I have been pulling out all of the trees to start getting our space ready for the upcoming holidays.   And, also to give you guys a bit of inspiration for your own spaces.  I have started adding cozy holiday decor here in the cottage hoping that I can start decorating over at the house soon. Did you see the bedroom?  I shared that space a few days back.   I know when I see people start to decorate, it gets my wheels turning.  I recently found some budget friendly Christmas decor from Amazon.  I wanted to share the links with you and different ways you could use them.  If you noticed, I kept with my woods and whites theme.  So everything will match what I already had.

Christmas Decor from Amazon

I snapped the above photo after I shared all of these items on social media.  So, they aren’t styled perfectly, but I thought it still looked pretty.  

Christmas Stockings

I grabbed these knit stockings to hang on one of our mantels this year.  I will use them for the grandsons. You can get anywhere from 3 – 10 and they are so good for the price.  I grabbed 7.  We have 5 grandsons currently and a granddaughter on the way.  We THINK we may have only one more in the future, so I didn’t want to be one short.  They also come in different colors.  You can hang these down a stairway railing, add them to a peg shelf, or even a large piece of furniture if you don’t have any of the above.

Wooden Tags for Stockings

I knew I needed to personalize all of the stockings so I grabbed these wooden tags that I think will look perfect.  I may use a little stain around the edges to make them a little more distressed.  And, then use a simple calligraphy pen to write their names.  You can use these as gift tags as well.

Wrapping Paper

I used to have a tons of wrapping paper but I think it got ditched in the moves.  It may be in storage, too.  But, I loved the basic details of this brown craft paper and know it will look really pretty under our tree.

Christmas Tree

You can go ahead and call me a hoarder of life-like Christmas trees.  I will admit it.  This one is so dang cute.  It is a little on the pricey side for a 3′ tree but it looks completely real.  The ones that are life-like will never go out of style.  This one would look cute on the porch as well.  And could be left up all winter long.  It comes with a burlap base but I like to tuck them in crocks, bowls, buckets, wooden boxes.  The options are endless.

Wooden Bead Garland

I LOVE this wooden bead garland.  I grabbed it to mix in with winter greens on one of the fireplaces or use it on a tree.  But, I decided that it may even look cute wrapped around the back stairway railing.  I cannot wait to decorate that space. 

Long Needle Pine Garland

Speaking of garland, I grabbed this long needle pine garland for the stairway railing.  I grabbed two but think I will need a few more.  It is life-like and is at a really great price.  This would also look fantastic draped on the mantel, around a window, or around a mirror. I had a garland around our window last year here in the cottage and loved it.

Hanging Rope Bells

I LOVE these hanging rope bells.  I want to add these to our newel posts on the stairway railings, along with the greenery.  These would also look great on a peg or a hook in the kitchen, on a door knob, or on the side of a wreath on the front door.  

Set of Three Large Cow Bells

Do you remember my greenery arrangements that I made last year for the front porch?  I added some large cow bells that I grabbed from Pottery Barn and paid a lot of money for.  Well, they now sell them on Amazon.  So, I grabbed these large bells to compare and they are identical.  Not only will they look great on the porch tucked in greenery, but they look pretty setting on a shelf, hanging on the side of a mantel, in a large wreath, etc.

Stay tuned for where I actually use all of this.  I will for sure share over on social media and here as well.
