2. An adorable set of reindeer tealight holders because if we only get a month out of the year to have our home reflect some Christmas spirit, the little details should count, too! I guess Rudolph will no longer be the only reindeer lighting the way for everyone.
Promising review: "So. Freaking. Adorable. I got them for my mom as an early Christmas present. Everyone who came over to our house during the Christmas season gushed over these cuties. And I had to send the link for their Amazon page to at least two people." —Haley Livingston

Promising review: "We do not use our fireplace and were tired of the bare look. Decided to give the fireplace area a little glam and this piece looks amazing in it.

Promising review: "Very happy with this purchase, especially for the price. We bought two sets to hang on the ceiling in our family room during the winter when it gets dark so early. Fantastic! We used the Command small clear decorating clips to hang them. Worked like a charm! Originally intended just for the holidays, but it brightens up the room so well that we have left them up. Nightly use for several hours for several months. Couldn't be happier!" —Anon

Promising review: "I loved how small the snowflakes were — I was expecting them to be bigger snowflakes and look a little more unrealistic, but these are perfect! I also love how they are battery-operated so I can put them outside, we don't have outdoor outlets where I live. Thanks so much for my amazing product!! :)" —Courtney

Promising review: "This garland is gorgeous. The berries and pinecones and lights just look so nice together. The wire running through it is stiff and doesn't lose its shape. It also has connectors on both ends. That being said, the glitter that falls off of this garland WOOOOOOOW! If you mind glitter being everywhere, this probably isn't the garland for you. If you're like me and don't mind the glitter, you won't be sorry that you bought this. It's absolutely beautiful!" —Rachel

Promising review: "I bought this for my mother who is a nursing home resident. The tree is battery-operated, so we didn't have to worry about having it approved by hospital staff. The timer is easy to set and she doesn't have to worry about turning it on and off every day. After taking it out of the box there was only a little adjusting of the branches. You can also hang small, lightweight ornaments on it for trim. Everyone who comes into her room admires it." —gma J

It plays the "Linus & Lucy" Peanuts theme (and includes two AAA batteries). It's also an officially licensed Peanuts item!
Promising review: "'It's Christmas, Charlie Brown!' Just looking at this tree brings a smile. Simple, elegant in its humility. It just brings a bit of nostalgia remembering all past Christmases watching Charlie Brown and the gang on television kick off the Christmas season in our house.

Promising reviews: "This is a really beautiful globe. It is lightweight and has a handle and is well-made. You can use it with the music on or off. I liked that it was a flattened globe so you could put it on a narrow shelf if needed. Would also make a really nice gift." —Leah Mccartt
"This snow globe is gorgeous. The way the glitter hits the light is so beautiful and something photo or video doesn’t do justice. I have bought several since and would highly recommend this product." —Grant LaGasse
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in five holiday styles).

The branches are flexible so you can arrange them to your liking, and they come with a UL-certificated and waterproof adapter.
Promising review: "These trees are a BARGAIN for the money! They’re neatly packaged and go together in about a minute. Shaping the branches took maybe five minutes. I have an 8’ in the primary bedroom, another 8’ for my library, and the set (8’, 6’, and 4’) for the living room. I’m going to purchase another 8’ for my front porch, and another set of three for my lanai. They may be plastic, but they look beautiful, and they feel sturdy. Even though I also do a traditional tree, I love that these birches look gorgeous with very few decorations! They’re festive for really any season, so I’m likely going to just un-decorate and leave-up the one in my primary bedroom. If you’re on the fence about these, I’d say just do it! You won’t regret it!" —Thom Lundy
Get one eight-foot tree from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in sets of two or three and in a variety of sizes).

Promising review: "Yankee Candles always rock. This purchase was a curiosity purchase, and this candle did not disappoint. Non-lit, and it's strong and sweet, and when you light it, there's a light fragrance that isn't too overwhelming but not bland. Just enough to get you hungry. It lights for awhile; I've had it for months, and it's pretty good. If you like sweet candles, get this!!" —Danster
Get it from Amazon for $16.88+ (available in two sizes and eight holiday-inspired scents).
29. A Lionel North Pole Central train set — I mean, just look at how charming it is! And don't worry, unlike the train in The Polar Express, this one will stay on its track and keep choo-choo-chooing around your Christmas tree year after year.
It comes with a battery-powered remote and tracks that can be shaped into a circle, oval, or rectangle. Don't forget the AAA batteries for the remote and C cell batteries for the train itself!
Promising review: "This is a beautiful decorative Christmas train set for around the tree or any other festive plans you may have for it. I was very skeptical at first reading about the plastic track and battery powered wireless operation. But the track comes in very short sections and is very sturdy. Connects together very tightly and strong. The operation was flawless, from the wireless controller to the train rolling along the track without any issues at all. Again, as part of holiday decorations, for under $100 it's a home run. This is perfect for the season and the wallet. No regrets. Very happy with this purchase." —Scotty Blonde

Promising review: "It's a very cute little soap dispenser and arrived very quickly, well-packaged, and it is absolutely adorable.
