The holidays are such a special time of year as we think back to Christmases past – with the warmth of friends and family, favorite ornaments, and familiar scents bringing back a flood of treasured memories. Each generation passes their traditions down to the next, and we love seeing how many of you have made our store a part of building holiday memories for your own families. Whatever makes Christmas a cherished time in your home, we’re here to help bring your holiday traditions to life.
Picking the Perfect Ornament
Decorating the tree is a special event, and the ornaments hanging from its branches represent pieces of our past as well as our unique interests and style. So finding the perfect ornament for a loved one can be a favorite but sometimes difficult yearly undertaking. If gifting personalized ornaments is a holiday tradition of yours, stop in and find the perfect one for everyone on your list. Find a glass pacman arcade for the gamer in your life, ballet shoes for the aspiring ballerina, or sushi for your favorite foodie. In our Christmas collection, you’ll find over 500 styles of ornaments – rustic, sparkling, whimsical, or nostalgic – to fit any theme or interest your loved ones might have.
Capturing the Nostalgia of Christmas
Some of our most precious Christmas traditions center on the treasured collectibles that our parents and grandparents bring out each year to enjoy during the holidays. These keepsakes become part of our family history too. Maybe your grandmother has an heirloom nutcracker – brought over from Europe by her own parents. Or maybe your mom lovingly sets out her entire collection of Department 56 Snow Village pieces each year, complete with lights, snow, and the mesmerizing ice skaters circling around their pond. Perhaps one of your earliest memories is staring longingly at the ceramic Christmas tree you knew you must never touch – which now occupies a place of honor in your own home. If so, take a walk through our Christmas Shop. There, you’ll find these and many other pieces to add to a collection you may have already started – pieces that have been individually designed and crafted with care – like Byers’ Choice carolers, Christopher Radko glass ornaments, or handmade incense smokers and Christmas pyramids from German artisans. Or find beautiful pieces to start a new keepsake collection of your own.
Decorating Your Home for the Holidays
When it comes to decorating for the holidays, decking the halls means something different to everyone. For some, Christmas looks like winter in the mountains – with deep, white snow, and the natural textures of pine cones and thick evergreen needles. For others, Christmas is bright and shiny, twinkling with vivid metallic color and moving light – like a new toy. Whatever looks like Christmas to you, you’ll find the perfect ornaments, lights, ribbons, and lifelike florals to add to your home’s decor in one of our fourteen carefully curated design themes. If you’re building a new holiday collection or just want to freshen up your space this season, find tons of new design inspiration in our Christmas Shop.
Gathering with Loved Ones
Gathering together with loved ones really puts the heart in the holiday season. Whether you’re opening your home to a cozy group of your closest friends and family or you need a unique gift to thank the one who invited you, we’re here to help make any special gathering a success. Find everything you need to add extra festivity to the dinner table and home with holiday napkins, serveware, pillows, and linen tea towels. For the finishing touch, add the perfect fragrance – from our collection of Aromatique, Thymes, and Nest candles – to fill the air with the sweet, nostalgic scents of Christmas.
Visit Our Store
And of course, the holidays wouldn’t be complete without those special events that celebrate the joy of the season and our sense of community. Finding the perfect fresh-cut Christmas tree, visiting Santa and his reindeer, taking a family photo in front of our old Volkswagen – we love being a part of your Christmas traditions. And we’re excited to share another beautiful holiday season with all of you.
