It’s never too early to start prepping for the holiday season. Or (if you’re like me) to worry about prepping for it. Besides the logistics to organize, gifts to buy, and ugly sweaters to try on, you also have to plan your decorations. If you’re someone who puts up outdoor lights every year, then you know they can be a lot of work. Whether you’re spending the money to replace burnt-out bulbs or climbing up the ladder to put them up yourself, sometimes it just seems like there should be an easier, cheaper way to make your home look ready for winter. That’s why we rounded up some alternatives to traditional holiday string lights that will give your outdoor (or indoor) space that festive glow.
