It’s perfect if you want to stock up on new gadgets like headphones, home appliances for your kitchen or even a new phone after you cracked the screen of your current one at the Christmas party.

DYSON V7 Motorhead Plus Cordless Vacuum Cleaner - Blue, was £274, now £199
This deal definitely doesn’t suck (sorry). It’s wireless, which means no getting tangled up as you clean your home. Battery life runs for up to 30 mins, which is good to know but maybe a little excessive – is anyone actually hoovering for that long?
Google Pixel 3a - 64 GB, was £399, now £349
Looking to upgrade your phone? Then you’ve come to the right place. This phone is a no brainer, with a HD screen (with portrait mode for selfies), fast-charging battery, and unlimited storage thanks to Google Photos.

If you got a pet for Christmas, you’ll quickly realise the need for a vacuum cleaner that’s powerful enough to de-fluff your carpets. You can thank us later. Reviews have said its pretty weight though, so make sure you have enough room to store it or ask for help carrying it up stairs.

Point and shoot with this cute Instax that’s compact enough to slip into your handbag for days out. It comes with a glitter case to keep it scratch-free, and has 10 shots of film and sticker frames so you can stick your photos to the fridge. There’s even a selfie feature too.
Google Pixel 4 128GB, was £769, now £669
The Google Pixel 4 is a major upgrade on its predecessors. It’s got a superb camera and clever software features, such as one which allows you to operate the phone using gestures. The only downside, according to reviewers, is battery life – but if you don’t mind carrying a charger around it’s no big deal.
BEKO WTB820E1W 8 kg 1200 Spin Washing Machine, was £199, now £179
Boring but essential, now’s the best time to take advantage of the bargains to be had on washing machines. Fitting a hefty 8kg of clothes, it’s quick too, taking just 28 minutes on the fast cycle setting. Although reviewers have said the wash temperatures can’t be changed, so be careful when washing delicates.
SONY KD55AG8BU 55″ Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED TV with Google Assistant, was £1,499, now £1,299
Not only is this screen OLED, which offers superb colour and clarity, but it uses Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio, meaning the sound comes out from where it’s happening on screen. Talk about immersive! There’s also built-in Google Assistant, which means you can turn the volume down or switch the channel without lifting a finger.
Wireless headphones are the future. In years to come, we’ll wonder what we were all doing with wires hanging awkwardly around our necks and getting caught in our coats. The ear-hooks on these Beats make them perfect for sport, while the microphone, remote and volume control mean you can be hands free at all times while enjoying your favourite tunes. They’re also sweat and water resistant too. Reviews are positive too, with many praising the battery life.

There’s four shelves, three door compartments and two vegetable crispers so you can keep everything neat and organised in the fridge, while the freezer comes with four shelves, two drawers and two door compartments too. There’s even a swish water and ice dispenser and a self-sufficient plumbing system. Reviews sing its praises too for its easy access to items, along with straightforward temperature control and an ice maker that works well.
Samsung S10E – 128 GB, was £669.99, now £449
This is a big discount on what is already a good value phone. Think of the Galaxy S10E as Samsung’s version of the iPhone XR – it has a combination of features from the S10 and S10 plus, but for a cheaper price tag. It’s got a decent camera, with an ultra-wide angle lens, and can charge wirelessly, which is handy.
