While the festive season may feel like a distant memory, savvy shoppers across the UK are being urged to think ahead. Starting your Christmas shopping now, as the January sales wind down, is a clever strategy that can save both significant money and future holiday stress.
Unmissable Deals on Festive Decor and Trees
Major retailers are offering deep discounts to clear their remaining seasonal stock. John Lewis is leading the charge with reductions of up to 70 per cent on Christmas decorations, alongside 50 per cent off festive tableware and baking essentials.
For those looking to avoid the annual pine needle cleanup, Argos has slashed prices on reusable artificial trees by up to 50 per cent. Meanwhile, Pottery Barn UK is clearing out its entire 2023 Christmas decor collection, offering timeless pieces for less.
Stylish Homeware and Unique Gifts at a Fraction of the Price
Shoppers seeking more stylish or unique items are also in luck. Anthropologie's ongoing homeware sale features an array of chic ornaments, cushions, and home fragrances, with shoppers currently able to secure an extra 20 per cent off at checkout.
Finding quality Christmas crackers can be a challenge, but Sockshop has a solution. Its gift box, containing six bonbons each with a pair of festive bamboo socks, is now just £9.99, down from £16.99. It's also a prime time to stock up on Christmas cards, with many packs on clearance.
Lighting Up Your Home for Less
No festive setup is complete without lights, and here too the savings are substantial. Retailers including The Range, Habitat, and B&Q are all offering discounts on string lights with various functions like timers. H&M's home sale also continues to feature plenty of affordable Christmas buys, from tree stars to cushion covers.
By taking advantage of these lingering January sales, Brits can secure everything from a Habitat 6ft Christmas tree for £120 down from its original price, to B&Q's multicolour LED string lights for £10. Acting now means you can enter the next festive season feeling prepared, organised, and financially ahead.
