Cheap outdoor decorations

So I’m looking at scaffolding... all my windows are obstructed by scaffolding and netting šŸ™

So I am going to put up some outdoor decos once the builders knock off for Christmas! We have a balcony so I’m thinking of a light up reindeer maybe...

Has anyone seen any good (not expensive) outdoor decos (lots of lights!) that can cheer it up a bit?

I would leave it until the last minute and see what your local garden centre has in, they’ll probably be vastly reduced by that point and you could get a bargain. Make sure you measure up before you go so you know it’ll fit!

I am not sure what you may be able to find now. Lots of places are sold out. Apparently sales of Christmas lights and decorations ar up over 200% from last year. Maybe worth checking ebay perhaps?

Being a cheap skate never pays . Go BIG . With proper waterproof lights and wake up x-mas day with electricity . LOL

I’ve seen solar ones - solar? It’s like living on a flipping igloo here at the moment! I want Blackpool illuminations!

I would imagine you would need about 8 or 9 hrs of sunshine to power them up . And as were in winter time now . NOT MUCH SUN you may get a wink from every bulb before they die

My solar powered lights don't work in winter. I'd get plug in ones definitely
