Trending with Signature Mike: Shopping for Christmas decor

Michael Siewert

Date: December 29, 2024

Yes, it may seem that the title made you think this was a month late, but now is the time to purchase NEXT year’s holiday decor. You will find great bargains as the stores will want to sell all that they can before the seasonal goods are put away.

Considering so many of us are looking at new fangled ways to create Christmas decorations and gifts, the items you run out and purchase last minute can really add up. We watch a tik-tok video on making a wreath that requires special ribbons and ornaments. Maybe you would like a larger artificial tree but you couldn’t afford it this year. Wrapping paper and gift tags can get expensive. Shop now and save a lot later! 

A dining room table can be a great place to sit a variety of vessels that hold glass ornaments. Have you priced quality glass ornaments? Go to an upscale decor store. They almost always have quality ornaments that they will all but give away!

A dimly lit dining table with candles is always a lovely display to impress your guests. Have you priced decorative candles lately? 

Outdoor decorations have become very popular. From wreaths at every window to a blow up Santa or Snowman, you can find great savings now! Those wreaths can add up especially when you need a dozen of them!

Always think outside the box when you shop at home decor stores. Even the Dollar stores have Holiday decor that you can rethink how to use. Some ornaments can be a great gift to someone next year. Maybe wrap it on their package. Think personal. 

Think about all of the things that you had to run out and purchase before this Holiday Season and didn’t even think about the cost, even though you were shocked when you looked at the receipt later. Go shopping now and pack them away for next year!
