Recommended deals ahead of Boxing Day
Even though the console has only just come out, EE has already taken £40 off the brand-new PS5 Pro. What's more, if you have an existing PS5 to trade in, you can get up to another £260 off, bringing the price to as little as £399. The upgraded PS5 Pro boasts greater power over the base console, enabling select games to look better and run smoother. Plus, there's 2TB of storage included, which is double the amount in the standard PS5. Just know, though, that this console doesn't have a disc drive so you'll need to buy all of your games digitally on the PS Store – or buy the PS5 Disc Drive accessory and attach it to the console to play physical games.
The LG B4 may be the entry level OLED in LG's 2024 TV lineup, but it delivers spectacular picture quality with rich contrast and fine details, along with a wealth of gaming features including 4K, 120Hz, Dolby Vision gaming, VRR and more. Available for the first time 48-inches, this deal takes the newest size down to a record low of under £800 -- easily the cheapest way to get a 2024 OLED TV!
Display: 15.6 inches
Processor: Intel i5
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 512GB
It's a bit older now but I'd highly rate this Asus Vivobook 15 when it comes to value. For £400 you're getting not just a powerful 12th gen Intel Core i5 chipset but also an OLED display - something you usually only see on higher-end machines. Generally speaking, the specs here are more than adequate for the basics and this lightweight machine is perfect for consuming content thanks to its decent display.
This beats the discount we saw last year by £20 on the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C support. As well as that more universal connection option, Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality and noise cancellation. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said that these upgrades ensured they were a big step up compared to the originals and helped them truly compete with other high-end buds.
The iPad 10.2 is a little older model but it remains a great deal at this discounted price ahead of Boxing Day. The 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. If you need an entry-level slate for web browsing, streaming videos, light admin work or playing basic games then this can do it all without issue. Right now, when it comes to powerful and affordable tablets that offer excellent value for money, nothing else can beat the Apple iPad 10.2 at this price.
Display - 13.6 inches
Processor - Apple M2
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 256GB
As suspected, with Apple bumping up the base memory of the MacBook Air M2 and M3 to 16GB, retailers are cutting the prices of their existing stock of models with 8GB. While not the most powerful MacBook out there, this version with the M2 chip remains an excellent all-rounder, especially when it comes to day-to-day tasks like browsing the internet and writing up documents. For this new low price, you'll struggle to find a better value laptop than this, even if there's less memory than I'd like to see.
Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel i5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 512GB
Currys has taken a whopping £300 off this mid-range laptop that boasts a slick 14-inch IPS screen, Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a decent up to 14-hour battery life. These components ensure solid overall performance for most day-to-day tasks including browsing, working and streaming videos. I'm particularly impressed with the large and fast storage at this price, which is more than enough room for your files, applications, photos, videos and more.
The XM5 are still the newest and best in Sony's class-leading wireless over-ear lineup. The older XM4 are outstanding, so it'll come as little surprise to know that these are also incredibly hard to beat – especially with a £130 discount. They don't fold up like the XM4, but they're still a comfortable, smart, great-sounding pair of headphones that are highly effective at blocking outside noise. Saving the extra £70 and getting the XM4 is still a viable option, though, if you aren't fussed about the latest tech and want to save some cash.
PSVR 2 is an incredible VR headset for PS5, and it's since been updated to work on PC. This bundle featuring Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the same price as the headset by itself at a new record-low price, so this is the version I'd recommend if you want the most bang for your buck. Especially as the accompanying game is a killer app for PSVR 2.
The basic Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 is down to an impressively low price at Currys – though I have seen it £15 cheaper in the past. This basic tablet has an entry-level processor, a small 8.6-inch screen and only 64GB of storage so expect slightly slower performance and struggles with games or multitasking, but it's still a great tablet for light mobile computing.
Our Dyson Supersonic review called this the 'best hair dryer on the market' for its quirky design and impressive performance. The main issue? The price - which makes this nifty £50 discount in the Curry's Winter sale so compelling. It's still a little on the pricey side, sure, but Dyson builds its products to last - and you'll almost certainly get great results here.
Boxing Day sales 2024: everything you need to know
When do Boxing Day sales start?
Contrary to what the name may suggest, the annual Boxing Day sales are generally multi-day or multi-week affairs in the UK. Generally speaking, you can expect most retailers to launch their end-of-year-sales sometime in mid-December. In some rare cases, some retailers may simply roll-over their sales from Black Friday and Cyber Monday in late November through to the end of the year.
Boxing Day sales 2024: what to expect
Expect a lot of retailers holding 'Winter sales' or 'end-of-year sales' rather than Boxing Day sales per se. Most brands don't name their events Boxing Day sales since they usually run throughout late December and into early January. This is generally true of most retailers across the board, so don't feel constrained to just Boxing Day if you want to shop in December.
