Semi-Annual Sale Deals

The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale is a twice-a-year clearance sale that lasts three weeks to a month.

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 (it ran Dec. 26 - Jan. 17 in 2024 - 25).

The summer Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale runs June 16 to mid-July.

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual sale 2025 dates

The sale runs until July 15 at 5:59 a.m. ET.

Recent start dates for the June Semi-Annual Clearance Sale:

  • Monday, June 16 (early access June 15)

  • Saturday, June 1, 2024 (53 days)

  • Saturday, June 3, 2023 (31 days)

  • Saturday, June 11, 2022 (31 days)

Here are the recent start dates for the December Semi-Annual Sale:

  • Thursday, Dec. 26, 2024 (22 days)

  • Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023 (25 days)

  • Monday, Dec. 26, 2022 (22 days)

  • Sunday, Dec. 26, 2021 (26 days)

Rule of thumb: Aim to save 75% during 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. 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.

Here are some of the items we saw for 75% off during the summer Semi-Annual Sale in 2025:

  • As low as $6.23 for a select few 3-wick candles (including Picnic Petals)

  • As low as $6.73 for plenty of 3-wick candle scents (including Fresh Cut Lilacs, Flowerchild, and Backyard Honeysuckle).

  • As low as $3.98 for single-wick candles (including Orange Pineapple Punch, Blue Raspberry Snow Cone, Island Margarita, and more).

  • PocketBacs for as low as $1.

  • Fragrance mists and body cream as low as $3.99 (in select scents) to $4.23.

  • Body wash as low as $3.73 to $4.23.

  • Hand soaps as low as $3.25.

  • Hand creams as low as $2.23.

The Bath & Body Works coupon stack is the Holy Grail.

Still, here’s how to get on that list:

  1. Head to the "Submit a Request" page at BathandBodyWorks.com.

  2. Select "Mailing Address Request" from the dropdown menu.

  3. 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.

Members usually get early access to the sale

Bath-Body-Works-Semi-Annual-Sale-Summer-2025

For the 2025 summer sale, Bath & Body Works rewards members got into the sale a day before everyone else (June 15, starting at 6 p.m. ET). Plus, during the early access period, members got 2X rewards and a free duck-shaped bag with purchase!

Remember, this early access is online only; you can't shop early in stores. To get your early access, just sign up for a Bath & Body Works rewards account. It's free and gets you benefits like a free gift for every $100 you spend, $10 off your first $30 purchase as a member, and more.

How do you get $10 off $30 at Bath & Body Works?

bath-and-body-works-welcome-email-offer-10-off-30-coupon-kcl

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 (and new sale-exclusive) fragrances and products 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. Bath & Body Works confirmed in its app that it's bringing back these scents for the summer 2025 Semi-Annual Sale:

  • Be Enchanted

  • Cucumber Melon

  • Into The Wild

Plus, for the summer 2025 sale, Bath & Body Works is offering a new Rose Water & Ivy foaming hand soap during the Semi-Annual Sale only.

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 (al. 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.

a woman looking at her bath and body works receipt

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.

And, yes, we confirmed that this works by getting our own price adjustment during the 2025 Semi-Annual Sale (watch our video):

But certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments.

Certain sales aren't eligible for price adjustments, including flash sales, select promotions lasting 24 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.

If you buy online, you can't get a price adjustment in-store, and vice versa.

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 and price adjustment policy handy in case you run into any questions in the store.

Get sale reminders from KCL for every Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale.

Our free KCL app has a Deal Planner feature that lets you opt in to reminders for sales. Just sign up for the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale, and you'll get a push notification when the sale starts.

Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale 2025 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?

Candle Day falls in early December. In 2024, it took place Dec. 6 - 8. 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 sales take 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 semiannual sales are the best of the year.

How long is the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale in 2025?

Expect the summer sale to last roughly one month (June). The winter sale usually runs for three weeks, spanning December and January.
