Lovers of vintage Christmas decorations, you’re in the right place! This article will highlight some of the throwback treasures in our catalog and how you can make the most of them to put a retro accent on all your decorating efforts!
With no further ado, let’s dive right in!
Karen Didion Santas
Karen Didion Santas truly capture the spirit of the Christmas season in living quality; many of her santas are handcrafted, and no replicas are produced. Many are made with hand-painted porcelain faces and real wool beards.
Few other Christmas decorations bring the season to life in such vivid color, detail and warmth as Karen Didion Santas. They also showcase unique themes and many of them are ideal for vintage decorating.
In a variety of sizes, they can be used to decorate tabletops, desks, mantles and shelves, and the larger ones can be used by fireplaces and entryways to add a nice touch.
Mark Roberts Santas
Like Karen Didion Santas, Mark Roberts Santas and elves capture the spirit of Christmas in living detail and reflect themes of love, hope, charity, and unity that are so closely linked to the season.
They are also handcrafted and painstakingly detailed, and the collection contains numerous entries that are perfectly at home among vintage Christmas decorations. In addition to Santas, Mark Roberts also makes nutcrackers, ornaments and a number of other accents that are beautifully crafted and ornately detailed.
Christmas Snow Globes
Like detailed, old-world Santas, Christmas snow globes are right at home in any collection of vintage Christmas decorations. Place them on desks, shelves, tabletops or on mantles as ornaments, or use them as little vintage accents to create a focal point in other areas of interest, and they will make quite an impression. Christmas snow globes can also be used as Christmas bathroom decorations, too!
Mr. Christmas Decorations
Of all the classic Christmas must-haves covered here, Mr. Christmas decorations and accents are perhaps the best of the bunch for cultivating a vintage aesthetic.
In our Mr. Christmas collection, you’ll encounter vintage ceramic Christmas trees, perfect for tabletop decorating, as well as retro radio accents. The Mr. Christmas collection also contains vintage chamberstick candle accents, mail boxes, juke boxes, decorative plates, marching bands, climbing Santas, and even some Christmas inflatables.
While some of the Mr. Christmas decor on our website is perfect for outdoor decorating, mostly these unique and whimsical accents are best-suited for creating a retro feel indoors, especially around the tree - although some of the accents are also great for tabletop, mantle and shelf decoration.
Vintage Ornaments
Another great way to create a retro feel is with some unique and high-quality vintage ornaments, and there’s no better collection out there than the Retro Brites ornament collection that you’ll find right here!
Among the vintage ornaments in the Retro Brites collection are jewel Christmas ornaments, reflector ornaments, drop ornaments, and vintage finials, all of which will lend a uniquely vintage flair to your Christmas decorating, especially if you pair them with matching ribbon, picks and sprays in a complementary color scheme.
Vintage Christmas Lights (C9 Christmas Lights)
C9 Christmas lights, with their large bulbs and soft tones, endure in the mind as definitely vintage Christmas lights.
Modern C9 Christmas lights are actually LEDs, so while they capture the aesthetic appeal of old-school incandescent C9s, they’re much more reliable, much more durable, much longer-lasting, and far more reliable in all weather conditions.
Use these vintage Christmas lights, available here in a number of colors, to decorate your Christmas tree, your landscaping, or your home itself - each of these applications can enhance the overall aesthetic of your Christmas decorating.
Vintage Christmas Decorations: The Extras
Lastly, if you’re looking for a way to tie all your vintage Christmas decorating together, don’t forget you can expand the unity of the overall scene with some wisely chosen extras, such as Christmas ribbon, ornaments, picks, sprays, and resin in matching themes and colors.
Use these to fill out blank spots in the tree or other negative spaces around your home where a little extra spirit could be helpful in making your whole home come to life.