Our roundup of the best Boxing Day sales last year included over 80 retailers covering everything from cheap tech to mattresses. Alongside big-name retailers like Amazon, Currys, and John Lewis offering Black Friday-level discounts on TVs, laptops, headphones, and other tech goods, the end-of-year sales also had plenty of great options for home goods and fashion.
If you're interested, you'll find an overview of last year's best Boxing Day sales just below. We've also included all our entries from last year's list at the bottom of the page, which you can freely browse for more detailed information on the discounts.

Is Boxing Day bigger than Black Friday in the UK?
Boxing Day has always been the traditional big 'end-of-year' sale in the UK but it's definitely been eclipsed by Black Friday in recent years - particularly if you're shopping for cheap electronics. Boxing Day remains strong for furniture, appliances, and other outlet items though, and is definitely still worth a look if you've got some post-Christmas pocket money to spend.
Is it better to buy on Boxing Day or Black Friday?
Black Friday tends to be the better option for big-ticket items like laptops or TVs, simply because it's the earlier sale. Retailers are more likely to list record-breaking prices on in-demand items in November in time for Christmas deliveries. If you have your eye on popular items - like Apple products - then it's likely you'll find more in-stock items ready for a price cut.
All that said, the Boxing Day sales aren't a write-off for cheap electronics. While the majority of discounts are likely to be re-runs of Black Friday, they'll still be (or close to) record-low prices. The Boxing Day and January sales are also a chance to clear out old warehouse stock for the big retailers, so you can expect a ton of fresh deals - and not just on Boxing Day staples like furniture or appliances.
Boxing Day sales: A-Z of best retailers
Just below you can see our massive A-Z list of the best retailers if you're planning on shopping the 2024 Boxing Day sales. Note that several stores already have early 'Winter' sales to shop right now that are definitely worth checking out if you're interested. Others won't launch their sales for a few days but I've included exactly what to expect, based on our coverage of previous events.
A
Abercrombie & Fitch - men's and women's fashion
Abercrombie & Fitch features a huge selection of both men's and women's fashion as well as the Fierce fragrance line and YPB active war. Right now you can already save across the retailer's stock thanks to an early seasonal sale - with up to 25% off.
Adidas - sportswear and apparel
Adidas is always a great choice for apparel over the Boxing Day and New Year's period. The retailer usually offers up to up to 50% off across a range of men's, women's, and kid's sportswear. Also included are hoodies, leggings, trainers, tees, and plenty of accessories too. If you're looking for a new school bag, for example, this is a great option.
Affordable Mobiles - phone contracts, SIM only
If you're after the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy device, you'll be able to score a generous contract from the likes of EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three at Affordable mobiles. This retailer is already running a seasonal sale right now - which includes SIM only offers as well as deals on iPhone 16, Galaxy S24, and Google Pixel devices.
Alienware - premium gaming PCs and laptops
Whether you're looking to stock up on PC gaming gear or you're after a whole new rig, take a look at Dell's Alienware section for end-of-year discounts. Generally speaking, the biggest price cuts tend to be on the gaming laptops, but you'll also find great options on pre-built Alienware Aurora desktops - a great alternative to forking out for a pricey graphics card and building your own.
Amazon - tech, home, fashion, beauty
Amazon's massive range of categories and next-day Prime delivery means it's an excellent place for grabbing super cheap tech, homeware, kitchen accessories, and more this year. Amazon's end-of-year sales tend to run from late November through to January, but the Boxing Day sales and January sales are usually great for own-brand devices, booze, and tons of cheap stocking fillers.
AO - appliances, laptops, TVs
AO.com doesn't quite have the big brand recognition of Amazon or Currys, but its inventory of appliances, TVs, and cheap laptops is absolutely vast. Of particular note at AO are the large number of excellent clearance deals available across a huge range of cookers, washing machines, and other appliances. Keep an eye out for coupon codes too as further sales are usually available on a wide range of products at checkout.
Argos - toys, appliances, tech, clothes
A staple of the Boxing Day sales, Argos is also great for last-minute gifts and decor. A few highlight from last year's sales include 50% off home goods and furniture, 50% off jewellery and beauty, and 50% off select sporting and fitness goods - particularly handy if you're looking to start the new year with some training goals.
Asos - men's and women's fashion
One of the biggest fashion retailers available online, popular brands stocked at ASOS include Nike, Adidas, New Balance, FCUK, to name just a few. The retailer's end-of-year blow-out sale usually launches late December and includes up to 50% off a wide range of stock.
B
B&Q - kitchens, bathroom, DIY, storage
Traditionally known for its huge Boxing sales in-store, the DIY retailer B&Q also has a huge selection of items discounted online. These can include 25% off kitchen fittings, bathroom goods, and four for three on storage. Also included are discounts on power tools and paints - which is handy if you're looking to do some DIY in the new year.
