Black Friday deals are over for another year, but these are the Boxing Day sales we're looking forward to
Black Friday deals for 2023 have been and gone, meaning the Boxing Day sales will be your next big chance to secure a discount at Ninja, Emma, Dyson, Shark and more
Quick Menu
Black Friday and Cyber Monday might be over, and while there are still multiple big name retailers offering great discounts, we're also looking forward to the Boxing Day sales as the next best opportunity to grab a bargain.
You'll find discounts on bestselling mattresses at Emma, money off Ninja air fryers, and reductions on Shark and Dyson vacuum cleaners, as well as deals to be found on Kenwood and KitchenAid stand mixers, Sage and De'Longhi kitchen appliances.
Whether you want to use the deals below to save cash on a major purchase or to spread the cost of Christmas by shopping in ongoing sales, these deals are a great opportunity to shop for less. We've spent countless hours trying and testing everything from sofa beds, to coffee machines, air fryers to mattresses, so if anyone knows what they're on about - and what's worth shopping - it's us.
We've rounded up the Ideal Home team's top picks this December below, as well as weighing up whether the upcoming Boxing Day sales are worth shopping.

Kitchen appliance deals
Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer AF300UK | was £249 now £179.00 at Very
Ninja is the air fryer brand name you need to know, and this is a star Ninja air fryer deal. We rate it as the best performing air fryer money can buy in our Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer review, and, it'll look good on your countertop too.
Sage the Bambino Espresso Machine | was £479 now £329 at Currys
The much-loved Sage the Bambino Espresso Machine is currently an amazing price at Currys. If you have a coffee lover in your life, we think this is the gift to snap up. Our five-star Sage Bambino review has all the details you need.
Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer 8-in-1 Air Fryer | was £169.99 now £115 at Amazon
It's all about the windows with this pick, our second favourite tried-and-tested dual zone air fryer. If – like our testers – you prefer to be able to see your food as it crisps up, then the Instant Vortex is for you, and it currently at its lowest price ever at Argos.
Ninja Foodi Dual Zone AD300UK | was £219.99 now £175 at Amazon
Since Ninja Dual Zones are the popular choice of the moment (and with good reason!) we're delighted to find another deal, and a similar model gained 5 stars in our review to boot. The offer is for AO members, but you can pick it up for £149.00 without signing up, if you prefer.
Tower Dual Basket Air Fryer | was £129.99, now £99.99 at Tower
With 6 pre-set functions available on this dual zone appliance and a generous 7.6L capacity, this is a great option when you're looking to feed the whole family. We've not tested this exact model, but reviews of their other air fryers have been positive.
Tefal Easy Fry 3-in-1 FW201827 Air Fryer, Grill and Steamer | was £199 now £99 at Currys
For smaller spaces, this single basket air fryer is a neat option. It's still got a good capacity (6.2L), and is delightfully easy to clean inside and out. Our reviewer was impressed upon testing, too.
Kenwood KMX750 kMix Stand Mixer | was £479.99 now £249 at Amazon
Our Kenwood kMix stand mixer review rated this the best stand mixer overall. It's good value with a user-friendly design, and its stylish good looks will elevate any kitchen worktop. Plus, it's currently on offer at a great price on Amazon.
Nespresso Vertuo Plus | was £199.99 now £139 at Amazon
Who doesn't love a Nespresso deal, especially when it comes in at almost £100? The Vertuo Plus offers high-quality coffee and sleek good looks at an affordable price point.
KitchenAid Mini Stand Mixer in Matte Black | was £399.00 now £329.00 at John Lewis & Partners
That said, if your heart is set on KitchenAid, this deal on the Mini Stand Mixer has also caught our eye. The larger KitchenAid Artisan mixer is a bit of an icon, but we don't all have the surface area, storage space, or budget for one! This slimmed-down version is 20% smaller but has the same strong motor included, as well as a good-sized 3.3L bowl. It's definitely on our Christmas wishlist.
Cusisinart Easy Prep Pro FP8U Food Processor | was £138.00 now £69.99 at Currys
In our best food processor round-up, this device was named best for everyday use, thanks to its easy to use functions, neat footprint and compact nature. Win, win and win.
Sleep deals
Simba Hybrid Mattress | was from £809 now from £485.40 at Simba
One of Simba's bestselling mattresses, and a favourite with our review team (read more in our Simba Hybrid Mattress review), this option offers 2500 coil springs for a more responsive sleep surface, alongside 5 layers of aerated foam cushioning.
Panda Memory Foam Pillow | was £44.95 now £40.46 at Panda
This memory foam pillow is a bestseller for good reason, and is always a top pick in our guide to the best pillows. Plus, it's now even more affordable thanks to Panda's up to 30% off sale.
