White Stoneware Gold Rimmed Dishes

These white stoneware gold rimmed dishes will make your holiday table shine! I love that they are a simple white with a gold-colored rim – they fit with any holiday decor theme, and can be used at other times of the year as well.

You’ll find 10-1/2″ dinner plates, 8″ salad plates, 7″ bowls, and 12-ounce mugs as part of this collection – everything you need for your holiday celebration.

More Tips: Pair these dishes with a 13″ gold faux wood plastic charger plate for extra sparkle, and don’t forget to include a set of cut pressed glass goblets for even more pizzazz!


Jingle Bell Door Hanger

The sound of jingle bells during the holidays is so delightful! Hang one of these jingle bell door hangers on your front door to jazz it up, and to let you know when guests have arrived. Available in assorted colors.

More Tips: These door hangers also look great hung on your window latches – they add that little-something-special to your windows. You could even use them on a tree as a decoration. They also make a nice embellishment on gift packages – just tie one on your package with ribbon and you have an extra gift.


Tinsel Trees

Imagine a forest of tinsel trees lined up on your mantel! Just line up either an assortment of different colored trees, or trees all in the same color. A simple yet fun look for your mantel.

Each tree is 10″ tall and is made of a metal and plastic frame covered in tinsel. Available in assorted colors.

More Tips: These tinsel trees would also look lovely on windowsills in each of your windows. For holiday parties, tuck several of these trees among your treats on a buffet table for a sparkly look.


Holiday Candles in Jars

Aren’t these candles fun?! I love the decals on the glass – a perfect way to add holiday cheer to any decor.

The glass candle jars are about 4″ diameter and close to 4″ tall, and have an unscented candle in them.

More Tips: Use one or more of these candles to decorate a guest bathroom for the holidays. They also would look right at home on a center island or holiday buffet table. Place one or more candles in each of your windows to reflect the candlelight off the glass. These candles also make excellent stocking stuffer gifts, or to include in gift baskets for neighbors.


Holiday Spirits Wine Glasses

I love these fun “Full of Holiday Spirits” glasses! It would be fun to serve beverages in them at a holiday party and would make your guests smile.

More Tips:  I think it would be fun to turn these glasses into mini gift baskets for co-workers! Fill each glass with small wrapped holiday candies, holiday Gummy Bears,  or other small treats. Tuck the filled glass into a clear treat bag and tie it off with a ribbon. Your coworkers will thank you! 😉


Classic Ball Ornaments

This 5-count pack of classic ball ornaments has so many clever uses! Of course you could use these ornaments to decorate your Christmas tree, but they would also look great displayed in a clear glass vase (also available for $1.00). Just add the ornaments to the vase with the hanger clips facing in and you’ll have a beautiful, colorful accent piece. Place the filled vase on a coffee table, mantel, or even on a dinner table as a centerpiece.

These ornaments come in a 5-count tube. They are made of plastic and are in shiny red, gold, silver, and champagne colors. Some have a glitter finish, others a matte finish. A nice selection!

More Tips: Turn the ornaments into a special garland for your windows. Use a spool of clear fishing line to create your garland. Unwind about 6 feet of fishing line, tie on an ornament, then continue to tie on ornaments every 3 feet or so until you have the length of garland you need for the width of your window. Use removable clear plastic hangers to secure each end of garland above your window on the window trim. The ornaments will reflect the sunlight from your windows and cast sparkles around your room.


Kitchen Towels

Add more cheer to your kitchen with these holiday kitchen towels. There are three different red buffalo plaid towels available – winter wishesdeck the halls, and it’s the most wonderful time of the year.

More Tips: Not only are these towels fun for the kitchen, they also make great gifts AND unique gift wrap! For a gift, use the towel in place of tissue paper in a gift bag. You could also wrap your gift in the towel and secure the towel with ribbon (versus tape like you would use with paper gift wrap). And… you could also use these towels to turn them into throw pillows! Just sew two towels together, add a pillow form or stuffing, and you have a unique pillow for your holiday decor. Be creative!


Plaid Stocking

This cool red buffalo plaid stocking has so many uses! Use it for it’s intended purpose as a stocking to hang on a mantel. Or, turn it into something new! This stocking would make a fun and unique “gift bag” for the gifts you give to neighbors, teachers, delivery men and women, and Secret Santa gifts. Just fill the stocking with candies, cookies, treats, or small gifts then add a gift tag with a handwritten note to the recipient.

More Tips: Hang a stocking on your front door and fill it with holiday candies. Put a note on the stocking that says “Thank you for delivering our packages – Please help yourself to a treat”. When the delivery people (UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.) drop off your online shopping packages this year, they’ll be able to help themselves to a special treat – a nice way to thank them for their service. They’re sure to want to come to your house again and again!


Mercury Glass Candleholders

Silver and gold… The unique design of these mercury glass candleholders reminds us of the happiness and time spent with loved ones. They are an elegant shape and the mercury glass look is enchanting – perfect for every day use or for the holidays.

Set these candleholders on a mantle, dining room table, bathroom vanity, or on your windowsills.

More Tips: While these are glass candleholders, they also make excellent succulent planters for gifts, as well. Make sure to add proper succulent soil to these holders since there are no drainage holes, then plant a small succulent. Makes fun stocking stuffer gifts for friends and family.


Berry Cluster Floral Spikes

These berry cluster floral spikes have a lot of different uses. Use them as their intended purpose in a vase, or try a different way to use them. For example, use these floral spikes as a part of your Christmas tree decoration. Just stick the spikes into the tree so they hang out a little bit and they’ll add a lot of interest to your tree.

More Tips: These floral spikes make fun gift package embellishments! After wrapping your gift in gift wrap and ribbon, slip one of these spikes under the ribbon instead of a bow. Gorgeous!
