I don't know about you, but not since I was a kid have I been more looking forward to decorating for the holidays. I'm pretty sure that spending so much time at home and needing some cheering up has quite a lot to do with that. Additionally, I moved into my first house at the end of last year, so I'm seriously lacking in the holiday décor department, so I've been doing a lot of perusing for chic, inexpensive items.
Three sites I've been very pleasantly surprised by are Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, and Amazon. Each has a wide variety of stylish, affordable pieces no matter what aesthetic you're going for (in my case, it's sparkly modern minimalism—feel free to chuckle and/or roll your eyes). I had lots of fun scrolling through and figured I’m not the only one seeking a little holiday cheer at home right now, so I’m sharing my favorite items with you if you keep scrolling. (And not to fear—they’re not all giving off "sparkly modern minimalism" vibes.)
Nordstrom
This is basically my favorite thing in my house right now. It would also make an excellent gift.
This is my kind of ornament.
I wasn't kidding when I said I'm looking for sparkly things.
A great option if you're going for more of a rustic vibe.
Another chic rustic option.
Something for all of you retro decor lovers.
I'd love to decorate a mini tree with a few sets of these and nothing else.

Urban Outfitters
Passing this up is starting to feel impossible.
A stocking that stands the test of time.
Two words: cowboy corgi.

I'd be tempted to keep this up year-round.
Tie-dye, velvet, and patchwork coexist on this trendy stocking.
So many uses for these.
This is obviously adorable.
Amazon
A great option if your aesthetic is modern.
Who doesn't love a furry tree skirt?
Anything that comes pre-lit is a yes in my book.
