Even though Cyber Week and Black Friday sales are now finished and Boxing Day officially hasn’t come around yet, there are plenty of early Boxing Day deals and winter home sales that are live now – and I recommend taking advantage of them.
Because while certain sales have ended, others have begun – and in some cases, Cyber Week sales simply got extended and renamed. So I searched all the offers, old and new, to put together this list of the best current home deals around, utilising the help and expertise of Ideal Home editors who are experts in their fields.
Whether you’re looking to update your living room with a new best sofa, add the best air fryer to your kitchen or to get your hands on the best vacuum cleaner, now you can get what you’re looking for at a great price, too. As with any sale, I recommend going in with a wish list and plan so that you don’t get overwhelmed or influenced by a seemingly good price and end up getting something you either don’t need or pay more than you need to. And that’s what this guide to the best deals is here to help you with.

Sofa deals
Boxing Day and Winter sales are some of the best times to buy a sofa. Many brands, such as Next, don't participate in the Black Friday sale but do have post-Christmas deals. These are some of the best sofas and best sofa beds I've found on offer.
Vacuum cleaner deals
If you want to make your cleaning routine a smoother and more enjoyable experience, a well-performing vacuum cleaner is the way to go.
Bedding deals
If you're planning on making sleeping better your New Year's resolution, then now is a great time to hunt out some lovely new bedding at a bargain price.
Dehumidifier deals
Finding a dehumidifier deal at this time of year is a little like gold dust as many of the best models often have stock issues as winter drags on. They can be found but you need to do some hunting around, and we've found a couple for you to shop.
Air fryer deals
At this point, an air fryer is a kitchen must-have. If you still haven't got one or are looking to update yours for a better or bigger model, these are the best air fryer deals, all approved by our air fryer queen herself, Molly Cleary.
Cookware deals
Good cookware is an essential, and with Christmas and hosting season ahead of us, now's a great time ton invest in some pots and pans at great prices.
Laundry deals
With the temperatures dropping, the best heated clothes airers are on everybody's wish lists.
Need to do some research before you buy?
When do the Boxing Day and January sales end?
The January sales traditionally start on 1st January, but a lot of retailers now start their deals much earlier, kicking off with pre-Christmas discounts that last until just before Christmas, into Boxing Day deals. Often retailers extend their offerings further as part of 'winter discounts', such as Cox & Cox.
Traditionally, January sales last the whole month until 31st January, meaning you don’t have to rush to bag a bargain.
What can you buy in Boxing Day and January sales?
Perhaps the most obvious thing to shop for less in the Boxing Day sales is Christmas decor. Anything seasonal that a retailer has failed to sell by the end of the festive season is likely to be massively discounted. So, as long as you have storage space, the Boxing Day and January sales offer a great opportunity to save on next year's decor. Consider stocking up on half-price baubles, Christmas lights, or investing in one of the best artificial Christmas trees for less.
Christmas gifting will also often be on sale – we are talking about everything from bath and body gift sets to game consoles and toys.
