Under $100: Best home buys for November

Take A Seat

I enjoy sitting on my living room floor when friends are over but instead of using my toss cushion pillows, I figured it was time to invest in a couple of pillows meant for floor seating. I love anything to do with stars or moons so this immediately caught my eye. —Linda Cotrina, web producer

Sleek Switch

I recently did a big seasonal clean out and re-organizing of my kitchen. And while I super satisfied seeing everything organized and in it’s place, I found that the effect was ruined by the old came-with-the-rental light that cast a dated, yellow glow. Luckily, it’s easy to upgrade on a budget, and a simple sleek pendant lamp (in aluminum) did the trick. Only $25 at Ikea? Sold! —Alexandra Donaldson, fashion and beauty editor

Smells Like Christmas

I’m not one for festive decorations—I get a Christmas tree and we hang stockings, but you can count me out of Christmas-inspired throw cushions or Santa-patterned napkins. Instead, I celebrate the holiday season every year by making sure I have a wintery-inspired scent on hand. Think pine trees, woods and holiday spices. This season, you’ll find this Illume Balsam & Cedar candle wafting through my living room as I bundle up with a good book or entertain with food and drink. — AD

All About That Vase

Décor that's multipurpose is an added bonus. Place this sculptural fluted vase empty on a bookcase for a moody pop of teal or fill it with fresh, sprawling eucalyptus for a boho chic centrepiece. —ML

Season’s Greetings

The season’s cards are always choc-full of red and green designs and plenty of Santas. It’s the reason why I always try and opt for a not-so-on-the-noise design when picking out a holiday card. I love this simple and graphic option from The Drake General Store which communicated the feeling of the season—without hitting you over the head with the go-to seasonal cliches. — AD
