Boxing Day Deals: The Absolute Best Sales to Shop This Year

Looking for punchy sound and strong ANC without breaking the bank, we gravitated to Beats Studio Pro. In our testing, noise cancelling competes well with other flagships, USB‑C wired mode unlocks high‑res listening at your desk, and battery life can reach around 40 hours with handy Fast Fuel top‑ups. On the flip side, there’s no auto‑pause, the fit can run tight, and multipoint/connectivity for Apple devices is more limited than other Apple‑brand headphones. At $249.95, it’s a capable commuter upgrade.

AirTag is the easiest way we’ve found to keep track of keys and bags thanks to Apple’s massive Find My network and crowd‑sourced pings. In our testing, Precision Finding on U1 iPhones gave arrow‑guided directions that led us right to a couch cushion or parked car. Caveats: it’s Apple‑only, privacy features and misuse headlines may give some pause, and you’ll replace a CR2032 battery about once a year. At $79.99 for Boxing Day, it’s a no‑brainer add‑on for Apple users.

The PS5 Slim keeps the same fast performance and game library we love, just in a smaller, easier‑to‑fit body with a handy front USB‑C port. In our testing it played exactly like the original, but note some units have 825GB of usable storage, so plan on game management or an external SSD. The vertical stand is sold separately, and DualSense battery life still feels average on long sessions. At $549 this Boxing Day, it’s the PS5 to buy if space is tight.

Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra lived up to the name in our testing, with class‑leading noise cancellation that hushes office chatter and airplane drone better than most rivals. Sound is refined and detailed with excellent separation, and the plush build stays comfortable for long stretches. Trade‑offs include middling battery life—especially with immersive modes on—limited codec support that can add latency for some Android devices and gaming, and smaller ear cups for larger ears. At $429, it’s a top pick for frequent travelers.

For handheld play, the Nintendo Switch OLED is the version we recommend—the 7-inch OLED brings punchier colors and deeper blacks that make games pop. In our review, the sturdier wide kickstand and 64 GB storage (double the base) felt like the most useful upgrades. Just note the CPU/GPU and docked resolution are unchanged, so performance feels dated, and OLED panels can risk burn-in with prolonged static screens. At $389.95 at Best Buy this Boxing Day, it’s a strong buy for handheld-first players, but docked-only folks may prefer the cheaper base.

If you're eyeing an upgrade, LG's OLED evo C5 delivers the deep contrast and vibrant colors we expect from a top-tier TV. In our review of specs and owner feedback, the full HDMI 2.1 suite—4K high refresh and VRR—makes it a standout for gamers. Just note smaller sizes have weaker speakers, and the panel can lose color volume and fine detail in very dark scenes. At $899.99 from LG Electronics this Boxing Day, it’s an excellent mix of cinematic picture quality and next‑gen gaming readiness.

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, AirPods Pro with the MagSafe case deliver seamless pairing and immersive spatial audio. From our review of features and owner reports, ANC is highly effective for commutes and flights, and the case adds Precision Finding and a built‑in speaker to locate them. Fit matters, though—the sound and noise cancellation hinge on getting a proper ear‑tip seal. At $199.00 from Best Buy this Boxing Day, the premium is real, and the non‑replaceable batteries will age, but the convenience is hard to beat.

Cold days are where the 1996 Retro Nuptse shines, delivering serious warmth from high‑fill RDS goose down. In our testing, the relaxed fit made layering easy, and it even packs into its own pocket for travel. Just know it’s not built for heavy rain, the hood may not repel water, and the puffier profile can feel bulky; inspect on arrival as some buyers report defects like holes or internal tears. At $209.99, it’s a cozy Boxing Day grab for deep‑winter commutes and après runs.

