The holiday rush dilemma
Every year it’s the same story. December rolls in, and suddenly every retailer is fighting for the last boxes of popular Christmas items. Shelves go empty in days. Customers walk away disappointed when they see “out of stock” signs. Shipping companies get buried under millions of parcels, and half the orders arrive after Christmas Eve. We’ve seen small boutiques lose 30-40% of their December revenue simply because they waited too long to reorder bestsellers.
Benefits of early wholesale planning
When you start planning in autumn or early winter, everything changes. You get first pick of new collections. You lock in stock before everyone else panics. Your shop looks full and inviting while competitors still wait for containers stuck at the port. Most importantly, your customers leave happy and come back next year.
At YEHWANG, we see this pattern every season. Shops that place their main Christmas order before November rarely run out of hot items. Those who wait until December often end up with whatever is left — if anything. Early planning really does make the difference between a calm, profitable December and a stressful one.
Advantages of Shopping Wholesale Early
Cost savings with bulk orders
Ordering several months in advance can often secure better prices, especially for seasonal items like Christmas decorations, though pricing may still vary depending on material costs and market demand. Right now, a Christmas Bow-knot&Heart Polyester Women’s Party Supplies costs €0.93 per unit, but drops to €0.86 when you buy 20+ pieces early. The same happens with Christmas Stripe Ball Polyester Party Supplies — €2.38 becomes €2.21. Those few cents add up fast when you sell thousands of units. Last year, one of our Dutch customers bought 3,000 Christmas items in October at autumn prices. By December, the same pieces had gone up 18% across the industry because of container shortages. He kept his usual retail price and pocketed the difference. That single early order paid his shop rent for two months.
More product variety and availability
Popular items disappear quickly. Last year, we sold out of Christmas Mug Resin Party Supplies (€2.06) in just nine days after Black Friday. Shops that ordered in September still had plenty on their shelves; those who tried to reorder in late November got nothing. YEHWANG currently lists over 100 different Christmas items ready to ship from Europe. Prices start as low as €0.17 for small hanging ornaments and go up to €29.48 for larger statement pieces. Materials range from stainless steel earrings to soft polyester ribbons and sturdy PVC garlands. When you shop early, you can actually choose the exact colors and styles your customers loved last year instead of taking whatever remains.
Smoother logistics and delivery timelines
Nothing kills holiday spirit faster than a tracking number that hasn’t moved in two weeks. Order in peak season from China, and 15–20 business days is normal — sometimes longer if customs gets busy. Order the same items from our Netherlands warehouse, and most parcels typically arrive in 3–7 business days across Europe, depending on location and courier availability. That speed matters when a surprise TikTok trend suddenly makes red velvet bows sell ten times faster than expected.
How YEHWANG Supports Early Buyers
Wide range of Christmas products
Walk through many successful Christmas market stalls in Germany or Christmas pop-ups in London, and you may spot products supplied by YEHWANG. Classic Christmas Garland PVC Party Supplies at €0.80 still sell hundreds of pieces every week. Add a few Christmas red flocking party supplies and suddenly the whole display feels warm and expensive without breaking your budget.
Easy ordering and fast processing
Our B2B website is built for retailers who hate complicated systems. Every product photo is taken in-house; you can download high-resolution images with one click and use them straight on your webshop or Instagram. New customers usually finish registration and place their first test order in under 15 minutes. Orders go out the same day if placed before 14:00 Dutch time. Even in November and December, we keep extra warehouse staff so nothing sits longer than 24 hours.
Reliable stock management system
Nothing is worse than thinking you have 500 pieces left, only to discover the number was wrong. Our system updates stock levels in real time. When a shop in Spain buys 200 Christmas mugs, every other customer sees the new quantity instantly. This simple feature has saved hundreds of our partners from overselling and issuing refunds during the busiest weeks of the year.
Tips for Planning Your 2025 Holiday Inventory Early
Know your target audience’s preferences.
If available, review last year’s sales report. For new stores, consider researching trending items and popular styles in your target market. Look for the items that sold out before December 10th — those are your must-haves for 2025. One of our Belgian customers noticed that anything with red flocking sold twice as fast as plain red items. This year, she doubled her order of Christmas Red Flocking Party Supplies (€1.02) and added matching ribbons. As a Result, her Christmas corner looked coordinated and will sold out again— on her terms.
Set your budget and order timeline now
Write down three numbers: total Christmas budget, the latest date you feel safe receiving stock, and the minimum stock level you want before Christmas. Many shops split their orders — for example, placing the majority in October to secure the best prices, another portion in November, and reserving a small amount for quick restocks closer to the holiday season. If early sales look strong, and keep 10% budget free for quick restocks in December. European warehouse orders may qualify for free shipping depending on order size, making early October orders even more cost-effective.
Monitor shipping deadlines closely
Mark your calendar with carrier cut-off dates now. For example, DHL usually stops guaranteeing pre-Christmas delivery around December 15 in Europe. So, place anything coming directly from China no later than next November if you want it on your shelves by next Christmas.
Conclusion
Starting your 2025 Christmas preparations in autumn or early winter is the single biggest favour you can do for your business — and your sanity. With YEHWANG’s large Christmas collection, clear stock numbers and fast European shipping, you can fill your shop with exactly what customers want this December, keep your costs down, and still have time to enjoy a glass of red wine yourself.
