I’m a Shopping Writer, and These Are the Amazon After-Christmas Deals Worth Shopping Now

Christmas is such a special time of year with meaningful traditions, sparkling decorations, and plenty of time spent with family and friends. It can also come with a lot of pressure since it’s a major gift-giving holiday. But giving gifts can be fun and rewarding, and of course, it’s a treat to spy a little special something under the tree for yourself.

I’m grateful for the gifts I’ve received this Christmas season, and I also have a few things in mind for a little after-Christmas indulgence. Treat yourself with one of these 15 fantastic finds, all currently discounted on Amazon, if you’re looking for a post-season pick-me-up.

Ugg Bliss Throw Blanket

I have to admit, I already have one of these luxuriously soft Ugg throws. But I love it so much that I don’t want to use any of my other throw blankets, so I’m eyeing a second one. There are five hues to choose from, and all can be washed and dried for easy care. One side is fleece while the other is fluffy. The polyester material meets Oeko-Tex Standard 100 requirements and is also hypoallergenic. In a generous size perfect for all-day snuggle sessions on the couch, you can snag your own throw right now for more than 50% off.

Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace

Even though Christmas is done for the year, that doesn’t mean I have to put away all the sparkles. This Kendra Scott pendant necklace is 14-karat-gold-plated and is a bestseller on Amazon. With a whopping 75 colors and styles to choose from, the gold-and-rose quartz style offers a dash of sparkle for just $50 (normally $60). It’s neutral enough to go with just about anything and can be casual or dressy, making it a versatile jewelry box staple. And over 2,400 Amazon shoppers have given it a perfect five-star rating.

Boriwat Back Massager with Heat

I love a good back massage, but I don’t love the high price tag. Having an at-home back massager like this one would be a much less expensive, more convenient way to relieve tension between massage sessions, and it’s on sale at Amazon. It provides heat along with a kneading massage motion, so it’s perfect for those hard-to-reach shoulder blade knots. Choose from three speeds, three intensity levels, two heat settings, and two direction settings from the attached remote for your own personal massage session at home.

Peter Pauper Press Celestial Journal

As a writer, I’ve always been drawn to beautiful notebooks and journals (though actually writing in them is another story!). The embellished cover of this blue-and-gold journal opens to reveal lightly lined pages and a ribbon bookmark to save your place. It contains 160 pages in a compact 6.25- x 8.25-inch size, which I can easily fit into a large purse or tote. I love that this journal is from a small business, and of course, it doesn’t hurt that it's also on sale for $8.
