ROUNDUP: $25 & UNDER HOME DECOR
I was recently gifted a $25 Visa gift card from a friend and it got me thinking about what I could purchase for my home at that price. I usually put gift cards toward larger purchases, but this time I wanted to see what I could find for the gift card value alone. Everything is linked in case you have a $25 gift card burning a hole in your pocket, too.
1. Neutral Throw Blanket - $14.53
This blanket is a great size for the price, 50 x 60 inches! It’s tones & texture are great year-round, making it a piece that can travel around your home. I’m all about decor pieces that can live many lives.
2. Marble Soap Dish - $22.95
I think a big chunky piece of French soap on this dish would make such a memorable vignette in a powder room. Dramatic in the best way.
3. Oil Cruets - $17.05 for a set of 2
These may be what I end up using my gift card for. I love how they blend form & function. There is a vintage marble turntable next to my range begging for these babies. PLUS they come with 36 labels that have the most common oils, vinegars & syrups so you can customize them to your kitchen.
4. Stylish Safety Matches - $23.99
The size of this amber glass jar is substantial and I’m a sucker for modern typography on glass. It’s a niche love, I know. The matches are a 4 inches long and the back of the bottle has a place to strike your matches! Display this bottle next to a candle for a functional vignette.
5. Ginger Jar - $25.32 (usually $49!)
A ginger jar is a transitional decor staple in my opinion. They are so versatile that you really can’t go wrong. Some are more stylish than others and this one fits the bill. Its pattern feels organic and hand-done, plus it’s almost never priced this low.
6. Brass Footed Frame - $14.99
This frame’s unique shape makes it great for layering in front of mirrors or larger art. Fill it with a family photo, a dried botanical, a miniature painting—the sky’s the limit with this cutie.
7. Iron Tripod Planter - $20.00
I love how unique this planter is. I value having pieces in my home that not everybody has and this fits the bill. Any plant would be lucky to live in this pot.
8. Matte Black Volcano Candle - $16.00
Volcano candles are by far my favorite of all time, but the matte black jars are new! I think they are a great way to add a little modernity to vintage pieces. Stacked on top of some art books? Shut the front door.
9. Faux Poppy Stems - $19.99
I’ve had my eye on these for months now. I love that they have curvy stems like real poppies. I’m willing to bet that after a good fluff and some water in a vase they look very real. Just read the reviews!
10. Glass Cloche - $21.43
A glass cloche has been on my thrift list for over a year now. I haven’t given up the search for one second-hand, but I might be ready to buy this one. At a darling home decor & candle boutique in Cody, Wyoming, I saw them cover their candles in cloches and it was love at first sight.
I’m still debating between the cloche & the oil cruets for my gift card…what’s your pick?
