A new Finder survey<\/a> has discovered that Aussies \u2013 Gen Y and Gen X to be precise \u2013 are keen to spend upwards of AU$400 per person during Boxing Day sales. Gen Z and baby boomers are planning to be a little more circumspect, but that turns out to be over AU$3 billion in sales to close out the year.<\/p>\n

Are you one of them? I wouldn’t be surprised. Given the price drops I’ve seen over the last few days, this Boxing Day sale is turning out to be quite impressive indeed, rivalling last month’s Black Friday sale.<\/p>\n

\nExperience film photography… digitally <\/p>\n

You don’t need to buy a film camera or rolls to enjoy analogue photography \u2013 you can do so digitally now.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know that reads like an oxymoron but that’s exactly what the Fujifilm X Half let’s you do \u2013 it emulates half-frame film photography by creating 3:4 vertical images on a 1-inch sensor. But to keep the experience as authentic as possible, there’s a dedicated film camera mode that tracks your shots and you can’t go back or review your images on the display.<\/p>\n

It’s not a powerhouse camera but it sure is a nifty compact that I’m keen on personally (I waxed lyrical about it on sister site Digital Camera World<\/a> when it was discounted for Black Friday last month). Even better is the fact that it’s dropped in price dramatically \u2013 and it’s cheaper now too \u2013 which makes it all the more enticing.<\/p>\n

Fujifilm X Half: AU$1,349 AU$777 on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

\nSony gets brave with this deal<\/p>\n

This is the TV deal of the day!<\/p>\n

There are always good TV deals around, but this one stands out for being a very deep discount on a pretty good telly.<\/p>\n

The Sony Bravia 8 II was announced in April, and I’m no expert when it comes to TVs, but my colleague Max Langridge assures me that this one heck of a deal. The 65-inch screen arrived in Australia with a high RRP of AU$5,499 but has since dropped to AU$5,295.<\/p>\n

Head to Sony’s own online store, where there are a couple of stackable coupons you can use \u2013 one is BOXINGSAVE at checkout that will shave off AU$80 from the listed price (which is already heavily discounted), and if you sign up for a My Sony account, you’ll be sent a unique code that you can tack on that saves you an additional 10% (capped at AU$200).<\/p>\n

Jump through these hoops and the price drops to AU$3,597. Not bad at all.<\/p>\n

\nIs the Amazon Fire TV Cube worth buying?<\/p>\n

\n

\"Amazon\n<\/p>\n

Amazon has quite a few streaming devices and, when discounted, the Fire TV Sticks, are very affordable indeed. The Fire TV Cube, however, costs more, even when discounted. So, is it worth the extra cost?<\/p>\n

I’d probably say it’s not worth paying full price, but when it’s on sale, like right now for just AU$155, it’s definitely worth considering.<\/p>\n

One of the fastest-ever streaming media player, the Amazon Fire TV Cube combines all the benefits of a streaming device with Alexa support while also being a smart speaker to help you control your connected devices. Not only do you get access to every streaming app you can think of, you also get Dolby Vision, HDR and Dolby Atmos support, and it\u2019s everything you could want.<\/p>\n

Predictably, it inundates you with plenty of Amazon content, but that\u2019s no bad thing if you have an Amazon Prime membership. Its home screen provides rows of suggested content you can watch or rent, and these days Amazon Prime offers some truly great shows and movies.<\/p>\n

\nFrame your music at half price<\/p>\n

It may not be the best speaker in the business but, as a lifestyle product, the Samsung Music Frame is a worthy contender. I’ve tried it myself when I wrote my Samsung Music Frame review<\/a> and, honestly, my biggest issue with it was its price tag \u2013 I just couldn’t justify it at full price.<\/p>\n

Well, guess what? You don’t have to get it at full price because Samsung is discounting the Music Frame by 50%. Uh-huh, it’s down from a whopping AU$699 to a much more acceptable AU$349.<\/p>\n

It’s got plenty of handy features, particularly its wireless streaming capabilities, and its sound is room-filling \u2013 it just lacks detail, which the average listener may not even realise. So if you were curious about it and you want a speaker that hides in plain sight, grab it now.<\/p>\n

The Meta Quest VR headsets have always been a relatively affordable entry into virtual reality and now the 128GB version has dropped to a better price than Black Friday 2025.<\/p>\n

