Shop Early-online:
Instead of hitting the malls with everyone else, start your Christmas decorating early by shopping for special items online. SHOP.COM stores have a myriad of decorations right at your fingertips. From garlands and ornaments to dishware and cookware, youll find what you need right here. Shop Holiday Prepare Hostess Gifts:
The holidays usually mean visits to friends, family, coworkers and special people, like teachers. Its natural to want to share the spirit with everyone you know, but buying a lot of gifts can wear a gal out quickly. The solution? By multiples and wrap them early! Holiday candles, pretty boxes of soaps, and little ramekins filled with Christmas candy make perfect gifts. For a hostess gift in a pinch, wrap a bottle of extra virgin olive oil or a bottle of wine in a holiday kitchen towel and tie with a festive ribbon. Decorate Every Room:
A touch of holiday can make a big difference when it's displayed in unexpected places. Adorn your bed with Christmas bedding, place a jar of candy canes on the table in the foyer. Mini Christmas lights dress up more than your traditional Christmas tree: string them on your houseplants for a joyful look in every room of your home. Display and Conquer:
You want a room to feel the holiday spirit the moment you enter it, but scattering your Christmas decorations around the house haphazardly can make the space feel cluttered. One way to avoid this is by grouping similar decorations on a round end table, sofa table or fireplace mantle. A collection of nutcrackers, Christmas candles or wooden holiday accessories can be beautiful when paired together. Simply display the items at varying levels by using trinket boxes or glass risers to elevate the display to a pleasing combination. Add Christmas greenery to bring nature indoors Instant Centerpiece:
Your dining table becomes a focal point when you accessorize with holiday ornaments. You can fill glass vases or layer serving trays with round glass ornaments for instant panache. |
