The Xbox Series X has been heavily reduced. “It’s a thunderously powerful next-generation console,” our writer said in their review. Praising the sleek look, they added: “Aesthetically, and acoustically, the Xbox Series X is a console that feels at home in a living room where grown-ups live. Compare that with the superb but ridiculous-looking PlayStation 5, which resembles an abstract sculpture of Harry Hill and requires removing an external wall to get into your house.”

Upgraded for 2023, this pocket-sized flip phone now comes with a pocket-friendly £200 discount, using code “SAMSUNG200” at checkout. When we reviewed the Flip 5, our tester said: “Samsung’s flip phone is better than ever. The enlarged outer display makes the Galaxy Z Flip 5 a whole lot more useful when closed, and the redesigned hinge gives the phone a neater, more finished appearance.”

Want to save money on waxing and shaving? The lumea 7000, which is currently reduced by £80, uses intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy to prevent facial and body hair regrowth. You can use the handheld device to apply gentle pulses of light to the hair root, putting the follicle into a resting phase. Consequently, the amount of hair your body grows should gradually decrease. Users have been said to experience up to 85 per cent hair reduction in as little as three treatments, and a similar lumea model even took the top spot in our round-up of the best IPL machines.

Snap this up while you can.

There are some great toy deals at Argos right now, including 20 per cent off some of the toys from the popular Cry Babies TV series on Netflix. The coney doll is designed to behave just like a real newborn, with 20+ sounds and snoring noises. She can even cry real tears when you remove her dummy. However, unlike a real newborn, it’s easier to calm her – simply pop the dummy back in or wear the interactive bracelet to let her know her carer is close.

When it comes to mattresses, Emma really is one of the best brands to know. The original mattress featured in our review of the best, with our tester noting that it’s “very comfortable” and provides “solid support beneath the memory foam layer”, which is “thanks to the heavy-duty foam at the bottom of the mattress”. The upper layer of foam also gently relieves “all pressure points in the body”, and it suits “both side and back sleepers”. Thanks to the Argos Boxing Day sale, it’s reduced in a full range of sizes, from single through to super king.

Argos has been offering half-price discounts on toys and games, as well as 25 per cent off festive homeware buys, and a third off Christmas decorations for quite some time. But the Argos Boxing Day sale is officially underway, having started on 26 December.

The Argos Boxing Day sales tend to run through to the end of January, so you can wade through the bargains at a leisurely pace.

The Argos Boxing Day sale becomes the Argos January sale, so there isn’t a lot of difference between the two (other than its name changing at the start of the new year). You may be feeling flusher with post-Christmas cash for shopping in the Boxing Day sales, but the good news is some deals will hang around if you want to grab a tempting discount at a later date.
