As the festive season approaches, Sarah Bianchi, CEO of renowned home furnishings retailer Arighi Bianchi, is offering her expert advice on how to find fantastic Christmas gifts and secure the best bargains during the most exciting shopping season of the year.

“It’s shopping season, and there’s a buzz in the air as everyone prepares for Black Friday and the lead-up to Christmas,” said Sarah Bianchi. “With Black Friday upon us and the Arighi Bianchi Sale in full swing, customers can snap up some exceptional deals on high-quality furniture, top designer brands and on-trend home accessories, with up to 70% off in store.

“And this year, we want to encourage our customers to shop smart, shop local, and enjoy the warm, personalised experience that only a family-run business like Arighi Bianchi can offer. We aim to make furnishing a home as affordable as possible so as well as genuine discounts, we offer flexible options like 0% interest free credit on larger ticket items and purchases over £700, payment via Klarna and discounted local delivery.”

How To Save On Christmas Gifts

“This year we opened our new Casa department, which is dedicated to luxury gifts and accessories, and it’s proving a big hit with our customers. There are lots of items with savings within the gifting department and there’s something for every member of the family, including lucky pets too!

Some of my favourite gifts for 2024 are of course our very own Arighi Bianchi candles which are hand-poured right here in Cheshire. My advice for anyone wanting to shop smarter this Christmas is to plan ahead and buy mindfully, focusing on quality not quantity. I feel it’s always much nicer to give one really thoughtful gift that’s going to be truly enjoyed. Buying in the sale is also a great way to get genuine discounts.

Arighi Bianchi’s current sale showcases genuine discounts on top luxury brands, and with over 170 years of history rooted in providing exceptional products and customer service, the store continues to be a must-visit destination for those seeking standout gifts and premium home furnishings.
