While the presents under the Christmas tree have been unwrapped, there’s a lot more to the festive season than that. And for savvy shoppers, the post-Christmas discounts (aka the Boxing Day sales) are a big part of the excitement.
Boxing Day sales are famed for delivering jaw-dropping deals on everything from tech and appliances to fashion and homewares. And even before December 26, we were seeing some (and anticipating even more) record-breaking bargains this year.
That includes savings of up to $600 at Dyson, as well as big discounts from brands and stores including Samsung, Sephora, Adore Beauty and more. So, if there’s something you’ve been eyeing all year, there’s a good chance you’ll find it for less in the sales.

01
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe case
$348 (usually $399) at Amazon
Apple products rarely go on sale — especially the AirPods — so if you spot a discount, we think it’s worth snapping up ASAP. With immersive sound, advanced noise cancellation and adaptive audio that adjusts to your environment, these AirPods are designed to fit seamlessly into your day – whether you’re commuting, working out, or just tuning into your favourite playlist.
One reviewer described the AirPods as a “game-changer in the world of wireless earbuds,” praising the active noise cancellation for its ability to keep them fully immersed in music and calls.
“The sound quality is crystal clear,” they added. “With rich bass and balanced tones that enhance my listening experience. I love the customisable fit with the different ear tip sizes, ensuring they stay secure and comfortable during extended use.”
Colour: White
Key features:

- Active noise cancellation and transparency mode

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Complete vacuum
$1049 (usually $1649) at Dyson
The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Complete set is an impressive vacuum and mop combination that will leave your floors sparkling. The all-in-one machine is designed to remove dry, wet debris, fine dust, and stains, making it fast and easy to clean up just about any mess.
This exclusive gold HEPA model also includes an additional Fluffy Optic cleaner head, Floor Dok Multi and Built-in dusting and crevice tool – and is currently on sale for $600 less than the usual price.
“I bought this about 6 months ago and use it at least twice a day,” shared one Australian customer who left a five star review on the Dyson website, where it has an average rating of 4.3 stars from over 2200 reviews. “I have [two] dogs who seem to make it their daily mission to spread fur from one end of the house to the other as well as see how far a single mouthful of water will spread across the floor. [It’s] great for removing the dreaded trail of dog fur. And the submarine head is great for mopping the whole house, spot mopping and cleaning up the delightful trails of water that originate from the kitchen. Extremely pleased and well worth the money.”
Colour: Gold
Key features:
- Submarine wet roller head removes spills and stains from hard floors

When is Boxing Day in 2024?
Boxing Day in 2024 falls on Thursday, December 26. As always, it lands the day after Christmas, giving you the perfect excuse to keep the festive spirit going – whether you’re hitting the shops, hunting for online deals, or just enjoying a bit of post-Christmas pavlova.
Is Boxing Day bigger than Black Friday?
Boxing Day is one of the biggest post-Christmas sales events, with steep discounts across everything from fashion to tech. It’s known for marking the final opportunity to grab big bargains before the year wraps up.
While Black Friday may lead the charge in pre-Christmas savings, the Boxing Day sales take the cake for those who want to use their gift cards, start the year fresh – or pick up a bargain on items they missed out on buying in the earlier sales.
Retailers also tend to slash prices when clearing out end-of-year inventory, so Boxing Day is also a great chance to scoop up everything you didn’t get for Christmas or treat yourself to something special after a long year.
How long do Boxing Day sales last?
Boxing Day sales traditionally start on December 26 and can last anywhere from a few days to up to a week, depending on the retailer. Some stores start the sales early, and many continue through to the New Year. Some stores also extend their sales well into January.
If you’re hunting for the best deals, it’s worth keeping an eye on online shops, as some promotions may shift or be updated during the sale period.
How should you prepare for Boxing Day?
Getting ready for Boxing Day can mean the difference between scoring your dream item or missing out, so here are four steps to help you prepare for the biggest post-Christmas discounts.
Set your budget and stick to it
Boxing Day sales make it easy to overspend, especially with all the tempting deals. The key is to set a budget ahead of time. Decide how much you’re willing to spend in total and break it down by category or specific items. This way, you’ll be able to make savings without the regret later.
Make a shopping list
Don’t just wing it — get organised! Whether you’re buying gifts, treating yourself, or updating your home, making a list will keep you on track. Jot down what you’re looking for and whether it’s fashion, tech, or homeware. This will help you stick to your goals and avoid impulse buys.
Research big-ticket items
Planning to splurge on something like a new appliance or tech gadget? Now’s the time to do your homework. Look into different brands, compare prices and read reviews. Being well-informed will help you get the best value for your money when the sales begin.
Set up your online shopping strategy
If you’re shopping online, the early bird gets the worm. Familiarise yourself with your favourite retailers’ websites and consider creating accounts and saving your payment details for quicker checkout. Add items to your cart ahead of time so you’re ready to checkout as soon as the deals go live — stock tends to sell out fast!
