Ivory knit tree skirt with a cable and diamond pattern, 48 in across with ties at the opening, the same soft sweater look under the tree.
Different: Acrylic rather than a wool blend, and the cable pattern runs around the outer edge rather than all over. Sale price (50% off Christmas); regular $39.99.
A thick 6-foot strand of bendable faux pine with natural pinecones of different sizes scattered along it, unlit like the original.
Different: No twig accents. Sale price (50% off Christmas); regular $33.99.
Same 6-foot length and soft, posable faux cedar in mixed greens, with loops to link more than one.
Different: Slimmer than the 14-inch-wide designer garland, so plan on two for a very full mantel.
Layers of soft, rubbery cedar leaves on a flexible base, 6 feet long, so it drapes like the original.
Different: The $39.99 price is a 50%-off sale; the regular price is $79.99.
Red velvet-finish bows with long trailing tails on a 6-foot satin ribbon, a foot longer than the original.