Boohoo - women's and men's fashion
Boohoo's end-of-year sale includes massive savings of up to 80% off a range of women's and men's fashion. Boohoo is less brand-focused, but there is a good range of categories to browse here, including a massive range of winter clothing as well as discounts on shoes and accessories.
Boots - beauty, fragrances, baby
Boots is a Boxing Day sales staple but it's also great for last-minute gifts throughout the winter period. Mostly focused on skincare products, Boots is also fantastic for fragrances, gift sets, and discounts on smart scales, Dyson air wraps, and fitness smartwatches. Keep an eye out for coupon codes throughout December and January especially, as well as upfront discounts.
Box - cheap laptops and TVs
Box is another retailer that's often overlooked in favour of bigger stores but I'd highly recommend checking-in over Boxing Day if you're on the hunt for cheap tech. This retailer is always superb for deals on laptops, TVs, and gaming accessories - all of which always feature great discounts over late December and January.
C
Carphone Warehouse - phone contracts
Carphone Warehouse's wide selection of phone contracts and SIM-only deals offer some of the most competitive options on the market throughout December and January. If you're looking for a cheap contract, I'd recommend checking out the own-brand ID Mobile options at Carphone as they're easily some of the cheapest on the market right now - and they're available with the iPhone 16, Galaxy S24, and other recent devices.
CDKeys - cheap games
Looking to get some cheap games for your new console? CDKeys is a well-recognised seller of PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC codes. As with other big games sites, you can expect a big end-of-year sale at CDKeys, with not just options for cheap games but also discounts on popular game passes too.
Currys - TVs, laptops, appliances
Probably the best retailer in the Boxing Day sales if you're looking for tech - Currys has a fantastic track record for discounts on TVs, laptops, headphones, and other popular categories. Keep an eye out for Black Friday rollovers and the retailer's excellent price matching options - which is a handy option considering how many retailers offer discounts on tech over this extremely busy period.
Cotswold Outdoor - outdoor clothing, shoes, equipment
Who doesn't love Patagonia, Arc'Teryx, and North Face? Well, you'll find these in-demand brands as well as many other stocked and ready-to-go at Cotswold Outdoor, as well as plenty of boots, accessories, tents, and other outdoor equipment. This retailer usually has sales all year round but keep an eye out over Boxing Day and January for further discounts and clearance deals.
D-F
Dell - computing and accessories
One of my favourite retailers for Boxing Day deals on laptops and desktops, the official Dell store is always worth considering. Buying directly from Dell usually yields the cheapest prices on its excellent machines, just keep an eye out for discount codes to apply at checkout for maximum value. Model-wise, The Inspiron makes for a great cheaper machine while the premium XPS impresses with its high-end build quality and features.
Disney - toys, clothing, gifts
Another extremely popular retailer over Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year, Disney usually holds a great end-of-year sale across a range of toys, ornaments, and clothing from such well-known franchises as Star Wars, Frozen, Aladdin, and many more. It's not just kid's stuff here either, if you're a massive fan of Disney, you'll also find discounted Christmas jumpers, pyjamas, and other apparel.
DJI - Drones, action cameras, and accessories
There's plenty more to DJI's store than mind-blowingly expensive drones. You'll find Boxing Day discounts on everything from Osmo action camera gear to mid-range quadcopters and the Pocket line of accessories as well. Want to save even more? Consider picking something up from the official DJI refurbished section.
Dyson - vacuums and hair appliances
Looking to treat yourself and make that post-Christmas clean-up easier? Dyson runs an official shop that's a great option if you're looking for a discount on one of its premium vacuum cleaners or its excellent range of small appliances. Keep an eye out for discounts of up to £100 on fan heaters, SuperSonic hair dryers, V8 vacuums, and Air Wrap straighteners.
E
eBay - tech, fashion, decor
You can find pretty much anything under the sun on eBay, and with plenty of high street retailers like Currys and Argos offering cheaper stock on the marketplace site, the face of eBay has certainly changed over the years. You'll find an eBay Money Back Guarantee in place, as well as regular site-wide discount codes.
Ebuyer - computing and accessories
If you're looking to pick up some cheap PC gaming components, accessories, or pre-built rigs, then definitely check out Ebuyer this month. Available throughout the winter period are discounts of up to 50% on all things computing - and that includes monitors or anything you could ever need for a working-from-home setup.
EE - phone and SIM only contracts
The UK's fastest network not only offers up excellent phone contracts on the latest handsets, but also increasingly features gaming consoles, accessories, and discounts on internet packages. This retailer has been particularly strong on PS5 deals over the past few weeks so I'd definitely recommend checking-in if you're an avid console gamer.
Emma: up to 40% off premium mattresses
We think the Emma Original is the best mattress for side sleepers right now, and luckily, the brand offers great Boxing Day sales. This retailer has already launched its big end-of-year sale so there's no need to wait if you're on the hunt for up to 40% off premium mattresses.
