If you didn’t get exactly what you wanted from Santa this year – or you pocketed some cash from a generous aunt – then it’s time for shopping. Plenty of the gear that didn’t end up under the Christmas tree is now on sale for rock-bottom prices. I’m The Sun’s resident tech expert, have been testing gadgets for years, and I’ve picked out some of the best deals worth casting an eye over.

You can get a seriously cut-price Samsung laptop over at EECredit: Samsung / EE There’s a mix of products here, from smartphones to headphones, laptops to games consoles, and a few clever accessories too.
And if you want to get fit in January, I’ve got you covered with a few health tech options.
EE EE has quite the bumper crop of gadget deals this Boxing Day.
Nintendo Switch 2 bundle
Perhaps the headline offer is a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World.
The Switch 2 is Nintendo’s latest console – only out this year – and Mario Kart World is unsurprisingly the machine’s top new game.
The bundle is down to £409, which is £20 off the usual price. Nintendo deals are hard to come by, so this is a decent pick.

Samsung laptop
If you want a cheap laptop for you or a family member, you could do worse than a Chromebook.
Chromebooks run on Google’s Chrome OS (as opposed to Microsoft Windows) and they’re a great budget pick.
EE is selling a Samsung-made Galaxy Chromebook Go with an 11-inch screen for just £129.
That’s £170 off the usual price, so a worthy buy.
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go, £129
Fitbit Versa 4
If you’re like me and ate enough Christmas dinner for a family of four, you might be thinking about fitness for the new year.

Sony ANC Headphones
Give yourself the gift of peace and quiet with Sony’s Active Noise Cancelling headphones.

They’ll dim the ambient din around you, and last for 30 hours per charge.

Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer AI glasses
Meta’s hi-tech Ray-Bans are smart in every sense of the wordCredit: Meta / EE My last pick from EE’s lot is the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer AI Glasses.
These smart glasses have a built-in camera so you can snap some first-person footage for your socials.
But they also have a built-in microphone and speaker system for calls or music.
What’s more, you can chat to the built-in Meta AI and even ask it questions about what you’re seeing with the camera. It’s basically a hi-tech upgrade for your face – now down £80 to £219.
Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer AI glasses, £219
Here’s something to think about if you’re shopping on Amazon…
You can plug in any Amazon link and it’ll show you the pricing history for that item.
And it’ll also show you the lowest price ever, as well as the average sales price.
That way, you can tell how good a deal really is – and if it’s actually a deal at all.
There’s no fee for using the website, so give it a go here.

VODAFONE If you’re in the market for a new mobile, there are a couple of great Vodafone Boxing Day offers.

CURRYS Currys has a nice selection of deals worth considering.

Dyson is really best known for its vacuum cleaners, but it has quickly become a major force in the haircare industry too.

It’s down from £449 to £299 – a respectable £150 saving.

Sony Bluetooth Speaker
It’s easy to think of a portable speaker as a summer gadget.
But you’re indoors all the time in these cold winter months, moving from room to room – so it’s still a great pick.
And this Sony Ult Field 3 (in frosty white, no less) is down from £99 to just £60.

DYSON Dyson’s own website has loads of deals – in fact, it was quite hard to pick.
But there were two that I thought were worth a go.
Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute
First is the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute, which is a solid vacuum cleaner.
It has a hair de-tangling feature, 60 minutes of runtime, and is now down to £279.99.

Dyson Supersonic Nural
The other standout deal is the Dyson Supersonic Nural, which is also £100 off.
That takes the price down to just £299.99.
Dyson hairdryers are very popular, and not by accident.

That way, it can constantly adjust the temperature to make sure that it’s not burning your noggin.
And Dyson says this means your scalp retains moisture. Lovely.
