Do you like shopping for all of the after Christmas deals? I am not much for shopping before or after Christmas, but if I was here are a few things I would keep in mind that might be helpful for you!!!!
Shop Ahead for Upcoming Occasions
Use the after-Christmas sales to stock up on birthday presents, anniversary gifts, Mother's Day/Father's Day presents and end-of-the-year teacher's gifts. Some ideas to consider:
stocking stuffers can be used as party favors, in Easter baskets or as Valentine's gifts for the kids
red candy, candles and decorations can be used for Valentine's Day
green candy and decorations can be used for St. Patrick’s Day
solid colored gift wrap can be used year-round
solid colored party supplies (plates, napkins, cups) can be used for birthdays and BBQs
gift sets can be repackaged (if they’re in holiday packaging), and given throughout the year
Don't Overlook Thrift Stores they receive a lot of year-end donations from folks who are looking to grab a last-minute tax deduction, and that means there's lots of new loot for thrift store shoppers to sift through.
Snatch Up Bargains on Returned Merchandise! One man's Christmas return could become your next big bargain.
Do you make a lot of your own Christmas gifts? Then, use those after Christmas sales to stock up on holiday-themed ribbon, fabric and craft supplies.