In fact, it was the same AU$418 from Black Friday at about 9:30am this morning (Monday, December 22), but Amazon has since shaved off another AU$8.01 off that price, so it’s now just AU$409.99. In even better news, if you order now, you might get it delivered to you on Christmas Eve, depending on where you live.<\/p>\n

If you’re after a thoughtful Christmas gift for a gamer or you’ve been keen to try VR gaming yourself, it doesn’t get better than this.<\/p>\n

Hurry, Meta Quest 3S deals like this don’t last very long.<\/p>\n

\"Shopping\n<\/p>\n

(Image credit: 123RF)<\/p>\n

We’re just days away from Christmas Eve, and while the festive spirit is in full swing, the reality of forgotten shopping has hit. If you\u2019re looking to capitalise on Boxing Day sales in Australia, there are still some excellent ways to score those last-minute deals before Christmas day.<\/p>\n

1. Shop on Amazon or Kogan
Amazon is the easiest option here but please note that at this time, even metro areas that are typically able to get same-day delivery may not be able to do so, depending on the product you’re after. There are still, however, many items with same- or next-day delivery on Amazon. Kogan, too, is offering expedited delivery at this time.<\/p>\n

2. Consider same- or next-day delivery options
Some stores, like JB Hi-Fi, offer on-demand delivery through services such as Uber<\/a>. This can be a lifesaver if you find a deal you love and want it delivered straight to your door without waiting. JB Hi-Fi offers two types of Uber deliveries in metro areas:
ASAP Delivery: Your order will be delivered within 90 minutes to 2 hours of placing it.
Scheduled Delivery: If available, you can select a 2-hour delivery window during the store\u2019s operating hours.<\/p>\n

Eligibility: Orders must be placed within 20km of a store offering Uber delivery. Available 7 days a week from store opening until 2 hours before closing time.<\/p>\n

3. Opt for in-store pickup or click-and-collect<\/p>\n

The smartest move, if you spot a deal on our curated Boxing Day sales page, is to order online for in-store pickup. Why? This ensures the item is in stock before you brave the retail madness. Plus, your order will be ready and waiting for you to collect, saving you time and stress. Most major retailers offer this option, making it an ideal way to shop.<\/p>\n

What to do about Amazon bargains
If the deal you\u2019ve spotted is on Amazon but delivery isn\u2019t feasible, don\u2019t give up. Check physical stores like JB Hi-Fi<\/a> and The Good Guys<\/a> for the same product. These retailers often match or closely align with Amazon\u2019s pricing, especially during major sales events like Boxing Day. You might just find the same item for a comparable price (or less if The Good Guys will price beat) and with the added bonus of immediate availability.<\/p>\n

\nAn easy Pill to swallow<\/p>\n

\n

\"Beats\n<\/p>\n

I was very excited when the new Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker launched in 2024, but I held off for a discount. Sadly, it never saw one, even during Black Friday or Boxing Day last year, but it looks like JB Hi-Fi has permanently dropped the ticket price.<\/p>\n

That means this lovely little Bluetooth speaker can now be had for just AU$179 in all colours. I haven’t listed it as a deal on this page as this seems to be its standard price now.<\/p>\n

The updated model has better sound, better battery and better dust- and waterproofing too. The only thing that could stop some users from swallowing this tasty Pill is the lack of an equaliser, so you’re stuck with the sound it makes. Which, let me tell you, is good. So it may not be a deal breaker at all.<\/p>\n

\nShop the last sale of 2025<\/p>\n

We’re just days away from Christmas and while many of us are planning our summer holidays (if we aren’t already well underway), others are probably looking forward to Australia’s Boxing Day sales.<\/p>\n

There’s no need to wait any longer as some retailers have already started their sales officially, while others are offering deep discounts as ‘early’ teasers. The Good Guys and JB Hi-Fi are already in Boxing Day mode, and I had expected Amazon to start its sale today as well, but surprise, surprise, that’s not happened yet. Despite that, I’m seeing some extraordinarily good discounts, many of which are better than what we saw during Black Friday.<\/p>\n

So join me on me on my hunt for the best Boxing Day deals to be had \u2013 these may not quite make it in time for Christmas, but any back-to-school purchases you need to make or something to get your New Year resolutions started are definitely worth picking up now.<\/p>\n
