Top 10: Holiday Accessories For Under $25

This is a guest post by Betty T.

November and December have always been my favorite time of year ever since I can remember.  I don’t mind the cold and look forward to the year’s first snow – which, ironically, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.  The holidays are all about getting together with friends and family, eating an abundance of wonderul home-cooked food, playing games, most likely some bickering and generally a great reason to CELEBRATE!

These accessories around the home really help to bring in the holiday spirit – every piece for $25 and under!

Above is the Star Beaded Ornament Lightcatcher from WildWomanJewelry – $19

Under The Tree Dishtowel from Anthropologie – $18

Glass Pedestal Candy Jar 5″ h from Amazon – $19.99.  Can be used for so much more…in the bathroom with a bunch of these in green and red:

Bee and Flower Soap from Pearl River – $0.45 each

Pirate Ship Ornament from Anthropologie – $18

Brooklyn Advent Calendar from nouveaudesigns – $20

Elf Candleholder from CB2 – $5.95.  Little guy is cast iron, so he won’t burn – thank goodness…

Dining Table Ping Pong Set from The Curiosity Shoppe – $25.  Nothing like a little fierce competition with my 7 year old nephew!  If he kicks my tush, I can always take revenge on his 3 year old sister…If not, there is always the not quite one and a half year old niece from my other sister…

Create a Treat-Gingerbread House Kit with Tree from Amazon – $19.95.

Stainless Stain 3-Tier Lunch Box from Pearl River – $15.50.  I did mention exorbitant amounts of home-cooked food, right?
