Celebrating those we love is the best part of the entire holiday season. It’s a magical time when you’re able to show those you are closest to just how much they mean to you. But this can be a very stressful task to take on as well. Because you are going to want everything to be perfect. What exactly would show your bestie just how much they mean to you? And you don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute to get something they absolutely love.

We are here to help you find a unique holiday gift that’s perfect for your best friend.

1.    For the New Mama Bear

Did your best friend recently bring a new bundle of joy into the world? Get them something that shows them how much they’re loved for being a new mom . You can get them an embroidered sweater and one for their little one to match. They’ll love having something custom made that lets them show off their little mini-me. It will also make for the most adorable photos.

2.    For the DIY Dinner Party Queen

We all have a friend who is the hostess with the mostess. But how can you get her something as unique as she is when she’s the one always thinking of the perfect little touches. This is a job for DIY! Get crafty and make her some candle and flower centerpieces. Incorporate her favorite flower and maybe even paint the pot with some fun designs. She’ll be absolutely entranced and so grateful to have the perfect centerpieces for all of her garden dinner parties.

3.    For the Clean Girl (Who Takes It Beyond An Aesthetic)

You know exactly who I am talking about. Her home is spotless, her outfits are impeccable, and she has sanitizer wherever she goes. She’s the ideal in cleanliness and hygiene. So what can you get a girl who knows how to clean just about everything? UV device sanitizers ensure that one of our most used objects, our phones, are free from any germs or bacteria that may have found a new home. She’ll be grateful to have something that makes her phone just as clean as everything else in her world.

4.    For the Tough One

Got a tough girl or guy in your life? Are they the one you go to when you need someone strong (and maybe a little scary!) to hide behind? This customizable paperweight is the perfect thing for them to show off just how tough they are. These are solid brass, sturdy, and sure to make an impression.

5.    For The Work From Anywhere Queen

Do you know someone whose computer is their whole life? And are they always on the go? Toting it around to work in coffee shops, bars, libraries, and wherever they can catch a wifi signal? They absolutely need the security that a lock adaptor can bring. Be sure to help them protect their computer and keep their remote work game going strong.

6.    For the Christmas Elf

We all have that friend who is crazy about Christmas. The moment Halloween is over she breaks out the tinsel and lights and is ready to go. Check out a customizable Christmas sweater that she will want to break out the second she can. There is no better way to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

7.    For the Crafty One

Do you have a friend who can’t keep their hands still? They always have a pair of knitting needles or a crochet hook ready to go? Get them some nice yarn, a new pair of needles, and find a cool pattern and put them all together in a nice basket. They will be so happy that you’ve given them something nice that they can spend quality time on.

Show Love on the Holidays

The holidays are the best time to show your loved ones how much they mean to you. And by giving them something thoughtful you are showing them that you really know them very deeply. The holidays bring out the best in all of us. It starts getting cozier, people focus on those they hold dear, and practice gratitude. Your best friend has been by your side supporting you and showing you love, and this is your chance to show them how much they mean to you. The best gifts aren’t fancy or flashy, the best gifts simply come from the heart.

Leaf Wreath

asdadsasThis wreath is so easy to make. Use a dry cleaners coat hanger and bend into a circle leaving the top part that goes over the rod as is. Untwist the area of neck. Push undried leaves through and fill the circle. Twist back together and you can now use the the part that goes over the rod as a hanger. It is suggested that a few light coats of polyurethane be added – this will keep the leaves from crumbling. To change up the look – cover with a thick coat of spray paint.

Valentines Day – red

Halloween – black

St. Patrick’s Day – green

Memorial Day/Fourth Of July – red, white, blue

Easter – pink, white, light blue, light green

Top your design with a coordinating bow tied to the top of your wreath!

Decorate the house to give it a festive mood

During the holiday season, everyone wants to spend more time at home with people close to their hearts. We feel the need to see and feel more joy in the world and we are eager to transform our home into a perfectly developed festive environment in which our family and friends might feel like part of a fairytale. This is a good feeling and a nice way of relieving stress and bringing joy into our life.

Purchasing the Christmas tree and decorating it together with family members and friends is a special way of spending quality time and feeling what the holiday spirit is all about. Even making purchases is more pleasant during this time of the year because we buy items that help us decorate the house in a fun way and this gives us joy.

Not only the Christmas tree can be perfectly decorated for the holiday season but also the entire house to transform it into the perfect environment for the holidays. Purchase attractive decoration items or choose to do some yourself and give your home a festive look for the big parties you have planned for this season.

 

Find inspiration online and in magazines

If you want something really special in terms of decorations this year and do not know how to proceed or have too many ideas and you do not know how to organize these, it is always a great idea to find inspiration online or in gorgeous magazines that create special pictures for us to admire.

Sometimes just simple adorning touches can bring a powerful change of atmosphere and make your home feelmore festive and really bright. This will make it the perfect place where everyone will like to gather and spend a great time together telling funny stories, waiting for Santa or finding new ways of having fun. You can decorate the entire house in a customized manner from the front door to the mantel and bring the magical spirit of the holidays in your neighborhood.

All you need is to find unique ways in which to use even the simplest elements or items you have purchased to give your home a festive look. How about transforming the simplest holiday greetings into art just by displaying these in a unique manner? You can use a magnetic bulletin board for example in which to display your favorite seasonal cards and create a great environment for new magical memories. Just let your creative side free and start having fun rotating these in, around and out.

 

Have your fair share of fun with your own creativity

Decorating the house in a festive manner should be fun every single time. It is not something you do out of necessity but something that allows you to set your creativity free and create wonderful designs based on your own good taste and requirements. How about creating your own tabletop tradition this year by wrapping small, interesting gift boxes and numbering them before displaying these on a cake stand? Do not forget to include surprises into each of these boxes and just wait to see the joy on your friends’ faces when they discover their gifts.

The holiday season is all about magic, joy and creativity in everything you do. It is your time to shine this year by coming up with innovative decoration ideas and decking the halls in five minutes or less using only an effective oilcloth. Get the house ready for your guests and you will have a party worth remembering your whole life. Do not forget to turn your camera on!

Snowman Table Setting
