I adore the look of a wall of softly glowing lights, so I picked up two packs of battery-operated string lights. Each box had 48 lights and was $4.

Next, I grabbed a mini green Christmas tree with a wood base that I instantly fell in love with as it looked like it cost triple the price. But in reality, it was $2.50.

I also couldn't resist the sparkling gold reindeer ($2.50) and red present for my coffee table ($4).

Finally, when it came to pillows, there were a variety of styles to pick, from graphic trees to more traditional designs with reindeer or snowmen for $4.

The final look is so cheerful and only took me minutes to set up. Plus, as everything is small, they can easily be stored in a box once the holiday season is over to use the following year.
