After Christmas for Christmas

Friday, January 20, 2012

Is it socially acceptable to talk about Christmas goodies I won't be using for another 11 months? Let's just pretend is perfectly OK. I didn't mean to buy anything after Christmas for Christmas, but hey when you come across items that are marked down 50 to 70% off, you need to at least look at potential goodies. My first stop checking out Christmas goodies was West Elm ( online ) I was a day late shopping online, but I still scored four red felted stockings for only $ 4 bucks each and free shipping! I didn't even have to drive to our nearest West Elm which is about 20-25 mins in my car, this makes me a happy girl. I'm so glad I bought them! Every year I intend to sew stockings, I just never find time. Next year we're planning on a colorful traditional Christmas decor. 






My next Christmas loot came from Target, there I bought a box of pretty green & red ornaments for around five bucks, I also bought some breaded cranberry strings and a Christmas door mat for only three dollars! The door mat is so nice, its already packed away for next year. I also grabbed a bunch of wrapping paper for only a $ 1.25!! 




Lastly my favorite buy is the vintage style Elf on the Shelf!! I'm so happy about getting this set it even comes with the book :) I paid half :) I love how its all about starting new family traditions, so this makes it even more fun. I'm so excited about the Elf!! :)




Did you score any good deals after Christmas for Christmas?

  1. You got some great deals. The elf on a shelf is so cute! I went to Target as well and got LOADS of Christmas wrap, boxes, bows, ribbon and wreath hangers and the total was around $18!

  5. Oh yes, it is definitely acceptable to talk about Christmas ideas this early! The stockings are really cool (and unusual).

  6. Hi Katrina!
    I just came across your blog via Pinterest :)
    I was going to also do some post-Christmas shopping, but I think I over-stocked this year!! I gotta admit that those 80% off ticket prices looked mighty tempting! (as they always do)
    Also, loving that 'Elf on a Shelf'! :)

  10. My local Target barely had anything left once everything was marked down to 75%. I was able to find a bunch of items at two of my local Wal-marts.
