4. Projector snowflake lights

I can tell you from experience, if you’re not the light-hanging type, this is a game changer. Plug it in, stick it in the ground, point it where you want it to “snow” and you are all set.

The lights are LED, have a large coverage and create the illusion of virtual snowflakes. ❄️

5. Stringed Christmas tree lights

This reminds me of a canopy or waterfall of lights. It’s so pretty! You can use them inside, but they look absolutely gorgeous outside. And it has a star atop the “tree,” too.

6. Kids felt Christmas tree

How fun this is for kids! It’s 3 feet tall, can be hung on the wall and has 26 detachable ornaments that include Santa Claus, snowmen, a snowflake, Christmas socks, a Christmas hat, candies, bells and more.

It’s a great way for kids to use their fine motor skills while having a Christmas decoration that’s truly at their level.

9. Lighted gift boxes

Why stop at putting lights on the tree? Put some beneath, too. These lighted gift boxes are just the touch your tree skirt could use. No matter when the rest of your presents wind up under the tree -- building up ahead of Christmas or all on Christmas morning -- these give a little more magic to the overall scene.
