Things to Look for in the Boxing Day Sales

Now that Christmas is almost upon us (how did it creep up so quickly?!) I am starting to look forward to boxing day and the sales that will no doubt ensue.  I’ve put together my list of things to look for in the boxing day sales if you don’t already have them and a few items that will be good to get regardless! 

Get in my Belly – Appliances

My current most favorite thing is the new George foreman press which comes in red and has an easy clean function where the plates are removable from the press so you can clean the plates just like normal dishes. Best.Invention.Ever! Keep an eye out for these in the stores as they are new! 

I use my George foreman mix and go pretty much every day for my morning smoothie and love it to bits! Can you tell we are a fan of George Foreman products in our house? Seriously it is super easy to use, throw all the ingredients into the mix and go, turn it on and within a minute you’ll have a yummy healthy smoothie! 

I’ve just been introduced to the Yonana’s Machine, you simply pop frozen banana’s and other fruit into it and out comes ‘ice cream’. It’s just fruit so it’s healthier than normal ice cream and it does have a yummy ice cream texture as well! 

Summer Loving – Beach Babe

It’s always good to keep an eye out for a cheap bikini (or other swimwear) sometimes I like to mix it up a little and wear something new and different, if you find a bargain on boxing day why not snap it up?! 

Don’t forget to make sure you have stocked up on your sunscreen, our o-zone layer is pretty crap here in NZ (if you didn’t already know!). I like the Skinnies Sungel which contains no nasties and you only need a tiny bit, a little goes a long way! I’m also a fan of the Nivea spray on sunscreen as I find spray on is super convenient. 

Keep an eye out for some kind of beach sunshade, be it a little mini tent style shade or just an umbrella. It’s great to have a nice hot summers day and chill around on the beach but smart beach babes will make sure there is somewhere to run for cover when the rays get a bit too hot! 

A long hot summers day wouldn’t be complete without a bunch of books to keep you going. If you’re not into books then grab a few magazines for your reading pleasure. Whether you like hard copy books or are more of a techno-geek and have a kindle, make sure you are set for summer with a few books! 

Random Bargains

One thing I always look for in the boxing day sales are pretty and cheap gift sets to gift during the year. Gift sets make a super easy present for someone who you forgot was their birthday, someone who is hard to buy for or just someone who genuinely loves giftsets. I often find there are some bargains going out the door on boxing day so its a great time to stock up. 

This summer I will be keeping an eye out for EOS Lipbalms as I have heard great things about them, the flavours sound amazing and I am about due for a new lip balms as well! 

I have banged on about great running socks enough in my Christmas Gift Guides but as I love a bargain and have a Triathlon coming up all too soon I will be keeping an eye out for a bargain (I’m counting on you Rebel Sport to have a 30% off the retail price of everything sales ;))

Last but definitely not least we will be keeping an eye out for any good deals on any weights or other gym equipment as we are slowly getting together a collection of gym tidbits that we can use when we have our own home gym. Items that don’t take up much space are the most ideal for us at the moment. 

There we have it – my list of things to look out for in the boxing day sales! – What will you been keeping an eye out for?