Emma Original Mattress | was from £317 now from £253.60 at Emma
Doing away with coil springs, the Emma Original mattress features a foam core with a memory foam upper. The affordable price point makes it one of the brand's bestsellers, and it's now an even better deal in the sale. Read our Emma Original mattress review for the full lowdown.
Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket | was £35.00 now £24.39 at Amazon
This already affordable electric blanket is now an even better price thanks to this deal. It may be no-frills, but it does the job and offers an economical way to stay warm this winter.
Emma Luxe Cooling Mattress | was from £929 now from £418.05 at Emma
A little more investment will get you Emma's latest launch, the Luxe Cooling mattress. Our Emma Luxe Cooling mattress review confirms it solves a common niggle with owners of the now discontinued Emma Premium mattress by delivering a far more breathable sleep.
Laundry deals
Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier | was £189.99 now £159.99 at Amazon
This 12L Pro Breeze dehumidifier isn't without its faults, as you'll see in our Pro Breeze 12L Low Energy Dehumidifier review. However, it is an affordable buy that does the job, and with the current discount it's now an even better budget buy.
Morphy Richards 303251 EasyCHARGE Power+ Cordless Black Iron | was £69.99, now £46.98 at Amazon
Cordless, sleek and now with a nice discount off, this is a fab iron to pick up today. And did we mention it's our #1 pick of the best irons after testing it?
Pro Breeze 20L/Day Dehumidifier | was £219.99 now £199.99 at Amazon
We haven't tested this exact Pro Breeze dehumidifier, but it's the predecessor of the Pro Breeze 20L Premium Dehumidifier with Special Laundry Mode (just without the dedicated Laundry Mode) and remains a bestseller thanks to its impressive 20L per day extraction rate.
Cleaning deals
Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum IZ400UKT | was £429.99 now £279.99 at Shark
Our Shark Stratos IZ420UKT Cordless Vacuum review rated this the best Shark vacuum cleaner yet, and we've tried and tested them all. It's an investment, but current December deals make its price tag a whole lot more affordable. If you need a new vacuum, this is our top choice.
Shark ICZ300UKT Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner | was £429.99 now £289.99 at Amazon
If you prefer an upright vacuum to a stick model, then this Shark vacuum is our top buy. Our Shark ICZ300UKT Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner review found it offered all the freedom of a cordless with the power of an upright, and its current discount makes it a good value investment.
Polti Vaporetto Smart 100_B Steam Cleaner | was £249 now £149.99 at Amazon
Impressive performance, a large water tank, and the flexibility to get under low-lying furniture means we think this is one of the best steam cleaners on the market. However, it's usually a big investment, so this deal is a very welcome sight.
Dyson Gen5detect Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner | was £849.99 now £699.99 at John Lewis & Partners
Yes, this vacuum is still an investment, even when on offer. But our testing team dubbed this 'the best Dyson vacuum money can buy'. It's incredibly powerful, sleek and easy to use and has nifty laser heads which help with pick up. If you've been considering investing in Dyson, now is the time to buy.
Dyson V8| was £329.00 now £229.99 at Dyson
A less expensive Dyson cordless vacuum alternative, the classic V8 is currently on offer. This choice has up to 40 minutes of run time and is equally low-noise despite being so powerful.
Dyson V10 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner | was £429.00 now £329.99 at John Lewis & Partners
Another great Black Friday cordless vacuum deal, this time from Dyson. The Dyson V10 Absolute is a powerhouse of a cordless vacuum cleaner, delivering super strong suction that makes short work of cleaning up dust and crumbs from a variety of floor surfaces.
Shark IZ300UK: was £399.99 now £279.95 at Amazon
One of our favourite vacuum cleaners is now reduced at Amazon. We love the Flexology design that makes it easy to reach under furniture, and it's got a great control panel that switches from hard floor to carpet with ease.
Pro Breeze 1500ml Compact Dehumidifier | was £69.99 now £50.99 at ProBreeze
It only has an extraction rate of 0.5L per day, but this mini dehumidifier is affordable, compact, easy to use, with low running costs of just 1p per hour, that's why it's our top recommendation for best dehumidifier under £100. Find full details in our Pro Breeze 1500ml Mini Dehumidifier review.
Furniture & home decor deals
Jack Sofa | was from £999 now from £399 at Sofa.com
A part of Sofa.com's collaboration with British fashion brand Jack Wills, the Jack sofa is a stylish mix of mid-Century modern and contemporary design with medium-soft foam seating. Upholstery options are limited, but with up to 60% off right now it's currently a very good deal.
