Every holiday season, I enjoy looking at the new ornaments. I do this partly because I enjoy looking at the new ornaments, the new holiday trends, and any potential replacements for my old ornaments if I need them.
This year, I found many pretty and cute ornaments at Walmart. I don’t always find nice ornaments at Walmart, but this year I found many! They include vintage inspired ornaments and glass ball ornaments.

For 2024, Walmart had a lot of holiday decor that was popular. Unfortunately, my Walmart, which is a smaller sized store, didn’t get very many decor that was popular. Instead, there were popular decor that was popular in the area where I live. One of those decorations was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The Nightmare Before Christmas and many Tim Burton directed films and TV shows are popular in my area. So is the merchandise inspired by them. This is why I wasn’t surprised when most of The Nightmare Before Christmas themed decorations sold out. There was a restock around late October, so there were items still for sale in December. Still, The Nightmare Before Christmas and items relating to it still remains to be very popular.
I was able to see the decorations in store before they began to sell out. Even though I do not share my area’s fandom for The Nightmare Before Christmas, I did find some items in the collection really cute.

This year, I decided to shop for more ornaments from brands I don’t normally shop for more than one ornament per year from. One of these brands is Swarovski.
I was able to purchase all my ornaments either on sale or for a really good price. One of the ornaments I was able to purchase is an Amazon.com exclusive little snowflake ornament.

For the past few years, the Walmart I normally shop at has sold Christmas decor inspired by three different popular movies and TV shows. They are The Grinch from Doctor Susses’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sometimes other popular movies and TV show inspired holiday decor is sold, but those are the three core movies and TV shows found at my Walmart.
The decor is different than what is normally sold in the Christmas section, so I really enjoy browsing it. This year, it seemed there were equal amounts of decor for each of the movies. I know many people enjoy read about my favorite Christmas decorations for the year, so I decided to do this for each of the movies. I decided to start with The Grinch because he is a Christmas movie while Stitch and The Nightmare Before Christmas are characters and movies that will work other times of the year.
This year, Walmart had some Christmas decor I really like. This year, I am more selective of what holiday decor I purchase. This decision was spurred by multiple decisions, one of them is due to inflation. Even though I’m selective of my purchases this year, I needed to replace several Christmas decorations in my collection. Since I liked the decorations at Walmart, I decided to purchase a few of the things I show in this post!
Kate Spade New York is one of my favorite fashion brands. Although the style of their bags can sometimes be out of my fashion comfort zone, I still enjoy browsing their website and looking at all the designs available for that season. I especially love their home wears and own multiple items from their home collections!
This year, I decided to purchase new ornaments that are not from Hallmark. I wanted to focus on crystal and ceramic ornaments, but they must be within a certain price range. On a whim, I decided to search for Kate Spade New York ornaments. I was surprised to find an ornament I loved but passed over years ago. It was for sale for a really good price, a price well within my price range, so I decided to purchase it.

If you are new to this blog, then you probably don’t know I’m a Christmas ornament fan. I’m not as big of a fan as others online, but ornaments are important enough to me to start browsing them in July. One of the ornaments I like to shop for is the annual Swarovski ornaments.
This year, I was happy to see Swarovski released their annual edition ornament in June. When I saw it, I decided to purchase it. I wanted to own the 2024 ornament for sentimental reasons, which is why I purchased it so early in the ornament release season.
Last year, I decided to write a review post about the 2023 annual ornament. (You can read that post here) I decided to write one about this year’s ornament as well, but I decided to publish my post much earlier than I would normally do. I wanted to do this in order to show off the ornament and give anyone interested in purchasing it a better idea what it is like from someone who owns it.
It’s that time of the year when the weather has cooled off enough for me to work on my house! I like to work on the interior of the house whenever the weather is cooler. This way I can keep the windows open to ventilate the room without worrying about the summertime heat.
I started working on the house last week. I have a long list of things to tackle and so far things are going well, but slowly. I need to buy more supplies and obtaining them in stores where I live can sometimes be harder said than done. So, I need to order them online and wait for them to arrive.
Since I’m in full house repairs and refreshes mode, I thought it would make a good post idea to talk about some of my plans. For privacy reasons, (And because I don’t know if I will accomplish them in a timely manner) I decided to not include all the things on my to-work-on list.

Weeks ago, I published a post featuring the Bodycology Cozy Fireside limited edition scent. You can read it here.
In the post, I mentioned there was another limited edition scent available at Walmart. The scent is called Winter Vanilla. Even though it is not a fall scent, I really liked the scent and decided to publish the post about it in October.
Every year, I shop for new ornaments to add to my collection. I have my ball ornaments that I don’t replace unless I need to, so I normally shop for more unique ornaments. In years past, my favorite place to shop for these ornaments has been Hallmark. It is a family tradition to shop for ornaments at Hallmark and I budget for it every year. This year, I decided not to shop at Hallmark for my ornaments.
