Anyone seen nice lamps in store?

[Deleted]

MIL asked for a set of new lamps for Christmas.
She's ridiculously fussy (but I understand her fussiness) so I'd like to see them in store rather than online. Also, she doesnt' "do" internet, so if they suck at least she can return them easy enough.

H and I are headed out on our annual Christmas shopping adventure in awhile. Because I have him along I kind of have to hurry, so a good place to start would be nice.
I'm thinking TJMAXX first, then maybe Lowe's, followed by a localish furniture store? Less than $200.00 for the pair would be great as she just wanted basic, nothing too fancy.

Home Goods always has a great selection of lamps if you have one nearby.

JCPenney can be hit or miss.

My tjmaxx had a nice row of lamps last time I was there. So I think that would be a good place to startt

Thanks girls! I live nowhere near a Homegoods, but your TJMAXX has a really great housewares section. It might as well be a Homegoods.

MIL hates Target with the passion of a thousands suns, (nuts I know..but none of it is really up her alley), so that might be my last resort.

JCP is a good bet too. I'll add Hobby Lobby to the list...there's probably a decent deal to be had there.

Tuesday Morning and Big Lots have some nice lamps. I was pretty surprised by the assortment of lamps at Big Lots. If I knew what kind of house we were going to live in I would pick up a couple.

If you have any of these nearby, I'd try World Market, Pier 1, and Kirklands. WM has the mix and match bases and shades. If you sign up for their rewards program (it's free, not a credit card) they send you printable coupons too.

How can she hate Target?! Just don't tell her they're from Target hah.

(I know I am absolutely no help.)

I just some awesome ones from Lowes, I was quite surprised at their selection and prices. My Ross and Marshall's had a puny selection so I went to Lowes in desperation.
