Christmas Home Decoration Picks

Here are my top 8 Christmas picks for decorating your homes over the holiday season with Crate and Barrel.

Indoor-outdoor string of lights
These lights line a Christmas tree lot and are a favorite all year round for backyard bbq's to birthday parties.  Granit in Sweden sells a similar string of lights which is where I first saw them a few years back. 

Nordic Snowflake Bowls (set of 3)
Kate Forrester designed these beautiful bowls made of white porcelain.  I have a soft spot for collecting small bowls because they're so versatile.  I use mine everyday for nuts, chips, dips, candy, floating flowers, jewelry...the list is endless!

Holiday Tic-Tac-Toe Game  
How cute is this?  Wooden toy soldier game pieces are used to play a classic game of tic-tac-toe.

White Flocked Wreath
Christmas wreaths are becoming one of my favorite home decorations for the holiday season.  If you don't have time to make your own, or are second guessing whether to purchase a live wreath for the fact that it may not make it to Christmas.  This wreath is constructed of faux branches and looks fresh on any interior or exterior door.

Jingle Bell Napkin Ring
Your family & friends will be ringing these babies at the table if they mean to or not!  The sound of jingle bells will get anyone into the festive season.

Lillian Brass Metal Lantern 
This good looking pyramid antiqued brass lantern has a mirrored base for reflecting candlelight which can be either hung or placed on a flat surface, like a fireplace mantel or hearth.

Galvanized Tree Collar
Want a change from a traditional tree skirt?  No fuss when it comes to watering, clean lines and is a timeless way to display a tree!

Wooden House Ornament
Crate and Barrel teamed with nonprofit organization Rebuilding Together to create these limited-release, painted wood house ornaments that will make a difference to those in need.  For each purchase Crate and Barrel with donate $10 to Rebuilding Together.
