Norfolk Pine Garlands

               Christmas decoration

There are so many Christmas garlands out there - so what sets these Norfolk Pine Garlands apart?

1, Realism. You can bring the magic of nature into your holiday decor with our favorite Real Touch Norfolk Pine Garlands, teardrops and more! Crafted with lifelike "real touch" foliage, these products capture the beauty of pine branches with unparalleled realism.

Our garlands are able to be layered or can standalone as the perfect size to grace doors, walls, or mantels, infusing your space with the timeless charm of Christmas.

Part of the beauty is in our artful use of concentrated layers of extremely realistic needles that bring these Norfolk Pine Garlands to life.

  1. Versatility.You can use these garlands to decorate columns, pedestals, doorways and other entryways, mantles, bookshelves and so much more. Just add lights, ribbon,or other Christmas decorations, and you’re good to go! Like other artificial Christmas garlands, though, these will never fade, brown, or drop needles - which makes them a lifelong investment in decorations!

Embrace the spirit of the season and elevate your festive celebrations with this exquisitely crafted decor essential.

Christmas Ribbon

Christmas ribbon, available at Decorator’s Warehouse in gorgeous varieties of themes and color schemes, fabrics and textures, and is the perfect complement to any Christmas decorations.

These Christmas decoration essentials are perfect for putting some additional touches on Christmas greenery, specifically the tree, as well as garlands and wreaths. Ribbons can also be used to decorate in other areas, too, as you can make bows and other accents for your Christmas decor!

Picks and Sprays

                    Christmas decoration

Christmas picks and sprays, like Christmas ribbon, offer another nice way to put an extra touch on your Christmas decorating. Also like ribbon, picks and sprays are available in over 150 designs and color schemes, to align with nearly any of our Christmas Collections. And, like ribbon, you can use them to decorate greenery, as well as to create tree toppers for Christmas.

Tree Toppers for Christmas

Even with a beautifully-lit tree decorated with ribbon, spray, picks, and ornaments, it’s the tree topper for your Christmas tree that ties it all together.

There are beautiful normal tree toppers that you can buy, but there’s a whole world of opportunity out there beyond the basic star or angel.

You can also make tree toppers for Christmas trees with picks and sprays, by bunching a few together and inserting them at the top of the tree.

Not only will these types of tree toppers make your tree really pop, but you can also curate the picks and sprays you use to create harmony with your theme, or with the other Christmas decorations you use.

You know what else makes great tree toppers for Christmas trees? Umbrella lights! Especially if you have a vintage Christmas theme going. Check them out!

Twinkle Lights

                   Christmas decoration

Twinkle lights or cluster lights may not technically be a Christmas decoration by the conventional definition, but they are essential.

But why these twinkle lights? These highly addicting and durable indoor/outdoor twinkle lights are rated for 50,000 hours with a timer option, end to end connectability, tangle-free set up/tear down, and an unbreakable exterior that even Santa's boot could not shatter. Select one of the 8 flash or twinkle or fade patterns and allow the magical warmth of these highly concentrated cluster lights to fill your home whether you wrap a banister, weave them throughout a tree, add to garlands, or display them all year long draped above a patio.

Shatterproof Ornaments

               Christmas decoration

Shatterproof ornaments are a Christmas decoration essential in lots of places - basically anywhere you can’t use real glass Christmas ornaments. Avoid the stress this holiday season and decorate your Christmas tree worry-free with our durable shatterproof Christmas Ornaments.Quality shatterproof ornaments like ours are nearly indistinguishable from glass and can be much more affordable, providing the same aesthetic while keeping costs down and eliminating the possibility of broken glass. You won’t even be able to tell the difference between them and glass ornaments, making them the perfect substitute!

Elf on the Shelf

               Christmas decoration

Last but definitely not least, we have Santa’s ambassador, come all the way from the North Pole to make sure everyone’s behaving so the big guy can keep an accurate Nice List!

It’s the Elf on the Shelf, a scout elf who visits the home every Christmas season and listens in on the day’s activities, reporting back to Santa every evening to keep him up to date.

The rules are simple! Never touch the Elf - or he or she can lose his or her magic if touched - and of course, the Elf won’t talk, but scout elves are great listeners and never miss anything!

The Elf on the Shelf is a great way to make Christmas magic come to life for you and your family - and another way to introduce new traditions into your Christmas celebrations.
