The Holiday Trends

Stand out for the holidays! As Christmas is around the corner, it is always wise to be ahead of the mark and ahead of the decoration game!

Follow this essential trend guide to make the holiday Merry and Bright:

1. Colourful Wreaths

Be bold and vibrant! There has been an over 20% increase in searches on etsy, for stepping decoration up. Searches are going for bold and more vibrant colours signalling people are over subdued, natural decorations. 

2. Cozy Alpine Aesthetics

It's all about the need to feel comfortable. There has also been a huge increase in searches for knits and puffy accessories. The early pandemic athleisure trend can be seen with this extension. These plush and cuddly items can include knit balaclavas as well as The GAP's puffer bag and the Lululemon belt-bag. 

3. Space-Saving Trees

Less is more. No need to have a tree take up the whole living room. Fill in awkward corners and extend the holiday spirit past the living room. Clusters of trees in varying heights could create an enchanted forest feel. The pencil tree or alpine slim Christmas tree will be sure to be the talk of the party. 

4. Disco Ornaments

Go completely opposite of comfy and cozy by going full glam! Be bold with disco ball ornaments or a tree topper that catches the light. 

5. Butterboards

Call it the "new charcuterie board." Going completely viral all over social media, slathering softened butter or cream cheese all over a large cutting board topped with any kind of garnish will be sure to lighten up the social mood. Add items like edible flowers, cheese, and nuts and pair it with a sliced baguette. Check out these easy-to-follow recipes here.

6. Meta Gifts

The gift of surprise. Think of a mystery box or something that is unknown. The Tarot candle or LOL surprise dolls are the hottest gifts for any age. 

7. The Modern Menorah

Sculptural Minimalism is the main them that is a large trend this holiday season. In fact, keeping the menorah up for far past the season is also quite common. The white markble CB2's simplistic menorah could be a great choice.

8. Advent Calendars

The countdown can be on for anything or anyone. With having an advent calender for the children, pet or adults, this year we can see the advent calendar is out for everyone. Choose a great option for skin care with YSL or spoil your dog with the many options at Pet Value.

9. Gnomes

We have been torchered with being creative with Elf on the shelf for years. Time for welcoming change with gnomes. There has been an influx of influence this season being seen anywhere from Pottery Barn to Etsy finds.
