It’s a new year, and HomeGoods is here for it! My daughter and I stopped by our local store in Dresher, PA, on New Year’s Eve, and the workers were busy stocking the aisles with brand-new merchandise. Christmas decor was 80 percent off, and down to only an aisle or two. The rest of the store was stocked with a wide selection of fresh finds, ranging from Valentine’s Day and Easter decorations to neutral year-round decor. What were some of the best items I saw in people’s carts? Here are 11 HomeGoods finds everyone’s grabbing to start 2026.

spring - 2

Leah Groth

Spring decor is starting to flood in, even though the first day of winter was just a few weeks ago. There were so many great faux flowers, plants, and vases. This setup was in front of the store, and there were so many things I wanted to buy.

Valentine's Candles - 3

Leah Groth

Christmas candles are almost gone due to a major sale. I picked up this red candle from Ninety Six, Scent No. 28, and fell in love. Literally. It smells like your teenage crush, the candy-scented perfume you wore as a teen with notes of apple, cherry blossom, sandalwood, and sweet vanilla. There are several other V-day candles to choose from.

Pet beds get gross and grimy fast. HomeGoods consistently offers a low-priced, chic assortment of sleeping cushions for dogs and cats. I love these spring-inspired patterns and colors for replacing holiday pet beds.

new towels - 5

Out with your Christmas towels and in with Valentine’s Day ones. HomeGoods has an assortment of patterns in various sizes and textures, perfect for feeling the love after a bath or shower.

Le Creuset - 6

Leah Groth

HomeGoods doesn’t always carry Le Creuset, but when it receives a new shipment, the items sell quickly. I found a bunch of cookware from the line in various colors, including a gorgeous powder blue and the trademark cherry red. The prices were great. One of the casserole dishes was under $25.

knife sets - 7

Leah Groth

You should consider refreshing your knives this year. I recently purchased a new set, and it has been a major game-changer in the kitchen. There are several options at HomeGoods, all priced well below retail.

Heart shaped frames - 9

If you are thinking of sentimental gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, frame a favorite photo of you and your Valentine in a heart-shaped frame. There were so many beautiful and romantic options in the frame aisle.

If you are into girly glassware, run to HomeGoods. Is there anything prettier than a gold and glass martini glass adorned with a bow?

I love buying new coffee table books to dress up my coffee tables and bookshelves. They are always significantly under retail price at HomeGoods, and I found some great ones on this trip, ranging from Taylor Swift fashion books to travel and photography ones.
