Whether you're on a tight budget or just don't have a lot of time, these Christmas ideas will help you beautifully decorate your home in a meaningful way for you and your loved ones to enjoy the season!

1. Set up pretty spaces for making memories

Some ideas include setting up a table for puzzle-making, a baking station, and a hot cocoa station for sharing warm and cozy drinks.

2. Firepit memories

I also have piled up and ready to go a bunch of plaid blankets and lanterns so that we can all go out by the fire pit and enjoy making s’mores together.

3. Trays for easy decor

Use trays to hold your decor that way you can easily move it out of the way if you want to wrap a gift or play a game on the table.

4. Ties for holding garland

Is your garland hard to control? Use these pretty ties to hold and secure your garland onto your railing.

5. Use family ornaments to fit your color scheme

Do you have a color scheme for this year’s Christmas decorating? Use your heirloom ornaments that fit the color scheme. The result will be a designer look that is also personal to you and connects you to your loved ones.

6. Match wrapping paper to your color scheme

This is so easy! Just get wrapping paper to match your Christmas decorating color scheme.

7. Display Christmas cards with ribbon

Hang ribbon on the back of a door and tape it at the bottom. Then use little clothespins to add Christmas cards that you receive onto the ribbon.

8. Add velvet ribbon to ornaments

Upgrade ornaments by replacing the gold wire string that comes on them with a beautiful piece of velvet ribbon.
