The festivities are fast approaching, but if you’re worried you’ve left things a little late, consider this your reassurance. There’s still time to refresh your home and tableware ahead of Christmas, New Year, and those in-between Twixmas gatherings – all without the last-minute rush.
If you’re Christmas hosting this season, Anthropologie’s big sale, running now until 26th December, is an ideal opportunity to invest in pieces that extend well beyond Christmas Day. Think elegant dinnerware, eye-catching glassware, and statement serving pieces designed to work just as beautifully for New Year celebrations and relaxed Twixmas get-togethers. These are timeless homeware finds that elevate your table without feeling overtly seasonal.
With generous discounts running right through to Boxing Day, now is the moment to snap up styles you’ll reach for long after the decorations come down. Here are our top picks.
The sale is extensive – and perhaps most enticing of all, orders placed by 7:30 pm on 21st December will arrive in time for Christmas. It means you can still tick off those last-minute festive purchases, all at a reduced price. A timely win indeed.
What Our Editors Are Shopping
These charming taper candles are ideal for hosting throughout December and January. Festive enough to complement Christmas décor, yet understated enough to remain stylish once the tinsel and tree are packed away.
In my home, the fragrance refresh happens on Boxing Day: goodbye cinnamon and orange, hello crisp, fresh florals. If you do the same, now is the perfect time to order fresh candles from Anthropologie before they return to full price – they also make a beautiful gift for stocking fillers.
I rarely see Anna + Nina ceramics discounted, so this one has me genuinely excited. I adore this mug – it’s the perfect gift for that friend you’ll see after Christmas, and honestly, a treat worth giving yourself too.
If you’re planning New Year’s drinks, now is the perfect moment to stock up on beautifully crafted, solid glasses. At just £8 each, they feel like a steal, and the substantial, weighted base gives them a luxe, high-end feel.
Coupe glasses are a festive essential, and these iridescent ones are simply perfect. Coming in a set of four and currently heavily discounted, they’re a brilliant choice if you’re looking to elevate your bubbles this season.
These timeless green-and-white napkins are as perfect for a Christmas tablescape as they are for a summer alfresco meal. A versatile, transitional set that’s well worth investing in now.
Another rare Anna + Nina discount! I adore this ceramic butter dish – the festive fir tree illustrations make it perfect for Christmas, yet it’s elegant enough to use on your table from November through March.
Perfect for New Year’s entertaining, these trays also make thoughtful Christmas gifts for anyone who loves to host. They’re an elegant and unexpected alternative to the usual bottle of wine for a hostess gift.
Another fantastic stocking filler – but at this price, I’d pick up a few to tuck into Christmas presents or place around the house near candles. With no overtly festive pattern, they work beautifully year-round and can be replenished with more matches when they run out.
Whether you’re hosting a last-minute gathering or planning for the days between Christmas and New Year, this sale is a timely reminder that beautiful tableware doesn’t need to be seasonal to feel special. Choosing pieces you’ll reach for again and again makes entertaining easier, more relaxed, and far less about perfection. With these finds, you’re not just preparing for the festive season – you’re setting the stage for countless gatherings to come.
