The Boots Boxing Day sale is your last chance to snap up a big discount in 2025. The retailer’s event is brimming with offers across covetable brands, including Dyson and Oura, as well as Prada and Maison Margiela.
Whether the straighteners that were on your Christmas wishlist failed to appear or you were secretly hoping for a skincare surprise from Santa, I’ve rounded up the best beauty writer-approved deals to shop from Boots.
Spanning both everyday essentials (think micellar water and cleansers), cult brands and luxury buys (see candles and wellness trackers), everything from Clarins’ and Benefit Christmas gift sets and Oral-B electric toothbrushes has been reduced.
Having covered the Boots sale year after year, one thing remains consistent: the strongest deals rarely hang around, so going in with a shortlist makes all the difference. Below, you’ll find my tried-and-tested tips as a beauty and shopping expert, along with the best offers to grab while they’re still available.
The best Boots Boxing Day deals
- Oral-B iO6 black electric toothbrush gift set: Was £300, now £120, Boots.com
- Oura Ring 4: Was £499, now £349, Boots.com
- Dyson airstrait straightener, amber silk/pink champagne: Was £449.99, now £299.99, Boots.com
- Prada luna rossa ocean eau de toilette set: Was £94, now £62, Boots.com
- Maison Margiela replica candle trio set: Was £80, now £40, Boots.com
Fitness and wellbeing editor Emilie Lavinia was impressed by the Oura Ring 4 in her review, noting that it’s the “best out there”. She added: “The price of the Oura ring may put some people off, but I’d argue that this is a more lifestyle-led tracker than most. It’s a more valuable investment for regular people who want to take charge of their health, work with the AI coach, and share reports with their doctor. It doesn’t seem as exclusive or athlete-focused as many other wearables.” Now that it has been reduced by £150, it’s the perfect time to invest in your health.
Milk Makeup pore eclipse mattifying primer: Was £35, now £28, Boots.com
This formula impressed beauty buff Louise Whitbread enough for her to give it the top spot in her review of the best primers. “It makes an instant and dramatic difference to visibly larger pores, creates a smooth canvas for foundation and concealer to be applied on top, and keeps my makeup in place for significantly longer than usual,” said Louise. She added that “the primer didn’t pill under my favourite liquid, cream, gel or powder products”. Now, you can save 20 per cent on the price of the primer, thanks to the Boots Boxing Day sale.
Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £52, now £44.20, Boots.com
Jam-packed with essential oils and scented with a heavenly chamomile aroma, using this buttery balm will feel akin to an evening spa session. When reviewer Ella Duggan put the formula to the test in her guide to the best cleansers, she concluded that her “skin felt smooth and was left with a velvety texture” after using the balm. It may be on the pricey side, but this 15 per cent reduction at Boots makes it a little more purse-friendly.
Oral-B iO6 black electric toothbrush gift set: Was £300, now £120, Boots.com
Upgrading your oral care is an excellent way to kick off the new year, and what better way to do so than with Oral-B’s high-spec iO6 model. Dubbed the best smart electric toothbrush in tech writer Steve Hogarty’s expert guide, the iO6 features a handy digital display and five cleaning modes which, according to Steve, “provide plenty of versatility for your particular oral care needs.” Now reduced by more than half, consider this your sign to give your smile a whiter and brighter clean.
Dyson airstrait straightener, onyx and gold: Was £449.99, now £299.99, Boots.com
If you’re someone who suffers frizz, kinks and damage, your hair couldn’t be better suited to the airstrait. Scrapping hot plates and using directional airflow to minimise breakage, the airstrait cleverly smooths stubborn hair for a shiny, stress-free styling session. When global IndyBest editor Eva Waite-Taylor tested the Dyson airstrait, she found that the results were “great” and compared the finish to one she’d experienced previously in a professional salon. Even better, the tool is now reduced by a whopping £150, so think fast if you’re hoping to secure one.
Prada luna rossa ocean eau de toilette set: Was £94, now £62, Boots.com
Prada is among the popular perfume houses for women, owing to its timeless scents and luxurious bottles. This gift set includes a 50ml Luna Rossa ocean eau de toilette – a fresh Italian bergamot and spicy pink pepper fragrance – and a travel-size version for olfactive versatility. Expect notes of fresh grapefruit and citrus, a woody base of vetiver and patchouli, and a sweet, creamy vanilla finish, plus a 33 per cent discount on this glam gift set today.
Dreamland intelliheat faux fur warming throw, Alaskan husky: Was £129.99, now £79.94, Boots.com
An electric blanket offers one of the best ways to stay cosy during winter. When homeware expert Caroline Preece put the best electric blankets through their paces, she dubbed Dreamland’s faux fur model “a proper cocooning comfort”. Thanks to this £50 discount, now is your chance to get seriously snuggled up for less, ahead of the January chills.
