I set aside $100 this year to refresh my holiday decor—here's what ended up in my cart.

Most of my holiday decorations are treasured pieces passed down from my grandparents or found at antique stores and thrift shops. However, I always make room for a few new additions each year.

Each year, I stick to a tight budget when selecting new decorations or replacing old, broken ones. This time, I allocated $100, and thanks to the affordable options on Amazon, I managed to add 10 new items to my collection and even came in under budget.

Here’s a list of the 10 items I’m adding to my holiday collection this year, including lights, ornaments, pillow covers, and tabletop decorations. Although I had a $100 budget, I spent just $94 for everything. Prices start at $7, with nothing going over $13.

Joiedomi Outdoor Multi-Colored Christmas Lights

No Christmas decoration list is complete without classic multi-colored lights—especially when they cost under $10. These small-bulb strands are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, whether adorning your Christmas tree or lighting up your porch. Each strand is 21.4 feet long, and you can link up to five strands for a total of over 105 feet.

Dfxsz Nutcracker Christmas Throw Pillow Cover

A must-have item on my list this holiday season, this Nutcracker pillow cover is only $10 and can instantly transform a plain throw pillow into a charming holiday accent. Shoppers rave about how easy it is to zip on and off, the durable canvas material, and how it brings in a subtle yet classic Christmas flair. 'Ordered these for the bedrooms and they are adorable,' said one five-star reviewer. 'Just the right touch for Christmas.'

Ludilo 135-Piece Christmas Window Clings

How cute are these top-selling snowflake window clings? For under $10, you get 135 reusable snowflakes in various sizes. Stick them on windows, doors, tiles, appliances, and more to bring some winter magic indoors. Over 10,000 Amazon shoppers have snapped them up in just the last month, calling them 'so much fun' and saying they're 'an easy way to decorate your home for winter.'

VercanMonth 9-Piece Clear Christmas Ball Ornaments

Finding quality ornaments at an affordable price can be tricky, but this nine-piece set of Christmas ball ornaments is just right. Available in champagne, gold, red, or white, these plastic ornaments won’t break if they fall. The clear balls are decorated with either glitter on the outside or confetti on the inside, sparkling beautifully when illuminated by your tree’s lights.

Ffptbnyx 3-Piece Handmade Scandinavian Santa Gnomes

Holiday gnomes are always a win, especially when they’re handmade and priced under $10. This set features three gnomes dressed in red, green, and black buffalo plaid winter hats. With a weighted base, these Scandinavian gnomes can easily sit on their own on a shelf, table, or fireplace mantel. 'These gnomes are well made, colorful, and add a bit of whimsy to any location they are placed,' said one five-star reviewer. 'Definitely a conversation piece once they're spotted.'

Hobays 6-Pack Battery-Operated Fairy Lights

Each year, I add more fairy lights to my decorations because they’re affordable and can be used throughout the year. While multi-colored lights create a festive atmosphere, tiny white lights bring a cozy vibe to any space, no matter the season. You can use them on a tree, wrap them around garlands, or illuminate vases and jars. They’re even great for spelling out words or names by twisting them into letters and pinning them to a wall.

Dazzle Bright Falling Icicle Outdoor Lights

I usually don’t decorate the outside as much as the inside, but these falling icicle lights have definitely changed my approach. Now just $11 with a sale and on-site coupon, these waterproof plastic lights come in eight colors, with eight lights on each 16.4-foot strand. They create a stunning meteor shower effect, making it seem like the lights are falling from the tree, roof, porch, or wherever you hang them. 'These lights are worth the money and work wonderfully. I’ve gotten so many compliments and continue to receive them,' said one five-star reviewer. 'A great buy with no issues and they look fantastic.'

Ornativity Glitter Star Tree Topper

I tend to switch up my tree topper each year, so I prefer affordable options like this glitter star topper. Elegant yet understated, it comes in six colors—champagne, gold, red, rose gold, silver, and white—and is lightweight and shatterproof. Coated with glitter, it adds a sparkling touch to your tree, shining especially brightly when it catches the sunlight during the day or the glow of your Christmas lights at night.

Scentsicles O Christmas Tree Scented Christmas Ornaments

I have an artificial Christmas tree, but I still love to make my home smell like a real tree. Every year, I hang these Scentsicle Christmas tree ornaments to give my house the fresh scent of a Christmas tree farm. They blend seamlessly with the branches, so they’re practically invisible, but the fragrance is unmistakable. The best part? They cost less than $10 and last the entire season!

iMucci's white wool fur tree skirt adds a touch of elegance to your holiday decor.

Holiday decorating can be quite the task, so I prefer to leave my tree up for as long as possible. This year, I'll be using a white tree skirt that evokes the feeling of fresh snowfall. Shoppers rave about it, describing it as 'elegant and cozy' and highlighting its 'beautiful, soft, and fluffy' texture. For an extra touch, you can pair it with these snowflake ornaments, priced at $7, all while keeping the total under $100.
