It’s that time of the year again—the one that brings out the nostalgic Mariah Carey in all of us. But we at Bored Panda want to bring out the penny-wise Santa in us and help you deck the walls without decking out your bank account. Because let’s admit it, nothing feels more joyful than making fantastic Christmas decor while saving a few bucks.

Before we jump into the fun part, let’s address the “not so bright” side of the holiday season that brings out the Grinch in all of us—the costs. Americans spend A LOT in December—about $1,000 every Christmas. Most of it is spent on gifts. Yet, most American families plan their purchases for the holiday season wisely. 

Instead of booming sales in December (12% do this), most prepare throughout the year. Finmasters states that 43% of Americans start shopping for Christmas at the end of October. Interestingly, 1% said they do their Christmas shopping in January. Now that’s fashionably late!

However, you don’t need to wait for January to start decorating or get the best deals on Christmas decor. As the Christmas spirit adorns December with joyful smiles, twinkling lights, and cinnamon-scented halls, it’s officially the month to sleigh and start prepping!

So, let’s jingle all the way to the perfect Christmas decor with our merry-making guide of 65 budget-friendly ideas. Don’t forget to upvote your favorites and add them to your basket before they sell out.

All the listed decorations range from $7 to $45 (in publishing time).
