Brands including Very, John Lewis & Partners, Currys and Boots have all joined in on the bargain bonanza, while other retailers, including Amazon, started its sales earlier than ever before, with some deals being unveiled before Christmas Day.
The online giant is no stranger to a sale, having already treated customers to impressive savings during its month-long Black Friday shopping event in November 2020. But, Amazon still has plenty to offer, especially when it comes to technology.
So far in its January sale, Amazon has delivered savings on a number of its own devices, including Fire tablets and the Echo Dot smart speaker.

Ring Video Doorbell Pro: Was £219, now £139, Amazon
Home security might not have featured highly on your Chirstmas list but if it’s a priority for the New Year, we suggest snapping up this Amazon deal on the Ring video doorbell pro.
In our round-up of the best doorbell cameras, The Independent’s technology critic, David Phelan said the gadget was a great investment for homeowners who want to see who is at their door, whether you’re upstairs or in another country.
The Pro version for the Ring doorbell has high-quality video and comes in a slim design. You can change the faceplate to suit your decor: Satin nickel, pearl, Venetian and black are all included in the box. This also contains a transformer, a wireless doorbell chime – handy if you don’t have any doorbell at the moment – and a plate which you can fit over the previous Ring doorbell if you’re upgrading.
The Ring app is easy to use and effective. Alerts are triggered by movement and you can adjust the areas covered so a person on the drive will alert you but a tree waving in the wind at the end of the garden won’t.
If this version doesn’t quite take your fancy, the good news is that a number of other Ring doorbell models featured in the same round-up, including the Ring video doorbell 2 (£89, Ring), which comes with a rechargeable battery that can last six months or more.
Alternatively, the Ring door view cam (£99, ring) is a great option for those who live in flats as it is designed to fit through a peephole and secures on the inside of the door without screws.
