5 Reasons You Should Buy Christmas Gifts In Bulk

November 12, 2024 3 min read

Hate Christmas gift shopping?

Or are you a unicorn who loves the process and shops all year long?!

Whichever Santa Claus camp you fall into, here's 5 reasons to buy Christmas gifts in bulk.

1. Save money
The biggest single reason to purchase Christmas gifts in bulk is to save money.

A number of retailers including Brighton House Decor, will give you volume discounts ranging from 10%-50% off if you buy several or more of one item.

And if your retailer doesn't offer you volume discounts from buying two, three, four or more of the same product, ask! You'll never know if you don't ask the question.

Perhaps they might give you a discount by buying more, however it's even more likely you'll reach their free shipping threshold, which of course, saves you money.

2. Simplify gift-giving
Buying in bulk is a clever way to tackle gift-giving.

You may have, for example, your sister, a favourite work colleague and a good friend - none of whom know each other nor would visit each other's homes which means you can safely give them all the same gift item - who all love to decorate in Hamptons style.

So it would make financial sense to buy 3 sets of say, coral bookends, or ginger jar print cushion covers. You save yourself money getting a volume discount on something they’d like, and save time as well, being ready with a thoughtful gift for Christmas or their birthday. Buying something non-perishable means you can put it away for the next gift occasion.


2. Save time
Buying items in bulk saves you time because you can tick an item off your to-do list by purchasing multiples of it. 

Every single year you're likely to celebrate at least one anniversary, birthday, Christmas, engagement, farewell, graduation. housewarming, Kris Kringle or wedding, not to mention of course all the times you need to thank people, whether they're friends and family, or colleagues and clients all over Australia. By buying gifts in bulk, you have something ready to give. Without the stress.

4. Avoid disappointment
Ever seen something you love, and you took too long to decide - and by the time you'd made your mind up to buy it, it was sold out? Buying items in bulk means you can relax: you've got the products organised.

And of course, there are some families where you might want to buy at least two of the same item so that both kids get the same item and don't miss out. (And no-one wants kids fighting over something if they can avoid it.)

And consider this: with the number of retailers going out of business, you might not be able to buy a second, third or fourth of the product you want if you don't buy it all at the same time.

5. Save the environment
Imagine you're decorating for Christmas and need some festive lights. Then you realise you haven't ordered quite enough so you place a second order, the next day. And then you remember you saw some cool home decor on the same website and go back to place another order.

This would result in three different deliveries which adds a lot more carbon monoxide to the air, not to mention countless more mileage, not to mention the potential frustration of missing the courier up to three times. By buying the same item in bulk, you have a better chance of it being delivered on the same day by one courier, potentially even in the same package.

And on that note, look for retailers in your own city, especially ones like Brighton House Decor, who let you arrange free pickup from their premises. Not only will you obtain your order faster, you'll be kinder to the environment.
