Lowe’s has plenty of items for homeowners that are worth the money. From home essentials like ladders and furniture to seasonal decor and toys, there’s something for everyone this holiday season. Depending on how soon you start shopping, you might even snag a few things on sale.
GOBankingRates went through Lowe’s catalog and here are the top items to buy ahead of Christmas.
Step Ladder
- Price: $179
You never know when you might need a step ladder to reach the ceiling, roof or gutters. Around Christmas, you might need one to put up string lights or other decorations. Once the holidays are over, you can still use the ladder for other projects around the house.
Be sure to get a ladder that matches the height you need. Lowe’s has ones ranging from six feet high to upwards of 10 feet high.
TV Stand with Electric Fireplace
- Price: $341.98
Bring in the winter months with a flat wall LED electric fireplace. It’s remote-controlled, has color-changing flames and can heat up to 400 square feet. You might not save on the electricity bill, but you’re bound to make your home cozy, warm and smoke-free. Plus, you can put an 80-inch television on top.
Free-Standing Deer Decor
- Price: $119.99
Even if you don’t have a big yard, this family of free-standing deer will bring some Christmas cheer to your home — and your neighborhood. They have LED lights and cute red bows on front.
Free-Standing Snowman

Like many other major retailers, Lowe’s is having some great November deals right now. For example, this free-standing snowman decor with LED lights costs $82.99. Normally, it’s $96.98. This deal might not last, but you’re bound to find others, too. If you’re in the market for some front yard holiday decor, now’s the time to buy.
Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree
- Price: $498
Lowe’s has Christmas trees ranging from several feet tall to about eight feet tall. Some, like this artificial fir one, come pre-lit. Others come frosted with fake snow on the branches or color-changing lights. Still others are left bare so you can decorate them exactly as you see fit.
If you do prefer a pre-lit variant, this one is 7.5 feet tall and has full branches. It’ll look great in your foyer or living room.
Pre-Lit Indoor Christmas Wreath
- Price: $33.73
Add some holiday spirit to your front door with this pre-lit wreath. It’s battery-operated and artificial, so it will last a long time. It also has an elegant look that’s sure to turn a few heads.
Heated Jacket

Unless you live someplace where it never gets cold, you’re probably going to need some winter apparel. This structured soft shell heated jacket will keep you warm while defying the water and wind. It comes in sizes small to 3XL and has several secure pockets to store your personal belongings while you’re out and about.
Wood Playset With Slide
- Price: $499
Whether it’s a gift for someone else’s kids or your own, this outdoor wood playset is a great addition to any homeowner’s backyard — even if it’s small. It features a rock wall, a six-foot slide, rope swing chairs and a chalkboard. It’s easy to assemble, too.
Indoor Basketball Game
- Price: $60.62
If the winter months are too cold to enjoy being outside, consider this arcade-style basketball game instead. It’s battery-powered and meant for indoor use and can be put in your child’s bedroom or a spare room. Even better, it’ll keep your son or daughter active and entertained when the weather gets bad.
Ninja Countertop Blender
- Price: $119.99
Lowe’s sells a great many small kitchen appliances, including deep fryers, blenders, indoor grills and toasters. These make for great Christmas gifts, but they’re also practical to have as a homeowner.
Take this countertop five-speed blender by Ninja for example. It’s great for making smoothies, nut butter and more. It’s also on sale.
Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
- Price: $449.99
Get ready for the winter holidays with an adjustable five-quart stand mixer by KitchenAid. It’s sturdy, has a stainless-steel bowl and can hold up to five quarts at a time. If you’re hosting a holiday party, it’s particularly useful for mixing up cookie dough or even making shredded chicken.
