If you’re yet to invest in an air fryer or simply want an upgrade – perhaps your current model wasn’t quite up to feeding the masses this Christmas – the Boxing Day sales are dishing up air fryer deals galore.
Ninja foodi dual zone 7.6l air fryer, AF300UK: Was £219.99, now £149, Amazon.co.uk
When putting the larger 9.5l version of this air fryer to the test, IndyBest reviewer Lauren said: “It has six settings, so it can roast, air fry, bake, crisp, reheat and dehydrate all in one device, and you can set each drawer to do a different thing – very handy when cooking a whole meal.” The same functions feature on this smaller model, which is now just shy of £150 at Amazon. Although the appliance tends to retail for about £199, meaning Amazon’s discount isn’t quite as generous at it seems at first, this is still a deal worth snapping up.

Nectar’s hybrid mattress was chosen as the best option for medium firmness in assistant eCommerce editor Sarah’s best mattress guide - and right now there’s a whopping saving to be snapped up.
Nectar premier hybrid mattress, double: Was £1,213, now £711.55, Nectarsleep.co.uk
It’s made up of eight layers of foam, micro-springs, memory foam and a supportive base, which I found made my pressure points feel supported and spine-aligned. I also awarded it extra points for its ability to reduce motion transfer – something anyone with a wriggly sleeping partner will appreciate. Plus, if you use code “BOXING5“ at checkout, you’ll be able to grab an extra 5 per cent discount, making this double mattress just £711.55.

As The Independent’s fitness editor, Emilie’s tried pretty much every wearable out there, from the Whoop to the Apple Watch. They range in price and what they offer in terms of features and of course, some are more impressive than others. However, there’s one device she’s personally been wearing solidly for years – the Oura ring.
Oura ring 3: Was £299, now £199, Amazon.co.uk
“If you’re shopping for a tracker that simply measures fitness levels, there are plenty to choose from, but what makes the Oura ring special is that it offers much more. Not only is it small, lightweight and easy to wear, it offers a range of insights that other trackers don’t.
My favourite features are the daily tags you can add to your activity log and the cycle calendar – which helps track your mood, sleep and energy levels and predict the coming phases of your cycle.” Now, you can get it at its lowest ever price for Boxing Day.

It would be totally understandable if you believed that Boxing Day is named after the sport – we all heard the tales in our youth. But, Boxing Day’s origins couldn’t be more different to a match in the ring. Most historians today agree that Boxing Day stems back to Queen Victoria’s reign when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor.
Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.
The Boxing Day sales emerged as a UK tradition when the goverment relaxed the trading laws in the Nineties, allowing shops to open on bank holidays.

Receiving a glowing five-star review, she praised the “small but mighty” machine that will slot seamlessly into most people’s kitchen countertops. “Weighing in at just 3.5kg, if you have a large cupboard and won’t be using the machine every day, it’s also incredibly easy to store away until you need it,” she added. I love the colours available, too, with the blue and yellow brightening up your kitchen surfaces.

The Dyson airwrap can set you back nearly £500, so the cult hair tool doesn’t come cheap, and deals on the airwrap are almost as coveted as the tool itself – that is until the end of year sales period.
For those who failed to find an airwrap-shaped gift under the tree, there’s no better time to buy the multi-styler than during the Boxing Day sales.
Dyson airwrap multi-styler and dryer, strawberry bronze and blush pink: Was £479.99, now £399.99, Boots.com
“Despite looking complex, using it was super simple and straightforward,” Lucy said in her review. “It dried and smoothed hair quickly and easily, with minimal effort needed. And the round brush was also a welcome addition here too, as our tester loved using it to dry her hair for a blowdry-esque finish – this is something that she would usually have to use a hairdryer and straighteners to achieve,” she added. Now, you can save a rare £80 thanks to Boots.
