Christmas Style Ideas and Gift Guides for Festive Season

HHello, friends! Are you feeling festive yet? I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. I keep spotting Christmas decorations all over Instagram and trees strapped to cars around Seattle. We’re a little behind at our house, so the photo above is from last year, but we’ve been listening to holiday music all weekend and today we pulled out our first decorations. Progress!

I have a few seasonal ideas and resources to share that might inspire you—whether you want something simple or a bit more sparkly.

If you’re hunting for a wreath, a tree, tree skirts, ornaments, or other holiday decor, there’s a charming shop with thoughtfully curated seasonal pieces. You can visit the shop from the banner below.

Looking for gift ideas? Each year we assemble a set of inspired gift guides to help you find the perfect present for everyone on your list. Browse the gift guides by following the banner below.

What’s your Christmas style? At our house we tend toward a simple aesthetic, but I never want minimalism to crowd out the wonder of the season. I try to look at the holidays through a child’s eyes—even though we don’t have little ones around anymore—which often nudges me to add a bit more sparkle or a special decoration than I otherwise would. That little extra magic helps bring everyone into the Christmas spirit.
