Boots Black Friday 2026: dates, best deals and Star Gifts

When does Boots Black Friday 2026 start?

Boots hasn't confirmed it. On 27 October its Black Friday page still showed last year's dates. Here's what it did before:

• 2025: early Black Friday deals started at the end of October, and the sale ended on Cyber Monday, 1 December.
• 2024: Boots ran offers through November, with its biggest weekend from 29 November to 2 December.
• 2021 and 2022: Black Friday ran for the whole of November.

So it's reasonable to expect the first 2026 deals in late October or early November, with the deepest cuts over Black Friday weekend. See our when is Black Friday 2026 guide for other retailers.

Boots Star Gifts 2026: how they work

Star Gifts are Boots's weekly Christmas gift offers, and they're often better than its Black Friday deals.

• They started on 12 August 2026, and new ones are added every week until Christmas.
• Each one is half price or better, and usually runs from Friday to the following Thursday.
• They're sold while stocks last, and the most popular ones sell out fast.
• Star Gifts are generally not included in 3 for 2.
• Online and in-store stock can differ, so check both.

Recent Star Gifts have included Oral-B electric toothbrushes, No7 mirrors and gift sets, and designer perfume. If you see one you want, buy it that week. It's unlikely to come back cheaper.

3 for 2 on Christmas gifts

Boots's Christmas 3 for 2 makes the cheapest item free. It covers gift sets from brands like Soap & Glory, No7, Yankee Candle, Baylis & Harding and Sanctuary. In 2024, Boots switched to 4 for 2 later in the season, so if you're buying lots of small gifts, it can pay to wait for that.

Advantage Card prices and points

You earn 3 points per £1 at Boots, and each point is worth 1p. On top of that, Price Advantage gives cardholders member-only prices on thousands of products. Some of Boots's best Black Friday prices are Advantage Card only, so sign up before the sale if you haven't already. It's free.

Boots beauty advent calendars 2026

Boots's 2026 calendars went on sale on 2 September. They launched at £65 for the No7 25 Days of Beauty, £70 for Boots 24 Days of Skin, £90 for the new Boots 12 Days of Scent, £150 for 24 Days of Luxe Beauty and £180 for the No7 Ultimate Beauty calendar. Popular calendars often sell out before Black Friday. Our beauty advent calendars guide compares them with rivals.

Buy now or wait?
