8 Under-$30 Amazon Finds You Need to Decorate & Stay Organized for the Holidays
‘Tis the season for decking your halls in holiday decor, but what to do when you need some help displaying and storing all of your festive stuff? Fret not, my merry friends. Amazon is brimming with affordable and foolproof items that’ll make decorating your home for the holidays a breeze. From gift wrap organizers to string light clips, here are eight products on Amazon for under $30 that you need when dressing up your home this season.
1. A smart Wi-Fi switch, $19.99
Avoid those annoying “Did I turn the tree off?” moments by investing in a smart light switch to plug your holiday lights into. This one from Amazon allows you to control your electronics straight from your smart phone (or with your voice via Alexa), and will only set you back 20 bucks.
2. Command outdoor light clips, $7.29 for 20
We’ve all been there. After hours of hanging up string lights you step back and realize they are sagging in some places and straight in others. Thankfully, Command created clear (and damage-free) outdoor light clips, so you can install your lights in style—no tools necessary.
3. Light hanger pole, $27.99
Love the look of Christmas lights but not sure they’re worth all the hassle? This clever light pole adapter easily attaches to any standard threaded pole—such as painter and pool poles—to help you install your exterior string lights quickly (and like a pro).
4. Gift wrap organizer, $4.35
Searching for an inexpensive way to store all of your holiday wrapping paper when you’re done using it? This clear zippered organizer has handles and holds up to 25 rolls of wrapping paper at once—for less than $5.
5. Ornament storage box, $16.49
Let’s face it: For as fun as collecting holiday tree ornaments can be, finding a safe place to store them the rest of the year can be a chore. Luckily, Amazon offers several different sizes and styles of ornament storage boxes, like this colorful one with handles than can secure 64 ornaments at a time.
6. Light storage reels, $20.20
The only thing better than a good set of light storage reels are ones that come with a cute bag to put them in. This $20 kit includes three spools (with ladder clamps, no less) for foolproof light installation, and a zippered bag for tangle-free storage when they come down.
7. Command wreath hook, $7.59
Look, we love a decked-out holiday wreath on the front door as much as the next person, but sometimes displaying them can be tricky. Lucky for us, Command makes a surprisingly sleek metal wreath hanging hook for under $8 that can be reused and won’t leave any damage behind.
8. Wreath storage bag, $8.99
Unfortunately, hanging up your holiday wreath is only half the battle; finding ways to store them can get complicated, too. Good thing Amazon has this convenient round wreath storage bag with handles that you can score for under 10 buckaroos.
