So cuddle up with your loved ones and pop in one of these movies everyone is sure to love! And in the meantime, make sure to check out our Pinterest board for more ideas on how to decorate your home this holiday season!
They say there’s no place like home for holidays, and we couldn’t agree more – especially when it’s decked out for the season! Whether you are only home for a few days or you’re there throughout the season, you are sure to find some decorating ideas below, no matter what your design style!
The fireplace is often the focal point of a room, so make sure yours is decorated beautifully!
Greet your guests by decorating your front door – pines, pine cones and ribbon are perfect pieces to use! Remember, you can never have too many garlands or wreaths!
If you have a staircase, take advantage of it! You can use garland, lights, fake snow, and lanterns – anything you want to use to decorate it! We love the gorgeous garland and soft lights used on this staircase!
We love the rustic-chic look that was used here!
Make your house a winter wonderland by adding white, silver and glitter! It will make your house glisten!
Create a cozy atmosphere with decorations.
We love the decorations used on these coffee tables!

Time is running out as the holidays are fast-approaching! If you still have some shopping to do, we’ve compiled a list of stores and last minute gifts for the best deals!
The Deal: They are running great holiday specials, such as 30 percent off full-price styles and winter sale styles. In addition, they have the promotion of free shipping. But hurry – today is the last day for these sales!
Why It’s Great: J. Crew offers quality items that last for a long time, and they have everything from jeans to coats to sweaters – and everything in between. You can find a gift for anyone in your family there, and these deals are dynamite, so if you haven’t been able to splurge there in the past, now is the time!
The Deal: Free shipping and delivery on any item you purchase by Christmas Eve (as long as you order by Dec. 12 at 12 p.m. EST). Also, deals on holidays gifts — you can find gifts for any price range!
Why It’s Great: You can literally shop up to the day before if you forgot someone on your list or you just haven’t had time to go to the store. A great price range gives you a variety of items to choose from as well!
The Deal: Tiffany’s is one of the only companies where you can order the day before and have it guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas with no shipping fee! If you order by December 15, you can have your order for Hanukkah, and if you order by December 23, you are guaranteed your item by Christmas!
Why It’s Great: For that last minute shopper, this is a great way to get your items on time for your loved ones! Whether you are buying for someone else or hinting for someone to get you something from the store, it is the perfect stop for the person who is behind on their shopping! (And who doesn’t want a little blue box for Christmas?)
The Deal: The site has tons of deals that are new and changing every day, and you can get free shipping on certain items (many of which can be customized). You can receive up to 30 percent off on some gifts, too! Also, if it is your first time shopping on their website, you can receive an extra 10 percent off by joining their email list.
Why It’s Great: Pottery Barn is the perfect place to shop for your aunts, grandmas, cousins or future mother-in-law. From cute throw pillows to the softest blankets, Pottery Barn can help you check items off anyone’s wish list.
The Deal: If you order online, they have same day store pick up for free! You can save $10 on any online order of $75 or more that you pick up in person. In addition, you get a free gift if you spend $100 if you order online and pick up at a store.
Why It’s Great: Things Remembered can personalize anything for you, which makes it extra special when giving it to someone. The even better part is that you don’t have to place your order in the store and then wait three hours for it to be done – just order online and pickup at your leisure!
The Deal: This site is loaded with great holiday deals and guaranteed before Christmas items! Overstock is perfect for just about anything, and prices are already low, plus extra savings anywhere from 10 percent off to 65 percent off different items. They also have Flash Sales where hot items go on sale for a short period of time – so be sure to be on the lookout for those great deals! For guaranteed shipping by Christmas, just look for the bright green truck on items to know that they are guaranteed before the big celebration.
Why It’s Great: Overstock has everything … and when I say everything, I mean everything. From Michael Kors purses and watches for yourself to Burberry rain boots and perfumes for you sister to a Bose sound system for your significant other, the store has everything with just one click.
