’Tis the season for holiday parties, Secret Santa, gift exchanges – the works. It may be hard to believe since I LOVE the holiday season, I tend to be more of a last-minute shopper.

Again.. such a difficult group to shop for. When it comes to stocking stuffers, you can never go wrong with the basics – underwear, socks, cologne, even beard oil! I included other fun finds such as a leather wallet, pocket knife, and Apple Watch if you wanted an overflowing stocking.
Tween boys will be at the ‘I don’t know what I want’ stage before we know it! I thought of gifts that wouldn’t be used for a few months and forgotten about. From trending fashion to the perfect tech gadgets – the tween boy in your life is sure to be impressed!

After weeks of planning and decorating, I’m excited to say my home is officially styled for the holidays! There’s something so special about turning your space into a cozy, holiday retreat, and I’ve loved every moment of making it feel warm and inviting. So grab your favorite holiday drink and join me for a tour of my holiday home! I can’t wait to show you all the little touches that make this season feel extra special.
Unfortunately, my holiday garland is always one of the first pieces to sell out each season. I have linked similar garlands to re-create this look! I love utilizing faux greenery year-round but especially during the holidays – it’s such a low maintenance and easy way to add an organic feel to the space. For the staircase garland, I opted to add brown velvet ribbon and vintage inspired bells for an extra natural touch!
There’s something about this space that feels so inviting and perfectly suited for the holidays, and it’s quickly become my favorite spot to enjoy. While I love the centerpiece on the table and the carefully arranged decor throughout the room, my absolute favorite feature is this black arched cabinet. I’ve filled it with an array of holiday treasures—pinecones, reindeer figurines, and a variety of Christmas tree decorations. It’s a collection of pieces that bring the season to life, each one adding its own touch of joy and personality.
Even the dining room has a little touch of holiday magic this year. I kept the decor simple yet elevated, with a few carefully chosen pieces that tie into the overall theme of my home. A beautiful wreath hangs in front of a piece of wall art that stays there year round, bringing a subtle nod to the season. The console table is home to a few decor pieces as to not overwhelm the space. This reindeer candle holder is one of my favorite decor pieces – it reminds me of how the smallest details can truly transform a space for the holidays.
For the office this holiday season, I chose to take a more understated approach, focusing on small touches rather than making big changes. There’s nothing dramatic in this room, only a few carefully placed holiday accents that add a subtle seasonal feel. On the back accent wall, I added a few simple decor pieces that hint at the holidays. The overall effect is a space that feels thoughtfully decorated, yet not overly done. It’s a gentle reminder that you don’t have to go all out with decorating in every room—sometimes, the smallest details make the most lasting impact.
I decided to add a few holiday touches to this cozy sitting corner in my office. For the mirror, I draped a short strand of garland that wraps around the frame, bringing that organic Christmas cheer to the space. On the side table, I placed a small arrangement of brass decorative presents. These little details create a inviting, approachable atmosphere that feels perfectly in tune with the season. All the while maintaining this rooms peaceful and uncluttered vibe.
My kitchen is all dressed up for the holidays! Mini wreaths hang on each of the bar stools with a velvet ribbon bow tied at the top. A few marble Christmas tree decor pieces add a modern twist, while holiday stems in a woven vase bring an organic touch. The combination of textures and subtle seasonal accents creates a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for holiday cooking and gatherings.
