What to Expect at L’Occitane’s After Christmas Sale in 2024

Leave a comment

Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: L’Occitane typically offers one of its biggest sales of the year right after the holiday season. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming sale, including when it starts, what kind of discounts to expect, and tips for making the most of it.

When Does the Sale Start and End?

The event is expected to kick off on December 26, 2024, both online at loccitane.com and at all L’Occitane boutiques in the United States. This is a limited-time event that will likely last through January 10, 2025.

If you’re planning to shop, it’s best to act quickly, as popular items tend to sell out early. Seasonal favorites, limited-edition gift sets, and best-sellers often see the steepest discounts, making them a high priority for shoppers.

What Discounts Can You Expect?

During the After Christmas Sale, L’Occitane is expected to offer discounts of up to 50% off on select items. While the specific list of discounted products hasn’t been released yet, we can make some educated guesses based on past sales. Here’s what you might see on sale:

Seasonal Beauty Favorites

  • Holiday gift sets and limited-edition scents are often featured during this event. These items typically come in festive packaging and include multiple products bundled together at a discounted price. Look for collections that include L’Occitane’s iconic Almond Shower Oil, Shea Butter Hand Cream, or Verbena products.

Skincare and Body Care Staples

  • Best-selling items like the Immortelle Precious Cream, Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream, and the Almond Milk Concentrate are often included in the sale. Discounts on these products can vary, but they’re usually marked down by 20-50%, depending on the item.

Fragrance and Home Items

  • L’Occitane’s fragrances and home collections are also likely to be part of the sale. Candles, room sprays, and personal fragrances such as the Verbena Eau de Toilette and Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette might see price reductions of up to 30% off.

Gifts with Purchase

One of the standout features of this sale is the opportunity to pick up a free gift with a qualifying purchase. Last year, customers who spent $120 or more received a complimentary gift set featuring travel-sized versions of some of L’Occitane’s most popular products. These included:

  • Immortelle Precious Cream
  • White Lavender Soothing Hand Cream
  • Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In Serum
  • Shea Ultra Rich Lip Balm

To claim the free gift, shoppers had to enter the promo code BEAUTY24 at checkout. While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, a similar offer is likely to return this year.

Terms to Keep in Mind

Before you dive into the sale, there are a few important details to consider:

  1. Final Sale Items: All discounted products are typically sold as “final sale,” meaning they cannot be returned or exchanged. Make sure you’re confident about your selections before completing your purchase.
  2. Availability: The sale is only available to U.S. customers, and items are offered on a while-supplies-last basis. Once popular products sell out, they’re gone for good, so it’s a good idea to shop early.
  3. Restrictions on Free Gift Offers:
    • The free gift with purchase is usually limited to one per customer.
    • You’ll need to meet the minimum purchase requirement of $120 or more to qualify.
    • The promo code (or its 2024 equivalent) must be applied at checkout for online purchases, and the offer may not be available at all retail locations.

What to Expect at Kohl’s After Christmas Sale 2024

1 Comment

Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: Kohl’s After Christmas Sale is quickly coming up once again and is expected to follow the same formula as in previous years, with deep discounts on leftover and clearance inventory across categories like apparel and home goods, with extra Kohl’s Cash offered on top of that. Here’s everything you need to know about the sale, including key dates, what to buy, and how to make the most of the offers.

When Does the Sale Start and End?

Kohl’s After Christmas Sale is expected to begin on December 26, 2024, both in stores and online at kohls.com. The event will likely run through January 21, 2025, giving you nearly a full month to take advantage of the markdowns.

However, if you want to maximize your savings, the first day of the sale—December 26—is a key date to remember. On this day, Kohl’s is expected to reintroduce their Kohl’s Cash offer, which allows shoppers to earn $10 in Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent. This is a major incentive to shop early, as the earned Kohl’s Cash will likely be redeemable from January 1 through January 7, 2025.

What Discounts Can You Expect?

The After Christmas Sale at Kohl’s is traditionally one of their biggest clearance events of the year, offering discounts of 50% to 70% off on a variety of items. It might be even better this year as firsthand reports on TikTok show a lackluster holiday shopping season. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect based on previous years:

End-of-Season Clearance

  • Seasonal items, including holiday decor, gift wrap, and ornaments, are typically marked down by up to 70% off. These are great deals for those looking to stock up for next year.
  • Apparel from Kohl’s exclusive brands and national labels also sees significant markdowns, with winter clothing and accessories often discounted by 50% or more.

Home Goods and Kitchen Essentials

  • Expect major savings on bedding, small kitchen appliances, and storage solutions. These categories often have steep discounts during this event as Kohl’s clears out inventory to make room for new arrivals.
  • Past sales have included deals like 60% off select bedding sets and 50% off small appliances such as air fryers and coffee makers.

Toys and Kids’ Items

  • Toys, games, and kids’ clothing are usually heavily discounted as Kohl’s wraps up the holiday season. Look for clearance prices on popular brands and exclusive collections.

