The Best New Year’s Sales to Kick Off 2026 Are at Spanx, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, and More — Up to 81% Off

Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Day have come and gone, so it’s totally normal to be experiencing a case of the post-holiday blues. I’m not a doctor, but a little retail therapy always helps pull me out of a slump — and after-Christmas sales provide the ideal excuse. 

Whether you’re hoping to snag an item that didn’t make it off your wish list or just on the hunt for a good deal, the sales happening this weekend at Lululemon, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, Spanx, and more are not to be missed. 

Best Sales Right Now

Zella Mock Neck Waffle Knit Tunic

Nordstrom is hosting one of its biggest sales of the year right now — the Half-Yearly Sale — making it the ideal time to refresh your winter wardrobe. More than 94,000 finds are marked down now, including sweaters, boots, jeans, pajamas, and more, with savings up to 60 percent off. 

If there’s one neckline I’ve been seeing everywhere this season, it’s this Gen Z-approved mock neck style. This relaxed waffle knit sweater can be paired with some also-on-sale pants to create a cozy lounge set or styled separately with jeans or flared leggings. 

Anthropologie The Festive Icon Juice Glass, $6 in cart

Festive kitchen finds have steep discounts post-Christmas, including the brand’s icon glasses, holiday mugs, baking dishes, and more. Anthropologie is cleaning house to make room for new winter and Valentine’s Day picks, so you’ll need to act fast to grab these after-Christmas deals. 

This juice glass has handmade beaded glass snowglobe embellishments pressed into the cup for festive sipping when Christmas rolls around again next year. The limited-edition holiday glass collection included several styles in the heyday of the season — all of which are now sold out — so grab this straggler before it’s too late. 

Spanx AirEssentials Relaxed Long Sleeve Top

Spanx’s sale section is quietly overflowing with more than 800 discounted styles, including workout gear, loungewear, denim, shapewear, and more — with discounts up to 77 percent off. Refresh your wardrobe for the new year with the style you’ve been dying to try, or restock the ones you’ve loved for years. 

This classic long-sleeve tee is on sale for just $49 in all five colors — brown, black, navy, red, and pier stripe. Its tencel and modal fabric is buttery soft and stretches to move with you for all-day comfort. It has a split hem that’s hip-length in the front and slightly longer in the back, providing the same flattering effect as a front tuck, without the added bulk at your waistline. 

Pottery Barn Handcrafted Marbled Ceramic Vase

Christmas decorations aren’t the only thing on sale during Pottery Barn’s post-holiday sale — discounted bedding, décor, furniture, and more are also up for grabs. Not to mention the markdowns hiding in the brand’s hush-hush outlet. Start fresh in 2026, and replace that tattered comforter or stained sofa before these deals expire. 

Didn’t unwrap that perfect piece of home décor on Christmas morning? Take that as an excuse to grab exactly what you wanted for yourself — like this stunning marbled ceramic vase. It’s handcrafted of earthenware clay in three different hues to create the marbling effect and finished with a glossy, clear glaze. 

Project Cloud Faux Fur-Lined Leather Boots

Santa forgot to deliver an item on your wish list this Christmas? Don’t fret! There’s no need to wait until next year; you can grab that Apple Watch, matching pajama set, or a slew of other gifts on sale now at Amazon. Deals on cozy winter fashion are aplenty, too — like fleece-lined leggings and warm winter coats. 

These number one best-selling Project Cloud Faux Fur-Lined Boots are sure to keep your toes toasty for the rest of the winter season — and they’re on sale right now. The outer material is made from genuine leather suede that’s water-resistant, and the soles have traction that provides grip in icy conditions.

Kelly Clarkson Home Fleckenstein Oriental Rug

Wayfair’s End of Year Clearance Sale ended on January 1, but the brand must have forgotten to bring these picks back up to normal price, because we found lingering savings of up to 81 percent off. Patio furniture, cozy blankets, mattresses, holiday décor, and more are among the major markdowns you can still shop today. 

This rug from Kelly Clarkson’s home brand is a whopping $365, or 68 percent off, in this bold red and blue medallion print. It measures just over 7- by 9-feet long, making it the ideal size for a living room or bedroom. It’s low-pile, which makes it easy to clean and suitable for high-traffic areas. 

Lululemon Large Everywhere Belt Bag

Following Lululemon’s Year-End Sale, we found ample workout gear to help you crush your New Year’s resolutions and loungewear to soften the blow of the post-holiday blues — and it’s all in the We Made Too Much section. 

This reader-favorite belt bag is among the picks you can snag, with an impressive markdown in this pink haze hue. I personally used my belt bag to tote everyday essentials like my phone, wallet, sunglasses, and a portable charger on a six-month-long backpacking trip, and it still functions as well as the day I unboxed it. 

Strathberry Multress Chain Wallet

This bag brand received a sartorial stamp of approval from two of the royal family’s leading ladies — Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, and one PEOPLE shopping editor, too. The Duchess of Sussex has been spotted sporting a Strathberry green crossbody bag and a Midi Tote, among others. 

The Princess of Wales styled this Multrees Chain Wallet with an all-white ensemble at an event in June, and while her exact white and gold bag isn’t currently on sale, this navy hue in the same style is available at 25 percent off. A total of 141 Strathberry bags are on sale during the brand’s end-of-season sale, with discounts of up to 30 percent off. 

Vionic Kimmie Court Sneaker

DSW’s semi-annual sale kicked off on December 26 and runs through January 5, but picks are going fast. We found shoes and sneakers from popular brands, including Adidas, Brooks, Skechers, and Cole Haan, with discounts good enough to warrant hitting ‘add to cart.’

The podiatrist-approved brand that Oprah once dubbed a “favorite” is on sale, too. These Vionic sneakers are crafted from leather and fitted with an orthotic insert that provides ample support as you get your steps in. They’re down to just $85 in black and this white hue with a gum sole.
