If you love a crafty bargain, you’ll want to grab a cuppa and spend a few minutes browsing the updated Last Chance Products category.
Stampin’ Up! has added additional retiring products and discounts, and there are some fantastic deals to be found. But remember, Last Chance products are available only while supplies last, so if something catches your eye, don’t wait too long!
What Is the Last Chance Products Category?
The Last Chance Products category is where retiring products from catalogues and online releases go before they disappear forever.
Once a product sells out, it’s gone. No backorders. No restocks. No second chances.
Products are removed from the online store as soon as inventory is depleted, which means the category is constantly changing as items sell out.
Some products are discounted, some aren’t, and discount levels can change depending on available inventory.
Why Does Stampin’ Up! Retire Products So Often?
It’s a question I get asked quite regularly.
Because Stampin’ Up! introduces new products every other month, they also review existing products more frequently. This allows them to keep the product range fresh and exciting while still holding onto customer favourites.
It doesn’t necessarily mean products disappear faster. Rather, Stampin’ Up! can identify which products are popular, continue offering best sellers, and make room for exciting new releases by retiring products that aren’t selling as well.
How Long Do Last Chance Products Stay Available?
That’s the million-dollar question!
The simple answer is: nobody knows.
Products remain available only while current stock lasts. Some items may be available for months, while others can disappear within hours of being added to the category. It’s highly likely that even I write this some kits will be gone by the time you get to read it.
If you’ve been considering a particular product, now is usually the time to make your move.
My Top Picks This Month
There are some fabulous bargains this month, with prices starting at just $4.37 for the Wood Textured Specialty Designer Series Paper.
But my absolute picks this month are the kits.
If you’ve never tried one of Stampin’ Up!’s kits, they’re a fantastic way to craft because everything you need is included in the box.
The Share A Smile Kit and Adventure Awaits Kit have both been reduced to just $12.50. That’s eight handmade cards with coordinating envelopes for less than the price of a takeaway lunch!
If you’re a fellow kit enthusiast like me, there are also several larger kits on sale. The standout bargain has to be the Handmade Designs Kit, reduced from $56 to just $28. It even includes a handy little card organiser.
For scrapbookers and memory keepers, the As You Grow Journal Kit is also included in this month’s sale. I’ve listed all the Last Chance Kits at the bottom of this post with their original retail price so you can check them out.
What else is in the Last Chance Category?
And of course, you’ll also find stamps, dies, punches, patterned papers, ribbons, embossing folders, embellishments and plenty more crafty treasures waiting to be discovered. Check out the Last Chance Category here.
Who knows? You might just find that product you’ve been regretting not ordering the first time around!
Happy bargain hunting!
Until next time… happy creating!
