Don't Miss Out: Best Boxing Day Sales Worth Shopping 2025

Portable play looks better here: the Switch OLED’s 7‑inch screen serves up deeper blacks and vibrant colors, while the wider adjustable kickstand finally makes tabletop multiplayer sturdy and comfortable. Docking adds a built‑in Ethernet port for steadier online sessions, though performance remains the same as the original Switch. Bright daylight can still wash the screen and the 64GB storage fills fast—plan on a microSD card if you download lots of games or capture frequent screenshots.

For movie nights and next-gen gaming, the LG C4 OLED evo stands out with excellent color accuracy, deep blacks, and improved HDR brightness versus prior C‑series models. In our testing, four HDMI 2.1 ports and very low input lag made it a stellar match for PS5, Xbox Series X, and high‑end PCs. Be mindful that SDR brightness may struggle in very bright rooms, panel tint can vary, and the built‑in speakers are just average—many buyers will want a soundbar.

These headphones are road-trip and open-office saviors: during our review, the WH‑1000XM6 delivered excellent active noise cancellation that tamed both high-pitched chatter and low engine rumble. We found the lightweight, comfy design and 30‑plus hours of ANC playback easy to live with, and the sound is richly detailed. Downsides are the premium price, no official water resistance for workouts, and a few hinge/fit durability concerns—use a protective case and handle gently if you plan to wear them daily.

If you want an iPad that balances power and price, the 11‑inch iPad Air with the M2 chip feels snappy for multitasking, creative apps, and games. The Liquid Retina display is crisp and comfortable for note‑taking, and it pairs nicely with Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard for school or light professional work. Trade‑offs include shorter battery life under heavy loads, no Pro‑level perks like ProRes, and Touch ID instead of Face ID, which some users find less convenient.

For a speedy, hassle-free storage bump, the Samsung 990 EVO shines in everyday use with strong random access that helps games load quickly and apps feel snappy. Its flexible PCIe 4.0 x4 or 5.0 x2 modes improve compatibility with new builds, and Samsung Magician plus a five‑year warranty add peace of mind. Just know it performs more like a fast PCIe 4.0 drive, with inconsistent PCIe 5.0 results and a DRAM‑less HMB design that can throttle sustained throughput.

Pet hair and daily crumbs are no match for the Shark Stratos IZ862H—during our review, suction was among the strongest we’ve seen in a cordless stick, and DuoClean PowerFins with a self‑cleaning brushroll kept tangles at bay. The MultiFLEX wand is a back-saver, bending to reach under couches and folding for closet-friendly storage. Battery life drops quickly in high‑suction Boost, the wand hinge has durability complaints, and the price is premium—great performance, but best for quick, targeted cleanups.

Power users will appreciate the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 smoothness—apps, photo edits, and games flew in our testing, and the 6.8‑inch OLED stayed readable even in harsh sunlight. Battery life regularly stretched a full day or more for us. That said, the big, hefty build isn’t ideal for one‑handed use, the price is steep, and Galaxy AI tools can feel inconsistent, so buy it for the performance, display, and battery first, extras second.

Battery Doorbell Pro delivered the clearest Ring video we’ve tested, with head‑to‑toe 1536p HD+ and a broad 150° by 150° view that made package spotting effortless. Radar‑powered 3D Motion Detection and Bird’s Eye Zones cut false alerts and map motion precisely. Our experience shows battery life lands around three to six months, and you’ll need a Ring Protect plan for recording and package alerts. If you already own a recent Ring, the premium price may not feel like a must‑upgrade, though flexible battery, wired, or solar power is appreciated.

If hot‑and‑cold spots drive you nuts, the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium’s included remote sensors really help balance rooms in our testing. Built‑in air quality monitoring is a nice touch, and it plays well with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Setup can be trickier—many homes need a C‑wire or adapter—and some users report occasional quirks with temperature or humidity accuracy. Also note that advanced features like smoke/burglar alarm support require a subscription, so budget for ongoing costs alongside the Boxing Day price.

For bedrooms, dorms, or desks, the Echo Pop’s compact, colorful shell slots in neatly and Alexa heard us reliably during our review. It can double as an eero Wi‑Fi range extender and a Matter controller, which makes it a handy smart‑home starter. Audio is the compromise—bass is thin and it distorts if you push volume—and it lacks the motion and temperature sensors found on some Echo siblings. A few users have noted intermittent connectivity or firmware‑related audio hiccups, too.

