As every Target shopper knows, the best time to buy holiday decor is the day after the holiday. But Pelaar urges people to think of their holiday shopping as more than that. "Shopping off-season and on sale items really is the key to finding great pieces," Pelaar urged. "HomeGoods, Michaels, and thrift stores have great finds throughout the year, and don't be afraid to look in aisles that aren't necessarily related to that holiday. Then I like to shop local vendors for boutique memorable items throughout the year, and local craft fairs are a fun way to find some collectable unique items, too!"
