I Always Do My Christmas Shopping in the Sales—These 23 Gifts Come Editor-Approved
The Christmas lights have officially been lit, the tree is up and the streets depict the start of the festive countdown. For me, there's still plenty to get sorted before the celebrations can officially begin, including Christmas parties, last-minute Secret Santa swaps and stocking up on mince pies.
One task that is already underway is my gift shopping. As an expensive time of year for the reasons listed above, and more, I like to get ahead of my Christmas gift shopping by securing presents they'll love in the sales. And as I've already ticked off almost everyone on my list, I'm here to share my best finds with you.
Although the big discounts of Black Friday are gone, and we're not yet fully in the midst of the winter sales season, there are still some cheeky discounts to be found across the internet. Destinations such as NET-A-PORTER have up to 50% off across all categories, John Lewis has a series of deals and special offers, MyTheresa.com's sale continues, Harrods and Liberty too. So keep scrolling to take a look at the last-minute Christmas gifts I'd recommend you buy in the sales.
There's an array of excellent clothing deals, including a seriously chic Toteme coat that I can't believe is still in stock, alongside more affordable pieces that are even more budget-friendly with the added discounts. Some beauty sales have launched, so whether you're looking for a gift set for the friend who adores a particular brand or simply want to refill your own beauty cupboard, these are the discounts to see. Alongside I've sprinkled in a few homeware pieces, as no one will turn away a sweet-scented candle or a cosy blanket that will ready their sofa for yet another screening of Love Actually.
So if you're ready to get one thing ticked off your to-do list, keep scrolling to shop the best Christmas gifts on sale right now.
