Refresh Your Decorations
There’s something to be said for working with what you’ve got. Mega-successful Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos once said, “One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out,” and the same goes for tight budgets.
If you already have some tried-and-true decorations, but you’re thinking about buying more, first consider if there are ways to reinvent the ones you have.
This could mean tying a tartan ribbon around a plain red candle, putting a coat of glittery red paint on a fading ceramic Santa or simply rearranging things in a way you’ve never thought about before. Finding unexpected ways to display your items can provide a whole new look.
With a little creativity, the same guests who attend your annual Christmas party year after year will be asking you where you got all the cute new stuff.
