25 things under $25 for your home

Enjoy my 25 things under $25… Because sometimes, you just need a little boost in your home… but don’t blame me if they get sold out.

Just click on the image to link to the site for where to purchase.

This 8oz. mug is just $1.99 so you can get a whole fresh set of tea cups that don’t stain.

This basket is the perfect size for your narrow bookshelves. At just 9.5” x 12.5”, you can lay it sideways to fit comfortably on most bookcases for a tidy way to store almost anything that will fit. $22.99

The small cheese board here is just enough to layer on your own wood boards for that special cheese for a gathering. It can also work as a small chalk board, or in your bathroom as a tray for a small plant or toiletries. $12.95

At just $14, this spoon rest can add a touch of warmth to any countertop. I love the round shape.

At two adorable sizes, $14.95 and 19.95, the little touch of marble adds so much to an otherwise simple bowl. Could be used for candies on the living room coffee table; a plant on the kitchen window ledge; or in the bathroom for a candle or bath salts.

Yes, even Restoration Hardware has something you can afford. For $21, or $15 if you are a member, you can get an ultra-soft, luxurious turkish cotton washcloth. Coupled with your favourite soap for bath time, it can last for years. And there are tons of colours to choose from.

At just $6.99, you can get an uber trendy cushion cover in cotton canvas. Inserts are sold separately, but maybe you can just reuse one you already own. Who doesn’t love a fresh pillow every now and again?

Boucle is oh so trendy, and a natural colour boucle throw for just $19.99, that even has a touch of real wool in it, is a steal. The texture alone is something that can elevate any sofa… if thrown over the arm the right way.

On sale for $22.99, any one of these can add a touch of whimsy on your coffee table, or even as art, hung on the wall with a plate hanger. So on-trend too.

At $9, these round placemats are great for their original purpose, but they also look great under a plant almost anywhere, and you can even hang them on the wall for a bonus touch of texture.

This little stone bowl would look great on your kitchen counter for kosher salt, or on a coffee table with a tea-light candle. It adds so much drama for such a small piece. $19.99

I love the shape and texture of these amazing candle sticks that come in white or brown. How cute would one of these be even, without a candle, sitting on top of some books on your bookshelf? $14.99

Milk glass lamps and other great finds are always available at second hand stores. A similar lamp to this one (not quite so fine) is on sale at Elle & Eve for $23.50… but it likely won’t last.

Small 5 x 7 posters of your choice, with a frame, will run you $24.90 and would look great in a gallery wall with some of the things you already own. I love this poster company… so many options!

Cedar balls - $11.98 for 50 of them! They are obviously great for drawers and closets, but you can also pile them in a bowl for display almost anywhere.

Go figure, a fidget toy can also look good sitting right on top of a stack of books. $5.99, and you will no doubt get hours of stress relief from it… if this is your thing anyway.

This tray is one of my favourites. I have owned mine for years and it always performs. It’s big enough to carry many things at once out to the patio, and pretty enough to even use on a dining room table with some candles or plants in it. $18.99

$10.48 each - if you have a small cabinet with two knobs on it, this might be a fun change. Reminiscent of some from Restoration Hardware that are way pricier.

Sometimes you can get really lucky with a super sale, like this classic oval mirror on clearance for just $18.75. It would look great in a bathroom over a sink, in a hallway, over a dresser, or just about anywhere you want some light to bounce around.

Yes, I found a rug in this price range - this small mat can make a trendy difference to a foyer, or in front of a kitchen sink. Just $19.

Who couldn’t use a new little planter for a small plant on a shelf or on a window sill. How adorable is this little sheep? $10.99

This is one of my favourite little garbage pails. Just $16.99 and it goes with almost any decor. A sweet little upgrade to any bathroom.

I love the frosted glass of these candle holders. More than one size available, $18 - $23 each.

Vintage is always a good thing! Just $14.95 for a pair of silly salt and pepper shakers. Who doesn’t love a couple of birds in their cabinet?

And if all else fails, why not get a mini puzzle that will be center stage on a coffee table or kitchen table for at least a day or two… I know I can’t resist a cute little cat on just about anything. ;)
