With Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Days all vying for your attention, the biggest sale of them all is officially served via AliExpress. In the name of 11.11 (aka Singles Day), the global online retailer is offering mega discounts off its already (very) affordable backlog of products. We're talking bang-on-trend fashion pieces, oodles of wellness and trending buys all primed for self-gifting.
A national survey reveals a quarter of people in the UK never treat themselves to a gift, with over one in ten (11%) saying it's down to guilt about spending money on themselves.
With the mammoth AliExpress sale, there's never been a better excuse to be a little self-indulgent. Plus, the timing means you can cross off plenty of names from your Christmas list without breaking the bank.
Celeb mum-of-two, Chelsee Healey has partnered with AliExpress to spread the important message of treating yo' self this festive season and beyond.
She says of the campaign, "Being a mum of two and balancing my day job of acting, alongside ice skating training for Dancing On Ice, means I rarely find time to treat myself. With Christmas around the corner, I know I’ll be spoiling my family and friends with gifts galore, so I’ve decided that November is going to be all about treating myself! The 11.11 deals on AliExpress are amazing so I’m going treat myself to a couple of things, whilst also starting my Christmas holiday shopping early.”
As well as internet-breaking discounts and celeb endorsements, there are also millions of surprises and prizes to be won. Including signed merchandise and tour tickets from British singer-songwriter Sam Tompkins, HelloFresh, TrainPal and more up for grabs, with AliExpress’s 'Shake & Win' interactive game available in all. Phwoar.
