Every year I contemplate doing a roundup of Christmas essentials, but the timing never seems right. It’s either too early in the season or once the season hits, I’m all about posting holiday gift guides. This year, I’m in the Christmas spirit more so than ever. I thought what better way to get ready than to elevate my space with pretty holiday decor.
PS: As you can see below, Anthropologie is clearly having a moment with their holiday options and to say I’m a bit obsessed would be an understatement.
1. Seasons Greetings Hooked Pillow | Anthropologie ($88): The cutest of decorative pillows to display on your couch or bed.
2. Advent Calendar Holiday 2021 | Sugarfina ($60): The sweetest way to countdown to Christmas.
3. Christmas Time In The City Dessert Plate ($16) + Mug ($14) | Anthropologie: Celebrate the holidays in your favorite city with these mugs and plates. (Choose from NYC, L.A., Paris, or London.)