Bromley Sofa Bed | was from £2463 now from £1772 at Darlings of Chelsea
It's an investment, but this is one truly multifunctional sofa bed that's just as comfortable as everyday seating as it is for hosting guests – a rare find! Shop it today and secure this fab discount.
ZINUS Mia Metal Platform Bed Frame with Headboard | was from £189.99 now from £123.99 at Amazon
At well under £150 for a double bed, this contemporary black metal bed frame with wooden slat support is incredibly good value. There are also single, king, and super king options available.
Lombard extendable dining table |was £825 now £453.75 at La Redoute
Perfect for entertaining, the super useful Lombard dining table switches from a space-saving 4-seater to a guest-ready 8-seater thanks to its extendable design. It's oak veneer rather than solid wood, but does a great job of emulating the real thing.
Set of 2 Jimi Solid Wood Spindle-Back Chairs | was £199 now £159.20 at La Redoute
Festive hosting season is nearly upon us, and in our opinion you can never have enough chairs. This set of two stylish spindle-back chairs is available in black, white, or natural oak, and will look great mixed and matcxhed with existing dining chair, or used as statement accent chairs.
Jack Sofa | was £999 now £399 at Sofa.com
A part of Sofa.com's collaboration with British fashion brand Jack Wills, the Jack sofa is a stylish mix of mid-Century modern and contemporary design with medium-soft foam seating.
Christmas deals
7ft Sherwood Real Look Full Christmas Tree | was £249.99 now £209.99 at Very
The best artificial Christmas trees have come a long way in recent years with many giving the real thing a run for their money. This Very tree is a bestseller for good reason, and a December discount makes it an even better buy.
Monogram Snowglobe Woody Fresh Balsam & Cedarwood Ceramic Candle | was £36.00 now £26.00 at Anthropologie
Anthropologie's has a limited time promotion on Christmas gifting and there's up to 30% off selected items! Including TikTok favourite, this viral Anthropologie candle that doubles up as a festive snow globe.
7ft Flocked Emperor Christmas Tree | was £129.99 now £109.99 at Very

FAQs
Are Boxing Day sales any good?
Whether you're looking to get ahead and save on next year's Christmas gifts by nabbing a deal on one of the best coffee machines for the coffee aficionado in your life or looking to secure an essential for the new year like a discounted vacuum, Boxing Day sales can be a great time to make a saving.
Boxing Day sales are a particularly great time to shop furniture and decor, but did you know that it's also a great time of year to save on items like mattresses, furniture, and gardening essentials? Basically any big-ticket item you've been putting off purchasing will probably have some money off.
And, it's a great time to think savvy and look ahead to next Christmas, whether by snapping up one of the best artificial Christmas trees on sale, finding a great deal on a luxury advent calendar that didn't quite sell out.
Of course, it can be easy to get swayed by the urgency of big discounts and limited-time offers on Boxing Day, but doing a little research before you buy can ensure you don't make a costly mistake by purchasing a product that doesn't quite fit your requirements.
That's where our 'best of' guides are here to help, curating a selection of the Ideal Home team's tried and tested favourites in each category, and offering plenty of buying advice to make sure you know exactly what specifications to look out for before you shop:

How can I avoid being ripped off in the Boxing Day sales?
‘It’s easy to get carried away, so make a list of what you want in advance,’ advises Danny Munday, general manager of HotUKDeals. It also pays to read reviews and compare prices of the models you like, so you know you’re getting a genuine deal. ‘Check the shipping costs before you order, too,’ adds Danny. ‘Some brands charge so much for postage, it cancels out any savings.’
Are Boxing Day bargains as good as they seem?
We predict there probably will be some worthwhile deals this Boxing Day – last year we spotted cheap Nespresso machines, budget-friendly mattresses and even top-rated vacuums at less than half price.
However, some retailers do use sales events like this as an opportunity to clear out old stock, or even increase the prices of items beforehand to make the deals look better on the day. So make a list before the day itself and compare prices, to make sure you're actually getting a good deal.
When was Cyber Monday 2023?
Cyber Monday fell on the Monday directly after Black Friday, which this year was Monday 27th November. While the big day itself has now passed, there are still a few deals lingering into December.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a digital-only discount shopping event that always takes place on the Monday following Black Friday. It started out as a tech-dominated event, however, in recent years we've seen homeware brands continue their deals over to Cyber Monday deals, rebranding it as 'Cyber Monday.'
Cyber Monday, was introduced for the first time only in 2005 to encourage people to shop online. With Black Friday becoming more than just a one-day event (more like one-week, if not month), the lines between Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events have become somewhat blurred in recent years.
