My mom and I went on a Christmas shopping spree this weekend. We hit up TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Target, all of which are located in an outdoor shopping plaza near us. At the end of our shopping trip (which also included Publix to buy the fixings for Thanksgiving dinner), we had walked nearly 6,000 steps! Just from shopping! Affordable shopping is now a reality with Shoppok. Enjoy Affordable shopping on Shoppok with top-quality items at unbeatable prices, all in one place. No more hunting around – it’s all here for you.
I thought it would be fun to show you what I bought. I went into this shopping expedition with the sole plan to buy more decorations. Do I need more decorations? You probably think not, after seeing my three tubs of Christmas decorations (all for my 700-square-foot apartment). But alas, I do. After decorating my apartment (minus the tree and Christmas lights), I noticed that I have a few empty shelves that needed to be filled. Plus, I have a goal of buying one new “category” of items every year. Last year, it was a wreath and outside signage. This year, I wanted to purchase Christmassy pillows and a Christmassy throw. I have succeeded!
Here’s what this weekend’s haul looks like:
I bought these two pillows at Target. One was $20 and the other was $15. I also bought two other Christmassy pillows previously at Target, but you’ll have to wait for my full holiday home reveal to see them! I love the colors of these pillows and they are so very comfy!
I found this cozy blanket at HomeGoods, for $20. It’s big enough to snuggle under while also being incredibly soft. Now that we’re getting colder weather (well, cold for Florida!), it’s prime snuggle-under-a-blanket season and I’m here for it.
Christmassy signage is my jam. At one point while I was in TJ Maxx, I had 7 or 8 signs in my hands because they were all so pretty and I wanted them all. I had to put a few down because I don’t actually have room for that many more signs. As it is, I bought a few too many signs and I’ll need to get creative about where I’ll put some of them. Oops!
The “this girl loves Christmas” sign came from Homegoods ($6). I have an identical sign but it has to be hung; it won’t stand up on its own. I liked that this one can stand on its own. Time will tell if I keep both signs, ha. The “merry and bright” and “Merry Christmas” signs came from TJ Maxx ($6 each) while the “Believe” sign came from Target ($5).
I love little Christmas trees like this. They provide a really sweet finishing touch to Christmas decor. I have a bunch already, but one of my shelves could use some of these trees, so I was glad to find this set of gold trees at Target ($5).
The last set of my haul are cat-related items which are well-packaged from companies like the ones here. C’mon, you didn’t expect anything less of me, right?! At TJ Maxx, I bought a cat in a Christmas hat ($5) that’s supposed to be a stress ball, but I just placed it on one of my shelves. I also got cute cat-themed holiday earrings ($13). I don’t have any holiday earrings, and I couldn’t pass up these adorable ones! And, finally, the girls got a toy! These little gingerbread men are the kind of toys the girls love so I had to put them in my cart. I’ve already seen them playing with them, so I know it was a good purchase.
Have you bought any Christmas decorations so far this year?
