Understanding Boxing Day
Boxing Day, celebrated on December 26, is traditionally a time for retailers to clear out old stock and offer significant bargains. Originating in the 1800s, the day was historically when the wealthy would give their servants a day off and present them with boxed gifts. Today, it stands as one of Australia’s biggest shopping events, rivaled only by Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
As the holiday season unfolds, these early sales provide a glimpse into the savings that await during the Boxing Day rush. Shoppers are encouraged to act quickly, as stock levels and prices are subject to change. Happy shopping!
