Smart LED light strips
These lights can be customized to any color scheme, making them perfect for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Halloween or even birthdays.
Many options are app-controlled, compatible with Alexa or Google Home, and easy to install with adhesive backing. Look for waterproof varieties if you want to use them outside.
Net lighting
These curtain string lights are perfect for creating a festive backdrop that transitions seamlessly between holidays. Hang them in windows, over bushes or as a backdrop for family photos. Their customizable colors make them ideal for any celebration.
These lights are remote-controlled, feature multiple color and pattern modes, and are easy to hang. They’re also versatile enough to use as ambient lighting throughout the year.
Laser projectors
These products project a dazzling display that can be adjusted for different celebrations throughout the year, often including different holiday themes, from Halloween, to St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and more.
These lights are remote-controlled, feature multiple light patterns, and allow you to change colors for different holidays or moods. Easy to set up and take down, they’re a practical and stylish choice for busy families.
String lights
These sleek, string lights are perfect for lighting up your yard or decorating trees for any occasion. With adjustable colors, they provide year-round decor that’s both functional and festive.
Some of these lights are app-controlled and weather-resistant, making it a breeze to change your colors out from the comforts of inside your home for different holidays, or keep them in neutral tones for everyday use.
Artificial wreaths
Wreaths add instant charm to doors or walls and can stay up year-round with seasonal accents swapped out (e.g., red bows for Christmas, pastel flowers for spring).
Outdoor floodlights
Color-changing floodlights can illuminate your home for any holiday, from a patriotic red, white and blue on July 4th, to eerie greens and purples for Halloween. Perfect for uplighting trees or illuminating your landscaping, these lights are a long-term investment for festive curb appeal.
Interchangeable doormats
One base mat with interchangeable inserts saves storage space and allows you to adapt your entryway for each holiday or season. Look for options with washable and durable materials.
Inflatables
While they may be holiday-specific, inflatable yard decorations are easy to set up and store - they are lightweight and collapse down to fit in any storage bin.
Time-saving decorating tips for first responder families
- Choose multi-purpose decor: Invest in versatile items that can transition across holidays, like neutral wreaths or color-changing lights.
- Go smart: App-controlled devices let you adjust themes with a tap, saving setup time.
- Simplify storage: Opt for compact decorations that won’t take up valuable storage space in your home.
With these Amazon finds, your home can shine bright for every holiday without consuming precious family time. Happy decorating!
