The Boxing Day sales are here. Whether you’re shopping from the sofa while tucking into another mince pie<\/a> or heading out onto the high street, you’re in the right place, as we’re here to bring you the very best deals on expert-approved products.<\/p>\n

With so many sales events happening throughout the year, it\u2019s easy to feel sceptical about whether the deals are really worthwhile. However, you can make the sales work to your advantage if you know how to spot a good saving from a dud. By using price tracking websites like PriceSpy and PriceRunner, you can see how much an item\u2019s price has changed over time and find the cheapest place to buy. That\u2019s how I\u2019ll be finding bargains throughout the Boxing Day sales, so if you want to save yourself the hassle, you\u2019re in luck.<\/p>\n

A quality deal is about the product just as much as the price. As experts <\/a>in our chosen fields, the IndyBest team will only feature products that are worth your money. From beauty to tech, we test thousands of products each year, so if we’re letting you know about a deal, you can rest assured that it’s the best of the best.<\/p>\n

The sales have now kicked off at huge retailers like Amazon<\/a>, M&S<\/a>, John Lewis <\/a>and more \u2013 keep reading for the very best offers.<\/p>\n

The IndyBest-approved items I\u2019ve listed below were all cheaper at the start of the Boxing Day sales last year than on Black Friday.<\/p>\n

For anyone wanting to get their hands on a Kindle, the good news is that it\u2019s included in Amazon\u2019s Boxing Day sale. Tech writer Steve Hogarty<\/a> praised the device for its compact design and affordability, saying it is \u201ceverything you need in a modern ereader with none of the frills: a decently sharp, 6in, 300dpi e-ink display; around six weeks of battery life; USB-C charging; front-lighting using LEDs; and around 12GB of useable storage\u201d. <\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not quite as cheap as it was during the Black Friday sales last month, this is still a decent time to invest.<\/p>\n

Looking to upgrade your sleep set-up in 2026? In her guide to the best mattresses of 2025<\/a>, our resident sleep expert, Sarah Jones<\/a>, chose Simba\u2019s hybrid luxe as her top pick. She said it improved her sleep significantly, kept her cool during the summer months and warm in winter. Sarah wrote in her review: \u201cI found that it offered support for my joints and helped me lie straight. It also offers the ideal balance between a firm and medium sleeping base.\u201d It may be pricey, but with a discount of \u00a3425, now could be the perfect time to try it for yourself.<\/p>\n

Black Friday discounts on the 2024 airwrap i.d. model have continued into Boxing Day. The covetable Dyson buy has been reduced by \u00a350 at a bunch of retailers, including Argos. Beauty writer Elena Chabo<\/a> put the hair tool to the test for her Dyson airwrap i.d. review<\/a>. Elena said the device will \u201cset you up for almost every styling need, halve your styling time and minimise damage to hair\u201d. Promising good hair in 2026, snap it up while stocks last.<\/p>\n

Looking for an ereader for smaller hands? Our favourite ereader for kids<\/a> is also on sale at Amazon. According to tech critic Steve Hogarty, the ereader is \u201cidentical\u201d to its adult version, but it comes with a protective cover and two-year guarantee. \u201cBest of all, each one includes a year\u2019s subscription to Amazon Kids+, which is designed for children aged 3-12 and offers access to more than 1,000 titles, plus more than 100 audiobooks,\u201d says Steve.<\/p>\n

(Oura)<\/p>\n

The gold standard for wearables in the wellness space, Oura rings are rarely on offer \u2013 so this generous saving of \u00a3100 at Boots is worth shouting about (and it matches the Black Friday discount). In his review of the Oura ring 4<\/a>, senior tech critic Alex Lee<\/a> said the main benefit, compared with buying the gen 3 version, is the “improved durability, comfort and accuracy\u201d. Alex added: \u201cThis isn\u2019t a generational upgrade over the Oura ring 3, merely strengthening its position as the best smart ring out there for sleep tracking and recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

As every seasoned deal-hunter knows, beauty gift sets are often the best way to save in the Boxing Day sales \u2013 and this one from Tan-Luxe is no exception. Combining the brand’s two hero formulas (the face tanning drops and gradual tanner), the duo is reduced by 50 per cent in the Boots Boxing Day sale<\/a>. Tanning expert Daisy Lester<\/a> says the self-tan drop formula is “packed with skin-loving ingredients that work to strengthen the skin barrier, improve elasticity and firmness, and hydrate and soothe,” as she described in her review<\/a>. Daisy also gave the gradual tanner a glowing five-star review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t find any earbuds in your Christmas stocking, check out this deal from Currys, which sees our favourite noise-cancelling earbuds<\/a> reduced by \u00a350. Our reviewer said: “You can find options with great ANC for half the price \u2013 the problem is, none of them can withhold ambient noise like Bose can.”<\/p>\n