Fitness and Wellness Gear

  • With the new year just around the corner, Kohl’s often promotes fitness-related items such as exercise equipment, activewear, and wellness tools. Discounts of 30-50% off are common in these categories.

How Does Kohl’s Cash Work During the Sale?

One of the standout features of Kohl’s After Christmas Sale is the Kohl’s Cash program, which allows you to earn rewards for future purchases based on how much you spend. Here’s a quick guide to how it works during the sale:

Earning Kohl’s Cash

  • Last year, for every $50 spent in a single transaction, you earned $10 in Kohl’s Cash. This applieed to purchases made both in-store and online.
  • The earning window is expected to be December 26, 2024, meaning you’ll need to shop on this day to take advantage of the offer.

Redeeming Kohl’s Cash

  • The redemption window is typically in early January, likely January 1–7, 2025 this year. During this time, you can use your Kohl’s Cash to save on future purchases.
  • Kohl’s Cash can be combined with other coupons or discounts, though there are exclusions (more on that below).

Exclusions to Note

  • Kohl’s Cash usually cannot be earned or redeemed on Sephora at Kohl’s merchandise, gift cards, Kohl’s Cares items, or services like taxes or shipping.
  • If you return an item purchased during the earning period, Kohl’s may reduce your refund to account for any Kohl’s Cash that was earned or redeemed on the transaction.

Exclusions and Restrictions

As with any major sale, there are a few restrictions and terms to keep in mind to avoid surprises at checkout:

  1. Exclusions on Kohl’s Cash:
    • Kohl’s Cash cannot be earned on certain purchases, including gift cards, Sephora at Kohl’s items, and charitable merchandise.
    • It cannot be redeemed for cash or applied to past purchases.
  2. Limitations on Use:
    • The amount of Kohl’s Cash you can redeem in a single transaction may be capped at 6 coupons per purchase.
    • Kohl’s Cash must be used within the specified redemption period; unused Kohl’s Cash will likely expire after January 7, 2025.
  3. While Supplies Last:
    • As with most clearance events, the deals are only available while supplies last, so it’s best to shop early for the widest selection.

What to Expect at Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale in 2024

Leave a comment

Updated on Friday, December 6, 2024: Kiehl’s annual After Christmas Sale will soon be here and it’s usually one of the best opportunities of the season to stock up on your favorite formulas or to try out something new.  Here’s a closer look at what you can expect, from key dates and discounts to how to make the most of this limited-time event.

When Does the Sale Start and End?

Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale is expected to kick off on December 26, 2024, both online at kiehls.com and in Kiehl’s standalone boutiques across the U.S. The sale will run for a limited time, expected to end at 3:00 AM EST on December 30, 2024 (that’s based on last year’s sales schedule).

This gives you just four days to take advantage of the discounts, so it’s essential to shop early—especially since many items are available only while supplies last. If past sales are any indication, popular gift sets and best-selling items tend to sell out quickly, so it’s a good idea to plan your purchases ahead of time.

What Are the Expected Discounts?

While the full details of this year’s sale haven’t been officially released, you can expect them to offer 30% off select sets and individual items. This discount typically applies to a wide range of skincare products, from moisturizers and serums to body care essentials and cleansers.

Here’s what you can anticipate:

  1. Discounted Gift Sets:
    Gift sets often feature some of Kiehl’s most popular products bundled together at a discounted price. During last year’s sale, these sets were a standout feature, and it’s likely they’ll make a return in 2024. If you’ve been eyeing a holiday gift set, this could be your chance to grab one for less.
  2. Savings Across Popular Categories:
    Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale usually includes products from their core skincare lines, including:

    • Facial moisturizers like the Ultra Facial Cream, one of their best-selling and highly-rated items.
    • Serums such as the Midnight Recovery Concentrate.
    • Body care items like the Crème de Corps line, a favorite for deep hydration during winter.
    • Cleansers and toners for all skin types.
  3. Free Ground Shipping on Orders of $50 or More:
    Free shipping is always a welcome addition, especially during sales events. During the After Christmas Sale, any order totaling $50 or more qualifies for free ground shipping, which is a great incentive to stock up on multiple items or gift sets.

Exclusions and Restrictions

As with most sales, there are a few exclusions and limitations to keep in mind during Kiehl’s After Christmas Sale.

  • Exclusions on Certain Locations:
    • The sale is usually not valid at Kiehl’s counters located in department stores or at Kiehl’s Airport locations.
    • Kiehl’s locations in Puerto Rico are often excluded from participating in the promotion.
  • Product and Purchase Restrictions:
    • Discounts cannot be applied to previous purchases.
    • The offer is subject to product availability, meaning some items may sell out quickly.
  • Employee Restrictions:
    • The sale is not valid for L’Oréal employees, as Kiehl’s is part of the L’Oréal brand family.
  • Legal Restrictions:
    • The promotion is void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by law, so some areas may not qualify for the sale or its perks.
  • Limit of 5 Orders Per Customer:
    • It’s worth noting that there’s often a limit of 5 orders per customer during this sale. While most shoppers won’t hit this threshold, it’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning to make multiple purchases.
