Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is a twice-a-year, multi-week clearance sale.
The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is a massive clearance event where you can find some of the best deals of the year — beating their most high-profile sales on some products.
The sale happens twice a year (in early June and after Christmas), and although they’re both massive clearance events, they’re each a little bit different. The June sale is nearly a month long, with lots of markdowns on winter and spring products. By contrast, the December sale is typically about three weeks long and focuses on fall and holiday clearance.
The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is running Dec. 26, 2024 through January 2025.
It's confirmed! Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale kicks off Dec. 26, 2024, and will run for about three weeks.
What to Expect From the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale
The goal here is to save at least 75% on each item you purchase. You’ll find the best deals on seasonal scents that are on their way out the door. For example, during the June sale, expect to see some Easter scents and Wallflower plug-ins, possibly even some stragglers from the Christmas season. Because Bath & Body Works doesn't typically put their merchandise on clearance the rest of the year, the Semi-Annual Sale is the primary way they manage their inventory.

Secrets to Shopping the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale
We’d be remiss if we didn’t share some of our favorite Bath & Body Works hacks that are especially useful during this particular sale.
The Bath & Body Works coupon stack is the Holy Grail.
Join Bath & Body Works Rewards or sign up for coupons in the mail. Yes, getting on the mailed B&BW coupon list can be a challenge.

Still, here’s how to get on that list:
Head to the "Submit a Request" page at BathandBodyWorks.com.
Select "Mailing Address Request" from the dropdown menu.
Enter the requested information and hit "Submit."
When you receive your paper coupons (fingers crossed), remember our predicted Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale dates and compare these to your valid coupon dates. Your ultimate goal is to save the coupon, if possible, to use on top of those Semi-Annual prices.
How do you get $10 off $30 at Bath & Body Works?
When you first sign up for Bath & Body Works Rewards, you'll receive a coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase. The coupon code is valid in stores and online.
Because this coupon expires 30 days from sign-up, don't take the steps to get this coupon until the week before the next anticipated Semi-Annual Sale. If you already have an account, sign up your partner or your mom, or anyone else willing to share that code with you once they receive it.
Look for limited-time retired fragrances during the Semi-Annual Sale.
During the Semi-Annual Sales Bath & Body Works always brings back a few nostalgic scents for the duration of the event. In December 2024, you'll find the following:
Cucumber Melon
Pearberry
Malibu Heat
Coconut Lime Verbena
In The Sun.
The best deals online are almost always in the final two days of the sale.
In all the sales we've studied, one of the most consistent findings is the deals always get better online in the last one to two days of the sale. Hopefully by the time the prices drop, our $10 coupons will still be valid for an even better deal.
Shop the sale early, then go back for a price adjustment.
Bath & Body Works updated their price adjustment and return policies back in Sept. 2022. Their policy now states that both online and in-store purchases are eligible for a one-time price adjustment within 14 days of the original purchase. That means you can shop the week before the Semi-Annual Sale and return with your receipt to receive the difference credited back to your original form of payment.
Here are the important catches to the price adjustment policy:
Certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments, including flash sales, select promotions lasting 48 hours or less, Candle Day, and email offers. So you'll have to make a return with your receipt and then repurchase the item at the new cheaper price.
BathandBodyWorks.com is considered separate from your local store. Because of this, price adjustments don't work across party lines. Online purchases can receive an online price adjustment if you submit a contact form. In-store price adjustments require an original receipt.
KCL TIP: Keep the official Bath & Body Works return policy handy in case you run into any questions in the store.

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale 2024 FAQs
Is there Bath & Body Works clearance?
Technically, there's not a Bath & Body Works clearance sale. But if you're shopping the Semi-Annual Sale online, you could think of the last two days of the sale as a clearance of sorts. This is the retailer's last push to get everything off the shelves. If you're shopping in store, you'll see discounts get deeper, but you'll also see inventory disappear, which is why I recommend you don't wait to shop in store.
What day is the big candle sale at Bath & Body Works?
In 2023, Bath & Body Works Candle Day sale was Dec. 1 – 3. The sale always begins eight days after Thanksgiving, on a Friday.
How many times a year does Bath & Body Works have sales?
In addition to June and late December when Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual sale takes place, watch for Candle Day at the start of December and Body Care Day about a week after that. Those are the biggies. You'll also find Member Appreciation sales in May and August. Truly though, the two semi-annual sales are the best of the year.
