Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over. The Halloween candy has all been devoured, and the time for holiday decorating is here! And to make sure you’ve got all your bases covered, we’ve put together a simple guide to make sure that no aspect of your home gets overlooked.

The Wreath

The front-door Christmas wreath is the first thing that your friends and neighbors are likely to see when they come a-caroling. Make sure that yours is both festive and tasteful, and don’t be afraid to use artificial wreaths if you’re unable to find any that look fresh and healthy. There’s nothing worse than winding up with dead pine needles strewn all over your doorstep.

Holiday Figurines

You probably have a few ceramic Santas in storage, and holiday figurines make a great addition to the living room or entryway decor. Feel free to treat yourself to a new one every year, but don’t go overboard. If it’s not likely to become a cherished family heirloom, keep looking until you find one that really speaks to you. Then make sure you handle with care! Store your Christmas figurines in tissue or newspaper to prevent breakage.

Halloween can be an exciting event for kids of all ages, but it isn’t exactly the healthiest of holidays. This year, instead of showering your kiddies with candy, think about giving them toys or Halloween gifts that will last much longer than their post-trick or treat tummy aches.

One hot new trend in toys is the Monster High Doll Collection, adorable Barbie-style dolls with a spooky twist. Collect Frankie Stein, Draculaura, Clawdeen Wolf, and Laguna Blue, or bundle them together into awesome Halloween or Christmas gifts for girls. And because each doll is under $25, so you can feel great about giving one for Halloween, and the rest as Thanksgiving, New Year, and Christmas gifts too!