Craving faster weeknight dinners? The Ninja Foodi’s DualZone, dual-basket setup lets you air-fry two foods simultaneously, and in our testing Smart Finish and Match Cook kept both baskets perfectly synchronized. Its generous 10‑quart capacity suits family portions and game-day snacks without juggling batches. Do note some users report initial manufacturing odor and noticeable operating noise, and there are occasional reliability complaints—air it out on the first runs and consider an extended warranty if you’ll use it heavily.

If quiet cleaning is a must, the Bosch 800 Series is hard to beat—our experience shows cycles hum around 42 dBA while still scrubbing tough messes and drying better with CrystalDry. The adjustable third rack is great for spatulas, lids, and crowded flatware, maximizing space in a 24‑inch footprint. Trade‑offs include a slightly tighter interior than some rivals, occasionally finicky top controls and app connectivity, and sporadic dispenser or CrystalDry service issues, so an extended warranty can be smart.

Apartment dwellers will love the space-saving, ventless heat pump design on GE’s all‑in‑one PFQ97, which sips energy compared with conventional dryers and uses SmartDispense plus app control to simplify daily laundry. In our experience, drying performance can be uneven—larger or mixed loads may come out damp—and the filter and internal coil trap hair, demanding frequent cleaning. Multiple users also report reliability hiccups and slow service, so plan smaller loads, keep up with maintenance, and consider retailer or manufacturer protection.

The Pegasus 41 is a dependable daily trainer if you want stability first. In our testing, the plush, breathable engineered mesh kept feet cool, and the ReactX foam with Air Zoom units gave the heel real pop off the ground. The forefoot feels on the firm side and the shoe runs heavier than many everyday trainers, so long miles or marathon day may call for something softer. For steady paced runs and gym days, though, it’s a versatile workhorse at $145.

Luxury brushing is the 9900 Prestige’s calling card: during our review, SenseIQ automatically eased power when we pressed too hard, and the slim, quiet handle was effortless to clean. The leather‑effect travel case and USB‑C charging made it genuinely travel‑friendly. Downsides are real—the $399.99 price stings, most settings live in the app with no on‑handle controls, and some users report durability or charging/contact hiccups over time. If Boxing Day discounts hit, it becomes a compelling upgrade for meticulous brushers.

Looking for a bold lip without the fuss? In our testing, G Suit delivered opaque, high‑impact color in a single swipe, and the creamy, cushiony formula felt kind to dry lips. The pointed applicator makes precise edges doable even without liner. Keep in mind it doesn’t fully dry down—expect some transfer with meals—and some shades skew in undertone, so not every skin tone will find a perfect match. Still, for buttery comfort and statement payoff at $24, it’s hard to beat.

If you love gathering around a fire without smelling like one, the Bonfire 2.0’s double‑wall airflow produced a much cleaner, low‑smoke burn in our testing. We found the removable ash pan makes cleanup a two‑minute job, and its relatively lightweight build is easy to toss in the car for camping or tailgates. Just know it’s pricier than many traditional pits, consumes wood faster, and doesn’t radiate heat outward as strongly. Catch it on Boxing Day and it’s an excellent patio centerpiece.

Serious weeknight grilling is where the Spirit II E‑310 shines: three 10,000‑BTU burners got ripping‑hot for searing during our review, and heat stayed impressively even across the grates. The heavy‑gauge build and cast‑iron cooking surface feel built to last. Trade‑offs: the open undercarriage leaves your tank and tools exposed, there’s no side burner for sauces, and the built‑in thermometer ran off in our experience—use an external probe. If you value reliable performance over frills, this is a smart Boxing Day pick.

For a simple backup boost, the Anker 313 hits the sweet spot: in our testing, its slim, lightweight body disappeared in a pocket and the 10,000mAh capacity topped up most phones a couple of times. We found trickle‑charge mode handy for earbuds and fitness bands. The trade‑off is speed and flexibility—there’s just one usable USB‑A output, no modern PD fast‑charging, and on some versions the USB‑C is input‑only. Great as a just‑in‑case bank, less ideal for power‑hungry road warriors.
