Debenhams is an online department store selling fashion, beauty and homeware from a long list of brands, from boohoo and Dorothy Perkins to Clarins and Benefit. It suits shoppers who like to fill one basket across clothes, make-up and home bits, and anyone hunting for early Christmas gifts. Right now the site is running its October Sale, so much of the range is marked down. If you're starting your Christmas shopping, the gift pages are sorted by budget (under £10, £20, £30 and £50), which makes stocking fillers easy to find.
What's worth a look
- Debenhams Beauty Advent Calendar 2026: currently £120, or £114 with code BEAUTY5 as shown on the listing. Debenhams says the contents are worth £528. It's a good-value way to try lots of products, or a gift for a make-up fan.
- Benefit The Hotel Beneville 24-piece Beauty Advent Calendar: currently £149, or £141.55 with BEAUTY5. For Benefit fans who want a single-brand calendar.
- Clarins 12 Day Beauty Calendar: currently £98, or £93.10 with BEAUTY5. A shorter calendar aimed more at skincare than make-up.
- Coats, knitwear and boots: this edit has knits and jackets from under £20. When we checked, the boohoo Crew Neck Knitted Chunky Cardigan was £12.80 (down from £16) and the boohoo Funnel Neck Teddy Bomber Jacket was £20 (down from £25), both with a further discount shown for code FASHION. It's handy for topping up an autumn wardrobe cheaply.
- Slumberdown 2 Pack Cosy Nights Super Support Side Sleeper Firm Pillows: currently £17.90, down from £28.99, in the bedding sale. For side sleepers who like a firm pillow.

How to save more
- If you order from Debenhams more than a few times a year, compare the £14.99 Unlimited delivery pass with what you'd pay in delivery charges. If you only shop occasionally, use FREEDEL instead.
- Look at the price under each product before you add it to your basket. Many listings show the price after a code (for example "£114.00 with code BEAUTY5"), which tells you which code applies to that item.
- Delivery details can vary between items from different brands, so check the product page before you mix lots of sellers in one order.
