Whether it’s your turn to treat your friends and family members to a memorable Christmas party this year, or you like to deck the halls for the Christmas season, there are some items that should top your holiday shopping list. These are the decor items that make the difference between a warm and magical Christmas experience, and a completely dull festive season:

1. Personalized Christmas stockings
We all love Christmas stockings, but this Christmas you cannot settle for the typical red and white fur trimmed stocking. Take it up a notch by adding a personalized touch to your stockings to give them more meaning. Choose photos, full names, initials, or even something cute for the family pet!

2. LED Christmas string lights
It’s unimaginable to celebrate Christmas without the tiny LED string lights, no matter how well-lit your house is. This is therefore an item you cannot afford to miss on your Christmas list. From clear white, multicolored to special color effects bulbs, there’s a wide range for you to choose from.

3. Artificial Christmas trees
While this is an obvious item, and a spot to place your holiday gifts for Christmas morning. Before selecting your tree, measure your space, be precise with color, and have fun decorating your tree in the days leading up to the big day.

4. Garlands
These are perfect for the tree, stairs, fireplace, window or table. You can find different designs that feature foliage, flowers, holly, and twinkling lights to create that magical ambience in your home. This year, there are many awesome garland designs to choose from, including tinsel, beads and pre-lit and scented garlands.

5. Nativity scenes
You also need to have a nicely set up nativity set in a prominent place to remind everyone what Christmas means. For many families, the manager scene represents the birth of Jesus Christ.

6. Door wreaths
To establish a true Christmas ambience in your home, you need to hang a wreath on your door. This item represents the crown of thorns Jesus wore on the cross, and will show everyone that you are inviting Christ’s spirit into your home.

7. Dancing Santa
To make your house feel complete, you should also consider including a dancing Santa piece that contains both sound and motion. It is always lovely to watch Santa dance, talk and play songs during Christmas.

8. Inflatable lawn ornaments
Do you want your Christmas season to be truly memorable? If so, then don’t shy from being the talk of the neighborhood by having your decorations set up easily and quickly with inflatable Christmas ornaments. These ornate ornaments resemble Christmas tree ornaments. Anchor them to your lawn or hang them from your tree for the most effect.

9. Holiday tea towels
Kitchen towels are a must have during the Christmas season with all that festive cooking and baking. Holiday tea towels on display are the perfect way to flaunt your Christmas spirit.

10. Festive candles
Christmas festive candles are some of the best items to get everyone in the Christmas mood, owing to their lovely, nostalgic scents of freshly baked cookies, pine, fresh snow, and eggnog. The good thing is that you have many types of festive candles to choose from, each with its own distinctive festive scent.
