High Street & online sales

Limited stock

Boots boosted its post-Christmas clearance sale from up to 50% off to up to 70% off selected gifts in-store (find your nearest*) on Monday 2 February.

From what we've seen it's mostly leftover gift sets from the Christmas shopping period from the likes of No7, Soap & Glory, Nivea and more.

Of course, what's on offer will differ from store-to-store, so you might not find these at your local, but when we checked a Boots store, we found the following:

• Soap & Glory 'Fan-tastic Discoveries' three-piece set – was £10, now £3

• Iconic London 'The Perfect Pout' set – was £20, now £6

• Nivea 'Refining Moments of Joy' set – was £50, now £15

• Garnier 'Hydration Collection' eight-piece set – was £74, now £22.20

• Best of Bondi Sands eight-piece set – was £100, now £30

Boots also told us the below items are available in the sale, while stock lasts (we didn't see them at the store we checked):

• Soap & Glory 'The Glam-Packed Showstopper' eight-piece full-size set – was £62, now £18.60

• No7 'The Ultimate Skincare Collection' set – was £85, now £25.50

• Nivea 'Luminous Skincare' set – was £84, now £25.50

• PS Paul Smith Collection No.1 nine-room mist & fragrance – was £18, now £5.40

• Radley beauty bag – was £35, now £10.50

• FCUK Sport body duo body wash & spray – was £9, now £2.70

MSE Olivia says: "When I went into my local Boots store on Tuesday 3 February, I was pleasantly surprised by the range of sale items still on offer, especially after the boost to 70% off. Often only 'festive-themed' products remain, but there were loads of sets that could be gifted all year round. There were some brilliant brands too, such as Iconic London, Coco & Eve, Lazy Oaf, Arkive, and The Beauty Crop. If you're near a Boots, it's worth a look to see if you can pick up a clearance bargain."

Below are a couple of photos MSE Olivia took of the sale:

Website: New Look*
Sale strength: ‘Up to 70% off’
Likely to boost? The sale boosted from 'up to 50% off' to 'up to 70% off' on Monday 22 December. We don't normally see it boost any further, but as it strengthened the deal pre-Christmas instead of its normal post-Christmas boost, there's a chance it could deepen further in January

Here are some examples we spotted:

• Girls grey crew neck jumper* – £10 (was £18.99)

• Tan faux fur bomber jacket* – £35 (was £49.99)

• Mink collared long sleeve borg coat* – £30 (was £69.99)

• Tan faux fur midi coat* – £30 (was £69.99)

What does ‘up to 70% off’ mean?

• Max discount we spotted: 70%

• Min discount we spotted: 25%

• Typical discount based on 10 random items: 38%

Online, including footwear and clothing

You can find discounts of up to 50% at sportswear brand Puma* in its ongoing sale online. Delivery's £3.95. 

Items included in the sale are clearly marked and the discount will be automatically applied at the checkout, so there's no need for a code.
