Gigglebit: Memes for braving post-Christmas sales

26 Dec 2014

Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note.

Shoppers, start your engines:  December 26 is Boxing Day – or St Stephens Day in Ireland – when retailers slash the prices on their wares and buyers take advantage of the deep discounts.

Boxing Day in the shops can be notoriously crowded and busy, with some shoppers even forming queues outside of stores well before they open, and we’ve got the Boxing Day memes to prove it.

For those who prefer to avoid the mobs, online shopping is an option!
