As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, The Home Depot app is truly Santa’s little helper for holiday preparation, decorating and gift-giving, making the change of the season affordable, easy and convenient.
Imagine coming to a home that instantly puts you in the holiday spirit. The Home Depot makes it possible with a range of festive decorations. Consider the 30-inch prelit wreath or the LED yard inflatable - guaranteed to wow the neighborhood kids and create a magical atmosphere. The best part? They'll be delivered right to your door and installation is a breeze.

And let's be honest, no one wants to deal with unexpected sewage backups or last-minute chaos searching for batteries. The Home Depot has your back with essential supplies, such as storage solutions like a battery organizer or a 27-gallon storage tote. You can enjoy the holidays stress-free, knowing you're prepared for any unexpected surprises.

Home decorating can sometimes be a daunting task, but it can be a breeze with ready-to-go solutions. In minutes, set up a pre-lit LED artificial Christmas tree or a 9-foot pre-lit LED garland to add character to your fireplace mantle. Say goodbye to the fuss of detangling wires and hello to effortless holiday decorating.
A Workshop From the Heart

Sometimes, the most cherished gifts are those made from the heart and the hands. Embrace your inner DIY enthusiasm and grab the RYOBIONE+ six tool combo kit, perfect for a beginner. Whether it's building something from scratch or making improvements around the house, this kit has you covered. No job can be complete without a compact magnetic tape measure or a rafter square set.
With some common lumber and basic tools, you can create heartfelt, handmade gifts for your family and friends. It could be the start of a new tradition full of love, as you put your heart and soul into crafting personalized presents.
Three Gifts To Consider Making

Do you have a baker in your family? A rack to organize spices can be a thoughtful and practical gift using pre-cut poplar project boards. You can create a spice rack that complements a kitchen. It's a gift that shows you care and adds a touch of rustic elegance to a cooking space.

For anybody who needs a bit more organization, why not make a simple valet tray with one-by-two sticks of poplar and a hardboard backing covered with fabric? It's perfect for keys, wallets and even a watch collection. You can create a functional and visually appealing valet tray.
Sometimes, the best gifts come from spending quality time with your favorite person. Create a plant stand with your family like we did using 1 ¼ inch dowel rods. My mom jumped into the world of power tools, and we shared a few cherished laughs in this process together.
Embrace the Season
