Christmas Tree & Decor on a Budget

Christmas on a Budget! Hey guys! With buying our first house last month
money has been a big factor in home decor especially when it comes to “fun items” like holiday decor. Our main focus is getting the essentials bought and decorated so the Holidays are not first on our list. However the holiday lover in me really wanted just a little bit of Christmas cheer even if it wasn’t going to be anything extraordinary! I decided to set aside a little bit of money for just an artificial tree (which can be super expensive) and some ornaments for it of course! So with my budget of 150 dollars here is how I did it and all from Target!

Goal: Stay under $150

Where? Target

What? Christmas Tree & Decor

Tree Shopping List:

1. 6ft Faux Tree (Prelit)

2. Tree Skirt

3. Tree Topper

4. Basic Ornaments

5. Ornament Hooks

6. Garland

7. String Lights

So I started by searching through all the holiday sales through most major websites and I finally decided that Target was the best option. They had a large selection of artificial Christmas trees and a ton of sales!

Next up was bugging Thomas to help me decide on what color scheme to go with. Finally we decided on champagne and blush, and next year we will change up the ornament color if we want to spruce it up. ( no pun intended lol )

With that all decided on I built out a cart with just the basics. A tree, a tree skirt, star topper, simple ornaments. ( I’m going to DIY some cute personal ones, stay tuned for that )
