If you’ve mustered up the energy to leave the dinner table to lounge on the couch in elasticated leggings and a stomach stuffed with turkey, cheese and pudding with a tingling of regret that you’ve over done it, then congratulations, it must be Christmas.
Amidst the seemingly never ending conveyer belt of eating and drinking, there’s serious sale shopping to do. And no, we don’t mean heading outside to join the Boxing Day crowds, shudder, I’m talking about the bargains you can scroll through while remaining sprawled on the sofa.
John Lewis’ sale is always one to watch and this year it kicks off online on 24 December at 5pm, meaning you can start shopping before you’ve even opened your presents.
The sale opens in Manchester’s Trafford Centre and St Pancras on Thursday 26 December. John Lewis Heathrow is open on 25 December but does not offer Clearance, and all other stores launch the sale on 27 December.
Stock up on a new cosy throw for cold winter nights, an essential new mattress or some kitchen tools to whip up new recipes in time for Veganuary.
Here are the best bargains to shop.
