Christmas is quickly approaching, and you want your home to reflect your spirit of loving hospitality. No doubt you’ve already put up your favorite decorations, but a few finishing touches might be just what your space needs. And it’s easier than you think – even small additions can have big impacts. For some quick final touches, try a few of our easy solutions to help you welcome your friends and family for the holidays – now with some great savings happening in the store too.
The Doorstep
A festive doorstep shows your guests how glad you are to see them – even before you open the door. If your porch planter is sitting empty, fill it with an inviting arrangement of fragrant fresh-cut wintergreen boughs and outdoor-friendly decorations. To keep things really easy, pick up a pre-made wintergreen planter – designed by our team and ready to drop right in your planter. Or you can create your own custom design too. Stop in and talk with our Container Design team for all our best tips and ideas.
For even more of that lovely evergreen scent, grab a fresh wreath for the door too. If you like, we’ll add a bow before you go. And to complete your look, don’t forget a cheerful new door mat. Find fun and durable coir doormats in our store – with several seasonal styles featuring classic patterns, natural botanicals, and whimsical themes too.
Holiday Fragrance
With all the beautiful sights to enjoy at Christmas time, it’s easy to forget that fragrance has an important part to play in our experience too. Carry that fresh wintergreen scent from the doorstep into your home by wrapping a banister in a fresh-cut garland, arranging a few boughs along the mantel, or setting a fresh centerpiece on the dining table. Candles are another way to set a seasonal ambiance. Whether you prefer traditional holiday scents like cinnamon and evergreen or you’d like to try something lighter, you’ll find the perfect one among our collection of botanical-inspired, hand-poured candles and potpourri.
The Christmas Tree
For many of us, the Christmas tree is the centerpiece of our holiday decorating, and a get-together is a great opportunity to give it a fresh update. Add new texture and fullness by tucking a few new lifelike evergreen boughs, icy branches, or colorful florals throughout the branches. Try a wide decorative ribbon, placed as though it’s weaving naturally in and out of the tree. Then add a few coordinating ornaments – like an assortment of shining icicles or one-of-a-kind Radko ornament – to tie everything together.

Table Settings + Serveware
Sharing a meal is the highlight of any holiday gathering, and a fresh set of seasonal table linens, napkins, and tea towels are just the thing to spread the cheer through the kitchen and onto the table as well. For those cherished recipes – like your famous casserole or Grandma’s sugar cookies – present them in a new way with holiday-inspired serving dishes too.
A Space to Lounge
When the dishes are done, and the presents are opened, it’s time to sit back and enjoy each other’s company. A few cozy pillows and throws give everyone a comfortable place to share memories and discuss the day’s events – the whimsical themes on some of the pillows may even start conversations of their own.
