1. A 50-pack of ornaments

“To create an easy layered look on your Christmas tree, start with garland or ribbon and then add a base layer of solid colored ornaments before adding your family’s sentimental and collected treasures. I love Target’s 50-count packages of basic ornaments, and I buy a few every year. They come in a variety of color combinations, ranging from sparkly neutrals to neons, they’re shatterproof, and they’re only $15!” — Kate Dreyer, blogger at Kate Decorates

Buy: Wondershop 50 ct 70mm Christmas Ornament Set, $15.00 at Target

2. Jingling bell decor

Buy: White/Gold Bell Swag, $29.95 from Crate & Barrel

3. A chunky knit throw

Buy: Your Lifestyle by Donna Sharp Chunky Knit Throw, $62.24 from Overstock

4. A marble menorah

“As a Jew, I celebrate Hanukkah (the festival of lights!), and as such, I am on the hunt for a beautiful menorah to display on my counter for the eight nights in which I light the candles. The simplicity of this one from West Elm (under $60!) speaks to me! With raw marble and brass, it fits perfectly into my overall decor. — Sarah Jacobson, Instagrammer at The Grand Apt

Buy: Concordville Zinc Row Houses, Starting at $78.00 from Terrain

6. A versatile vase

“As the weather gets colder, I’ve found value in a hurricane vase from CB2 that I’ve been able to style year-round on my coffee table. In the warmer months, I’ll style the vase using dried floral arrangements to create a vibrant centerpiece. In the winter, I’ll swap out my dried plants for a candle I can place in the center to light on cozy nights. I love how versatile it is!” — Breanna Young, Instagrammer at Breanna In Brooklyn

Buy: Coco Smoked Glass Hurricane Large, $24.95 from CB2.

7. Mini Christmas trees

“I love subtle decorations that you can reuse for many holidays to come. I got a big bag of mini Christmas trees with different sizes at Michaels and bust them out every year. You can put them in multiple spots around your home for a little pop of holiday cheer. Add in some fake snow for an extra special touch.” — KC Cibran, Instagrammer at The Casa Verde

Buy: Miniature Green Trees by ArtMinds, $7.49 $5.00 from Michaels

8. A mix of taper and pillar candles

“Holiday decor doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Let the holidays be ‘lit’ with a big assortment of candles on a single surface. Whether that’s in your fireplace, on a dining table, or in my case, on a credenza, I love to vary height and size to create an organic arrangement that isn’t too fussy or overly complicated.” — Brady Tolbert, creative director at Bobby Berk and Instagrammer

Buy: Royal Imports Unscented Taper Candles, $15.99 from Amazon

9. Festive salad plates

“I’m loving this spruce salad plate, and for $7.99 each, you could get a several for under $100, layer them with your basic white plate, and have a beautiful Christmas table setting that doesn’t break the bank. You’ll also save on storage if you don’t have room to store an additional setting of dinnerware by just adding in a couple of holiday specific pieces.” — Nicole Blackmon, Instagrammer at Sweet Domicile

Buy: Pier Place Snowy Spruce Salad Plate, $7.99 from World Market

10. A vibrant garland

“I can’t resist a fun felt ball garland. They are perfect for decorating playrooms and kids’ bedrooms, or combine a few strands with traditional green garland and wrap it around a stair railing for a fun, whimsical pop of color. I own about a dozen strands of this rainbow felt garland from Crate & Kids.” — Kate Dreyer

Buy: Rainbow Felt Ball Garland, $29.00 from Crate & Kids

11. White twinkly lights

I’ve got a serious soft spot for all-white twinkly lights (NO green around these parts — all white or nothing!). Come holiday season, I love to drape them over my kitchen window for a bit of extra sparkle.” — Sarah Jacobson

Buy: 21 FT Bright LIDORE Indoor String Light, $10.99 from Amazon

12. Colorful string lights

“I’ve been in love with these playful, bubble-shaped string lights from CB2 for two holiday seasons now. They’re perfect if you want to inject just a tiny pop of color into a more neutral winter decor scene. I think they look just as sweet wrapped around a TV console as they would draped on a mantel.” — Lowe Saddler

Buy: Mini Pebble Colored Glass String Lights, $39.95 from CB2