When it comes to my living room, everything naturally revolves around the centerpiece of the space—my Christmas tree. It truly sets the tone for the entire room, with its dusty blue and brown decorations. With such a bold and beautiful tree as the focal point, I didn’t feel the need to go overboard with decorating the rest of the space. My living room already has its fair share of statement pieces, so I kept things simple and balanced. To complement the tree, I added a few understated touches- holiday stems and a lush garland to bring in a bit of greenery and texture. A decorative bowl on the coffee table serves as a subtle, yet eye-catching addition. The result is a living room that feels both seasonal and carefully curated, where each piece enhances the other without feeling too busy or overdone.
I wanted to take a closer look at a few holiday accents throughout our home. Our recent kitchen remodel left me feeling inspired this holiday season. It may seem silly but a space never feels complete until a holiday candle has been lit. I even wanted to share our family’s beloved elf on the shelf, Jingles. Every year, he brings a little extra magic and mischief to our home, making the holiday season even more special. I hope my holiday home tour has left you feeling inspired and has spread Christmas cheer. I would love to see how YOU decorate your home for the holidays!
Thoughtful & Affordable | DIY Host Gifts Under $50
With the holiday season fast approaching, it feels like there’s always another gathering to attend. And as much as I love the festive fun, I’ve found myself struggling to come up with the perfect gift to bring to each event. With so many parties on the calendar, I’ve been on the hunt for holiday DIY host gifts that are both budget-friendly and sure to be a hit. After plenty of searching, I think I’ve found some winners! Keep reading for my top picks for hostess gifts that are sure to impress this holiday season!
When it comes to holiday hostess gifts, striking the perfect balance is key. You want something that is holiday-themed and thoughtful, but also practical enough that your host will actually use it. The trick is to choose gifts that incorporate a holiday touch—think seasonal patterns, shapes, and accents—while still being functional. Whether it’s a chic serving dish or a holiday towel, the goal is to give something that blends holiday cheer with everyday utility. That way, your gift won’t only be admired—it’ll be enjoyed long after the season ends.
A simple yet beautiful way to elevate any gift is by adding a bow! For this one, I chose a holiday-themed tea towel to bring a touch of seasonal spirit to the package, while also making it functional. I know bows can be tricky to get just right, but here’s a foolproof method anyone can follow. Start by folding your tea towel(you can also use a ribbon) to your desired width. Lay it flat and fold the ends inward to overlap, as shown in the image above. Then, take a cute piece of string or thread and tie it tightly in the center to secure the bow. And just like that, you have a beautiful, polished touch to complete your gift!
I came across this beautiful Christmas tree-shaped charcuterie board and instantly knew this gift would revolve around it. To complement the board, I added these cheese board utensils as a thoughtful accessory. I placed them in a simple, neutral-colored bag and attached both the bag and the bow to the tree, giving the whole setup a effortless, holiday feel.
When choosing a hostess gift, I like to start with one standout piece that can serve as the foundation for the rest of the gift. For this one, I selected a neutral marble tray as the base. I then paired it with a Christmas dish towel and a set of minimalist soap dispensers. While these individual items might not seem extravagant on their own, together they create a thoughtful and practical gift that’s both cute and useful for any host!
To add a little flair to this DIY host gift, I included a simple scrubbing brush and finished it off with a simple twine bow. These extra touches gave the gift a more polished, visually pleasing look—without breaking the bank! What I love most about this gift is that it’s something everyone can use (because, let’s face it, we all have to tackle the dishes!).
This DIY gift idea is wonderfully easy to recreate, making it the perfect solution for those last-minute gifting moments. If you’re pressed for time and need something meaningful yet effortless, this option is ideal! The beauty of it is that all the items are easy to find, and the assembly can be done quickly, even in a hurry. It’s the perfect choice for anyone seeking both convenience and a personal touch, without compromising on style.
