With Thanksgiving over we can safely begin (continue) the Christmas decorating and activities. I’ve pulled together a few cute Christmas decor and home items that make a great gift for yourself or a friend.

1. Christmas City Plates: These Christmas city plates and mugs are so pretty and while they only have 4 cities, even if you aren’t from any of the cities they still make a great gift for someone who is or for your friend that loves to travel.
2. Christmas Glasses & Carafe: The painted glasses are a collaboration between Parisian-based artist Nathalie Lee and Anthropologie and have a vintage vibe to them.
3. Christmas Tree Pillow: Pillows are one of the easiest way to jazz up a living room with Christmas Cheer. This little tree shaped pillow would look great thrown on an accent chair or paired with some other festive pillows.
4. Nutcracker: When I was little we saw a local production of the nutcracker each year because my sister was a dancer and was in it and it just feels like such a quintessential part of the holiday season. This pastel Nutcracker is 24″ tall so definitely will have a presence but if that’s not your thing there are so many options out there. Pair him with some other nutcrackers, trees, or Christmas decor for a festive vignette.
5. Skiing Scene Pillows: I like that these pillows are more winter themed than Christmas so they feel like they can be out longer. They also remind me of my childhood skiing and feel very lodge-like.
6. Reusable Gift Wrap: This makes a great bonus gift for a white elephant or gift exchange as something to wrap your gift in. Not only are they pretty but they can be reused again and again and become kind of like gift bags where they circulate around friend and family groups.
7. Tea Towel: Tea towels are such an easy way to add spirit to your kitchen, plus they make a super easy hostess gift paired with a box of chocolates, a jar of honey, or other food related item.
8. Fluffy Tree: The first of many tree type decor on this list, this fluffy tree is the perfect additional to a winter wonderland themed decor.
9. Glass Light Up Tree: This glass tree lights up within giving that perfect glow to any room in the evening and will create beautiful shadows.
10. Oven Mitt: Practical and cheerful, pair with some printed holiday spatulas, tea towels, or a festive shaped cake tin for a sweet hostess gift.
11. Glass Tree Set: This set of trees does that hard work of arranging colors and sizes that work together, these scattered amongst some garland would make a beautiful mantles cape.
12. Bottle Brush Tree Candle: Festive and functional, these bottle brush trees are actually the lid to a candle so when not burning the candle adds to your holiday decor.
13. Stockings: The chunky faux fur stocking is the perfect additional to a mantle if you are going for a laid back, bohemian Christmas. The embellished band around the top adds the perfect level of sparkle.
