It’s crunch time for holiday shopping! Hopefully you scored some great deals over Black Friday and Cyber Monday—but if not, don’t despair.

Fitness, Beauty, and Wellness
Gym memberships, workout DVDs, fitness equipment, and leftover holiday gift sets are all more favorably priced in January. Last January, sports retailers like Dick’s, 24 Hour Fitness, and Footlocker had sales and there were also deals from beauty retailers like Bath & Body Works, e.l.f., Ulta, and Soap.com.
Linens
Ever since the first “white sale” in 1878, January has been a great month to buy bedding and linens. Many stores, like West Elm, Pottery Barn, and J.C. Penney, slash prices on sheets and bedding to make way for new spring merchandise.
Jewelry
While jewelry can make the perfect holiday gift, we don’t often see deep discounts in this category until after Valentine’s Day. Mother’s Day is also a good time for jewelry sales.
