“The Fitbit sense is the smartwatch for the not-as-yet-roaring Twenties, a valuable partner on your wrist that will help navigate the stresses of our current lives and help you stick to your fitness goals,” praised our reviewer in our review of the sense.
From an ECG sensor and sophisticated heart monitoring, to Spotify access and contactless payments, the watch is packed with smart features. Anyone looking for a more health-focussed wearable would be wise to think seriously about investing in the sense, especially at its current price

Everything we’re shopping in Zara’s Boxing Day sale
Zara is a favourite for good reason. The high street brand has earned itself a loyal following, thanks to its fashion-forward pieces and affordable prices.
It’s one of the most eagerly anticipated sales when it comes to Boxing Day – and this year it hasn’t let us down with offers on New Year’s Eve dresses and dupes of Carrie Bradshaws fave heels.
Draped dress with shoulder pads: Was £49.99, now £29.99, Zara.com
If you’re still on the hunt for an outfit to ring in the new year, this could be it. The mini dress comes covered in party-ready sequins and features a high neck with long sleeves, 1980s-inspired shoulder pads and draped fabric detailing. A similar style from the retailer (was £59.99, now £39.99, Zara.com), which is unfortunately now out of stock, was chosen as the best buy in our round-up of the best outfits for NYE.
Shimmery mid-heel slingback shoes: Was £59.99, now £39.99, Zara.com
If you struggle to get Carrie Bradshaw’s blue crystal-embellished Manolo Blahnik’s off your mind, but don’t have a casual £800 to blow on a pair of heels, consider these dupes. Strikingly similar to the designer pair, these heels come in both cobalt blue and magenta pink, and feature a crystal buckle, with a pointed tip, square sole and slingback.

Missed out on an M&S snow globe gin? Get one on offer right now
A smash hit year-on-year, M&S’s snow globe gins flew off the shelves over Christmas. If you missed out on the sparkly tipple, you can now get not one, but two bottles in a mixed case that also includes four bottles of prosecco. The best news? It’s on sale right now.
M&S light up snow globe gin & conte priuli prosecco, case of 6: Was £80, now £60, Marksandspencer.com
Containing the clementine gin and sugar plum liqueur, light up your winter evenings with the orange and blue glows. While the clementine tipple lends itself to buck fizz and prosecco, the sugar plum liqueur works best topped up with prosecco and garnished with raspberries, pomegranate seeds and fresh thyme. The snow globe gins usually retail at £20 so they’re half price in the case and you’ll also get four bottles of prosecco – we’ll toast to that!

Hoover up this Shark vacuum Boxing Day deal
Shark lift-away upright vacuum cleaner with TruePet NV602UKT: Was £269.99, now £149.99, Sharkclean.co.uk
If you’ve got a (very) furry friend at home, this upright model from Shark could be just the thing. Said to suck up pet hairs from stairs to sofas and curtains, it can also be transformed into a portable vacuum, thanks to its Lift-Away Technology.
This means you’ll no longer be lumbered with the whole machine, say, if you needed to clean the stairs or under low-lying furniture. Though we haven’t tested this exact model, two of the brand’s vacuums earned a spot in our best pet vacuum cleaners review, so we’d say you’re in good hands.

Our favourite alternative to Dyson’s airwrap is on sale right now
If you’re struggling to get Dyson’s coveted airwrap in the Boxing Day sales, why not pick up ghd’s alternative instead?
A fan favourite and IndyBest-approved brand, ghd has become synonymous with good hair days since its launch in 2001 but it has faced some stiff competition from Dyson in recent years.
In our head-to-head review of the two devices, our reviewer said the ghd rise helped their hair stay “wavy and bouncy late into the evening – something we thought only existed in our wildest beauty dreams.” When it came to comparing the two devices, our writer said that “if all you’re looking for is reliable volume and glamorous waves, the ghd rise is just as worthy an investment.”
