This Week’s Best Deals: Tapers, Tablecloths, and Plaid Tea Towels

The thrill of landing the perfect arched storage cabinet, slipcovered sofa, hand-thrown planter, or rippled glassware set on sale is second to none. But the hunt takes hustle. As our editors already spend hours combing the Internet for scores like this, we decided to compile the worthiest for your carts. The criteria? Sales on Domino readers’ most-loved brands and markdowns on quality products with rave reviews. Below, discover our chosen best deals of the week, this time featuring items to get you ahead of annual holiday decor hauls while stocking up on entertaining essentials if you happen to be hosting this year. (Then check back in seven days for a fresh or updated batch as new discounts roll in.)

Schoolhouse: Up to 40% Off Check Pillows and Tea Towels

We’re fans of a classic check all year round, but the contrasting pattern is especially a favorite at the holidays. Switch things up on your sofa or bed with this design-forward pillow cover crafted from linen and stuffed with a down-filled insert. We also recommend scooping up this versatile cotton cloth that can be tapped as not only a buffer between a table and hot plate or a tea towel, but to sustainably wrap up small trinkets for friends and family. Fun fact: The bright red plaid is achieved using a 100-year-old dye technique from Japan. 

H&M Home: Up to 62% Off Sale Items 

We swear it’s not too early to start thinking about how you plan to dress up your holiday table—wait too long and deliveries may get delayed well beyond Thanksgiving. We think H&M’s current sale is so good, though, that not even the best procrastinators will be able to resist stocking up on hosting essentials already. For starters, we found a saturated red tablecloth (the perfect backdrop for playful napkins or placemats) that’s just $8. Top things off with this statement-making centerpiece; its powder-coated metal and modern silhouette makes it a steal at 62% off, plus it can hold six tapers. 

Balsam Hill: Up to 30% Off Artificial Trees

Usually the best time of the year to buy an artificial tree is after December 25. But this year, we’ve started noticing a few of not just last year’s styles featuring a discount ahead of the winter season but new designs, too. Case in point: You can now score up to 30% on one of Balsam Hill’s artificial spruces and firs. We’re fans of the brand for its realistic branches and full bodies, but we’re even more excited that both of our top picks are under $900 (and ship for free!) for pieces taller than 6 feet. The only caveat: The sale ends tonight at midnight. 

Lulu and Georgia: Up to 50% Off Tapers and Candlesticks 

We’re firm believers that no table feels officially set without tapers—for formal and informal feats alike. But for special occasions, we’re willing to spurge on fancier pairings, like these pieces we found over at Lulu and Georgia for up to 50% off. Think about it: How dreamy would the moss green candles look sitting atop the Georgian-inspired raw beechwood holders? 

Crate & Barrel: Up to 60% Off Clearance

Lulu and Georgia isn’t our only destination for tabletop decor. Crate & Barrel is also a great source for sculptural taper holders. These final-sale finds are from Molly Baz’s collection, constructed with FSC-certified ash wood complete with weighted bases so you don’t have to worry about one being wobbly or tipping over. We’d personally grab a couple in varying heights while they’re on sale, along with a few sets of Athena Calderone’s 18-inch-tall candles for vertical intrigue. 

Furbish Studio: Additional 20% Off Sale Items 

Right now, you can use the code SOMUCHSALE when checking out at Furbish Studio to get an extra 20% off select sale products, including the brand’s cult-favorite napkins, fabric coasters, and tablecloths. For a twist on a classic red and green color scheme, we’d go for the Delphi and Sabine block prints. 

Amazon: Up to 32% Off Metal Candelabra and Stone Bowl 

If your hosting or decorating style skews more traditional than modern, we found the perfect candelabra for you: This hand-forged piece with an antique brass finish can hold three tapers. We think it would look positively chic at the center of a table or on top of a fireplace mantel this holiday season. The same goes for this footed food-safe marble bowl. 

Anthropologie: 45% Off Set of 20 Taper Candles

Maison Pechavy Slim Taper Candle Set, Anthropologie ($70 was $128)

Shop

More tapers on sale, right this way—we found a splurge-worthy svelte set with matching wood holders. The colorful set from Maison Pechavy, while pricey, is deeply discounted at Anthropologie. It’s sold as a set of 20 beeswax candles and three matching wood taper holders in varying heights. Reviewers of other tapers from the retailer are big fans, describing similar finds as “pretty and delicate,” “perfect for a Thanksgiving table,” and “so elegant.” We’d say these check all three of those boxes and then some.

Matches: 30% Off Select Decor and Gifts

This is a really good gift alert: If you have someone in your life whose love language is a freshly brewed pot of coffee in the morning or their daily rituals include an afternoon break for tea, this mug set is for them. Each mug is handmade with stoneware from South Africa and features a different earthy color and funky handle that will make every sip feel fun. Otherwise, these bulbous ceramic candleholders caught our eye. Save them as a gift or get them for yourself. The glossy finish is sure to lovingly reflect a flicker from a lit candle (perhaps one listed above?) to deliver the ambience every festive dinner party deserves.
