Save more than £150 on the Meta Quest 3

If you want to be in the action, rather than watch it from your telly, then you’ll want to pick up a VR headset in the January sales. Right now, you can save more than £150 on the Meta Quest 3 at Amazon.

The Meta Quest 3 is an astounding virtual-reality headset, and is arguably the best consumer VR device currently out there,” I said in my review. “With full-colour passthrough, a faster processor, a more comfortable and ergonomic fit, as well as better hand tracking and, of course, those sweet, sweet pancake lenses that make everything so much more stable, this is the VR headset to beat.”

Featuring 8K graphics, more internal memory, improved ray tracing and upscaling through Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology, the PS5 Pro is the best console out right now, blowing the Xbox Series X out of the water. With graphics so good you can see reflections and refractions of light in car windows. You also get 2TB of internal storage with the new console, letting you store more games, and it’s compatible with the detachable disc drive (if you can find one in stock).

Save more than £80 on this De’Longhi dehumidifier in the January sales

If you’re as obsessed with dehumidifiers as I am, you’ll love this one from De’Longhi. Not only does it dry clothes, but it does so without leaving behind that damp smell that can linger during winter.

Dehumidifiers expert Rachael gave this model a glowing eview, especially praising its laundry mode. She noted that it “did a great job of speeding up drying time,” making it a real winter game-changer when the washing line is out of action. Plus, at its lowest setting, it’s so quiet you wouldn’t even know it’s running. And here’s the best part—it’s currently cheaper than it was on Black Friday.

Looking to upgrade your smartphone this January? Amazon’s discounted the Google Pixel 8 by a massive 36 per cent for a limited time.

While the Pixel 8 has since been surpassed by the  Pixel 9 as the top Google phone, it remains an excellent Android device at a great price. In tech writer Steve’s review of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro review, he highlighted that both phones offer “significant hardware upgrades over last year’s models,” making the Pixel 8 a smart buy even now.
