While the Christmas celebrations are just getting started, a slew of high-profile retailers have already kicked off their Boxing Day sales before even the sprouts have been prepped for the big day. Moreover, there’s an abundance of items likely to top wishlists with substantial deals, including Dyson hair gadgets and premium perfumes.
With the first Black Friday deals for 2024 appearing a full 32 days ahead of the shopping extravaganza, bargain seekers might have anticipated a few key brands to take a gamble early with some pre-Christmas deals for last-minute shoppers. However, as of this morning, a number of major retailers have launched some of the year’s biggest deals so far, including Dyson,Ninja, Shark, Debenhams, Oodie, Ugg and Roman, with some discounts matching or surpassing the November sales.
Not only can shoppers indulge in a range of essentials and desirable items, but there’s also the opportunity to bag hefty savings on last-minute gifts for loved ones if you’re comfortable with waiting for delivery. Here’s our selection of some of the most significant deals so far.
Dyson
If you’ve been eyeing up high-powered hair gadgets, they are the standout deal in Dyson’s Boxing Day sale, alongside heaters, air purifiers and of course the iconic vacuums that started it all, reports Wales Online.
In the beauty department, limited edition shades and free extras with purchases are on offer for many of their top-selling products. There’s also a £50 discount on the Dyson Airstrait, and you can save £70 on the Supersonic hairdryer, which comes with a complimentary storage case.
If you’re planning to kickstart your spring cleaning early for 2025, there’s a massive £170 off the Gen5Detect vacuum, while their entry-level V8 model has been reduced by £120, bringing it down to £209.
Ninja
The kitchen gadget experts are wrapping up a busy year in which they’ve launched numerous new products with a sale on many of their most popular lines. While not all the discounts surpass those offered on Black Friday, there are still savings of up to £90 on many of their much-loved air fryers and multi-cookers.
The Ninja DoubleStack, which boasts a slim design but double height for cooking and has been a hit with shoppers short on counter space in smaller kitchens, is not only £70 off but also comes with freebies including silicone tongs and an apron.
Shoppers are also hurrying to snap up some of their lower-priced items, such as knife blocks, kettles (including this one, now at its lowest ever price), and travel bottles, which have been reduced by 33% to £19.99.
Shark
For those planning a post-Christmas spruce-up, Shark is offering up to £150 off some of its most sought-after vacuum cleaners in its Boxing Day sale, including high-powered robot and pet hair models. The WandVac cordless vacuum, a favourite of Mrs Hinch that sold out on Black Friday, is not only back in stock but also reduced to £99.99, a significant saving of £80.
Beauty enthusiasts can also rejoice with deals on the brand’s SpeedStyle hairdryer and SmoothStyle hot brush, as well as a discount on the trendy Wicked-themed FlexStyle multi-tool, now down to £229.99.
Debenhams
While Debenhams may no longer be a high street presence, savvy shoppers have long recognised the brand’s website as a prime spot for substantial discounts on both branded and unbranded items. Their Blue Cross sale is currently offering up to 70% off, with an additional 20% off 10,000 lines.
With everything from designer watches marked down from £2,295 to £267, to perfume and bedlinen, there’s plenty to pique interest.
Oodie
Oodie made waves with some of the largest discounts on Black Friday, delighting customers by slashing prices by a whopping 50% across the site. While the Oodie Boxing Day sale doesn’t cover everything this time around, there are actually better-than-Black Friday savings on many of their flagship products.
Highlights include the original Oodie reduced to £29, marking a 55% discount, Outdoor Oodies down to £54.50, and half-price puffer boots.
Amazon
Amazon, the go-to for many of us for last-minute shopping, has plenty to offer even after the final order dates have passed. Their sale focuses on Amazon devices, which may seem like a narrow selection until you consider that in recent years this has grown to encompass everything from tablets to smart TVs, as well as brands like Ring and Blink for smart home and security technology.
Ugg
Ugg, a festive favourite for many, has slashed the price of some of its top-selling slippers by 30%, with comfy clogs available in various colours and sizes now reduced from £140 to £98. Ugg’s Winter Sale offers plenty more choices, with indoor and outdoor footwear for men, women, and children all heavily discounted – including the brand’s Essential Mini Classic Boot.
Roman
Roman has not only launched their sale early, featuring everything from party outfits to pyjamas and wardrobe essentials, but they’re also offering 99p next day delivery and an extra 10% off for a limited time. Coats are reduced by up to 41%, including this stylish and warm faux fur aviator jacket, now just £35, down from £60.
Face the Future
If you’re in the market for discounted high-end skincare, Face the Future’s winter sale offers up to 40% off brands such as ESPA, NEOM, Olaplex and Augustinus Bader. This is one of the first significant beauty brand sales to consider, with substantial discounts available on both beauty essentials and gift options like NEOM’s Wellbeing Pod.
