Boxing Day Sales 2026 Guide: What to Buy in Australia

Boxing Day falls on Saturday 26 December 2026, the day after Christmas Day. In Australia it is the big sale day after Christmas for stores and online retailers alike, and this independent NestPath guide covers the online side: summer gear, fans, kitchen appliances, bedding, clothing, tech, toys and tools.

This guide works differently from a sale list. Every pick comes from one of our own buying guides, and the table above shows today's price and any real saving on each one, sorted by the biggest real saving. Below, the picks are grouped by section, each with the listing facts and one honest catch. Shopping the November sales first? Our Amazon Black Friday guide and Cyber Monday guide work the same way. There is no TV on this page: our TV guide compares budget smart TVs.

Summer and outdoor

INTEX Snorkel Fun Swim Centre Pool

INTEX Snorkel Fun Swim Centre Pool, because it is an inflatable pool sized for backyard play at ages 3 and up.

The listing gives a size of 2.62 by 1.6 by 0.46 m, soft walls with two air chambers, a drain plug and a repair patch, and says no filter is required. It holds 4.4 stars from 4,443 ratings. It suits families with young children. The honest catch: the listing says it takes up to about 30 cm of water, so it is a paddling pool, not a swimming one. See our inflatable pool guide.

Aqua Original Monterey Hammock Pool Float

Aqua Original Monterey Hammock Pool Float, because the seat rests in the water, so getting on and off needs no jumping or ladders.

The listing describes a four in one hammock float of half soft vinyl and half soft mesh, for lakes, oceans and pools. It inflates to about 112 by 66 cm and holds up to about 113 kg. It has 4.5 stars from 12,214 ratings. It suits adults lounging on calm water. The honest catch: the listing gives a height range of about 1.2 to 1.8 m, so taller riders should look elsewhere, and the linked option is the Golden Sunshine colour. Our pool float guide compares more.

Dock & Bay Quick Dry Beach Towel

Dock & Bay Quick Dry Beach Towel, because the listing says it sheds sand with a shake and dries faster than standard cotton towels.

The extra large size is 200 by 90 cm, made from recycled materials: a mix of polyester and polyamide. A bag is included. It holds 4.5 stars from 8,558 ratings. It suits beach days where you pack light. The honest catch: it is a synthetic towel, so it feels different from a plush cotton one, and the linked option is the Whitsunday Blue cabana stripe, so pick the colour on the listing. See our beach towel guide.

Coleman 50 Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler

Coleman 50 Quart Xtreme Wheeled Cooler, because the listing says it keeps ice for up to five days and holds up to 84 cans.

The listing gives 50 quarts, about 47 litres, plus heavy duty wheels, a telescoping handle, cup holders in the lid and a lid that supports up to about 113 kg. It has 4.5 stars from 13,991 ratings. It suits camping and long beach days. The honest catch: it is a large hard cooler, so it needs real room in the car. Our esky guide compares others.

Coleman Oversized Quad Chair with Cooler

Coleman Oversized Quad Chair with Cooler, because the arm rest cooler holds four cans and a mesh cup holder fits a fifth drink.

The listing describes a fully cushioned seat and back, adjustable arm rest heights, a storage pocket, a carry bag and a heavy duty steel frame supporting up to about 136 kg. It has 4.7 stars from 58,877 ratings. It suits the cricket, the beach and campsites. The honest catch: a cushioned steel frame chair takes more space than a basic stool. See our camping chair guide.

OneTigris Jovian 4 Person Camping Tent

OneTigris Jovian 4 Person Camping Tent, because the listing describes a three season dome tent that sets up in minutes.

The listing gives a floor of about 2.1 by 2.4 m and a height of about 1.5 m, sleeping up to four or fitting two camp cots. The kit includes an inner tent, outer tent, footprint, frame, stakes and guy lines, and it weighs about 5.6 kg. It has 4.8 stars from 207 ratings. It suits family campers. The honest catch: 207 ratings is a modest count, and four people will find it snug with gear. Our camping tent guide has more.

INTEX Twin Ultra Plush Airbed with Internal Pump

INTEX Twin Ultra Plush Airbed, because the listing describes a built in electric pump with an inflation time of about 4.75 minutes.

The listing gives a size of 99 cm by 1.91 m by 46 cm, a 220 to 240V internal pump, a dual layer air pocket design and a carry bag. It holds 4.3 stars from 3,822 ratings. It suits guests and holiday stays. The honest catch: it is a twin size for one person, and the listing says the material stretches at first inflation, so expect to top it up. See our air mattress guide.

