Decorating for the holidays and staying on my Christmas budget is actually fun for me in a way. I know that may sound weird, but this seems to be the one time of the year when budgeting is not stressful. The decorating part, I mean. The shopping on a budget is another story, LOL.

There are so many great ways to make a home look cozy and holiday ready without spending much money at all. You can find so many awesome homemade Christmas decorations on Pinterest. Plus, I love those home tours that I come across on there. Those beautiful homes decorated for Christmas give me so much inspiration (even though I may not be able to do all the gorgeous stuff they do, I still can come up with my own variations, kwim?)

But a girl's gotta buy something new for the holidays each year. So here are some of my favorite holiday finds this year so far. These decor items are all under $25 at Amazon, and some are priced under $10!

This Christmas tree pillow cover is under $2 on Amazon right now.



This cozy holiday throw is perfect for snuggling under when it is cold outside.



Festive and farmhouse pillows ~LOVE. Each pillow costs less than $10.




How cute are these snowman refrigerator door handle covers? Can you tell I love snowmen??



This Santa bathroom set would be so cute in a guest bathroom or a kid's bathroom!




I wanted to buy everything, but I am on a budget, don't ya know. So I only chose one. Can you guess which one??

GBSELL Pillow Cover Christmas Tree Square Pillow Case,1818“ (B)

Ultra Plush Christmas & Halloween Themed Fleece Throw Blankets - Assorted Styles (Snowman & Snowflakes)

Red White Christmas Buffalo Checkers Plaids Linen Square Throw Pillow Cover Decorative Cushion Shams Pillowcase Love Cushion Case for Sofa 18 x 18 Inch


And since my budget for actually buying decorations is tight, you know I had to also find some awesome and easy diy homemade Christmas decoration ideas  as well. Hope you see one or two you want to make too!

If you have children on your holiday gift list this year, then you need to know which toys are sizzling hot for 2017. According to eBay, these are the top toys younger kids want this Christmas. You can also check out this list of the most popular toys of 2017 to see more toys that are predicted to be in high demand for older kids as well this holiday season.


Luvabella Doll


Life-like Luvabella makes facial expressions, giggles, burps and can say more than 100 words. This toy has made many hot Christmas toy lists. Yea, this doll may look a little, um, spooky, but apparently she acts so much like a real baby, that she really is a hot item this year.
Head to Amazon to buy Luvabella now if the price (around $165) does not bother you.


Fingerlings



These cute interactive toys are predicted to be super- hot sellers this Christmas. You can find Fingerlings on Amazon, but beware, supplies may not last as we get closer to December. And I have heard rumblings that the 'pink glitter' fingerling toy will be high on wish lists this year.



Teddy Ruxpin


Story telling Teddy Ruxpin is back and better than ever this year. He comes with the option of connecting with a free smartphone app for play, and little ones can also play with Teddy without using the optional app. It is an Amazon #1 Best Seller right now. ($95.00).


Soggy Doggy Board Game



I used to love getting new board games for my kids every Christmas when they were younger. Le Sigh. Anyway, this game featuring a cute pooch looks super cute for younger kids, and word is that it is going to be one hot item for Christmas. It is in stock on Amazon right now. Pricing is around $27.90.

Happy Shopping!
