Boxing Day sales live now: Best deals from John Lewis, Boots, Dyson and more
From the Nintendo Switch Lite to Dyson vacuums, Ugg slippers, Airpods and Fitbit trackers, we’ve found the hottest offers to shop now
Now that you’ve opened your presents, eaten Christmas lunch (plus all the leftovers in the evening), drunk all the sherry and are settled in for a day on the sofa, turn your attention to one of the biggest shopping events of the year: the Boxing Day sales.
It’s often one of the best times to bag yourself a bargain, so we’re here to make sure you don’t miss out on great offers across clothes, beauty, tech, toys, home appliances and more.
While long queues in the early hours of the morning outside high street stores are usually synonymous with the sales at this time of year, recently the day has become more of an online shopping event with big-name brands slashing prices on its end of year stock.
The 2020 sale is set to be bigger than ever after a boom in online shopping during the coronavirus lockdown when we were unable to get to the shops. Due to the ongoing pandemic, in-store shopping will not look the same this year as different lockdown measures and tier restrictions across the country mean many people will continue to shop from the comfort of their sofa.
Throughout the day, we’ll be bringing you the best deals from big-name brands including Apple, Amazon, Currys PC World and Simba. We’ve done the hard work for you so you can snap up all the biggest offers from high-street stalwarts John Lewis, Debenhams, Habitat, Boots and many more.
So whether you’re looking for a Fitbit, Nintendo Switch Lite or Dyson vacuum cleaner, follow our live blog for the latest updates and hottest deals.

Save £60 on this pair of Huawei FreeBuds
These in-ear buds featured in our review of the best noise cancelling headphones, impressing our tester with their 16-hour-long battery life from the charging case and four hours on their own.
“Huawei manages to keep most ambient noise at bay, without sacrificing comfort. These are easily good enough to work on a plane, for instance, though the noise cancelling is a little more direct than some headphones,” our reviewer said
30% off Air Max 95s in JD Sports Boxing Day sale
The sportswear retailer has gone big this Boxing Day with its “biggest ever sale”. If Santa didn’t bring you the trainers you wanted this Christmas, now is the time to bag a bargain with these Nike Air Max 95s. We love the off-white colour way with lime green accents which feel like a fresh take on the classic shoe.
Debenhams hosts its ‘biggest ever’ beauty sale with 70% discounts
Since announcing its UK-wise closure earlier this month, Debenhams has revealed some seriously impressive discounts, and its beauty sale is quite frankly too good to miss. Enjoy 70 per cent off this Zoeva eyeshadow palette, which is full of warm browns and mauve tones with matte, glitter and metallic formulas. For just over £6, you can’t go wrong.
Asos has discounted these sheepskin slippers by 56%
Asos isn’t shy of a sale, and this year it’s gone big with its discounts. There’s 70 per cent off a huge range of products on its website, and it’s also offering an extra 15 per cent off when you spend £20 on its app. Sounds like a winner to us. Even without the extra discount, these mule slippers have a huge price reduction of 56 per cent. We love the chocolate brown shade that’s perfect for pairing with those cream loungewear sets that are so popular right now, and the 100 per cent sheepskin lining is bound to keep you cosy.
Refresh your dining room set up with this table and bench from Made
Reduced down from £499, save £200 on this Nordic inspired table and bench set in oak and black from Made this Boxing Day. A contemporary addition to any kitchen, comfortably seat six people and tuck away the benches outside of mealtimes to save space.
For ultimate comfort, snap up a Calvin Klein CK One recycled polyester-blend bra from Selfridges
It’s safe to say for many that being in lockdown has meant ditching a bra in favour of oversized T-shirts and loungewear. This design is perfect if you want support without the underwire, and is made from recycled ocean plastics. Easy to slip on and off without the need for fastenings, it's the classic Calvin Klein style loved since the Nineties.
Save £300 on an LG smart TV in Curry PC World’s Boxing Day bonanza
The Currys sale is a real go-to for TV deals, and this £300 saving on an LG 55in smart TV is a good case in point. The TV stalwart claims you’ll get perfect blacks, intense colour and striking contrast with this screen, and the Dolby Atmos surround sound will only add to the immersive experience. With smart assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built it, it’s never been easier to control your TV, plus you can enjoy all of your favourite streaming platforms including Disney+, Netflix and Prime Video.
Don’t miss out on Arket’s huge winter sale
There’s up to 50 per cent off in Arket’s winter sale, and this sweatshirt caught our eye. You’ll have likely seen the sweetheart neckline cut everywhere this year, making this top bang on trend. Made from a blend of alpaca (40 per cent) and wool (22 per cent), we suspect it will keep you warm when the winter weather really starts to bite. Plus with 40 per cent off, this is a no brainer.
Enjoy 20% off a Fitbit watch in the Amazon Boxing Day sale
As the most popular fitness tracker on the market, snap up a Fitbit watch while it has 20 per cent off at Amazon. It promises impressive features including; a battery life that lasts up to six days, built-in GPS, heart rate, pace, distance and calorie monitoring and built-in voice assistant. You can also use it play music and podcasts via streaming services such as Spotify or Deezer.
The earlier versa 2 model from Fitibit featured in our review of the best fitness trackers too. “The sleep tracking is detailed, recognising REM sleep as well as light and deep,” our reviewer said, before adding, “and the continuous heart rate tracking is useful and it also has a useful guided breathing session to help if you’re stressed.”
