Promising review: "I loved how small the snowflakes were â I was expecting them to be bigger snowflakes and look a little more unrealistic, but these are perfect!

FYIÂ â the lights are glued to the cactus so they can't be removed!
Promising review: "This little ceramic succulent cactus is great. It appealed to me because I can display it all year and because I have trouble growing real succulent plants.

11. Or (!) a set of nine flameless candles that *look* like the real deal but won't pose a fire risk if you fall asleep with them on. Arrange them on your mantel or tabletop to complete your holiday display.
This set includes two 4-inch candles, two 5-inch candles, two 6-inch candles, one 7-inch candle, one 8-inch candle, one 9-inch candle, and two remotes. Batteries are not included, so if you need to stock up you can grab 'em here!
Promising review:Â "I was looking for flameless candles to put around my apartment to give it some warmth and a nice atmosphere. I tried the ones that have the fake 'wick' that moves back and forth, and it is painfully obvious that they are artificial. These ones have a realistic and warm glow to them. I like that I can have them in candle or light mode (though I prefer the candle mode, hands down). The remote works well, and you can link multiple sets to operate off of a single remote. It is a little tricky to pull that off, though. It helps to get them all set up at the same time. If you're going to buy multiple sets for your home, wait until you have all of the ones you'll need. Then, install all of the batteries at the same time. You should be able to use one remote control for all of them." âTimC
Get the set of nine from Amazon for $29.99+.
12. A glittery pre-lit garland decked out with pine cones, berry clusters, and pretty white lights. It's sure to add a festive touch to any room in your house!Â
Reviewers say it does shed a lot of glitter, but it can be used outside for less mess!
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!" âRachel
Get a nine-foot-long strand from Amazon for $32.61+ (available in plug-in or battery-operated designs).Â
13. Or a strand of ruby red poinsettia garland if you have an overwhelming amount of greenery in your home and need to add a bit of color! You can use it indoors or outdoors, and it's made of wire so you can easily bend it around a stair rail or door frame.Â
14. A fluffy reindeer-print throw blanket that's so soft I promise you won't find a reason to leave your house this winter. It's also reversible! One side is made from cozy fleece and it reverses to buttery soft sherpa.Â
15. Some ridiculously cute gnome ornaments to add a whimsical touch to your Christmas tree. They're colorful, charming, and make a great gift, too!Â

They are sooo cute and a great quality. They are soft and well made, I cannot wait to add them to my tree and holiday decor! Highly recommend!" âAmazon Customer
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $16.99.
16. A snowy artificial tree so you can still have a white Christmas even if you live somewhere that doesn't get snow! It's pre-lit with warm white lights so all you have to do is add some decorations.
P.S. â compared to artificial trees from other popular retailers (i.e. Pottery Barn, Frontgate, Balsam Hill) this is a much more affordable option.Â
Promising review: "After years of serious allergies turning into sinus infections from the trees we cut as a family tradition, I decided to purchase a fake tree. So I decided if I was going fake, I was going all out fake â an indoor flocked tree! I was so unsure about purchasing a flocked tree online though, having not seen it in person and given the high prices. WOW!!! I am sad to be taking my 9â tree down. It is so beautiful and full that I decided to not even use ornaments! We loved the soft lights at night, the way it just stood out in our vaulted living room. Yes, slight flocking cleanup after installation and here and there, but way better than pine needle cleanup, watering, and allergies! Will always prefer the look of a wonky fresh cut tree from the approved forest area to a perfect triangled fake tree, but this was close to first due to the GREAT purchase for the money!!" âAP
Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in four sizes).Â
17. An LED star topper to light up your entire room (not just your tree) and project delicate snowflakes onto your ceiling! All that's missing is a delicious cup of hot cocoa in your hands.Â
Psst â reviewers say the projections are more effective when there's more space between the topper and the ceiling. This would also make a great holiday gift because it comes packaged in a beautiful little box!
Promising review: "I adore this so much, I bought two and placed them in the corners of the room, so the snowflakes light up the entire vaulted ceiling! My 8-year-old thought we were in Frozen, and danced like Elsa." âLauren
Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in four designs).Â
18. A set of glitter-specked handcrafted coasters that you might be tempted to keep out year round because they're *that* cute. They'll protect your surfaces and look fab on your holiday tabletop.Â
Promising review: "I love these coasters! They are the right size for a big mug of tea, good quality, and the sparkles are so pretty. They are understated but elegant â not too little or too much 'sparkly-ness.' I am really glad I got these. They not only work well (as coasters), but they are good quality and don't slide around on my desk." âKatrina79
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five color combos).Â
19. A pair of snowflake embroidered throw pillow covers to really amp up the winter wonderland theme in your home and spruce up your sofa. Just slip them over some pillow inserts and zip up 'em up!
FYI â this listing is only for the pillow covers. If you need inserts, too, you can grab them here! Oh, and the covers are machine-washable!
Promising review: "I normally donât give reviews, however, these pillowcases are by far my favorite purchase. They fit my existing pillows perfectly and donât even let the dark brown fabric show through! I love them! They are beautiful, well-made, and will be the perfect accessories for my sofa this Christmas. I cannot wait to have them displayed!" âWendy
Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99+Â (available in four colors).
20. A set of glittery ball ornaments that'll add the perfect amount of sparkle to your evergreen so you'll be rockin' around the Christmas tree in no time! They're made of shatterproof plastic so if little hands are helping to decorate the tree you won't have to worry about broken glass.Â
Promising review: "These are my favorite ornaments. I love that I can still have the look of glitter without any mess! All of the pretty stuff is inside. On the outside you have a clear, mess free bulb. I have received so many compliments on these and will buy more next year. I have dropped them and my one year old has tossed them around without any concern or damage. Highly recommend!!" âGatt

Speaking of soap! A few bottles of Mrs. Meyer's Iowa Pine-scented hand soap to fill those decorative soap dispensers and add a light but refreshing scent to your hands after lathering.Â
I love Mrs. Meyer's products and swear by this hand soap!! It cleans my hands without making them feel dry or uncomfortable. P.S. â this soap is made with moisturizing olive oil and aloe vera, and is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny-certified.
Promising review: "We love this for winter. Lovely scent of a pine forest, but not too strong for me (I have a very sensitive nose). We love Mrs. Meyer's soap; it is moisturizing and leaves hands feeling very clean." âNicci DH

24. A mini tabletop tree perfect for small spaces or apartments that don't have the square footage for something larger. With its red fabric base and multi color lights, it also makes a great tabletop decoration. đ
Psst â the needles are fire-resistant and nonallergenic!
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." âgma J
