A Snob’s Guide to Christmas Decor: 18 Things Actually Worth Buying

Last week, we asked our loyal audience when is the best time to decorate for Christmas, and the majority said Thanksgiving weekend. However, nearly 40% admitted that they like to break out the Douglas fir the first week of November, and while we don’t like to pick sides, we are all for enjoying holiday decorations for a little longer. So, we couldn’t help but create our dream holiday decor setup with nearly 20 picks that are anything but tacky.

Yes, we’ll share a few garlands, some holiday-themed wrapping paper, and a mug resembling a gingerbread house, but at the end of the day, all of these picks are ones that recall an old-school Christmas, complete with sumptuous tones of green, red, and gold. In other words, nothing that reads cheap, overly stimulating, or, at the very worst, cheesy. Ahead, you’ll find all of the things in our own carts and soon, in and outside our homes.
