Sometimes simple things are enough to create a festive atmosphere: a postcard, garland, hot cocoa, a chocolate cake on a beautiful plate, or a new dress with sequins. Such “helpers” are especially relevant this year. 2021 was not easy, but we learned a lot from it. About the importance of home and comfort, the need to support loved ones and pamper yourself.
We share a selection of things that will definitely help bring the holidays closer to those who are waiting for the celebrations and festivities’ magic:
Wooden plate
A tree fits perfectly into this whole Christmas and holiday story: pine needles, cones, gold and silver, candles, and garlands. Choosing wooden utensils and accessories, you will create a special atmosphere on the holiday table: warm, sincere, and ambient. It is also important that after the holidays’ such things do not have to be hidden away along with Christmas decorations: wooden utensils can (and should!) be used in everyday life, making every breakfast or lunch more atmospheric and enjoyable.

Toys
Themed Christmas toys will never lose their relevance: we will buy and give them away every year to remind each other of the holiday spirit, faith in miracles, and just to feel nice. We advise you to choose wooden figures of angels or characters of the Christmas nativity scene, hand-painted can often be found locally – they will look good in the home and create a special mood. And what else do you need for the holidays?

Candles
Stock up before the holidays! At this time, it is so cozy to have a live fire to enjoy long, late-night conversations around. And in addition to the usual candles, be sure to buy perfumed – many brands create Christmas aromas, adding notes of chocolate or nutmeg, citrus or star anise, incense, or cypress. Choose to your liking and enjoy each day festively.

Wreath
Scenes from your favorite Christmas movie; saved pictures on Pinterest, or saved DIY tutorials- you’ve definitely thought about a wreath for the door of your home. And now is the perfect time to embrace this idea! Share your festive mood with your neighbors with a wreath of pine needles and dried flowers. You can do it yourself, or you can buy from professional florists or decor shops.

Porcelain mugs
There are things that cannot be changed. We always drink our morning coffee, water, or tea. And this ritual will set the mood for the whole day. So we advise you to find the perfect cup with holiday motifs right now: as soon as you wake up, you will already be singing Let it Snow. Festive mugs will also come in handy as a gift: an elegant porcelain cup with delicate snowflakes, for example.

Ceramic plate
And another pottery story: before the holidays, be sure to buy a New Year’s set of plates and dishes. With needles, cones, tangerines, or cute animals. Of these, it is simply impossible to eat in a non-festive mood! And as an additional New Year’s decor, they also work. We bet you’ll soon want linen napkins with snowflakes, a tablecloth and… here’s Christmas magic for you!

Slip Dress
The house is filled with the holiday mood, now it’s time to take care of yourself. The first thing to buy (if you haven’t already) in 2021 is a slip dress. The most necessary thing at a time when we all work, have fun, dance, and go on dates at home half of the time. It’s a wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down. You can be a little bit bolder this year and get a slip dress in a bold color. Wearing a comfy slip dress, you can lie on the couch with a book, watch “It’s a Wonderful Life”, and invite guests over. Or add a warm fluffy sweater and go drink cocoa at your favorite coffee shop.

Sequin skirt
Yes, lush, multi-tiered, crazy, completely filled with sequins skirt! It’s a showstopper that will look great on everyone- mothers on mat-leave, businesswomen, engineers and actresses, managers, and saleswomen. Perfect for those who have just finished school, and for those who will soon have grandchildren: we all need such a skirt and an uncompromising holiday to finally balance all the worries of 2021.

Decorative Lights
What could be more festive than sparklers and bright lights? Bring the sparkle indoor for the whole winter season with decorative firework lights. Lights are not just for the Christmas tree, they are a great element of decor that can be incorporated in creative ways. These beautiful firework sparkle lights make us want to cheers with champagne already!

Socks
Socks are a holiday wardrobe classic. But let’s leave the snowmen and deer for cuddling at home. This new year we want to be elegant, seductive, and lively. That’s why we chose sexy mesh socks with metallic lurex: they will perfectly complement any holiday outfit, especially appropriate if it’s a house party where you take off your outdoor shoes.

Earrings
This is the “last touch” that will elevate your looks into a festive mood. Even a simple black turtleneck will want to sing along to Sinatra’s hits along with these earrings. The shimmering silver “fringe” will add an undeniable sparkle to your smile.
