What is Boxing Day?

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas (December 26), and is a public holiday in Australia. Boxing Day Sales have been a thing in Australia since the 1980s. It was a chance for retailers to quickly sell off their excess inventory from the Christmas season, and traditionally involved a trip into the city, hours of queuing and navigating big crowds. Thankfully, these days you can save yourself a trip and snag a great Boxing Day deal online. 

When is Boxing Day in 2022?

Boxing Day falls on Monday, December 26, the day after Christmas (December 25). However, early deals begin to pop up throughout this week leading up to Christmas, and stay online the week following. For example, Amazon Australia’s early Boxing Day deals have already kicked off.

What are the best items to buy on Boxing Day?

The Boxing Day Sales are a great time to score sizable discounts on big-ticket items like laptops, Hi-Fi, consoles and TVs. Online tech retailers will getting rid of stock to make space for the 2023 season, so keep an eye on stores like Amazon, The Good Guys, Bing Lee and Ebay. It’s also worth keeping an eye out specifically for the following products: 

  • Robot vacuums: If you’re here, now, then you’re clearly on the hunt for a good robot vac. The eyewatering deals above are some of the best we’ve seen on robot vacuums all year – especially on two top brands: Ecovacs and iRobot. You won’t find lower prices on these top devices until at least next Black Friday, so if you want robotically cleaned floors this year, it’s worth picking one up now!

But Boxing Day is also a great time to pick up a range of tech and general consumer goods for cheap. We’ve outlined some of the top items to buy below, but also be sure to check out our guide to the best Boxing Day deals we’ve spotted so far.

  • Appliances: Expect tech and white good retailers like The Good Guys and Bing Lee to go big this Boxing Day, dropping prices on pretty much all stock. This means it’s a great time to find good deals on big items like fridges, freezers, washing machines, as well as the small ones like kettles, toasters and more. 

  • Games consoles: Console availability in Australia has been a challenge over the past few years, but things have definitely improved the last few months with PS5s and Xbox Series Xs readily available on Amazon and in gaming retailers. Boxing Day will no doubt bring some great prices on console accessories and games, and even on consoles if we’re lucky! 

  • Smartphones: Amazon offers some pretty impressive deals on smartphones the whole year around, and some of these prices should be even lower for Boxing Day.

  • Toys: While many of the in-demand toys will be sold out from Christmas, any left over will be up for grabs! We recommend checking out Amazon for the best deals on Lego, especially for the massively popular Star Wars and Harry Potter sets.

  • TVs: We expect all of the leading retailers to offer some hefty deals on remaining TV stock from top brands like Samsung, Hisense, Sony, LG and Panasonic. It’s worth shopping around for the best TV deals, but you’ll likely have the best chances on The Good Guys, Bing Lee or Kogan.

  • Security and VPNs: Off the back of the recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, security companies will again be dropping their prices for Boxing Day – especially to Australians. If you need to renew your cybersecurity or VPN for the upcoming year, now is a great time.
