Last month, we introduced a new monthly blog that features five picks from The Christmas Gals. As we write this piece, we are just three months out from Christmas. That’s right – THREE MONTHS!
Don’t hit the panic button yet. In the coming weeks, The Christmas Gals will kick into action with decorating and celebration ideas. Here are five for you to this month!
Add instant Christmas charm with these festive chair covers. Spotted on Amazon, these stretchy covers will fit most dining room chairs and can match any décor with holiday themes of snowmen, snowflakes, reindeer and this classic plaid. Prices range from $9-20 each, but buy in larger quantities for the best deals. Our favorite part of these chair covers? After Christmas dinner, just pop them into the washing machine!
I’m sure we all remember the days of hanging our favorite boy bands posters on our bedroom walls as a teen. At my house, we used poster putty to hang those treasured images of New Kids on the Block. Poster putty has been upgraded with Loctite’s Fun-Tak Mounting Putty. For Christmas, this is a great tool for hanging Christmas cards and party décor. Its best use is for positioning Christmas accessories on your table. If little ones are bounding by, your precious Christmas decorations won’t tumble off the table thanks to this putty.
We have Christmas on our minds, but our homes are decked out right now for Halloween. We stumbled upon these beautiful acrylic ice pieces to use as filler in glass vases. The orange is wonderful for Halloween or harvest décor, but there are plenty of Christmas colors available!
Number four isn’t a product recommendation, but just some inspiration for you this season. @christmasautumnn is a festive Instagram account with more than 60,000 followers and posts that include some of the most beautiful images of fall and the holidays. Roaring fires, crisp autumn leaves and snowy days are featured daily on this account from around the world.
Evenings are getting colder and there is definitely the smell of fall in the air. If you are looking for a tasty warm up, try this amazing mint inspired hot cocoa mix from Junior Mint. The 10 packets that came in this box were gone in just a few days at our house….and that was still during the summertime. We will be stocking up for the holidays and making this a feature at our hot cocoa bar.
