Plan ahead and hit garage sales, but especially estate sales. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. Reuse your own decorations. These make nice gifts too. They kind of look like the ones for sale at Curious Country Creations. You can pick up beautiful decorations, wreaths, linens, trees and more at these sales.

Plus, the styles that fit are usually made by the high end manufacturers and carried in exclusive (expensive) clothing stores. There is a lovely thrift store not far from my neighborhood that receives donations from the folks in the local golfing gated community. I wash and reuse freezer bags. Cheap or frugal?
