FIVE for November

As I write this blog, the turkey is thawed and the green bean casserole is being prepared. Its Thanksgiving-Eve! And yes, that means we have much to be thankful for a feast to eat tomorrow, but to The Christmas Gals this really means we are in the home stretch to Christmas!

This month’s five picks are great pieces to round out your décor or serve as helpful tools as we inch closer to the big day.

Naughty or nice? Let the Mr. Christmas Naughty or Nice Meter tell you! This adorable battery operated, motion activated meter includes an adorable retro Santa image and lights. Its too cute to pass up! Available on Amazon for $32.76.

The adorable peppermint inspired lights are a ‘sweet’ addition to add to garland or trees. Christmas Gal Shendra added two sets above a bookcase, taking her garland from ‘wow’ to ‘wowsa.’ Available through Hobby Lobby, they are currently out of stock online, but we spotted several sets still available in store. On sale now for $11.25 for a set of 10 lights.

Last year, The Christmas Gals first introduced our fans to this amazing, stupendous and wonderful tool…the Light Keeper. The gun-like tool actually brings lost lights back to life. That’s right…it brings back (in most cases) strands of lights that you thought were headed to the trash pile. The $24.99 cost via Amazon of the Light Keeper pays for itself after you realize how many light strands you will no longer need to replace!

I have probably muttered more profanity than I would like to admit wrangling garland and getting it to lie ‘just right.’ These genius garland ties offer some solutions to garland woes….providing an extra piece of evergreen to twist and position your garland or other décor into place. Available via Amazon, 36 pieces for $16.69.

It just wouldn’t be 2020 if we didn’t offer up a pick for a face mask! This festive face mask is Christmas Gal tested and approved. Unlike the 10+ other masks I have ordered and then immediately disliked, this reusable holiday mask is soft, breathable and oh-so-cute! Special thanks to Christmas Gal mother in law Tricia who surprised us with this gift. Its sold my Kole Jax Designs and if you haven’t checked out their other products…take time to peruse their products. Such great holiday inspired pieces! Vintage Santa Fabrice Face Mask $10.
