If you’re anything like me, you enjoy picking up a couple of new holiday decorations each year. The kids love it and it helps everyone get in the holiday spirit. 

However, if you’re purchasing your holiday decorations in the weeks leading up to Christmas, you’re likely paying more money than you should. Even though stores like Home Depot usually run sales on holiday items before Christmas, the real savings opportunity starts once Christmas is over. This is when holiday items can be marked down as much as 75% off.

If this makes you want to pick up some holiday items for next year, here are items you might want to put on your shopping list for Dec. 26.

Animated Christmas Inflatable

This year, we purchased our first Christmas inflatable for our yard and my kids are hooked. If you want to add something humorous to your yard next year, consider this six-foot LED snowman and dog scene Christmas inflatable. Right now, it’s marked down from $69.99 to $34.98, but that price will likely go even lower after Christmas.

Iridescent Snowman Holiday Yard Decoration

What better way to bring holiday cheer to the neighborhood than with a sizable LED-lit snowman in your front yard? This six-foot snowman has 90 cool white LED lights and collapses for easy storage. It’s currently $79.98, down from $99. However, the price should go down even further after Christmas.

Christmas Lights

Every year, I find myself in need of new Christmas lights. However, I try not to purchase them until after Christmas unless it’s absolutely necessary. This is when they mark the prices down significantly to get them off the shelves. 

Pop-Up Ornament Stack Holiday Yard Decoration

Another great addition to your front yard is this five-foot pop-up ornament stack. Lighted with 210 warm white LED sparkle lights, this is currently on sale for $54.98, marked down from $89.98. Waiting a bit longer should unlock additional savings.

Artificial Christmas Trees

Have you considered switching from a real tree to an artificial tree? With the cost of real trees increasing yearly, this is a common trend for many families. However, like many other things, purchasing these directly after Christmas can make the most financial sense.

Collapsible Cone Tree

This year, we added a new LED collapsible cone tree to our front yard. It was the perfect addition to go next to our inflatable. Home Depot has a pack of three of these cone trees marked down to $49.98 from $99. Each is a different size, three, four and five feet and easily collapses for off-season storage. 

Ornament Storage Box

Once Christmas is over and it’s time to put everything away, you need a place to put your Christmas ornaments. Not only is this going to help keep things organized, but it’s going to help keep things from getting damaged in storage. For $14.98, you can purchase ornament storage boxes with slots for 45 ornaments.
