Home Goods Christmas

I have always been a Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls shopper from way back.  I am always surprised when I talk to someone who has never been in one.  I feel like I always see something I can’t find normally at mine. I know some people don’t like the search, but that’s the part I love.  You never know what is right around the corner. This is not a sponsored post by the way, they have no idea who I am and all opinions are mine, I just love to shop at these stores!

I popped into Home Goods this weekend to see what they had out in the way of Christmas decorations and I was not surprised.  They had a ton of unusual items and I seriously saw something down every aisle, not to mention gifts galore.  I ended up buying a silver wreath and when I got home my husband pulled out a nearly identical wreath I bought last year.  D’oh!  Apparently I really liked it!

Example one, this amazing Advent calendar.  It was about 5 feet tall with wicker baskets for each day.  I do think you could DIY something really similar for the price.  I think it was about $129ish.  I don’t have a use for it, but thought it was a cool décor piece for the season. You can see the aisles upon aisles of Christmas stuff in the background.

This fancy floral garland was beautiful in person.  I don’t think the photo does it justice.  The flowers were made of a fuzzy material and were really lux looking.  I am a little sad I didn’t buy this one now that I look at it again. Again, you probably could DIY this and make the flowers to add to a pre-light garland.  I believe it was $24.99.  Making it yourself would allow you to use your personal décor colors, but I love the gray and silver tones.

This is another piece that was amazing in person.  It was ice covered faux coral and driftwood.  It was super heavy though and I know it wouldn’t have stayed on my front door.  I pretty much live in a wind tunnel, so I have to be careful what I put on the door doesn’t become a weapon!  I love that you could keep this up all winter.  It’s so dreary once the Christmas stuff comes down, so I like a wreath you can keep up for all of winter.

I started seeing driftwood Christmas items a couple years ago, and was sort of over it, but I have to say I am in love with these angel wings.  They were $24.99.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have anywhere to put these or I would have snatched them up for sure!  I may have to see if they still have these when I take my wreath back!

I didn’t take many photos of the gift items since I bought some of them and didn’t want the recipients to see them on the blog.  One I didn’t buy but may go back for are these Jonathan Adler throws.  Actually, there were tons of throws I wanted to buy for gifts.
