Holiday Sales

After Holiday Sales

Grove Park Inn Gingerbread Houses

One holiday season may have come to an end, but the countdown to the next is still going and there are some great sales to be had. If anyone is looking to buy ornaments or any Christmas items as a gift for next Christmas, now is the time to buy. No matter where one is looking, be it online or in store, Christmas items are marked down as much as 80% (85% every now and then).

This is also a wonderful time to sock up on some winter clothes for next year. As fun as it is to shop for Christmas gifts, the sales that occur right before Christmas and after tend to be absolutely worth looking at. Kohl's is having a Baby, Maternity and Home Goods Sale. Some really good buys include Comforter Sets from $89.99 to $99.99, Christmas items (especially lights and inflatables), outdoor chairs and sets. There is a Wisteria Comforter Set (20 pieces) for $172, marks down from $430. For those shopping for baby gear, use promo code "HEYBABY20" until Jan. 13th, to get 20% off.


Old Navy is having a sale on Active Wear, 40% and a deal for online shoppers. Online shoppers only can get an extra 25% off regular priced items or 15% off already marked down items by using the promo code, "TREAT." As always, the store has kick butt prices, the clothes have really stepped it up to be good, affordable, and long lasting products, and it is hard to beat the jean prices for adults and children, $10 and $15. If shopping in store, be sure to go through the sales rack and all racks because there is always a really good sale that can be found, but sometimes it really does take looking. A few days ago, I found $2 kid pants, originally $17, but the key to finding them was really looking, taking time is definitely helpful.

Hallmark is a big deal during the holidays, this past season was no exception and the best prices on their ornaments come after the Christmas season. There are still plenty of ornaments online along with Interactive Storybooks and puzzles. While in store, there is usually an area, not in plan site, that has a Hodge lodge of holiday items ranging from Halloween to Christmas that can be as low as a few cents.

There are so many reasons to check out the sales and maybe make a new tradition to shop for Christmas gifts after Christmas rather than fighting the Black Friday or pre-Christmas crowd. Here's to keeping the Christmas Spirit all year long, and wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!!
