Fun Things at Home Depot
During a recent trip to Home Depot, I found a few fun things and bargains that I want to share with you. Typically, when I think of Home Depot, lumber, plumbing and hardware comes to mind. But in the last few years, Home Depot has become so much more. Here is a list of some of the fun finds and bargains I discovered. Also, this is not a sponsored post by Home Depot, only my personal recommendations.
If you do not get their seasonal catalog, I would highly recommend signing up for it. Here is an online version of their Summer one, which is chock-a-block full of ideas on summer home decor and entertaining. Granted, many of these products are not in the actual stores, but ordering online is very easy.

Unique tile
Recently, I ordered this beautiful green tile for our barbecue backsplash from Home Depot. They have an extensive tile collection on their website. Their stores tend to inventory what is popular or a best-selling item, but if you are looking for something unique and different, try their website.

Lanterns
During my latest trip I picked up these fabulous outdoor lanterns. They are 22″ tall. This must be the clearance price, but the cost is $12.98 each. I purchased two and went back and bought the remaining 3. When I first checked, they were available online at the price. But I believe they are now out of stock online. However, you may only get this price at the store level. Check out the inventory in your local store too.
Think of all the different ways they can be used for fall and Christmas decorating!
Even the smaller 14″ lantern sitting next to this one on the shelf, was more expensive (regular price $24.98 reduced to $16.00). Go figure.
Right now, they are sitting outside on the covered porch of the cabin. The battery operated candle is not included, but I have several of those anyway. Isn’t this just a steal? It feels so good to get a bargain!
Halloween Items
In the fall, Home Depot also has the BEST selection of Halloween items. A few years back, I ordered several fun decorations, all done from the comfort of my home. They were ready for me to pick up at my local store~~which now with their curbside pickup makes shopping a breeze. It appears that Halloween items will be available after August 1.
Entertaining
Check out the variety of entertaining items in their catalog! Their photos are beautifully staged and they also include a recipe for Grapefruit Rosemary Cocktail.
With the holidays coming, Home Depot’s prices are so affordable for glasses, dishes and serving pieces. Check out some of the fun items here.
And look how cute these blue and white melamine plates are? Perfect for outdoor use or pretty enough for indoor entertaining too!
I’m not sure how much holiday entertaining any of us will be doing, but check out these sweet oversized red and white dish towels for $2.49 each. Aren’t they ideal for wrapping baked goods or lining a gift basket. The online price is less than the catalog at$18.00 for 8 ($2.25 each).
Another fun find is a set of ceramic dinnerware that I purchased for our cabin. This is the first time I have ordered dishes from Home Depot, and am delighted with this set. Online price is $116.12 for the 16-piece set.
Outdoor Furniture Covers
Finding a good quality outdoor furniture cover is a challenge for me. They are not inexpensive and often, made of plastic, which doesn’t last more than one season. This new purchase from Home Depot is an attractive brown and beige fabric. It’s large size can accommodate a big table and 6-8 chairs.
This cover has handles and a venting system on either end. So far I am impressed with the quality and the roomy construction. Let’s see if it will survive the elements. So if you are looking for outdoor furniture covers, the collection online is rather extensive. Online price for this one is $41.98.
If you click on the links I provided, it will take you to the Home Depot website. If you decide to buy something, I may get a small stipend at no cost to you!
Home Depot’s fall catalog will be mailed sometime in August so keep your eyes open for it. Now with more online ordering and curbside pickup or home delivery, you can truly enjoy the vast number of fun Home Depot items.

Just a reminder that any words that are italicized bring you to the source. If it is a product on Amazon, please note that I am an Amazon Affiliate. If you purchase something through my website, I receive a small (very small!) stipend, which doesn’t affect the price you pay at all. My goal is to make sourcing the items easy for you. Thank you for your continued support.
I always forget to look for stuff like this at Home Depot, Mary, thank you so much for the beautiful reminder. I’ll definitely be on the hunt now! Blessings on your day, CoCo
CoCo, I just signed up for your blog~and I love it. So nice to see you here! Yes, who knew Home Depot had such fun things! I am looking forward to getting their Fall catalog (coming out in August I think). I recall it was full of great products and ideas last year. Thanks for weighing in.
Great post Mary, I’m so envious of those lanterns 😉 Thanks for sharing.
Chas, I think they may be only available at the store…When I purchased the last 3 at the Showlow, AZ store the man who had to climb up and get them for me, said they were on clearance. I wish I bought them all the first time I went. If you have a store near you, it might be worth the trip. I may try and HD store here in the Valley as I am now home. They were definitely a bargain!
Glad to know Home Depot has such cute fun items. Thanks for sharing Mary!!
Patti, so good to hear from you! Yes, it’s nice to know they carry fun things. It’s generally not my first go-to but now I will keep them top of mind.
You ROCK! I have been looking for lanterns. Will pick up a few when I head there today for supplies to paint and stencil my son’s room floor!
Anne, I hope you are able to find them. If so, let me know. I’d love to buy as many as possible. I keep thinking of the countless ways I can use them. Can’t wait to hear about your floor project!
That tile is gorgeous that you found! They have almost anything anymore don’t they? That drink dispenser is another find. I need to order some covers for my furniture so thanks for the reminder!
Cindy, I am so impressed with the covers. Really well made and not the cheap plastic material like the others I own. I went back and bought a second one and it is roomy on my large pine table and covers the table and all 8 chairs. Plus there are straps that snap around your table legs. I know you will like them.
Wow – Home Depot! Who knew?! I love the lamps – they’re so darling – you should be proud of your shopping prowess! 🙂 And I want to try that Grapefruit Rosemary cocktail! Thanks for all the great info and inspo!
