While You’ve Been Lounging in Your PJs, I Rounded Up 7 Can’t-Miss After-Christmas Deals at Amazon

I love gifting myself a little treat every holiday season, but I always wait to shop until Christmas is over to score some major savings. And right now, deals are to be had at Amazon with discounts up to 50 percent off. 

As a shopping writer at Real Simple, I spend my weeks sorting through the best possible products, so I’ve stocked my cart accordingly with Amazon’s after-Christmas sales. My curated list includes popular finds like journals, electric blankets, and teeth-whitening strips from New Balance, Rifle Paper Co., and Crest. Not only are all of these items on sale and handpicked by yours truly, but they’ve also secured thousands of five-star ratings from shoppers. 

Amazon Writer-Loved After-Christmas Sales

New Balance 237 V1 Sneakers

Living in New York City, I’ve found comfortable tennis shoes are an essential part of my wardrobe. I’m giving my current pair a much-needed upgrade with these New Balance sneakers that have a sleek suede and mesh exterior and a supportive insole. I plan to wear them out casually with a long-sleeve shirt and leggings, and more dressed up to work with a sweater and jeans. 

Bedsure Electric Blanket

The Northeast gets particularly chilly in the winter, so I’m finally investing in this Bedsure electric blanket to keep me toasty warm at night. The blanket is designed with one soft ribbed side and one fleece-lined side with a built-in heater. It has six temperature settings and 10 timer settings, so I can set it exactly to my ideal preference. The blanket is exclusively on sale for Amazon Prime members, but if you’re not a member yet, you can sign up here for a free 30-day trial. 

Rifle Paper Co. Journal

I’m a firm believer in creating goals for the new year, so I’m continuing my long-standing tradition in 2025 with this adorable Rifle Paper Co. journal. The journal has a hardcover exterior with a stunning floral pattern on it, and inside are lined pages with a flower at the top of each one. An added bonus? The journal has a built-in pen loop on the side, complete with a luxe gold pen.

Olanly Bath Mat

I’ve had the same pair of bath mats for years now, and while they have served their purpose, you can definitely see the wear. So, I’m swapping out those dingy white rugs with this No.1 best-selling Olanly bath mat that’s durable, absorbent, and quick-drying. The mat has a plush top that feels soft on my feet and a rubber backing so I don’t have to worry about slipping or sliding. It comes in 20 sizes, so I’ll be grabbing two of the smallest to fit my mini-sized bathroom. 

Crest 3D Whitestrips

I’ve been looking into a teeth-whitening solution that won’t break the bank, and I’ve finally landed on these Crest 3D Whitestrips that have earned more than 70,000 five-star ratings from satisfied reviewers. One shopper wrote that their teeth look “professionally whitened” minus the high-end price tag. The kit comes with 44 standard strips and two express whitening strips, which is equivalent to 21 at-home treatments. Sign me up! 

Anrabess 2-Piece Matching Lounge Set

My work-from-home attire almost entirely consists of matching lounge sets, so I’m adding another one to my winter collection with this cute and comfy Anrabess set. The set comes with a pullover long-sleeve sweatshirt and coordinating high-waisted bottoms that flare at the legs. I love all of the colors available, but I’m extra obsessed with the pink apricot! 

Citylife Collapsible Storage Bin Set

My tiny Manhattan apartment doesn’t have the most storage space available, so I’m snagging these collapsible bins to help make the most of what room I have. And now that the holidays are coming to a close, I’ll use the pack of two to organize my seasonal decorations. The boxes can be neatly stacked on top of each other or side by side. And when I’m not using them, the boxes conveniently fold flat to store.
