SIM-only Boxing Day deals

SMARTY has made the bold claim that its prices are so good it “doesn’t need a sale” and generally, the SIM-only deal below does look fantastic value. We also like this plan because it works on a one-month rolling basis, so you can cancel at any time and keep your flexibility.

Throughout this year, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for the very best TV deals going. Now, there are some great options in the Boxing Day sales.

There are loads of fantastic gaming deals available right now on games, gaming platforms and gaming peripherals. Take a look at the selection below for some great savings.

Fanatical is offering some huge discounts on PC games. We particularly liked the savings on Kingdom Come Deliverance — an epic medieval RPG that takes the player on a huge historical adventure — and classic adventure title, Rise of the Tomb Raider.

The Boxing Day sales can be a fantastic time to pick up a new laptop. Need enough power to get your 2022 projects? Or maybe just a simple new laptop for heading back into work, or university? Either way we’ve got you covered with some great offers.

Fitbit is well known for its fitness trackers, but it also offers full-blown smartwatches, with the Fitbit Versa 3 now just £149 at Amazon. Typically priced at £199, the latest Versa model features an AMOLED screen, the smartwatch has a six-day battery life, GPS, heart monitoring and sleep tracking. It also has 20+ exercise modes, including walking, running, weights, cycling and swimming.

Here’s a selection of the best Boxing Day tablet deals available right now, with offers on the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet and more. Amazon has been keenly discounting its own tablet range and there are some very affordable options right now, if you’re looking to pick up a budget, or mid-range tablet.

If you’re looking for some new earbuds, a new soundbar, or some other great audio tech, look no further than the offers below. These are some of the highlights of the Boxing Day sales including £12 off the brand-new Apple AirPods.

While the ‘Boxing Day sales’ traditionally just last for the day, one or two deals are likely to stretch further.

However, unlike Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, retailers don’t tend to roll most deals on from Boxing Day once the sales event has finished. So, it’s worth snapping up bargains you want, as long as they’re in your price range.

Last year we saw the Sonos One smart speaker discounted by £30, down to £169, on several retailers’ sites, including both Amazon and Sonos. There was also £20 off the Sonos Beam (Gen 1) on Sonos’ site.

These may not seem like major reductions but it’s rare to see any Sonos products discounted so any deals should be snatched up quickly.

Amazon also discounted the Fitbit Versa 3. It was available for £159 but this saving has already been bettered this year, with discounts across the Fitbit range.
