There is nothing quite like decorating your home to get you into the Holiday spirit! My husband and I always turn on Christmas music, light my favorite holiday candle, pour ourselves a nice glass of wine, and spend an evening or two decorating together. It’s something we both look forward to every year! We both love when our home feels festive.
Christmas really is one of the most exciting times of the year. Especially now that we have our sweet baby, I know it will be even more exciting. Even though he is so young, I can’t wait to see him experience it all. I already know he will be more interested in the twinkling lights on the christmas tree than anything wrapped underneath it, but it still doesn’t make it any less fun! 🙂
With all that being said, I’m super excited to share with you my top picks for holiday decor. I’ve done numerous gift guides over the years, but none have been as highly requested as decor! Any of these items are sure to make your home feel jolly & bright. Oh, and the best part? Bloomingdale’s is currently celebrating Cyber Monday by offering 25% off the entire website {some exclusions apply} so you can get almost all of these favorites for a steal!
#1, #3, & #9 – I am all about a low maintenance lifestyle which is why these faux greens are perfect for me. I love that they don’t shed needles and I don’t have to worry about remembering to water them. The tree is full and gorgeous and the wreath would be gorgeous for my front door. The garland would be perfect for my mantle!
#2 – I love a cocktail napkin and it doesn’t get cuter than this set with little skiers on them. Also love the ones with holly on them.
#4 – These long candles would look gorgeous on any table and also come in several other colors like silver and gold.
#5 – I haven’t ever seen gift tags in the shape of nutcrackers before! I have always loved nutcrackers so these feel especially cute & fun.
#6 – Cupcake toppers! Such an easy way to dress up an otherwise plain cupcake. Too cute.
#7 – Not only does this smell heavenly, but its also beautiful too! Would be really pretty in a powder bathroom
#8 – These silver decorative trees are so cute. Would look amazing down the center of my dining room table!
#9 – We keep a big beautiful {faux!} pre-lit tree in our front room so that people driving by can see a tree in the window. I love that I don’t have to worry about watering it or sweeping the needles off the floor – especially since it sits on a sisal! It’s extremely easy to assemble, and after a few fluffs of the branches, looks perfect out of the box.
#10 – I love a decorative Christmas plate. I grew up eating Christmas dinner on a set very similar to this one!
#11 & #16 – Obsessing over these adorable Christmas tree platters. Would make the cutest gift {with homemade cookies on top of course!} #11 comes in 3 colors. #16 would look beautiful with some red + green candy!
#12 – Normally I’m not one for too much sparkle, but this tree topper is perfect. A star has to sparkle, right!? I love how simple this one is.
#13 – On the opposite end of the spectrum, is this very classical looking tree topper. The angel is so beautiful. It reminds me so much of the one we had growing up!
#14 – I’ve never owned a ‘candle ring’ before but was struck by how gorgeous this one was. I love gold and cranberry mixed together and think a set of these would be so beautiful for a party I’m hosting in a few weeks.
#15 & #19 – Growing up my aunt always had these poppers on every single place setting for our Christmas day lunch. I have numerous photos of my cousins and I all wearing the paper crowns and playing with the little toys inside. Pop pop pop! It’s such a fun activity for everyone to pop theirs and see what’s inside. I also love looking around and seeing everyone in a crown. It’s so festive!
#18 – Last but not least, my all time favorite holiday candle. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love this candle! With the combination of pine, spices and citrus all perfectly blended together, the fragrance is a tradition that my husband and I can’t live without. We seriously look forward to this time of the year where we can light our candles as soon as we get home and enjoy the subtle scent of Christmas. I love giving the ‘classic’ size as a hostess gift, and the ‘votive’ size is perfect for teachers, friends or neighbors!
