The handmade decorations can sometimes be even nicer than the ones offered by various stores and markets. I will definitely add some handmade decorations to the ones I have collected over the last years.

Also, we check or sales after Halloween, because many stores put out old inventory before the “Christmas season” officially arrives.

And check out sales flyers… Home Depot already has decorations reduced by 30% starting today (Dec.6).

If your parents are big on decorating, ask them for older things they don’t use anymore. I have enough extra ornaments saved to do 2 more trees, which my sons are welcome to take.

I love the idea of giving Christmas ornaments for wedding gifts. I will definitely make use of that one~

One more suggestion is that when you have kids of your own, buy each of them an ornament as a stocking stuffer each year. Make it something in line with their current interests. By the time they leave home they’ll have a box full of ornaments & it will reflect their history. I’ve done this for my sons and they love it!

You still get brand new decorations, bu they are 50% off (or sometimes up to 90% off!). We’ve done this the past three years and pretty much all our decorations were purchased for at least 50% off.

I love buying just a few unique pieces each year and slowly building a collection. As well the dollar store is great to go to before or after Christmas for all of your decorating and gift wrapping stuff.

I only purchase Christmas decorations when they are off-season or right after the holiday’s when the stores need to get rid of the inventory.