Looking for a sleek lounge dress that hugs just right? In our testing, the SKIMS Soft Lounge Long Slip felt like a second skin - the modal-blend fabric is ultra-soft and the curve-skimming cut is flattering on its own or layered. It does run sheer, so plan on seamless or nude undergarments, and the length can overwhelm shorter frames without hemming. Our experience shows some pilling and durability concerns after repeated wears or washes, so wash gently and avoid high heat.

UGG's Classic Ultra Mini is the cozy, low-profile boot we keep reaching for on chilly mornings. In our testing, the plush sheepskin lining felt cloud-soft, and the mini height pairs effortlessly with leggings or wide-leg jeans. Fit can be hit-or-miss, so we recommend trying two sizes, and several reviewers struggled to pull them on at first. Our experience shows a shoehorn helps, but there are reports of premature wear on some pairs, so monitor stitching and soles with regular use.

Home bakers who want a reliable workhorse will appreciate the Artisan 5's durable metal build and 5-quart stainless bowl. In our testing, the 10 speeds delivered consistent results for whipping cream, cake batters, and light-to-medium bread doughs, and the color options plus hub attachments make it easy to expand. It is heavy, so plan on a permanent countertop spot. Our experience shows heavy, frequent doughs can wear gears or bearings, and repairs or parts can be costly and slow.

A jute rug at this price is a steal, and the Rigo instantly adds natural texture that warmed up our test room. We found plenty of sizes and shapes to fit entryways, dining areas, or a living room, but plan on a rug pad—jute can be slippery on smooth floors. Expect some shedding, frayed edges over time, and a strong arrival odor that benefits from a day or two of airing out. At $79, it’s a stylish, budget refresh.

Weeknight cooks will appreciate how light and easy the Always Pan 2.0 is to handle, and our experience shows it’s versatile—induction‑friendly and oven‑safe up to 450°F for finishing dishes. In testing, it excelled at eggs, sautéing, and gentle simmering, though heat is more concentrated in the center than at the edges. The nonstick needs TLC: no dishwasher and expect gradual wear over time. At $80 this Boxing Day, it’s a stylish, low‑effort pan for everyday meals.

If you want to outsource vacuuming, the Roomba j9+ impressed us with strong suction and excellent carpet pickup, and PrecisionVision avoided shoes and cords better than most bots we've used. The self-emptying dock holds debris for about 60 days, meaning far fewer trips to the trash. Downsides are the premium price and notably loud operation on hard floors. Our experience shows the reusable mop pad must be removed and washed after each mopping run, so plan that extra step.

If you want a sharp, minimalist upgrade, Material’s Trio set nails the essentials with an 8‑inch chef, 6‑inch serrated, and 4‑inch paring knife. We found the Japanese‑steel blades slice cleanly and feel balanced, making everyday prep—from tomatoes to crusty baguettes—fast and precise. You’ll need to hand‑wash, there’s no storage block, and specialty blades aren’t included. At $170 for Boxing Day, it’s a sleek, high‑performance starter trio for cooks who value quality over quantity.

If your holiday bins are a mess, this Wayfair Basics cube brings order for under twenty bucks. We found the moisture-resistant exterior and zippered lid helpful for damp basements, and it holds up to 112 small ornaments with easy-carry handles. The tradeoff is flexible sides that don't stack well, and the cardboard dividers can feel flimsy - reinforce them for fragile keepsakes. It's designed for ornaments around 2.25 inches, so larger pieces may require removing dividers or using a separate box.

For countertop versatility, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL impressed us with its roomy interior that fits a full sheet pan and larger dishes. During our review it baked, toasted, roasted, and air‑fried evenly, turning out crisp veggies and weeknight sheet‑pan dinners. The trade‑offs: it’s loud in air‑fry modes, the exterior/top gets dangerously hot so give it clearance, and cleaning splatter can be tedious—line trays when you can. At $249.99, it’s a powerful Boxing Day upgrade for small kitchens.

