The holidays bring a lot of joy, but they also bring a lot of stuff — much of which ends up in the trash by New Year’s. Or you might pull them out of storage to find they’ve fallen apart or stopped working.

A great way to save some money each year is to invest in quality Christmas decorations that will last, instead of buying cheap items that you’ll need to replace every season. This is also a great way to keep your holidays more sustainable. Sam’s Club sells a wide variety of products for holiday decorating, and many of them are built with durability in mind. Here are five standout items worth the investment.

Shatterproof Ornaments

• Price: $34.96

The 76-piece shatterproof ornament collection from Sam’s Club brand Member’s Mark solves one of the biggest headaches of holiday decorating: broken ornaments. These ornaments look just like traditional glass but can handle drops and bumps without shattering. There are seven color sets with different color schemes to choose from, like Winter White or Festive Blues. You could also buy multiple sets and mix and match colors.

The box is reusable, too, so you can pack them away safely for next year.

Norway Fir Pre-Lit Christmas Tree

• Price: $379.94

Real trees are beautiful, but they come with a lot of upkeep and are only good for one Christmas. This pre-lit Norway fir gives you an option that looks just as festive but with much less hassle. It looks completely realistic, and it also has built-in LED lights, so you don’t need your own. The tree comes in sections that are easy to take apart and put together, and it folds up neatly to store in the included bag. And when you take it out next year, it’s ready to go. It could easily last you a decade or more. 

Jumbo Pathway Lights

• Price: $29.97

These LED lights are made to look just like giant string lights. It’s easy to decorate a path — just push the stakes into the ground. One set is 12 oversized bulbs, which is enough to extend up to 16.5 feet. You can also connect multiple sets together to make a longer path. They’re perfect for lining driveways or creating garden paths.

These are built sturdy enough to withstand being pulled up and stored each year without breaking. And the average lifespan of the LEDs in these bulbs is 25,000 hours. That’s more than 30 years of Christmases!

Oversized Jingle Bell Décor

• Price: $99.94

Why not pair your jumbo-sized lights with some jumbo-sized jingle bells? Each set has two large metal bells with decorative bows for each, and stands to place them on. The bigger bell is 24 inches in diameter and the smaller is about 20.5 inches. They come in either red or gold colors. These could work beautifully on your porch, by the fireplace or on a table display. Their sturdy metal construction means they’ll hold up to seasonal wear and tear, and next year they’ll be ready to ring in the season once again.

Holiday Doormat

• Price: $9.97

A holiday-themed doormat is an easy way to add a little festive seasonal charm to your home. This printed coir mat from Sam’s Club has four holiday-themed designs to choose from. It’s made to last through multiple holiday seasons’ worth of wear and tear. The durable natural coir material can handle the heavy foot traffic from all your holiday get-togethers, while the non-slip back keeps it securely in place. Then just give it a quick shake and a brush-off before you store it, and it will be ready for next year.
