Budget-Saving Tips
Use the yellow ribbon as the dominant ribbon and add smaller amounts of the striped patterns. This produces large, full bows while limiting how much specialty ribbon you need. Cut ribbon into separate sections rather than wrapping an entire roll continuously around the tree.
The beverage ornaments can be shared with the Happy New Year tree. Store them together as one celebration collection, then change the topper and focal sign when moving from one theme to the other.
| Item | Suggested Quantity | Purchase Link | Budget Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Let’s Celebrate” Tree Sign | 1 | Make it with painted wooden or cardstock letters or purchase banner from https://www.orientaltrading.com/colorful-let-s-celebrate-garland-a2-14209406.fltr | Cut large letters from colorful cardstock, foam board or thin wood. Overlap the letters and attach them to floral picks for an inexpensive custom topper. |
| Wide Yellow Wired Ribbon | 1–2 rolls | Shop the yellow-and-white wired ribbon | The inspiration tree uses solid yellow ribbon. This yellow-and-white version provides a similar bright effect and can also be reused on summer and school-themed trees. |
| Black, Gray and White Striped Wired Ribbon | 1 roll | Select the black, gray and white color option | Select “Black, Grey, White” on the product page. Use it in large loops and layered bows for contrast. |
| Bright Multicolor Striped Ribbon | 1 roll | Shop the yellow, orange and lime striped ribbon | Layer this patterned ribbon with the yellow and black-and-white ribbons to make fuller bows without purchasing multiple expensive specialty patterns. |
| Miniature Wine and Liquor Bottle Ornaments | 1 mixed set | Shop the wine-bottle ornament | Mix several statement ornaments with DIY miniature bottles made from clean party favors or dollhouse accessories. |
| Clear Fillable Drink Ornaments | 1 set of 12 | Shop the fillable drink ornaments | Fill them with metallic paper, beads or curled ribbon. Use them on both the Let’s Celebrate and Happy New Year trees. |
| Cocktail-Themed Ornament | 2–4 ornaments | Shop the personalized beverage ornament | A few distinctive beverage ornaments are enough. Place them toward the front rather than filling the entire tree with costly specialty pieces. |
| Large Turquoise and Mint Ornaments | 1 box of 4, only if needed | Shop the four-inch mint ornaments | Reuse turquoise ornaments from your Back-to-School or Happy New Year tree before purchasing another set. |
| Oversized Red, Lime-Green and Gold Ornaments | Reuse 8–12 ornaments | Use ornaments already in your collection | Reuse red ornaments from the Peppermint Tree, lime ornaments from the Back-to-School Tree and gold ornaments from the Traditional Christmas Tree. |
| Woven Basket Tree Collar | 1, only if needed | Reuse an existing woven basket or tree collar | A large woven basket, storage basket or collar from another Celebration Tree creates the same finished appearance without another purchase. |