One of my absolute favorite finds on this search is this snowman marble slab. It adds some uniqueness to any holiday gift. Whether used to serve appetizers, desserts, or as a decorative piece, this gift combines both practicality and holiday cheer. This is such a thoughtful way to spread Christmas joy while offering something your host will use for years to come.
Adding something edible to your DIY host gift is always an amazing idea! To pair with my marble snowman tray, a warm loaf of bread seemed like the perfect choice. The similar shapes of the tray and the loaf complemented each other beautifully. I wrapped the bread in a minimalist bread bag that fit this aesthetic perfectly. A quick note—be mindful of any dietary restrictions, as some guests may not be able to enjoy this treat. Still, it’s a thoughtful and heartwarming addition that’s sure to bring a smile to any host!
Now, it’s time to add a few special accessories to complete the gift! I chose brown ribbon to tie everything together, enhancing the rustic, organic feel of the presentation. To complement the loaf of bread, I added a vintage brass bell and a bottle of premium olive oil—perfect for drizzling over the bread or using in a cozy holiday meal. The result was a gift that’s not only visually stunning but also FULL of flavor, offering both beauty and taste in one thoughtful package. It’s a practical yet sophisticated gift that’s sure to impress any host!
A snowman-shaped bread board, paired with a fresh loaf of bread, makes for a delightful and unique holiday hostess gift. The whimsical bread board adds a playful touch to any kitchen, while the loaf of bread offers a comforting treat. To completing the gift with a small bottle of olive oil, creates a perfect pair for the loaf. This thoughtful combination is both practical and stylish, offering the host a gift they can enjoy immediately and for many gatherings to come.
100 Cookies is one of my go-to gifts for the holidays, especially for anyone who loves to bake or enjoys a sweet treat now and then. This cookbook is filled with a delicious mix of classic cookie recipes and fun, creative twists that are perfect for holiday gatherings. I love how it offers something for bakers of all levels—whether your host is a seasoned pro or loves baking during the season. It’s a thoughtful and practical gift that will bring plenty of joy (and delicious cookies) long after the holidays are over.
I wanted to add a few essentials to go along with the cookbook, that the recipient is sure to use! After all, when it comes to baking, two things come up in nearly every recipe: measuring and stirring. To complement the 100 Cookies cookbook, I included a set of measuring spoons and a pair of heart-shaped wooden spoons. These accessories are sure to make every baking session feel a little more special. With these tools, your host will be all set to create delicious treats!
I think what I love most about this gift ideas is that it’s also something that will be appreciated and used throughout the year. Whether your friend is baking cookies for a gathering or enjoying a quiet afternoon in the kitchen, this gift is bound to be a cherished addition to their routine. It’s the perfect blend of holiday spirit and lasting practicality, making it a gift that keeps on giving long after the season ends.
Holiday treats are one of my favorite go-to hostess gifts, and for good reason. There’s something so special about giving a batch of homemade cookies, Christmas bark, or a festive and fresh loaf of bread—it’s a simple way to share a little bit of holiday joy. What I love most is that these treats show your host how much you care and give them something to enjoy with guests or savor later. It’s such a sweet, personal way to express gratitude, and it always feels like a little piece of holiday cheer wrapped up in a gift.
Homemade cookies are the perfect bonus to this gift idea. Whether you stick with the classic chocolate chip cookies or embrace the spirit of the season with gingerbread men, homemade treats never fail to impress. There’s something special about the warmth and love that goes into baking, and adding these sweet creations to your gift not only makes it more personal but also shows the thought and effort you’ve put into it. These delicious, homemade goodies bring an extra layer of joy, making your gift feel even more heartfelt and truly one-of-a-kind.

