With all of the sales that pop up during the holidays, it’s easy to become a victim of buyer’s remorse. So to avoid the situation altogether, we’ve rounded up a list of gifts you shouldn’t<\/em> buy during the holidays. Trust us, you’re not getting as big of a deal as you think you are.<\/p>\n

Broadway tickets<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re planning on ringing in the new year in New York, don’t purchase your Broadway tickets just yet. Broadway Week runs from January 16 to February 4, and you can score two tickets for the price of one if you check back around January 5.<\/p>\n

Diamonds<\/strong>
\nAlthough a winter wonderland would make an excellent backdrop for your proposal, wait to buy your diamonds until after Valentine\u2019s Day — you can save<\/a> 15 to 25 percent!<\/p>\n

Luggage<\/strong>
\nStart shopping for extra bags when the snow starts to thaw. You’ll find discounts between 20 to even 70 percent off during March, which is also when airlines drop their prices significantly.<\/p>\n

Refrigerators<\/strong>
\nMost appliances are majorly discounted on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but if you\u2019re in the market for a new fridge, hold out until May if you can. Since new models come out in May, all of last year\u2019s models will be heavily marked down.<\/p>\n

Gym memberships and equipment<\/strong>
\nAs we head into a new year, gym memberships become more popular, which doesn’t leave much room for discounts. But come mid-year, people become less motivated, and thus, gyms tend to drop their prices to attract more people (same goes for gym equipment!).<\/p>\n

Jeans<\/strong>
\nIf you time it correctly and hit the mall between the back-to-school rush and holiday season, you can get seriously discounted denim. Retail stores almost always report that jeans are one of the most common leftover and surplus items they have.<\/p>\n

Linen<\/strong>
\nPerhaps you\u2019ve heard of the \u201cwhite sale\u201d that happens every year in January — it\u2019s the lesser-known cousin to Black Friday, but it boasts some of the same (if not better) deals on many items — one of which is quality bedding.<\/p>\n

Holiday d\u00e9cor
\n<\/strong>Unless you’re an absolute holiday fanatic, resist buying new decorations before Christmas, and make do with what you already have. If you wait until January, you can snatch up that inflatable front-lawn globe for 90 percent off!<\/p>\n

Perfume<\/strong>
\nPerfume is, of course, a very popular gift for all the wonderful ladies in your life during the holidays. So prices tend to peak around Christmas and Valentine\u2019s Day. If you\u2019re looking for a scent for yourself, wait until late February, early March because prices drop by as much as 50 percent. You\u2019ll find the best sales on websites dedicated solely to perfume.<\/p>\n