Maison Margiela replica candle trio set: Was £80, now £40, Boots.com
Now this is what I call a hidden deal. Boots hasn’t explicitly advertised this candle trio as 50 per cent off, rather listing it as ‘clearance’; however, a quick search of the web will show you that the set costs a whopping £80 at competitor retailers such as John Lewis. What’s more, the fashion house has an incredible collection of scents in its replica range, with this gift box including the best-selling fireplace, lazy Sunday morning and bubble bath candles. If you’ve not smelt any of the replica fragrances before, I described the afternoon delight perfume in my round-up of the best summer scents as “tempting, delicious and youthful.” Convinced yet?
Garmin forerunner 955, solar, black: Was £519.99, now £419.99, Boots.com
Everyone and their neighbour will be jumping aboard the fitness hype in the new year, and this £100 discount on one of Garmin’s smartwatch best-sellers is a perfect excuse to join them. While this model includes a handy solar charging feature – which extends the 955’s battery life by an extra 49 hours – fitness expert Harry Bullmore described the watch in its basic iteration as the best Garmin device for cycling. In his review of Garmin watches, he wrote of the 955: “Once I strapped it to my wrist and wore it for just 24 hours, I was granted access to a whole host of numbers about recovery, health, training readiness, optimal training zones, stress levels and more.”
Bobbi Brown deluxe size vitamin enriched face base, 100ml: Was £84, now £71.40, Boots.com
If you suffer with dehydrated skin and you’re fed up with foundation clinging to those pesky dry patches, it’s time to try Bobbi Brown’s vitamin enriched face base. With a blend of vitamins, moisture and skin-nourishing ingredients, this buttery primer props up all manner of make-up with ease. No patchiness, no sinking into fine lines. When Olivia Perl tested the bestselling formula in her review, she said: “It’s hydrating, the scent is delicious and it grips onto make-up better than lots of other primers.” And now you can spend less on this skin prep duo thanks to this 15 per cent reduction
Mac lustreglass sheer-shine lipstick: Was £25, now £21.25, Boots.com
December may be party season, but once January rolls around we tend to pare back our beauty looks in favour of timeless nude lips and everyday matte eyeshadows. Of course, there are some make-up staples that lend themselves to both seasons seamlessly, and Mac’s lustreglass lipstick is one such staple. Awarded the title of best nude in my lipstick guide, I recommended the formula to those prone to dryness, describing how they’d “enjoy having this formula on hand with its generous roster of hydration heroes, from hyaluronic acid and shea butter, to coconut oil and extra-virgin olive oil.” You can now save 20 per cent on the nourishing colour (in all its shades) today.
Estée Lauder advanced night repair serum: Was £89, now £75.65, Boots.com
Estée Lauder got ahead of the anti-ageing game with its advanced night repair serum, which launched in the early 80s – decades before the industry’s obsession with peptides and hyaluronic acid. The hard-working formula doesn’t come cheap, though, which is why this newly dropped discount is a welcome treat for anyone looking to save. When skincare expert Jane Druker tested the product in her guide to the best anti-ageing serums, she praised its performance, describing how it “helps to visibly soften, smooth and plump the skin”. Pick up this beauty icon with a saving of more than £10 today.
Benefit rollin with benetint gift set: Was £32,50, now £21.66, Boots.com
A lip stain is a girl’s best friend when it comes to long-wearing make-up. A decent one will see you through full meals, hot drinks and several hours – and Benefit’s benetint is certainly a top pick. In my guide to the best lip stains, I praised how the hero formula is surprisingly non-drying and withstood my breakfast and coffee without any noticeable fading. In this reduced gift set, you’ll receive both the benetint stain and limited-edition beneglaze lip oil, alongside a beauty bag in which to store all your favourite products.
Nars laguna bronzing powder: Was £40, now £34, Boots.com
My favourite bronzer is discounted at Boots, taking £6 off. In my review of the Nars laguna bronzing powder I loved the tanned look it gave me, and found it blends like a dream while being buildable. Its creamy texture offers a natural glow or you can layer it up for a bolder bronze. This versatile buy is well worth snapping up for less right now.
When will the Boots Boxing Day sale finish?
Though the name suggests it’s a one-day affair, the Boots Boxing Day sale usually combines with its January sale. In fact, it’s in this second half of the sales period that Boots has been known to offer up to 70 per cent off. That said, these later discounts are usually applied to stock left over from the Christmas rush and the first wave of Boxing Day reductions – think gift sets, star gifts and limited-edition December specials.
