The original robot vacuum cleaner, Roomba is still the pack-leader when it comes to cute, hoovering robo-friends. The i3 is the latest model and it can map out your floorplan as it cleans to create an optimal route around the house. If its battery is running low, it scoots back to its charging base for a quick top up before picking up where it left off.

If the winter weather is making you feel like you need to fake a sunkissed glow, we’ve just spotted that one of our favourite face tanners has been discounted. “Cleverly formulated, Tan-Luxe excels at creating self-tan skincare hybrids that nourish and hydrate while delivering a natural, sun-kissed finish,” noted our writer in their review. “It works wonders on our acne-prone, sensitive skin and has replaced our usual hyaluronic acid thanks to its glow-giving properties,” they added.

The absolute best Boxing Day sales worth shopping today
You don’t want to miss Marks & Spencer’s Boxing Day sale
15:45 , Eva Waite-Taylor
M&S x Ghost animal print V-neck midi tea dress: Was £69, now £45, Marksandspencer.com
As collaborations go, M&S and Ghost’s is a firm favourite of ours. And this animal print midi is the perfect winter number that can be dressed up and down. Reflecting Ghost’s signature vintage-inspired silhouette, it’s a dress that you’ll likely wear on repeat.
Marks & Spencer Milan large round mirror: Was £79, now £63.20, Marksandspencer.com
At 80cm, this mirror looks almost triple its price. It’s the perfect home accessory that will work to make a small room feel brighter and more spacious. It’s available in three colours, black, silver and gold – the latter being our favourite. And now at £63, if you’ve been considering making the investment, now’s the time to do it.
Pandora’s Boxing Day sale is shining bright
15:35 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Owing to its popularity, it’s no surprise that Pandora’s Boxing Day sale is one of the most eagerly anticipated. And it’s currently offering whopping discounts on its jewellery – here’s what’s worth buying:
Pandora curb chain necklace: Was £125, now £62, Pandora.net
Cast your mind back to June 2020 and you may remember how a chain worn by Connell Waldron (aka Paul Mescal) brought necklace mania to the UK. We think this example is a perfect everyday piece, that would look great layered with other chains and pendants.
Pandora flower stem slider bracelet: Was £150, now £48, Pandora.net
This gold-plated bracelet is sure to add a little extra glam to any outfit, especially thanks to the addition of the small crystals on the band. The clasp can be adjusted for the perfect fit. Reduced by 60 per cent, we almost had to do a double-take at this deal.
H&M’s Boxing Day sale is a fashion and homeware lovers dream
15:15 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Sound the fashion alarm: the Swedish high street giant has already kicked off its sale with up to 50 per cent off every category, including womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, home and beauty. We’ve got our eyes on this relaxed fit fleece top (was £24.99, now £15, Hm.com), and we’re lusting after this plant pot (was £19.99, now £10, Hm.com) for our home.
What to buy in Ralph Lauren’s Boxing Day sale
15:00 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Ralph Lauren slim fit striped oxford shirt: Was £109, now £63.50, Ralphlauren.co.uk
Known for its preppy basics, if you’re in the market for a new shirt, Ralph Lauren is a great destination. This striped number is designed to be a slim fit, but we think if you size up it’ll be a little baggier. As these don’t usually come cheap, we’d recommend snapping this up while you can.
Top picks from Amazon’s Boxing Day sale
14:55 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Online retailer Amazon does not mess around when it comes to sale events, so you’re in safe hands if you want to bag a bargain this Boxing Day. Below are just two of our favourite offers:
Amazon Fire stick lite with Alexa voice remote lite: Was £29.99, now £14.99, Amazon.co.uk
The Amazon Fire stick lite is the most affordable TV stick that Amazon has on offer. With 50 per cent off, the device comes with an Alexa voice note remote, plus thousands of apps and channels including BBC iPlayer, Disney+ and Netflix. It’s also simple to set up – just plug this nifty Fire stick into the back of your TV and let the binging session commence.
Tefal ActiFry genius XL 2-in-1 air fryer: Was £284.99, now £148.99, Amazon.co.uk
Want to cook healthier meals in 2022, but refuse to even contemplate giving up chips? You need an air fryer. Requiring just a spoonful of oil, or sometimes none at all depending on the recipe, the Tefal ActiFry will help to keep your oil intake down while still cooking the dishes you love.
This particular model is large enough to cook for the entire family, and features a two-in-one tray that can be programmed to fry every part of the meal to perfection, and have them finish at the same time. We loved it so much we featured it in our list of the best air fryers, where our reviewer called it “a great choice for anyone desperate for new mealtime inspiration who wants fantastic tasting food every time with minimal effort”.

