Before making your purchase

Consider a theme or color scheme for your decor. It can be easier to stay on budget when you have a plan in place. You can even use items from last year and add to them. Also, think about placement. Simply putting a decorative item in a new location could make all the difference when decorating.

DIY trending decorations

When you're on a budget, instead of buying what's currently in, consider using what you already have to achieve a similar look. Finding items at your local thrift store or on sites like eBay is a great way to start. Consider a neutral Christmas theme, such as brown and green, which can complement other colors like red. Avoid purchasing items that can't be repurposed or redone.

Example: A white Reindeer can change into any color you choose for the following year. 

If you do purchase an item from a thrift store, please remember to clean the item first. Even if your purchase looks squeaky clean, we will recommend cleaning it.


Shop Christmas decor on Amazon

Did you know you can find a large outdoor inflatable for under $100 on Amazon? When you shop online, you have more options to choose from, decreasing the possibility of your neighbor having the same item as you. We have found nativity scenes, reindeer, Santa Claus, animals, and more online. Don't forget the beautiful lights that offer more coverage for your home and take less time.


Lights: String lights, Rope lights, Icicles

Inflatables: Nativity Scene, Santa Claus, Reindeer, Other Animals

Accent pieces: Doormats, Reindeer, Christmas trees, Orinimats, Snowmans, Gift Boxes, Pathway Marker Stakes, Signage


When it's time to decorate

For some, decorating may seem like work, while for others, it is something to look forward to. Remember the holiday movies where the family is playing music and baking cookies? If that's something you want to do, go for it! Enjoy this magical moment!


Have a Merry Christmas!
