In so many shop windows downtown, there are sale signs offering some pretty big discounts.

Plants, jewellery, fashion, homewares, eyewear, furniture, phones - it’s a shopper's bonanza!

There are many reasons to have a sale, but Roberto at Bonsai Bliss says simply, “We are discontinuing certain lines, so have some really good deals at the moment.”

Artisans and creatives find it harder to provide good specials or sales as there is a lot of personal time and effort that goes into their products. But right now, one of Lismore most talented wood whisperers is letting things go at a good discount. 

The Furniture Wiz, or Lindsy and Heidi, are having one of their pop-up sales. The Wiz says, “Our sales happen randomly, you never know when a bargain is available.

“Right now, we are having one as the Lismore show has just been on, so we know people are out and about.”

All of their floor stock has been reduced, “Our favourite pieces are the resin slab tables (bar, dining and coffee sizes). It is the uniqueness of each of the pieces that we love the most, you never know how they are going to look until they are done.”

With November starting next week, Christmas will soon be upon us. Now is a good time to wander around town to get some inspiration or help fulfil some of Santa's Christmas list.

It’s a great time to help our local business district by shopping locally.

(Millers have big discounts)

Some shops are clearing old stock to make way for new.

(50% and more is offered at a lot of shops right now)

Some shops are relocating and making it easier for the move.

Some shops have suspiciously good quality signs for a temporary sale, but perhaps they have them often...

Whatever the reason, if you are in need of something or want to get a start on Christmas, it is a good time to get into the CBD to see what is on offer.
