Boxing day deals from Amazon UK


Boxing day deals starts on Dec 25 till January 1, 2013. See it in Amazon UK's Today's Deals Page and see the low prices from everyday essentials to big ticket items. Like eBooks, MP3 downloads, LOVEFiLM, Audible, Amazon Appstore and Kindle accessories. Check out the Lightning Deals and Editors picks and other offers including the end of year stock clearance. On Monday Dec 31 and Jan 1, it will repeat some of the Lightning deals you might have missed during the week. 


What is Boxing Day anyway?
In the UK and Ireland Boxing Day is a bank holiday, following Christmas Day, on December 26. It is characterised by shopping fever and great bargains. Amazon.co.uk brought Boxing Day Deals Week to its customers for the first time in 2011, with a week of great offers on products including Digital SLR cameras, TVs, cookware, DVDs and more.

There are a number of theories about where the name "Boxing Day" came from. The most common explanation is quite simply that a 'Christmas Box' in the UK refers to a Christmas present. Tradesmen traditionally collected Christmas boxes on December 26 in return for their service throughout the year.
