The Christmas tree is the centerpiece of holiday decor. Whether you prefer a real evergreen or a pre-lit artificial one, it becomes a canvas for your creativity. Here are the essentials that make your tree shine:

  • Ornaments: From classic glass baubles to personalized keepsakes, ornaments reflect your family’s style and memories. Mix textures like glitter, matte, and metallic for visual interest.

  • Tree Toppers: The finishing touch that crowns your tree. Angels, stars, or even modern metallic shapes can set the tone for your entire theme.

  • Tree Skirts: These elegant wraps hide the base of your tree and add a polished and put-together layer. Choose from quilted, faux fur, or patterned designs.

  • Tree Picks and Sprays: Decorative accents like glittery branches, colorful berries, or festive flowers tucked into the tree add dimension and personality.

A beautifully decorated tree is a centerpiece that anchors your holiday decor and captures the spirit of the season.
