Shop & Save Post-Christmas Deals
You’ve spent countless hours and hard-earned money to get the best gifts for your family and friends, so now’s the time for you to get what topped your Christmas list. Immediately following the holidays is the best time to save, so here are a few great ways to get a lot for less:
Looks a lot Like Christmas
Retailers need to prepare for the next big holiday – Valentine’s Day – so shelves must be cleared of red, green and snowflake patterned packages. Take stock of your gift closet and see what needs replenishing, because in one week all the goods will be gone.
If you’ve got foodie friends, gourmet gift baskets are the perfect gift. Buy a few that are significantly marked down, take them apart and re-package the food items for your own gift giving purposes in the coming months. If you join GourmetClub.com via email, you’ll get 10% off your next order, which could result in unheard-of savings. You’ll need some wrapping paper, bows and tape to get those gifts ready for the lucky recipients, so visit BagsandBows.com, which has everything you need. Shop their clearance sale, going on right now, and you’ll save up to 75% off your order. Take note of “final sale” or “not quite new” areas of retailers’ websites, because they will be chock full of Christmas gifts that people returned, which cannot be re-sold for the original retail price, due to missing packaging and/or parts. Look for sets or bulk-packaged goods that you can separate and dole out to loved ones celebrating a special occasion.
Got Gift Cards?
You’ve got some new plastic to spend, thanks to your office’s Secret Santa exchange and the delivery of some holiday cards that were packing some gift card magic inside of them. Until January 7th, BestBuy.com is offering $38 off a Nintendo Wii Console and New Super Mario Bros. Game and Music CD Bundle, which will not only be fun for you, but the whole family. Target.com, whose gift cards were included in the top 20 most given gift cards of the season list, wants you to save $5 off your $50 purchase, which basically means free nail polish or a perfect pouty lipstick for New Year’s Eve! If you received a Gap.com gift card, also a popular choice, you’ve got the option of spending it at any of these three sites: Gap.com, OldNavy.com and BananaRepublic.com. Plus, pay no shipping on orders over $50, including items found in the clearance sections, which are up to 60% off.
