After the guests have left and Thanksgiving leftovers are packed into the fridge, it’s time to start thinking about Black Friday shopping, and all the great ways you can upgrade your home at a discount! We all want a good deal, but sometimes it can be overwhelming deciding what to buy but also on whether what you’re buying is worth the money even if it’s on sale. 

Don’t worry! I’ve compiled a list of my favorite holiday home decor options that are worth budgeting for this Black Friday. They’ll not only add beautiful style to your home during the holiday season, but are classic enough that you can use them for years to come. 

Thymes Frasier fir candle 

During the holidays I like a candle that looks like a decoration. This Thymes candle has a subtle modern style with a brass base and pine needles. And adding pine scents to your space adds to the Christmas cheer.

The Thymes candle is currently available on Amazon for $24.00

LA JOLIE MUSE 

If you’re looking for a more trendy or modern look, this candle has reeded glass with a deep green color. The La Jolie Muse candle also offers two winter scents: fir and cedar wood or sandalwood and patchouli. These scents pair nicely with a real tree and are not overly fragrant. 

The La Jolie Muse candle is currently available on Amazon for $23.98

Christmas tree tapered candles 

I’ve used these tapered candles for a few years now, and they are just so charming and whimsical. I love burning them or just leaving them as a decoration. These candles come in many colors, too, so you can coordinate them with your Christmas decor. 

The Creative Co-op tapered Christmas tree candles is currently available on Amazon for $35.13

Hand forged candelabra

Somewhere along the way, we stopped using candelabras, but we should bring them back — why not start this Black Friday? Wintertime gets dark, and pairing multiple candles together to light a space makes it cozy and inviting. This hand-forged candelabra feels modern and well-made with antique brass.

The hand-forged candelabra is currently available on Amazon for $48.35

Lenox tree figurine

This Lenox tree figurine has been a classic for all millennials. Our parents put this out every year, but it’s back in trend like everything! You can also find them in different styles, like the holly berries and Santa’s sleigh, and it’s always fun to add a little vintage nostalgia at Christmas time.

The Lenox tree figurine is currently available on Amazon for $71.99

Snowflake lights

Sometimes, it’s nice to be a little extra during the holidays, and these snowflake lights are adorable for a window seat, deck, or garage door. These are a great option if you live in an apartment or condo since these spaces can be hard to decorate for the holidays.

The snowflake lights are currently available on Amazon for $26.39

Faux pine garland

I love to get real garland for the stairs or mantle, but sometimes budgets can be tight — especially if your Black Friday shopping list is long — or you want to avoid the hassle of real garland. So invest in faux garland that looks real. This garland also comes with lights, so it will save you time. 

The pine garland with lights is currently available on Amazon for $149.99

Plaid throw

Plaid is a great pattern to introduce in the winter months, and a woven plaid throw is comfy and warm. Choose a deep color for a more luxurious look and use it as decor on the couch or in a basket.

The G lake plaid throw is currently available on Amazon for $23.99

Faux fur throw

Add a faux fur blanket for a luxurious feel that pairs well with modern, rustic, or nostalgic decor items. This faux fur throw in color fox golden looks like real fur and is super soft and thick, perfect for cold nights.

The Hyde Lane faux fur throw is currently available on Amazon for $49.27

Cardinal Ornament

A feathered cardinal ornament adds something unique to a tree. These birds clip onto the branches and look charming as the lights flicker. In decorating, it’s always good to do something unexpected.

The Christmas cardinals are currently available on Amazon for $17.43

Ceramic dinner plates

A subtle ceramic dinner plate always pairs nicely with the reds, greens, and golds for Christmas decor. Choose pearl white or cappuccino for your place setting — they will look good with a bold tablescape or a more minimal design. 

The AmorArc Ceramic Dinner Plates are currently available on Amazon for $49.95

Lenox dinner plates

Try some vintage Lenox dinner plates if subtle is not your style. These charming ceramics have winter birds, ribbons, and holly’s. It’s always nice to have some vintage pieces to decorate with every year, and believe it or not, you can pair these plates with modern decor. They can be spendy, so take advantage of the discounted price on Black Friday.

The Lenox winter greetings dinner plates are currently available for $123.80 on Amazon

Holiday drink guide

Celebrating with holiday spirits always makes for a great treat for guests as they arrive. Try some new cocktails this year with 100 different cocktails in this guide. Or, maybe just treat yourself to some upscale cocktails as you shop from the couch on Black Friday!

Holiday Cocktails: Over 100 Simple Cocktails in currently available for $15.96 on Amazon

Striped Napkins

Cotton napkins are a nice touch for guests. Choose white napkins if you want something easy to clean, but I love invoking a Christmas feel with a white and red stripe. It feels like candy canes without being too literal.

PurpleEssences cotton napkins are currently available on Amazon for $19.99

Brass reindeer

Place some brass reindeer on your bookshelves, dining table, and entryway for a charming winter vibe. Heavy figurines feel high quality are always a nice touch when decorating. You can put them almost anywhere with a candle and garland, too.

The Brass Deer Statue is currently available on Amazon for $14.99

Wood carved bird

Use wood carvings to pair with brass winter animals. Again, these can work on a fireplace, dining table, or side table. In general, it’s great to have genuine wood decor items instead of plastic ones.

The handmade wood cardinal is currently available on Amazon for $12.30

Reeded cocktail glasses

Reeded glasses are trendy right now, and they have a little bit of a vintage feel too. They look and feel interesting; sometimes, having a festive glass for your Christmas cocktails is nice.

The Vintage Wine Goblets are available on Amazon for $12.79

Cocktail Set

Grab a cocktail set with a stand to get the holiday bar ready, and they will make some nice decor on the bar when paired with cocktail glasses. Choose brass or copper to create a great layered look among all the other decorations.

The Highball and chaser set is currently available on Amazon for $63.99

Stocking engravings

Add some personalization to your stockings with engraved name tags. It’s a curated, festive addition that looks more luxurious than a large woven name on each stocking. They are made of wood, and you can choose from many different fonts.

The engraved stocking name tags are available on Amazon for $8.99

Window candles

In New England, we always display candles in the window, electric, of course, but there’s something magical about seeing all the colonial homes with candles in every window. I prefer the plug-ins because I’ve used the wireless candles, and they just become a hassle. 

These set of four electric window candles are currently available on Amazon for $26.98

Kraft Paper

Go for brown craft paper for a minimalist Christmas theme. It simplifies wrapping; you can add some velvet or silk ribbons to make it nostalgic and beautiful. 

Brown Kraft paper currently available on Amazon for $20.79

Wrapping paper 

If you want to coordinate your wrapping paper but want to avoid scouring the picked-over paper at the store, buy some sets that have been selected for you. These wrapping papers look vintage and modern at the same time and will look gorgeous under the tree.

The PlandRichW Christmas Wrapping Paper is currently available on Amazon for $6.89

Christmas bells

Christmas bells are an item I always hang on my front door, and sound is something often missing in design and decor, but Christmas bells are a sound we all remember. These bells can be hung on the door, mantel, or railing.

The Styleonme Decorative Bells are currently available on Amazon for $25.89
