During Black Week, which is still in progress, you'll be pelted everywhere with cheap mass-produced goods from China or shop-wares from dusty corners of the warehouse. Everything has to go, even if the discounts were already valid before and will be even bigger at the beginning of 2023, because potential customers have good reasons to hold back. Without compulsion to buy and discount, there is also still next week a pretty figurine set of Wema-Manufaktur, which you can (let) give.
