comes down to under $200 thanks to APD. Bargain of the century.

The perfect bouncy blowdry calls for a quality hairdryer, and let’s be honest, that one you still have from your university flat probably is cutting it no longer. Ghd has up to 20% off selected hair styling tools for Afterpay Day, including this Bratted-up neon-lime Helios hair dryer.