The best deals in Currys Boxing Day sale
14:00 , Eva Waite-Taylor
There are huge savings to be had at Currys, but these are our top picks:
Fitbit versa 3, black: Was £199, now £159, Currys.co.uk
Fitbit’s versa model is among its most successful and it’s easy to see why, with the third iteration of the range offering everything you’d want from an everyday smartwatch and fitness tracker. “This is the smartwatch for fitness-focused users that still want a good-looking, contemporary-styled product with enough smart features to help in everyday life,” praised our reviewer. And while the versa 3 definitely has its main focus on the fitness market, there’s also heavy investment in general wellness through ECG, sleep and blood-oxygen saturation sensors.
Bose QuietComfort wireless bluetooth noise-cancelling earbuds: Was £249, now £199, Currys.co.uk
There’s £50 off Bose’s noise-cancelling QuietComfort earbuds at Currys this Boxing Day. By using an array of microphones to monitor the ambient noise around you, as well as some clever science stuff, the earbuds actively disrupt external soundwaves before they reach your ears. The result is a cocoon of near-perfect silence while you listen to your music, making these earbuds ideal for commutes or working anywhere noisy. They’re sweat resistant, so you can work out in them, and with the charging case you get up to 18 hours of battery life.
The AllSaints Boxing Day sale is a whopper – here’s what we’re buying
13:45 , Eva Waite-Taylor
AllSaints is a brand to know when it comes to wardrobe heroes, and its sales are not to be missed – it’s currently offering 20 per cent off everything.
At the top of our wishlist is the balfern leather jacket (was £319 now £255.20, Allsaints.com), which was named best buy in our guide to the best women’s leather jackets. Our writer noted that “it’s made from a soft leather and is finished with the typical silver hardware you’d expect from a biker jacket”. They added that “you simply cannot beat AllSaints’s craftsmanship and style, making this a standout purchase you won’t regret”.

How long do Boxing Day sales last?
13:11 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Are you wondering how long you can benefit from the impressive deals for? The Boxing Day sales more often than not now merge with the January sales, meaning the discounts can last for days, weeks or even the full month depending on the retailer.
While the wording may change from Boxing Day sales to January sales around the end of December, and there’s always the possibility of more products being added throughout the month, essentially the two are the same with retailers shifting their leftover stock from 2021 to make way for the new year pieces.

How to get an extra 10% off in PLT’s Boxing Day sale
13:00 , Eva Waite-Taylor
PLT is known for its whopping discounts. And its Boxing Day sale is not to be missed. The clothing brand is offering up to 70 per cent off everything. But that’s not all because you can also get an extra 10 per cent off already discounted items by using the code: “EXTRA10”.
If it were us, we’d opt for this black longline padded puffer (was £38, now £23.40, Prettylittlething.com), which looks cosy and warm, and even features a hood for extra protection from the elements. Similarly, we love this belted knitted jumper dress (was £28, now £21.60, Prettylittlething.com), which we’d wear all winter.

As products go, this is a cult favourite from Benefit. And when our writer tested it, they noted how impressed they were with it, finding that it “adds oodles of volume to our lashes which are naturally pretty short, and plenty of length, that instantly makes us look more awake”. It has a buildable formula, which means “it didn’t clump together and you could layer it up for a more dramatic finish”.

12:10 , Eva Waite-Taylor

With £66 off, this dish is quite the steal if you’re looking to up your kitchenware game, or add to a much-loved collection. A very similar oval-shaped dish won the best buy in our round-up of the best casserole dishes. Our reviewer said: “It’s an obvious choice for casseroles and soups of course, but this dish has also become our go-to when roasting meat for a super-succulent Sunday roast.” Also adding that “we were most impressed by its weight though, which was noticeably lighter than all the other cast-iron dishes we tested”.

Rated the best for big families in our guide to the best cordless vacuum cleaners, our reviewer said: “It’s easy to move along carpets and wooden floors, while the max setting has incredible suction.

Apple’s AirPods pro earbuds are just £189 right now
09:10 , Eva Waite-Taylor
As brand’s go, Apple is notorious for not taking part in sales, but you’re likely to find competitive prices from third party retailers this Boxing Day. Case in point on the tech giant’s popular earbuds.
