I always recommend shopping early for the best selection and savings. Lowe’s Black Friday Buildup sale is a perfect opportunity to shop ahead and save on both seasonal decor and practical items you’ll use all year.
Outdoor Holiday Decor
For years my girls have wanted more outdoor holiday decor, so last year I finally agreed to add a light-up deer to our side yard. Since we back up to a mountain with real deer, a tasteful rattan buck felt like a perfect, cozy addition.
This season I hunted for a yard deer that would look good both day and night and found an adorable pre-lit rattan buck during the Black Friday Buildup sale. Assembly was straightforward and the included stakes and hardware made installation fast—exactly what I needed for a weekend setup.
I may add a mama-and-baby set later, but the single buck already brings a warm, seasonal feel—especially with a red bow that seems to blow in the wind. To keep everything simple, I used an outdoor-rated timer and extension cord so the decorations can turn on and off automatically.
The timer I chose has two outlets and a weather-protective cover, which makes it easy to set the lights on a schedule and forget about them until spring. Using timers saves energy and ensures your display is lit at the best times each evening.
I prefer decor that’s attractive even when it’s not lit. The rattan texture and simple bow give the buck daytime charm while the pre-lit feature adds sparkle after dark.
While I haven’t moved to inflatables yet, I found plenty of other outdoor decor options in the Lowe’s sale this month that would brighten any home’s curb appeal.
I live close to my local Lowe’s, so I often stop in for paint, tools, or garden supplies. Their seasonal aisles are especially useful when you need quick inspiration or a last-minute item for a decorating project.
Outdoor Garland for Sale
I picked up a pre-lit outdoor garland to wrap around the lamppost in our side yard. It’s a plug-in style, which makes installation simple once you have a nearby outlet or an extension cord run. I used a bow I already had, but the garland itself really ties the look together.
I wrapped the garland around the lamppost from top to bottom for a classic look. Since I already ran power out to the deer, it was easy to add a short extension cord to power the lamppost lights as well. If you plan a similar display, choose weather-rated cords and protective covers to keep everything safe.
Before turning on your lights, be sure to check any HOA rules if you have them—mine requires a quick approval before full displays go live.
Tools on Sale
The sale includes great discounts on tools, making this an ideal time to buy gifts for the DIYer in your life or upgrade your own toolkit. Practical, long-lasting tools make thoughtful presents and are often more useful than trendy gifts.
- 6-foot Ladder (significant savings)
- Battery-powered Handheld Leaf Blower (great for quick cleanups)
- DeWALT Circular Saw (reliable for many projects)
- Air Compressor with Accessories (handy for inflating and pneumatic tools)
- Drill & Impact Driver Set with bag and batteries (an excellent gift for students or newlyweds)
- Reciprocating Saw (useful for demolition and cutting tasks)
- DeWALT Drill with Case & Battery (durable and long-lasting)
My Washing Machine on Sale
While browsing the sale, I discovered my washing machine was included at a discount. I bought that washer two years ago after an unexpected repair delay forced me to replace my old unit quickly. I ordered it online for store pickup and my husband picked it up on his way home. A friendly employee helped load it into the truck, and we installed it that evening—one of those smooth, memorable DIY wins.
A reliable washer is invaluable—especially for busy households. If you’ve been delaying an appliance upgrade, a sale like this is a great reason to make the switch.
Final Thoughts
If you’re decorating for the season or upgrading tools and appliances, check Lowe’s Black Friday Buildup sale for solid savings. Seasonal items like outdoor holiday decor can sell out fast, so shopping early increases your chance of finding exactly what you want. Whether you want a charming yard deer, pre-lit garland, or a dependable new washer, there are deals worth exploring.
Happy shopping—and happy decorating!
