Christmas time can bring with it the dread or over-the-top joy of amassing lots of decorations. Conjuring the perfect design scheme to make your home stunning for the holiday can be the most stressful task of the year. However, you don’t have to be an expert decorator to transform your residence into the cozy, spirited sanctuary of your dreams, suitable for entertaining or simply creating fun family memories with your loved ones. Here are seven essential Christmas decorations to have on hand for a complete holiday look:

1. Christmas wreaths

Christmas wreaths provide the simplest way to add a warm, welcoming touch to your front exterior door, interior doors, entryway, or foyer. Or you can also add them to your interior or exterior windows for a cheerful view to those both inside and outside your property. You can also personalize them with little added touches like ribbon, faux birds, lights, acorns, poinsettias, and more! Wreaths also come in different colors and textures—everything from white feathers to pine boughs—to match your Christmas tree and other holiday decorations.

2. Monogrammed Christmas stockings

Christmas stockings added to your fireplace mantle, decorative shelf, or staircase handrails will get your home in the seasonal spirit that’s sure to instill and inspire holiday memories in both young and adult children, as well as other family members and friends year after year. Monogram Christmas stockings, like matching Christmas jammies, go a long way towards helping each family member feel like they belong. Monogram Christmas stockings also make classy employee gifts, especially if they are also personalized with a company logo or in company colors.

3. Personalized Christmas Ornaments

Personalized Christmas ornaments invoke special feelings each time they are pulled from their storage box and hung on the tree. If you are a newlywed, new parent, or have a beloved pet, consider adding a personalized Christmas ornament to your tree to be reminded of your special occasion or person each year. Employers can also use them as promotion gifts for loyal customers and employees to happily display their pride in your company. They are also more personal than simply handing out holiday gift cards, which can come off as insincere.

4. Artificial Christmas trees

Artificial Christmas trees not only resemble the look of real evergreen trees, but they also provide a safer way to enjoy the holiday without the increased risk of a fire or pets getting sick from drinking tree water. They also don’t require watering and trimming, and can be easily taken down and stored away until the next year to help save time, money, and trees.

5. LED Christmas string lights

LED string lights create a soft ambiance that makes it easier to relax in their glow. They also use less energy, which helps save on your utility bill so you can feel good while using them. Therefore, consider using them to illuminate your indoor and outdoor Christmas décor as opposed to traditional lights for their added benefits. String LED lights safely over stair railings, mantels, holiday trees, and on your front porch.

6. Dancing Santa

There is nothing like a dancing Santa to help put you in a happy holiday mood. So consider adding one to your foyer table to help lift your guests’ spirits as they enter the door for your Christmas gatherings. Dancing Santas come in all shapes and sizes, and they are usually outfitted with a holiday song to ensure the dancing is oh-so-merry!

7. Festive garland

Like LED lights, festive garland adds to the warmth of your home while also helping to tie in the look of your holiday theme. You’re also not limited to just adding it to your mantle. Fir, pine, pinecone, snowball, and feather holiday garlands can add beautiful texture to your stairways, kitchen cupboards, and around indoor and outdoor entryways and pillars. You can even use matching or contrasting garland to fill in sparse spaces in your Christmas tree.
