So anyways, hey y'all! My name is Isabella, and I’m a college student learning how to navigate adulthood right alongside you!! Today, I will help you locate the best post-Christmas deals to be on the lookout for. Keep reading
Christmas Decorations
Okay, you're probably like, duh, but you can't forget about this! My best tip is not to impulse buy a bunch of Christmas decor throughout the holiday season (quite the ask, I know) but instead make a list of all of the items you need or want to add to your collection next year and shop for them on sale! What could be better?
Especially as a college student, I honestly see it as somewhat of an investment to buy truly quality pieces that I will be able to keep for years and that allows me to grow my collection of decor.
One of my favorite things to do is go to Micheals and Hobby Lobby after Christmas and grab some of their adorable ornaments because their after-Christmas markdown deals are to die for.
Gift Sets
This is one of the BEST money-saving tricks because these make perfect gifts. Make sure it is something that won't expire by the time you gift it to someone...
However, this is great for haircare, skincare, and beauty products, especially ones that aren't packaged in anything Christmas-themed, to use as birthday gifts, hostess gifts, and so much more!
Red Items
Be on the lookout for anything red that can be rebranded as a Valentine's Day gift! There are actually more plain red items that can easily work for Valentine's Day than you probably think.
Keep your eye peeled for these items that can be repurposed! Be creative 🙂
Christmas Gift Wrap
Christmas wrapping paper has quickly become increasingly expensive due to its cute designs, so my mom and I always keep our eyes peeled for it during our after-Christmas shopping.
This is something you know you will use every year, so you will get the most out of it and find some good deals on saving money.
Household Items with Snowflakes
It seems random, but to get in the holiday spirit, most companies will have some festive packaging, even if it is something discrete like snowflakes.
However, these items are usually considered holiday-related, so they often get marked down.
Be on the lookout for paper towels, Ziploc bags, napkins, plates, etc., if they are holiday-themed.
Easy Gift Items or Personal Items!
Christmas tea towels, pajamas, soap, cookware, candles, socks, stationery, pet toys, fitness equipment, anything you can imagine! Make a list and go hunting for your after-Christmas deals.
Hostess Supplies
Look out for Christmas-themed items that will elevate your hosting experience next year. You know you will use these items, often available for significantly discounted deals.
Items include placemats, name card holders, napkins, napkin holders, plates, cups, napkins, and so much more.
I hope this post gave you some unique ideas of what to shop for during the after-Christmas season to save you some money and make your next holiday seasons a breeze!
With Love,
Isabella XO