The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute is our go‑to when you want top‑tier cleaning—suction is excellent on both carpet and hard floors. In our review of features, the hard‑floor laser was surprisingly useful for catching fine particles you’d otherwise miss, and HEPA filtration helps allergy‑prone homes. It’s pricey and heavier than many rivals, which can tire your wrist on long sessions, and some users note parts availability issues. At $849.99 from Walmart (Dyson, Inc.) this Boxing Day, it’s a premium pick for deep, data‑driven cleaning.

For aspiring home baristas, the Breville Barista Express is a proven all‑in‑one that lets you grind fresh beans straight into the portafilter. In our review, once dialed in it can pull café‑quality shots and the steam wand produces fine microfoam for latte art. Expect a learning curve, and note that the built‑in grinder may need maintenance or upgrades over time; some users also report louder operation and repair hassles. At $549.95 from Whole Latte Love this Boxing Day, it’s a strong value if you’re willing to practice and tinker.

The Sonicare 4100 is an easy upgrade from a manual brush—during our review, it removed plaque more effectively and left teeth feeling smoother. Battery life stretches for weeks, and the built‑in pressure sensor helps curb over‑brushing. Downsides: the slimmer handle may feel small in larger hands, there’s no wall plug in the box (USB‑A cable only), and replacement heads cost more than some rivals. At $39.99 this Boxing Day, it’s a wallet‑friendly way to step up your oral care.

If you’ve been waiting for a deal on the Dyson Airwrap, this Multi‑Styler kit covers curling, smoothing, and diffusing with quick‑swap magnetic attachments. Our review of performance and user feedback shows it dries and styles with less direct heat, which can help reduce long‑term damage, and the motor’s steady airflow speeds up routines. There’s a learning curve to getting consistent curl direction and hold, and the price is still steep. At $399.97 at Nordstrom Rack this Boxing Day, it’s a smart splurge—just keep warranty and durability in mind.

For low-impact days and lounging, we keep coming back to lululemon's Aligns because the Nulu fabric is exceptionally soft and weightless. In our testing, the high-rise stayed put without squeezing, and the many lengths and colorways made it simple to dial in the right look. Even at this $69 price, they're still pricier than many leggings, and pilling can show with repeated washes. Our experience shows sizing can vary between runs, so consider trying two sizes to compare.

These Athleta Salutation Stash 7/8 leggings balance comfort and control well: the compressive high-rise waistband keeps everything supported, and Powervita fabric feels soft and dries fast in sweaty classes. We loved the bonded side pockets for keys or a phone. Heads up that the sewn fold-over waistband can bunch or feel stiff, and many shoppers size up because they run tight. Our experience shows some durability issues over time; watch for seam fraying and preserve them with cold washes and air-drying.

Runners who want serious training tools will appreciate the latest Garmin Forerunner's vibrant, always-on AMOLED screen that's easy to read mid-stride. During our review, Training Readiness and advanced running dynamics helped us fine-tune workouts, and GPS and heart-rate accuracy proved reliably strong for road and multisport tracking. At $449.99, it's pricier than the Forerunner 255 and some competitors, and the AMOLED comes with a battery-life tradeoff. It also lacks full onboard maps and ECG hardware found on higher-end models.

Prefer a planner that's fun and portable? We found Ban.do's Classic Academic Planner easy to toss in a tote at about 8.125 by 5.125 inches, and the three sticker pages, coloring page, and pocket make planning feel playful. The dated 17-month spread from August 2025 through December 2026 means you can start right away. Just know the weekly spreads are unlined with limited space, so it's not ideal for heavy task management - better for class schedules, quick notes, and reminders.

Power users will love the Anker 737's ability to push up to 140W over USB-C - during our review it juiced a laptop at near wall speeds and its 24,000mAh capacity kept phones and tablets going all weekend. The OLED display is genuinely handy, showing per-port wattage and remaining capacity at a glance. It is heavy for a carry-on or daily commute. Our experience shows some compatibility quirks (including occasional restart/OVP warnings) and, as with most banks, real-world capacity falls short of the rated mAh.
