Where to find Boxing Day deals for home
Boxing Day deals can help you to set in place some New Year home resolutions. Whether it's to keep your space clean and de-cluttered, or invest in that product that was maybe a bit too sensible to pop on your Christmas list, there are plenty of brands to shop in time for the New Year sales.
Amazon
Selling everything but the kitchen sink, Amazon is the place to go if you want a guaranteed deal. You can shop the top deals of the day, or search savings for leading brands such as Dyson, Shark, Ninja, and Tefal.
Dunelm
We're always impressed with Dunelm's range of styles and interior must-haves, and the brand is known to put on a great sale. The Big Sale is now on with up to 50% off on selected items.
Dyson
Obviously, Dyson is the maker of the iconic Airwrap, but you can also shop a number of the brand's world-leading vacuum cleaners in time for the New Year with the brand's Winter Event
Lakeland
If you're hoping to update your kitchen appliances or cookware this New Year, Lakeland is the place to go. You can buy some of the best induction pans on the market, as well as cleaning products for a spotless Spring clean.
Ninja
We've tried the best Ninja air fryers, as well as a number of the brand's leading kitchen appliances such as blenders and even frying pans, and any chance to pick up this brand at a discount is one we recommend taking.
Ruggable
You can depend on Ruggable to furnish your floors in style. The washable, removable cover is a complete game-changer for spaces with a lot of footfall, making it the perfect product to refresh your space in an instant.
Where to find Boxing Day deals for fashion
Discounted Christmas jumpers aside, Boxing Day sales can offer the perfect chance to make great savings on genuinely useful items you can wear year-round. From cosy cashmere at a discounted price to those boots you've had your eye on all winter long, here's where we recommend shopping.
Anthropologie
Anthropologie offers unique and plush fabrics in cuts that are guaranteed to flatter, but the price could well stop you adding that fashion buy to your basket. The Boxing Day sale makes accessories and clothing even more desirable.
Boden
Offering cheery and timeless styles for women and kids, Boden does a great sale in up to a size 22. We particularly recommend their knitwear, which stands the test of time wash after wash.
Hobbs
If snappy dressing is on your New Years wishlist, Hobbs is a great place to shop the Boxing Day sales. There's a huge selection of workwear, as well as coats and accessories that you could still wear for the months to come.
John Lewis & Partners
You can save on Barbour, Whistles and Mint Velvet when you shop the Christmas sales at John Lewis. As a go-to retailer for gifting, there are plenty of discounts to see us into the New Year in womenswear and beyond.
The White Company
Elevated basics don't get much better than The White Company. We love the brand's range of knitwear, but the sale also features cosy loungewear and chic jackets that can become an instant staple in any capsule wardrobe.
Zara
With current discounts of up to 50%, Zara knows how to do a great sale. The brand currently has a great selection of reduced coats and jumpers which can add some signature pieces to help you switch between seasons.
Where to find Boxing Day deals for beauty
Your skin needs different products as we switch between seasons, so whether it's a more glowy moisturiser to tackle any winter dryness, or a deeply replenishing serum to assist in a New Year skin detox, these Boxing Day beauty deals cover all bases.
Beauty Pie
Beauty Pie allows you to save on beauty year-round, offering luxury-standard products at a discounted price for members. You can get a free 60-day trial to try out their bestsellers - we recommend the Collagen Lip Oil and their tinted moisturiser.

When do Boxing Day deals start?
Boxing Day takes place today on 26th December, which means brands that partake in Boxing Day Sales, kick them off today!
As for New Year sales, these tend to be a continuation of Boxing Day discounts that run into January. They offer a great chance to save on New Year's resolution must-haves, as well as the classic fitness essentials people tend to invest in to get back in action after a restful Holiday season.
Are Boxing Day deals better than New Year deals?
Boxing Day deals and New Year deals are hard to compare, because New Year savings are typically a continuation of Boxing Day savings. Typically, after-Christmas savings tend to see reductions in limited-edition gifting stock, which means you can buy a discounted gift for yourself or a loved one if you shop on the 26th.
New Year deals, by contrast, tend to look towards the year ahead with investments that set the tone for January. Think health kicks, classic wardrobe staples to see you through the colder months, and skincare heroes that will help you to feel a bit fresher once you've finished your Christmas leftovers!
What to expect in the Boxing Day sales
From what we're seeing so far, Boxing Day sales will help you save big in 2023. First, there are discounted Christmas gifts and decor that you can savvily stock up on for next year, and there's also a selection of fashion savings to see you through the rest of the winter months for less.
You can also expect sales to last through to the end of January, which is why many people call this season the New Year sales or January sales for 2024. It's the perfect time to stock up on all those items you need to see you through the year ahead.
