When Is the Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Sale?

If the sight of a rubber ducky doesn’t immediately activate your deal-hunting reflex, you need to get to know the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale. This twice-a-year event is the closest thing the scent emporium comes to a clearance sale, so be prepared to save up to 75% off select body lotions, candles and even gift sets. Use this savings bonanza to stock up on your faves or to try out new scents. Here’s what you need to know to score the sweetest deals, plus extra ways to save even more.

When Does the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale Start?

There are two Semi-Annual Sales every year: The winter sale, which Bath & Body Works says will start really, really soon after Christmas this year (typically the start date is Dec. 26), and the summer sale. The 2023 summer sale started on June 3 and ran until July 3.

When Does the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale End?

The sale typically lasts about four weeks, so this year’s summer sale ran through July 3, and the winter event goes through January.

Top Picks From the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale

With new deals and specials offered in-store and online every day, it’s best to snatch up your favorites when you see them. Then combine your coupons with sale prices for even deeper discounts. Here are a few faves to watch for:

Candles

The popular 3-wick candles will go fast if they’re priced like previous sales at 50% off (and even 75% off for a few scents). You can also snatch up select single-wick candles for half-price, too.

Body Lotion

Expect deep discounts on remainders and select body lotion scents, marked down from $13.50 to $5 at the last sale.

Shower Gel

Prepare to stock up and enjoy some long, luxurious showers. You could score a full-size shower gel for $5 that was regularly priced at $15.50.

Hand Soap

Clean up with select hand soaps, which went on sale during last year’s sale for 50% off and even 75% for a few scents. The foamy goodness went for $3 a bottle at last year’s sale, but you could also find a few remainder scents for as low as $1.62.

Gift Sets

Whatever gift sets didn’t sell out over the holidays gets discounted at 50% to 75% off. If you see one in a scent you like, snatch it up, as the sets go fast.

Why We Love the Bath & Body Works After Christmas Sale

The Semi-Annual Sale is your best chance to score sweet deals on gift sets that you can stock up on for birthdays and even next Christmas. But you’ll need to stay on your sweetly-moisturized toes because new products are added every day of the sale, and once an item is sold out, it’s gone for good. If you have specific must-have products, check out this Bath & Body Works sales calendar for events like Candle Day and Body Care Day sales.
