Christmas Tree
Some Christmas trees come with storage bags, but not all. And sometimes those free storage bags aren't the best quality. This bag can fit a tree up to 7.5 ft. It resists tears, water and mildew.

Everything I've recommended across the site, in one place. These are the things I bought, used in my own house, and would tell a friend about — not a catalogue.

Ornament storage can be more expensive, which might make you want to skip out on getting something to protect your breakable ornaments.
When it comes to wreath storage, I really prefer hard cases like this plastic option. They do a better job of protecting your greenery and keeping your decorative accents safe.
I like to protect the rest of my decor (wall hangings, small trees, etc) just like my ornaments and greenery so I use plastic storage boxes to organize everything.
It took me forever to find a wooden tiered tray that wasn't insanely expensive. Seriously, I saw one on Amazon for over $75! I came across this one on sale at Hobby Lobby and, as of now, it's still on sale!
Mine was actually an ornament from Hobby Lobby and it was on sale, so I got it really cheap! It's long gone now, so I've linked this little wood one instead.
How cute is this tiny truck?! Mine was also a Hobby Lobby ornament that isn't around anymore, so here's the closest one I could find.
We use Starbucks hot chocolate k-cups, so this is essential for our cocoa bar! I also got really tired of having boxes of k-cups sitting out, so I found this and it has become one of my favorite things.
This is kind of the number one essential (even though it's at number six?) since you need something to make your hot cocoa! This is the Keurig we have and it's amazing.

One thing that always comes to mind when I think of classic Christmas is red ball ornaments. I still use the glass ball ornaments from my childhood!
You can usually get poinsettias at any grocery store during the holidays, but if you have a cat or dog you might want to grab an artificial arrangement. These are definitely a must for this decor style.
Velvet ribbon is perfect for gifts, garland, wreaths, and anything else you might want to add ribbon to. Getting wired ribbon is always your best bet because it gives you a lot more to work with and mold.
I mean does anything say traditional or classic Christmas like SANTA? I don't think so. A few good Santa figurines hanging around will give the perfect touch to your classic Christmas look this holiday season.
Advent Calendars are one of my favorite things about Christmas, so I'm going to include them for each design style.
A flocked tree adds the perfect touch to a farmhouse Christmas, but I also love a tree that has pinecones added in. You can buy one that already has them or you can add them yourself.
Nothing says "farmhouse" like decor with "farm fresh" quotes. And it can be so many different things! Pillows, signs, dishes, etc. There are really so many possibilities.
How cute are these vintage trucks on all this decor?! And the trucks are another thing that has so much variety and can be used on so many different pieces.
Burlap, plaid and buffalo check are three are the main components of farmhouse Christmas decor. These stockings include two of those! I love these because they also have little jingle bells to add a little touch of fun.
One thing that never fails to show up in farmhouse Christmas decor is cozy throw blankets! And who doesn't love those?! I know I do. I'm pretty sure I could never have enough of them.
I've included two advent calendars that fit the farmhouse style because you might want one that looks a little nicer than the vintage truck.
The glam Christmas decor style is the perfect style for heavily flocked trees like this one! For a more budget friendly flocked tree, here's a great option.
Any Glam tree will have a mix of metallics. It the metallic colors look amazing up against the white of a flocked tree. This rose gold ornament set includes 72 assorted ornaments with different finishes.
If you chose a heavily flocked or white tree, these faux fur ornaments will really pop! And using Faux fur stockings like these, instead of the usual stocking styles, is a great way to extend this design style past your…
The faux fur in this design style makes everything feel so cozy to me. And coziness is so important during Winter and the holidays! So I love adding in little faux fur accents wherever I can.
Speaking of glitter...you can never have too much with a glam Christmas! This sparkly nutcracker is giving me icy wonderland vibes that fit perfect with this decor style.
For all the other decor styles I included an advent calendar that could be customized and include whatever you like. Candles seemed like the perfect fit for a glam Christmas though!
This style is all about aluminum trees and if you want to stay true to the style, get a bare tree like this one pictured above.
Okay, so this isn't *technically* a tree topper. But I rarely use an actual tree topper on my tree! All you have to do is get some wire, tie it on, and you're good to go.
One of my favorite things to change for Christmas are my throw pillows. These colorful retro pillow covers are perfect to match mid century modern decor this Christmas.
Candles are one of the most popular Christmas decorations and these candle holders are the perfect addition to your mid century modern Christmas decor!
The silver tree and vintage style ornaments are probably the most important parts of this style. I absolutely love this style of ornaments! The good news is, you don't have to buy expensive vintage ones anymore.
The actual vintage deer from this time period are pretty expensive. I was lucky enough to find some a few years ago for only a few dollars!
And last, but certainly not least, lots of tinsel detail! If you decided to skip the silver tree, you can still add in the tinsel or silver garland.
How cute are these little guys?! Gnomes are everywhere in Scandinavian Christmas decor and from what I understand, it all goes back to the legend of Nisse and the Tomte.
Natural woods and fibers are staples in Scandinavian Christmas decor. These snowflakes are perfect for a Christmas tree, to add to a wall garland, or hang in a window. They could even be used as stocking accents.
The great thing about the Scandinavian style is that it's very minimalistic. So if you want to get stockings that are very on theme, you can.
More natural fibers! Wool garland is one of my favorite things from the Scandinavian style and I am absolutely in LOVE with this one! It keeps the neutral tones, but has jingle bells to add a fun vibe to it.
Okay, advent calendars aren't completely necessary...but I love them! And these two double as perfect decor for a Scandinavian style Christmas with their unfinished wood. I love the tiny accents of gold on this one.
Home Depot is definitely a more expensive option, but if you want something pre-made this is a great place to go.
Like Home Depot, Lowes has some great pre-made items. But their items that aren't decorated are much more reasonably priced. So if you want a fresh wreath or garland, this is one of your best options!
Getting fresh greenery straight from the Christmas tree farm is something you can do whether you live close to one or not! Harbor Farm is just one of many farms that ship for the holidays.