Fans and cooling

Philips 5000 Series Tower Fan

Philips 5000 Series Tower Fan, because it is a slim 105 cm tower with a remote and three speeds plus three modes.

It has an integrated tank, runs corded or cordless, and the listing quotes up to 12 hours on speed level 1 and a range of up to 20 metres. It holds 4.4 stars from 566 ratings.

The listing describes five one touch programs, a re spin function, and three 470 mL tubs with storage lids, plus a paddle and a recipe guide. It holds 4.5 stars from 502 ratings.

The listing is brief: a chrome finish, a package weight of 6.0 kg and the speed and heat claims. It has 4.4 stars from 298 ratings. It suits anyone who wants a fast juicer.

It has horizontal steam, a compact foldable design and a removable 100 mL water tank. It holds 4.3 stars from 1,287 ratings. It suits freshening clothes before a party or a trip.

It measures about 51 by 137 cm with a polyester cover that the listing says avoids piling. It has 4.4 stars from 9,566 ratings. It suits side sleepers who want one long pillow.

How to tell a real Boxing Day deal

Trust a saving only when the listing shows an earlier price

A real saving means the same product listing shows a higher earlier price that matches. The table on this page shows a saving only in that case. If a pick shows no saving, that is the honest answer for today, and the price is still shown.

Check the rating count, not just the stars

A 4.8 from 207 ratings, like the OneTigris tent, tells you less than a 4.7 from 31,203, like the INIU power bank. Look at both numbers. A small count is not a bad sign, but it means less evidence.

The price when you pay is the one that counts

Prices on any sale day can move. Check the price at checkout, not the one you saw earlier in the week, and check that the size, colour and model match what you meant to buy.

Buy what you need, not what is marked down

A saving only helps if you were going to buy the product anyway. Make a short list first, for example a mattress, a fan or a tool bag, and use the table to see which of those carry a real saving.

Frequently asked questions

When are the Boxing Day sales in Australia in 2026?

Boxing Day is Saturday 26 December 2026, the day after Christmas Day. Retailers set their own start times, and some sales begin earlier online. This page lists 38 picks, such as the Philips 5000 Series tower fan and the INIU power bank, with a live table of today's prices.

How long is a Boxing Day sale?

It depends on the retailer: some run for the one day, others for days or weeks. Amazon has not published its own sale window for 2026 yet. When it does, the event box on this page adds it, and the table keeps showing today's price on picks like the Ninja CREAMi.

When does Amazon's Boxing Day sale start?

Amazon has not published its Boxing Day sale dates yet. We do not guess them. Once Amazon announces its own window, the event box at the top of this page adds it, and the table above tracks live prices on picks such as the Shark steam mop and the Bose headphones.

Are there sales on Boxing Day in Melbourne, Perth and online?

Yes. Boxing Day sales run across Australia, and online sales do not depend on your city, so this guide covers the online side for Melbourne, Perth and everywhere else. Pick from 38 products across eight sections, from the Coleman cooler to the Samsonite suitcase, and the table shows which carry a real saving today.

Are there Boxing Day TV deals in this guide?

Not TVs themselves: every pick here comes from our own buying guides, and no TV is listed here. Our TV guide compares budget smart TVs, and the tech section covers the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, the INIU power bank, the DJI Osmo Action 4 and the Tapo C200 camera, each with its live price in the table.

How do I tell a real Boxing Day deal?

Look for a higher earlier price on the same listing, check the rating count as well as the stars, and judge the price you pay at checkout. Our table only shows a saving when the listing backs it up. A pick like the Bonds trunks three pack shows its saving only if one exists.

What is worth buying in the Boxing Day sales?

Buy what you already planned to buy. Summer picks suit the season: the Dock & Bay beach towel, the Coleman camp chair and the INTEX pool. For the house, look at the Vesgantti mattress or the Breville juicer. Tech buyers can check the DJI Osmo Action 4 and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra.

Is this page run by Amazon?

No. This is an independent NestPath guide, not an Amazon page. We choose picks from our own buying guides, such as our power bank and mattress guides, and we earn a commission if you buy through our links. That does not change which products we list or how the table sorts them.

What is the next big sale date after Black Friday?

Cyber Monday, the Monday after Black Friday, and Boxing Day on Saturday 26 December 2026. Amazon publishes its own dates for each closer to the day. If a pick like the Philips handheld steamer or the Skechers sneaker is on your list, watch the table on each of those days, because it shows real savings only and sorts itself again.
