Decorating with bows was a huge new trend last Christmas and doesn't seem to be going anywhere in 2024. This set of 24 velvet Christmas tree bows can be tied to the branches of your tree or used to top gifts.
A tree skirt is a great trick for making the base of your Christmas tree feel more dressed. This burlap ruffled-edged skirt will complement a neutral Christmas decor scheme without taking up too much space under the tree.
These honeycomb paper tree decorations have been on my wishlist for a while. Made from durable paper that won't tear when folded, they have glitter edges and a magnet to close them together.
This boho garland feels like something Shea McGee would be a fan of. Measuring 12 feet in length, this can be wrapped around your tree, stairs, or mantle to create a rustic display.
Amazon has an abundance of these vintage characters, but this retro fawn really caught my eye. It has such a nostalgic charm and will be perfect for a mantle or console table vignette.
Festive tablescaping is one of my favorite things about holiday decorating. This set of 4 embroidered napkins features the sentiments "Merry and Bright," "Joy to the World," "’Tis the Season," and "Peace on Earth" and come in pine green, cranberry red, or ivory.
If you can't embrace a little kitsch at Christmas, when can you? These novelty wine glasses feature tiny glass Christmas tree stems and will be the highlight of your cocktail hour this fall.
Not everything needs to be covered in festive motifs, however. This minimalist beige tablecloth with a soft ruffle edge will be the perfect base for layering up vases of faux festive foliage, berry red napkins, and fun glassware.
This set of 4 spiral taper candles in red and white look like candy canes, without being too literal on the theme. Made from high-purity paraffin with clean cotton wicks and eco-friendly dye, these will keep your home free from unpleasant smells.
Sure Amazon has plenty of cheap-looking stockings, but if you dig a little deeper, you'll find loads of hand-crafted versions that have been beaded, crocheted, and embroidered for a really good price like this beautiful stocking with tassels.
I had to include another Christmas tree skirt as this frilly-knitted one feels like such a stand-out piece. It's 36 inches in diameter so it fits a 4ft to 6ft tree, and brings a unique soft touch to your decor.
These Melrose ball ornaments are in this year's hottest hue: burgundy. Veering on a plummy purple tone, these will be lovely paired with neutrals to add a cozy pop of color.
Create a playful Christmas story scene with this set of 4 snow-topped bottle brush trees. I'm looking to get a few boxes and line them up along my mantlepiece for an alternative to a faux foliage garland this year.
Another vintage-inspired piece, this mini Christmas sleigh is actually 10x19 inches meaning it'll create a gorgeous festive vignette by your fireplace, under the tree, or set up on the porch with fairy lights and foliage.
Everyone loves a cute Christmas village display. But these distressed, farmhouse-style rustic tin houses are perfect for a more minimalist take on the retro decor. Pop tiny LED lights beneath them to light up the windows.
While Amazon is yet to launch their dedicated Christmas Shop on site, watch this space for after the Amazon Prime Day. sales as we're predicting that they're going to ramp up the festivities mid-October. For now, it takes a lot of digging to find the very best Amazon Christmas decor under $50 so this really is the best edit to shop for early Christmas picks.
