My Christmas cards just went out, so if you waited until the last minute, I feel ya. I’m in that boat, too. When I was painting my Christmas cards, I thought about people who might not have had time to shop and also don’t have enough time to wait for a regular shipping schedule. Today, I’m rounding up affordable last minute home decor gifts on Amazon (if you have Amazon Prime, they should arrive by Christmas!).

So, take a deep breath. I’m an interior designer and I’ve got you covered. Most people are afraid to give home decor items to others because they are afraid it won’t match their style. To this I say, pish posh. Home decor is one of the easiest things to shop for! You just select items that are neutral and mainstream.

PS: these affordable last minute home decor gifts on Amazon are all under $50.

Affordable Last Minute Home Decor Gifts on Amazon

Pottery

Pottery is literally the slam dunk of home decor. What’s trending now is homemade looking pottery, like from an artisan. Sure, it would be preferable to support local artists but YOU AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THAT. Also, it’s much more expensive and not everyone can swallow that price point. And that is okay, friend. You can still select something beautiful and within your price point.

One of my favorite quotes from a graphic design professor is, “A great designer designs great things, whatever the limitations”. Isn’t that beautiful? Whatever the limitations. Be it time, money, materials, you can still find something that makes you smile if a designer did his or her job.

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any sort of pottery. This little bud vase is gorgeous and looks handmade.

Essential Oil Diffuser $32.99

I’ve had my essential oil diffuser for a few years now and I use it all the time. I bought a starter pack of essential oils that had some premixed blends, but now I enjoy mixing my own scents. This is a really great addition to a home that wants calm.

Happy Light $39.95

I have this exact happy light and it’s been great. If you know someone who is affected by seasonal affective disorder (SAD), this light therapy is wonderful.
