After spending the past few weeks frantically buying and wrapping presents for loved ones, it’s finally time to buy a few new things for myself. With Christmas behind us, it’s the perfect time to refresh, reset, and treat yourself for the new year.
2025 is only a few days away, but Amazon is already buzzing with tons of New Year’s sales. Low prices like these won’t last long, so we’re giving you the inside scoop on the deals that are already in your cart this week. From ultra-soft sweaters to shine-boosting hair serums, my picks will help you start the new year looking fresh.

My shopping mantra for the next 12 months will be comfort and practicality. Of course I mix and match here and there, but my priority this year is to buy things I actually want to wear. Case in point, this cozy ribbed pullover from The Drop is easy to dress up or down all winter long. Accessories like this suede Madewell buckle bag are also perfect for adding a touch of subtle luxury to any look. And of course, you can’t survive January in New York without the essentials, so we’re also eyeing chic fringe scarves and bright beanies.

After a vacation in frigid Pennsylvania, my skin and hair are duller than I expected. Add CeraVe’s Moisturizing Cream and Chi’s Keratin Hair Serum to your cart for much-needed hydration. The body cream is loaded with ceramides to soothe dry, cracked skin, and the serum enhances hair softness and shine. Additionally, since I always carry a variety of bags, I also carry this set of 3 Yurelin hand creams in all of my purses.
Your 2024 struggle with uncomfortable pillows will end this year. I finally tried Amazon’s best-selling pillow. Currently on sale for under $50 with on-site coupons. I’ve also been wanting to invest in a new coffee machine for months, and thankfully Nespresso, which is at the top of my wish list, is also on sale. And now that Christmas is over, I’m going to swap out my seasonal fragrances for gentle, neutral options like this floral-scented Yankee Candle.
It’s only a matter of time before prices return to normal, so stock up on these great deals while you can. Head on over to Amazon to get your favorites from the First Sale and browse more of my favorites below.
