11 HomeGoods Finds Everyone’s Grabbing to Start 2026
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.
1
Spring Decorations
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.
2
Valetine’s Day Candles
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.

Spring Pet Beds
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.
4
Valentine’s Day Towels
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.
5
Lots of Le Creuset
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.
6
High-End Knife Sets
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
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.

And, This Section of Girly Glassware
If you are into girly glassware, run to HomeGoods. Is there anything prettier than a gold and glass martini glass adorned with a bow?
10
Coffee Table Books
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.
