Budget-Saving Tips
The clock and top hat create the strongest New Year’s Eve theme, so purchase those first.
Look for New Year’s Eve supplies immediately after January 1, when party decorations are often deeply discounted. Small disco balls, metallic sprays and unused noisemakers can be stored with your ornaments and reused each year.
| Item | Suggested Quantity | Purchase Link | Budget Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Top-Hat Tree Topper | 1 | Shop the silver top-hat tree topper | This glittered silver topper closely matches the formal party look of the white-and-silver hat shown on the tree. |
| Black-and-Gold Roman-Numeral Clock | 1 | Shop the 16-inch black-and-gold clock | Secure the clock to the center of the tree with strong floral wire. Set the hands close to midnight before displaying it. |
| Champagne-and-Gold Disco Sequin Ribbon | 1 roll | Shop the disco sequin ribbon | Cut the ribbon into short sections and tuck them between ornaments instead of wrapping it continuously around the tree. |
| Miniature Champagne and Liquor Bottle Ornaments | 1 set | Shop the wine-bottle ornament | Use several beverage ornaments as focal pieces. Mix them with inexpensive homemade bottle ornaments if more are needed. |
| Clear Fillable Drink Ornaments | 1 set of 12 | Shop the 12-piece fillable drink ornaments | Fill them with metallic confetti, curled ribbon or faux champagne-colored beads. Do not add liquid when hanging them on the tree. |
| Mint and Aqua Glitter Ball Ornaments | 1 box of 4, only if needed | Shop the four-inch mint glitter ornaments | Purchase these only if you do not already own turquoise or mint-green ornaments from another Celebration Tree. |
| Red, Green, Gold and Silver Ball Ornaments | Reuse as available | Use ornaments already in your collection | Combine different sizes and finishes. Place the largest ornaments first, then fill smaller openings with standard-size balls. |
| Happy New Year Sign | 1–3 signs | Shop Michaels New Year’s decorations | For the lowest-cost option, print “Happy New Year” on black cardstock and add gold letter stickers or metallic marker. |
| Metallic Party Picks and Noisemakers | 6–10 pieces | Shop New Year’s party accessories | Repurpose inexpensive party horns, foil sprays and noisemakers as tree picks by attaching them with floral wire. |