Whether you fill them with treats or leave them empty for your host to use, they make a lovely add on to your sweet treats. Their transparent design allows them to effortlessly blend with any kitchen décor, while also offering storage space. These jars can hold everything from pantry essentials to small kitchen gadgets, making them a gift that is sure to be used!
A homemade loaf of bread is a wonderful DIY host gift that combines care and simplicity. Gifting a holiday loaf will be remembered, as the loaf will fill the entire house with such delicious aromas.

A beautiful way to package your homemade loaf of bread for the holiday season is by wrapping it in parchment paper for a rustic, cozy feel. Next, place it in a cheerful holiday towel to add a touch of spirit, and tie it all together with twine for an elegant finish. To make it even more special, add a few sprigs of holiday greenery like rosemary or pine to bring a fresh, seasonal touch. This lovely presentation not only makes your gift look stunning but also enhances the cozy and inviting feel of the homemade treat inside.

Holiday mantel styling is one of my favorite parts of this season. There are so many different ways to style a mantel especially when greenery is involved but I love achieving an earthy and organic look. In our home, this holiday mantel easily becomes the centerpiece of the room! I wanted to share a few tips I have learned throughout the years of decorating our home for the holiday season. Keep scrolling for a step-by-step guide to how I styled my mantel!
Garland is an easy yet stunning base for your mantel during the holidays. Whether you choose fresh or faux, there are countless options—from pine to cedar, and green to gold—that instantly add texture and warmth to your space. I started my holiday mantel styling with one 180′ long Norfolk Pine Garland (high sell out risk, don’t wait!) Drape it along the edge of the mantel or loop it around your fireplace—it doesn’t have to be perfect! We’ll be adding on more layers so don’t worry if you’re a little unsure at first.
Pro tip: opt for heavyweight damage free adhesive hooks, you don’t want to underestimate how heavy those garlands can be!
Layering garland is a fantastic way to create depth and dimension when decorating your mantel for the holidays. You started styling your mantel with a full garland as your base. Now, you can build on that by adding smaller, complementary pieces—such as a second layer of a different texture, or a mix of greenery. I added another 180′ long Norfolk Pine Garland, three real touch eucalyptus garland, and two 60″ Norfolk Pine garlands for fullness. By layering different elements, you make your mantel more visually interesting and full of style. The great thing about garland is that it’s multi-functional, so feel free to experiment and create a style that’s all your own!
Very similar to fashion, accessories tie your entire holiday mantel together! Now that you have your layers of garland as a starting point, you can begin incorporating a mix of textures and materials into it. You can use things like berries, pinecones, and lights to break up the greenery and give your garland extra depth! For my holiday mantel, I added a few light brown pine cone branches, soft velvet ribbon, and vintage bells with a touch of a sparkle to maintain my earthy, organic vibe but still giving it a little character. The key is to layer accessories thoughtfully, balancing bold pieces with subtle ones and enhancing your theme.
Once your garland is looking full of holiday spirit, it’s time to bring out your favorite holiday pieces! Try to stay within the theme you chose for your garland. You’ll want to fill the remaining space on your mantel with decor items that create a cohesive and balanced look. To achieve an overall natural and organic look, I chose to showcase matching honeycomb style paper trees. Would you believe me if I told you the paper trees on the floor are actually from Walmart? The key with tying everything together is to strike a balance between visual interest and simplicity. You want your holiday mantel to look curated but not too cluttered!
Styling your mantel for the holidays is a fun and creative way to bring all of the holiday cheer to your living room. By starting with a beautiful garland and layering it with compatible textures, accessories, and decor, you can build a mantel that feels unique to you. Follow these steps to turn your mantel into a beautiful focal point that adds comfort, style, and a genuine holiday feel to your home. Whether you opt for my organic and earthy style or a classic red-and-green look, the possibilities are endless!
As the holidays approach, styling these small spaces, like your mantel, can make your home feel festive and fun. Give these holiday mantel decorating tips a try, and see how fun it is to bring your living space some holiday spirit. Happy styling!

It seems the best greenery pieces are the first to sell out every season. They are certainly an investment piece but it is absolutely worth it, you can style them throughout your home for many holiday seasons to come!
Filling a textured bowl with seasonal finds is an easy way to slowly infuse your home with the holiday spirit. Especially if you are a firm believer in celebrating all holidays that come before Christmas. I love how the frosted pinecones and shiny gold bells, paired with a bit of holiday greenery, make for an eye-catching centerpiece. It brings the perfect touch of warmth to any space in your home!
One of my all-time favorite parts of holiday decor has to be the winter greenery! It finds its way into every nook and cranny of my home. From garlands and wreaths to pinecones and evergreen branches, it’s notonly greenery; it brings that festive cheer that turns the ordinary into something special. I must warn you though… this garland sells out FAST! I have linked similar pieces that are a very high sell-out risk as well. Don’t wait too long to grab them!
Getting your home ready for the holidays is all about finding those chic and cozy essentials that make it feel welcoming! Drape a faux fur throw blanket over the sofa and chairs and add an extra layer of comfort with a few plush throw pillows. These faux fur blankets sold out FAST last season and for good reason.

Pro tip: faux fur throw blankets and pillows transition perfectly into your winter decor after the Holidays.

To finish, I included candle holders with flameless candles, providing a warm, cozy glow without the risk of real flames. This combination effortlessly blends style with practicality and proves that you can achieve a polished look while staying budget-conscious!
A great way to incorporate extra seating is with a sofa chair. I placed mine in the corner for a chic and functional touch, making it the perfect spot to unwind.

Keep your nightstand simple but stylish. To avoid clutter, stick to just a few key decor pieces. I chose a classic nightstand and added a wooden lamp for a touch of warmth.
