I'm a Former Lululemon Employee-These Are the 15 Best Finds From Its Secret Year-End Sale, Starting at $29

"I recently spent time in Japan, a country where buying yourself a gift isn't taboo. It's customary and called gohōbi, which roughly translates to "reward." So, if you didn't get what you asked for this December, or you simply want to pat yourself on the back for making it through 2025, you're in luck: Lululemon is hosting an under-the-radar Year-End Sale, and it's currently overflowing with great gohōbi options, especially if you're looking for travel-friendly pieces to keep you cozy this winter."

"How do I know? Before my current career as a Montana-based travel writer, I worked at Lululemon, where I got to be among the first people to learn about new products and teach shoppers about their features. While I no longer enjoy a generous employee discount or get paid commission, I'll still gladly sing Lululemon's praises from the top of Mount Fuji."

Lululemon is hosting an under-the-radar Year-End Sale and a "We Made Too Much" section filled with travel-friendly, cozy pieces suitable for winter. The cultural concept of gohōbi encourages buying oneself a reward, making the sale a timely opportunity to treat oneself after a busy year. The Softstreme High-rise Straight-leg Pant pairs peach-fuzz Softstreme fabric with a tailored silhouette, flat front and pleated back, functioning as comfortable sweats or trousers and earning compliments for its beautiful drape. The Micro Cable Merino Wool Hooded Cardigan offers a rare hooded cable knit with a kissing front placket that combines warmth, unique styling and casual elegance.
