High Street favourite and purveyor of beauty and wellness products, Boots, is a firm favourite when it comes to the annual Boxing Day sales.
Famous for their 3-for-2 Christmas gift offers, Boots offers a ton of gorgeous gift sets and items from big-name brands including Ted Baker, Baylis and Harding, Soap & Glory, FCUK, both online and in-store.
In previous years, the retailer has offered 50% off their entire range of Christmas stock, starting either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day online and Boxing Day in-store.

Last year, however, the sale launched early on December, 23 with most of the very best deals out of stock within 24 hours, and this year looks set to be the same.
A quick glance at the website shows that many of their most popular gift sets are already being sold with up to 50% off.
Savvy shoppers know that stocking up in the Boots sale is an excellent way to fill your cupboards with presents ahead of next Christmas or to save them for birthdays and gift-giving occasions throughout the year.
Lager gift sets, as well as beauty advent calendars, can also be separated to create individual gifts making them an excellent investment as cash-strapped Brits reign in their spending during the cost-of-living-crisis.
How to find the best bargains at Boots
To make sure you don’t miss out, get online now! With the sale starting early, many of the most affordable gift sets will sell out quickly.
Some larger ticket items like the Soap & Glory Star Gift Home Is Where The Spa Is 13 Piece Gift Set, for example, is already half price at just £34 and the Ted Baker 7-piece bath and body collection is also 50% off at £26.
Other great discounts we’ve seen so far include the Isle of Paradise Glow Brighter fake tan kit which at £25 is perfect for getting your glow on in time for New Year's Eve, and the No7 Ultimate Skincare Collection 10-piece gift set reduced to £42.50.
There are also some good deals to be found on premium skincare brands like the Ole Henriksen beauty sets on offer at half price from just £27 and a third or more off major player make-up brands including MAC, Benefit, Fenty and more.
If you can’t resist the lure of a Boxing Day stroll down your local High Street, most Boots stores will be open all day (check boots.com for local times and availability), and some bigger stores will expect to see a queue of bargain hunters waiting for the doors to open.
Will the sale prices go lower?
Most online sale items will be sold out way before the year is out, but some items may be left hanging around in stores.
As a prolific sale shopper, I was once told that Boots reduce any left-over stock to 70% off on or around the third Wednesday of January (Wednesday being their offer changeover day).
In recent years, however, many local stores seem to have cleared away or sold out of Christmas sale stock long before then.
