No matter how you style it, this bow will cheer things up. Choose from eight colors — the white and burgundy are both festive picks — and two sizes.

Endlessly flexible, this 72-inch artificial frosted cedar garland is a smart decorating buy no matter how you style it.

When it comes to holiday lights it’s never seemed like there was much divergence from the classic twinkle light variety.

End to end connectors let you string together as many strands as you like. Choose from six shades, including a cool and warm white option.
Tree skirts often get overlooked when it comes to decorating.
