Best things to buy and to skip in January: beauty gift sets, white sales, furniture and more
Holiday shopping for 2021 came and went, but a lot of January 2022's best sales have just begun.
However, before you use up your gift cards or bonuses, there are also some products experts recommend holding off on purchasing.
According to Offers.com, products such as mattresses and major appliances will be slightly discounted during Martin Luther King Jr. Day's weekend (Jan. 14 - Jan.17) but you have a better chance at getting the best deals during Presidents Day, 4th of July and Memorial Day weekends.
Experts also recommend holding off on jewelry buys until after Valentine's Day, and to purchase new gaming consoles and video games later in the year.
Alternatively, January is the perfect time to take advantage of deep discounts on items such as 4K TVs, beauty gift sets, and "white sales" on bedding, towels and more linen.

Beauty gift sets
In case you haven't had a chance to stock up on your beauty favorites, now might be the time to score a bundle deal. After the holidays, retailers are generally slashing prices on beauty gift items: from skin care to makeup.
Shop:
White sales
Traditionally, "white sales" --- which includes everything from towels, bedding and other home linens, go on sale after the holidays at department stores such as Macy's and Bed Bath & Beyond.
Flowers
If you are planning on getting a fresh bushel of blooms, now may be the perfect time to buy as opposed to waiting closer to Valentine's Day when prices will increase.
Or, you can get an early gift for your loved one by purchasing dry or artificial flowers that they can keep forever.
