You can give an existing Christmas tree a whimsical refresh for under $50 by choosing a few pieces with different jobs. Let a garland bring color across the branches, a bow provide a focal point, and one character ornament supply the personality.
If your search for Anthropologie Christmas ornament dupes is really a search for something playful, start with our Merry & Bright Christmas collection. Candy shapes, colorful patterns, and felt animals offer plenty of inspiration for a tree that feels personal.
Keep your tree's foundation
Before shopping, lay out the ornaments and ribbon you already own. Keep the pieces you love, then choose one or two colors to repeat in the new additions. A little pink can sit alongside traditional green, while yellow can brighten a collection of red and white ornaments.
This approach is a refresh, so you can spend on details that change the character of the tree. Use the lights, tree, and favorite ornaments you already have as the starting point.
Add a six-foot candy garland
The Colorful Sugared Candy Garland costs $18 and measures six feet long. Its candy shapes introduce a playful theme that you can repeat elsewhere with ornaments or ribbon.
For a larger tree, focus one strand on a visible section rather than expecting it to cover every branch. Try a loose sweep across the front of a smaller tree, or use it on a nearby mantel so the color story continues through the room.
Choose one patterned velvet bow
At $14.99, the Patterned Cotton Velvet Christmas Clip-On Bow brings soft texture and long tails to the arrangement. Choose Pink Dash for a bright accent or Yellow Stripe for an unexpected color among evergreen branches.
Place the bow where you want the eye to land, then step back. Leaving room around it helps the pattern show. You can repeat its color using ornaments from your existing collection.
Give the tree a tiny character
Our Handmade Wool Felt Mouse on Doughnut Ornament is $9.99, with three styles sold individually. The wool felt texture, frosted doughnut, and tiny mouse make it a little scene worth looking at closely.
Hang it where guests can spot the details. Character ornaments work especially well when they connect to something you enjoy, whether that is baking, animals, or simply decorations with a sense of humor.
