‘Twas the night before Christmas when one handsome boy and one darling girl, put their most festive clothes on with a prance and a twirl. All decked out in red, cream, and gold, the sweet children were angels and did just as they’re told. In the car and off to Grandma’s they go, for a special visit from Santa, “ho, ho, ho!” After the gifts are exchanged, Mom’s homemade cookies are passed around. Snickerdoodle and thumbprints and toffee abound! Hugs and kisses for all and back home they go, for the night’s far from over, and it’s starting to snow!

With all of the gift shopping to be done for everyone else during the holiday season, it’s easy to forget about ourselves. And yes, while it is better to give than to receive, you know what it’s like being on the giving end, and when you have no idea what to gift someone, a little wish list certainly comes in handy! I love picking a few reasonably priced items that I can send to family and friends I know I’ll be getting a gift from. It’s more of a guideline than anything else, but I think these lists can be super helpful and eliminate some of the holiday stress! See what Kristy and I have on our holiday gift wish lists below.

Kristy:

• Nespresso Milk Frother – World-class cappuccino coming right up! Now Kristy can take her morning cup of coffee to the next level with this milk frother from Nespresso.
• Candle – Who doesn’t love a good candle? Kristy collects all different kinds, and this Sparkling Snow scent from Yankee Candle will permeate through her home with its fresh, crisp aroma.
• Michael Kors Watch – Kristy loves simple, sophisticated jewelry, and this sleek, stylish watch from Michael Kors will complement her accessory collection beautifully.
• Michael Kors Wallet – And to match her handbag, this Michael Kors leather trifold wallet will hold all of her cash, cards, and everyday essentials with plenty of additional storage.
• Barefoot Dreams Blanket – If you’re familiar with the brand Barefoot Dreams, then you know how amazingly soft and snuggly their products are. This throw blanket is no exception, and it would look wonderful in Kristy’s new gray and white living room.

Faith:

• Facial Roller Set – I’m allllll about skincare and any tool I can use to improve my skin is a must-have. A facial roller has been on my wish list for a while, and this set of three would be the perfect addition to my skincare routine.
• Electric Tea Kettle – I drink at least one cup of tea a day (usually more) and this gorgeous electric tea kettle will allow me to conveniently boil water and keep it hot for refills.
• Poetry Books – Reading is my absolute favorite hobby and I love a good poetry book that opens the mind and tugs at the heartstrings. Home Body, Falling Toward the Moon, and Empty Bottles Full of Stories will do exactly that.
• S’Well Water Bottle – Staying hydrated is super important to me, and I’m always sipping on water whether at home or on the go. A S’Well water bottle will keep my beverages cold (or hot!) and help me stay hydrated in style.

Kristy put together this gorgeous nativity scene herself using a statue set and accent pieces like this miniature pine tree and metal star pedestal to complete the look. She also took this tobacco basket and embellished it with this artificial cedar and pine wreath (attached with these) to create her own decorative piece. The white statues really stand out against the darker background items.

Gnomes are a group favorite and item, and this adorable plush pair found their home next to this color-coordinated wooden sign from Decocrated. Red, gray, and cream are clean, modern colors for the holiday.

This vintage Christmas truck is coming straight from the Christmas tree farm with a couple of lush green trees in tow (bonus: they light up!!). The metal, antique design adds a classic touch to any holiday decor…this is definitely a statement piece!

But wait, there’s more! How inviting does this fireplace look surrounded by holiday decor and the mantle hung with nametag-labeled cable knit stockings (with ones for the pups, too) and adorned with fresh cedar tip boughs?? I know I could spend hours cuddled up here in all the coziness!

Mr. Snowman is a friendly face with a smile that lights up as bright as the lamppost he guards, and with the help of his cardinal friends, safely guides the way back home. This little guy fits right in with the rest of the color scheme and adds a dash of personality.

Looking for a sleigh ride in the snow? Craving a cup of hot cocoa to sip on? Or maybe you just want to snuggle up next to a nice, warm fire at the ski lodge…whatever activity is on your mind, this signpost from Decocrated will point you in the right direction! This is a larger decoration that works great as a standalone piece.

Christmas trees may just be the most versatile holiday decorations out there. With so many types of trees to choose from, real or artificial, and an endless amount of ornaments and decorations to adorn it, you can really tailor your tree to showcase your individual style and personality. Whether you like classic, cutesy, or chic, making your Christmas tree your own is one of the best parts of prepping for the holidays. See our trees, and how we like to decorate them, below.

The Family Tree

This is Kristy’s family tree, and it’s her pride and joy! As a collector of Christmas ornaments, she has curated a gorgeous collection over the years and the resulting tree is a sentimental statement piece. Filled with unique ornaments that mark special moments and occasions in her and her family’s lives, her favorite thing to do is curl up with a cup of coffee and reminisce in the glow of the Christmas lights. Also, this 7.5ft tree happened to be left behind, brand new and never used, by the old owners of her house and was found one day tucked away in the back of the attic…what a lucky find!

This ornament is from Kristy’s family’s first trip to Disney this year. A replica of Cinderella’s castle and other Disney landmarks sit encased inside an iridescent glass Mickey Mouse head. This is Kristy’s favorite ornament!

This little chocolate bar is straight from Hershey Park, where Kristy’s now-husband proposed to her on the weekend of her 30th birthday. How sweet!!

As a business owner, Kristy spends a lot of her time getting work done, and her husband likes to tease her about how hard she works! This grumpy elf sings a little jingle about “taking care of business.” Very fitting.

The Kids’ Tree

Tree | Tree Collar | Bow Tree Topper

Because her family tree is carefully coordinated and decorated, Kristy also puts up a tree (this is a 6.5ft pencil tree) just for the kids so they can join in on the decorating fun! Every year, Elf on the Shelf brings her kids a box of themed goodies filled with items from their favorite characters of the moment, which includes a Christmas ornament. Spiderman, Lion King, Minnie Mouse, and Frozen have been just a few!!

This Disney castle ornament from Lenox is silver-plated, topped with 24k gold accents, and makes a beautiful addition to any tree. Embossed with the year 2021, it’s a commemoration of Kristy’s family trip to Disney this past fall.

If you’re familiar with the story of “The Polar Express,” then you know the meaning behind this bell from Santa’s sleigh! It represents the magic of Christmas and serves as a reminder to believe.

The Grinch is a holiday classic, and this ornament depicts the story of how this mischievous, misunderstood outcast from Whoville tries to steal Christmas.

This Tangled Rapunzel stained-glass ornament and this Frozen Elsa ornament (she sings!!) are both favorites of Kristy’s daughter and add fun princess magic to the kids’ tree.

The Mini Tree

Your tree doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful! I love having and decorating my own tree, but my apartment isn’t very large and I don’t have the room for a full-sized tree. I grabbed this 4.5ft pre-lit tree and I love it! I really made it my own by decking it out in black and gold (my favorite colors) and it fits perfectly in my small space without being overwhelming.

I kept the decorations simple with with these black and gray ball ornaments and gold glitter poinsetta flowers. The animal-print Mickey Mouse heads were a gift from my sister when she went to Disney years ago, but they really complement my black and gold theme, and I love the personal element they add to the tree.

All that glitters IS gold if this tree skirt is any indication! I wasn’t sure if the sequins would be too much in a small space, but I got a smaller skirt (36″) and I am obsessed with it. The sequins add some fun sparkle, and it looks gorgeous glittering under the lights of the tree at night.
