Preparing for Black Friday on a Budget

Here at Portmeirion, we’re keen to help you shop consciously this festive season while still having the merriest of Christmases. Looking to be one of the most challenging ones yet, with rising energy bills and supermarket inflations on top of an already expensive time of year, making the most of any offers available and spreading your shop across a couple of months can help ease some of the financial pressure leading up to the big day. 
Although it may seem a little early for some of you to start your Christmas prep, Black Friday is just around the corner. So, we’ve pulled together our guide to shopping with us this season and making the most of our Black Friday Sale while on a budget.

With timeless designs that evolve with trends, a gift from Portmeirion is set to last a lifetime. Our iconic Botanic Garden has been gracing our homes and dining tables for 50 years, bringing the outside in and making us smile all year round. Whether it’s a special gift, such as a vase, crystal wine glasses, a mug, or a new dinner set for the home, there’s so much to choose from. 

As well as treats perfect for gifting, our collections can also be used for any dining occasion. Made with the modern home in mind, our collections can be used for both everyday dining and formal get-togethers. Your favourite collections, such as Sophie Conran and Botanic Garden can also be taken through the seasons. Add festive flourishes to add a seasonal twist, or layer with Christmas-inspired collections, such as Sophie Conran Mistletoe or The Holly and the Ivy for a mix and match tablescape. 

We also have lots of home accessories and gifts that can have more than one use in the home, so you can get more from your favourite Portmeirion pieces. Once your Sophie Conran candle has finished filling your home with a beautiful scent, use the gorgeous ceramic vessel to keep trinkets inside. Jugs can double up as vases, and mugs make stunning pen holders. The options are endless.

One of the biggest shopping events of the year, Black Friday originated in the USA and is the name for the Friday after Thanksgiving when retailers offer huge discounts across a number of their products.  
Traditionally marking the start of the Christmas shopping season for those in the USA, over the past decade, it has become increasingly popular across the globe and is now a key shopping event in the UK too. And with the increase in popularity has come the trend for Black Friday sales to start much earlier in the month, giving more time for shoppers to bag the best deal. 

This year Black Friday is taking place on Friday 25th November, and will run until the following Monday, also known as ‘Cyber Monday’.  
However, here at Portmeirion our Black Friday Sale will begin on Monday 14th November, and will run for two weeks, helping you to spread the cost and allowing you plenty of time to take advantage of our fabulous offers.
