Britons can snap up much-loved skin care, makeup, wellness and fragrance staples ahead of the big day

Health and beauty retailer Boots is a go-to destination for last-minute Christmas shoppers, and according to new research by the company, more than half of us leave present buying until the eleventh hour.

Thankfully, the retailer has procrastinators covered in the lead-up to the big day, promising "standout savings across some of the season's most wanted brands".


"There are plenty of reasons to feel smug," the health giant added.

The high-street favourite is offering serious discounts alongside flexible delivery options designed to rescue even the most disorganised shoppers this December.

But to guarantee the swift delivery of your skin care, makeup, wellness and fragrance essentials, there are a few key dates to remember.

If you're planning an online shop, standard delivery orders must be placed on boots.com by 10pm on Sunday, December 21.

For those cutting it even finer, next-day delivery is available on orders made by 1pm on Tuesday, December 23.

Shop premium presents from Boots in time for Christmas

Shopping from Boots this Christmas? From premium beauty and fragrance to health essentials and thoughtful stocking fillers, there are several options available. The cutoff order time for standard delivery is 10pm on December 21, 2025. For in-store pickup, you have until 5pm on December 22, 2025 to place your order.

And the very last possible time you can order for on-time delivery is 1pm on December 23, 2025, which will deliver your items the very next day.

Love Click & Collect? You've got until 5pm on Monday, December 22, to place your order for next-day store pickup.

For those who've truly left it to the eleventh hour, Boots has partnered with Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat to offer on-demand delivery from more than 500 stores across the country.

A relief for those cutting it extremely fine, orders can arrive at your door in as little as 30 minutes.

New this year, select locations will keep on-demand delivery running right up until midnight on Christmas Eve – perfect for anyone who's forgotten something crucial.

Now you know when and where to snap up Boots' best Christmas gifts, only one question remains: what are you going to buy?

Boots is offering up to 60 per cent off on Star Gifts with sets, such as the Soap & Glory Glam-Packed Showstopper reduced from £62 to just £26.96 – think "premium presents for less".

If you're after premium beauty or fragrances, the code SAVE25 gets you up to 25 per cent off – but it ends today, so you'll need to be quick. That includes treats like YSL Libre Intense, reduced to £121.50 from £162.

For those seeing loved ones in the new year (or who fancy buying themselves a post-Christmas pick-me-up), the retailer is extending the offers into 2026.

Dyson fans can save up to £150 on selected products until January 6, with the Airwrap origin multi-styler now £299.99, down from £399.99. The Dyson Airstrait straightener Onyx Gold has also been reduced from £449.99 to £299.99.
