My Favorite Early Christmas Decor Finds!

November 01, 2024

Early Christmas decor finds for this holiday season!


I don't usually buy a whole lot of new Christmas decor each year, but I found some cute items this year that really caught my eye! 

Many of you aren't even considering holiday decor just yet, and I totally appreciate that. :) It's crazy how early the stuff comes out in stores now, but it's even crazier how fast it sells out! 

These finds were different than most of the Christmas items I've seen out and about this year, and nearly everything was on sale when I purchased!

I'm sharing a few simple ways to display these holiday decorations as well. 

The first decor items I found were these really cute accordion (they are also calling them honeycomb) trees in cream and green:

I thought they were so unique, but after I purchased them I started seeing this style ALL over the place. It's definitely the trend this year. I'm trendy on time for once! 😂

The trees assemble in seconds -- they connect together with magnets. They would be great in multiples along a shelf or console table. Thread some fairy lights throughout and you have a beautiful vignette in just a few minutes. 

The cream trees have more of a traditional look, and the green ones are softer and more rounded. There are also skinnier red versions that I didn't see in my local Walmart. 

Bonus: they fold up flat to store away for next year. 

**I discovered these at Hobby Lobby as well! They sell them in sets of five in black, brown, cream and green.**

I found a couple really cute entertaining/serving pieces recently as well. This Christmas platter from Michael's had the sweetest little details:

Isn't the tree peeking through the window so cute? This was only $10 on sale -- I can't decide if I'll display it or use it. 

These Santa glasses from Kirkland's were another favorite:

They'll be fun for holiday cocktails, and would make a really great gift as well! I was impressed by the quality -- they are plenty thick and don't feel like they'll break if you look at them wrong. 

These layered gold star ornaments caught my eye:

I like that I can use them as pretty bowl filler or hanging from garland or the tree:

We'll have to see where I end up using them. :) 

Speaking of garland, I grabbed one more of this super soft greenery with pinecones

I used one in our basement last year and loved it. It's so lightweight, but super fluffy. 

It would also look great layered on a tray or down the middle of a table with these cute wooden bells I picked up:

I had a larger version already, so the three will look great nestled together. They actually jingle too! :) 

This metal Merry Christmas garland will be beautiful swagged on our Christmas mantel:

The letters are hanging from a thin velvet ribbon, and are easy to move around. It has a patina to it, so if you don't like an older, vintage look, you may not like this one. 

It could easily be spray painted or rub and buffed

I use faux garland and stems ALL over our house during the holidays -- they are so versatile! These spruce stems are different from any I've seen before. They are SO soft and hang so beautifully:

The stems are really full and only $5 each. They are SO cute in the Santa boots I picked up at Kirklands! How fun are those? 

You can find my favorite Norfolk pine stems online for a steal now (the price has dropped dramatically over the years). When I saw these lighted versions at World Market, I had to give them a try:

These are battery-operated and looong, about 42 inches. So pretty! 

Battery-operated lights like these are great on a tray or centerpiece where you can't run plugged lights. 

Those are the all items I picked up this year! Nothing too crazy, but I really love every single one. 

When do you decorate for Christmas? I plan to do start earlier than ever this year, and yes, we host Thanksgiving! We just eat our turkey and mashed potatoes by the light of the tree. ;) 

I've learned the earlier I can finish up the decorating, the more I relax and enjoy the season. I LOVE the process, but by the time December hits I want to lighten my load as much as possible! 

But first, I need to get my office makeover finished up! I'll be back with progress on that next week.

  2. Where did you get the garland from? I know you have a link but my laptop blocks the site. I love all of this decor!