Plus, unlike the Oura ring, you don\u2019t need to sign up for a paid subscription to access all of the features.<\/p>\n

(Dyson)<\/p>\n

The Dyson airwrap is a beloved hair tool, and with this discount, the origin has become the most accessible model in the range. In her review of the Dyson airwrap<\/a>, beauty editor Lucy Partington<\/a> welcomed the inclusion of the round brush, praising how it helped create a \u201cblowdry-esque finish\u201d. Though it\u2019s lacking some of the features found on newer models like the i.d., it\u2019s still a great addition to your beauty routine, especially at this price.<\/p>\n

The all-digital PS5 Slim is now down to \u00a3290 on Argos. It\u2019s a lighter and smaller version of the original console, but it\u2019s got the same great performance, plus 1TB of storage. In his PS5 review<\/a>, tech writer Steve Hogarty<\/a> said: \u201cThe PS5 packs a serious punch, with performance and graphics rivalling a mid- to high-end gaming PC. Games load in a flash, thanks to the custom-designed SSD, while support for 4K resolutions at 120fps allows for stunning and immersive visuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

IPL machines use \u2018intense pulsed light\u2019 to reduce hair growth, eliminating the need for shaving and hair removal creams.

Beauty editorLucy Partington<\/a> praised the lumea 9900 in her guide to the best IPL machines<\/a>, saying: \u201cIt works by automatically adjusting the intensity of the light based on your skin tone, which essentially means you should get a safe and effective treatment every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to Elemis’s cult cleansing balm, beauty writer Lucy Smith<\/a> rates the black cherry scent as the best of the bunch. With a candy-sweet aroma and the same buttery feel that Elemis fans know and love, the formula offers “an indulgent end-of-day cleanse”, as Lucy detailed in her review<\/a>.

Electric toothbrushes are always on sale, so you\u2019ll likely never have to pay full price for one. However, if you need one right now, there\u2019s a modest discount on the Oral-B pro 3 3500 at Currys \u2013 we haven\u2019t tested this exact model, but Oral-B is one of our favourite brands when it comes to the best electric toothbrushes<\/a>. It comes with all the bells and whistles: a timer function, a pressure sensor and two weeks\u2019 worth of battery life, according to the brand. I\u2019ll let you know if it gets any cheaper as we get closer to Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

With 8K graphics, more internal memory and improved ray tracing, the PS5 Pro is \u201cthe best console out there right now, blowing the Xbox Series X out of the water\u201d, says our senior tech critic Alex Lee<\/a>.

These are \u201cthe best-sounding headphones around\u201d, said senior tech critic Alex Lee<\/a> in his Sony WH-1000XM5 review<\/a>. \u201cThe mind-blowing sound quality that handles every song with ease and the smart features are all next-generation upgrades for a modern-day pair of headphones.\u201d<\/p>\n

How long do Boxing Day sales last?<\/p>\n

It used to be the case that the Boxing Day sales lasted for one day only, and bargain hunters would have to get out bright and early to secure the goods. These days, however, the sale event runs through January, so there\u2019s no need to rush. That being said, some products can sell out quickly, so if you see a good saving on something you’ve been lusting after, it’s best to snap it up while you can.<\/p>\n

Are the Boxing Day sales better than the January sales?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by the name \u2013 the Boxing Day sales aren\u2019t much different to the January sales that follow. From 26 December to 31 January, you\u2019ll find the same products discounted, and often, the price will continue to drop even lower as we move through January.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for something in particular, though, such as a piece of clothing in your size or a highly sought-after piece of tech, it may be worth making your purchase as soon as you spot a discount, as sale items are not always replenished.<\/p>\n

Why is it called Boxing Day?<\/p>\n

Many of us were told that Boxing Day was named after the sport, but actually, the name comes from a period during the reign of Queen Victoria when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. It was traditionally a day off for servants.<\/p>\n

Why you can trust us to find the best Boxing Day deals<\/p>\n

At IndyBest, we\u2019ve been covering major sales events for years, so we have plenty of experience in finding the best bargains. We’ll only recommend deals on products we\u2019ve tried and tested, or those that come from brands we trust. Plus, we use price-tracking tools, so we can tell you if you\u2019re making a genuine saving compared with buying outside of the Boxing Day sales.<\/p>\n
