Much fun was had today by my family thanks to The Home Depot. We were given a $100 gift card to use for holiday decorations.
It would have been much easier to go shopping for holiday decorations by myself, but I really wanted to make it a family event because my 3 year old, Put Pie, is finally old enough to get excited about the holidays and Christmas is so much more fun when seen through her eyes.
We bought LED lights to replace our old ones because they last up to 10 times longer and use up to 80% less energy.
We also got a new tree topper because I’ve always wanted a silver star on the top of my tree and Put Pie agreed it would look good.
And then we headed off for the most important part of our mission: the choosing of our Christmas tree.
We got this little guy (eat your heart out Charlie Brown) so that we could put it on a table and keep it out of reach of Luna Pie, my 10 month old. Put Pie had so much fun picking out the tree (she was actually quite opinionated) and we had fun sharing the experience with her. Not to mention The Home Depot is one of the only stores that Unknown Papi likes hanging out at (he likes to shop, but at most places he won’t linger).
I have been shopping for Christmas trees at The Home Depot for years, but this was the first time I shopped for all of my holiday decorations there and was pleasantly surprised by the wide array of choices, from shatter-proof ornaments to Martha Stewart Living lights to trees. The best part is that I don’t just get to tell you about my experience, I also get to give one of you a $50 gift card to The Home Depot!

The Home Depot often provides product – free of charge – to bloggers for review as they did for this post.

When my kids were little we put the tree in the playpen! Knowing my monsters they would have climbed up on the table to get the tree.
Absolutely LOVE the Home Depot! We shop there quite often!
Forgot to add that their paints are really good quality and we can always find whatever home repair items we happen to be in need of
Martha Stewart had items that compliment many homes for home decor.
