Ornaments
The star of the show! These ornaments are my personal favorites, from timeless classics to playful pops of color. Each piece adds character and charm, making your tree truly one-of-a-kind.
If you take one thing away from this list, I think this has to be it. This is my most cherished ornament. I have one with my grandfathers handwriting and it means so much to me. I absolutely love it.
Engraved Handwriting Ornament
How freaking adorable!!!! Just the sweetest little thing, literally!
Summer Strawberry
I'm a sucker for anything puppy related and who doesn't want their fur baby to be represented on the tree!?
Handmade Heirloom Dog Ornaments
I think ornaments should tell a story so I always look for fun ones that might represent people I love and gift them to them.
Avocado Toast Ornament
These colors are so vibrant and fun. I like the mix-n-match of the ribbon. I also find it refreshing to stray away from the traditional red and green colors.
Colour Glass Bauble Set 4 | Christmas Holiday Vintage Festive Decor
I would buy 10 of these if I could. So darling and perfect for a indoor Christmas tree.
Small Acorn Ornament
I love little birds scattered around the tree. It's such a fun surprise. These are beautifully made.

Felt = doesn't break and they are so so FUN! How could you resist!?

How fun for your Olive loving friend in your life. Every ornament tells a story.

I always have some disco balls on my tree. They are so fun and add a great amount of sparkle. Highly recommend!!!!

We have a few of these in my house and I love them. They are VERY good quality and the picture quality is fantastic!
Shutterfly Glass Ornament
I just love a butterfly ornament. They are so pretty and just add some life to the tree.
Monarch Butterfly Ornament
I think these look very high end and organic in the sense that they are just meant to be on a Christmas tree.
Antiqued Snowflake Christmas Ornament Collection
simply darling. I want all the little cute mushrooms in my house!
Lucky Mushroom Ornament
Cute and meaningful for someone who lives in NYC or did or just loves to travel there. A great way to add in some personality into a tree!
NYC Taxi Ornament
It's always great to have a classic Santa somewhere on the tree.
Norwegian Santa Ornament
Etsy has sooo many good vintage ornament options. They just don't make them like these anymore!
Vintage Soviet Christmas tree ornaments
Extras
It’s all in the details! Add a sprinkle of magic with garlands, picks, ribbons, and other fun accents that take your tree from beautiful to breathtaking.
Tree garland (done the right way) can really help a tree look finished. I think it has to be tiny and very detailed.
Silver Jingle Bells Christmas Garland 6'
If you have a very natural Christmas tree look these would be perfect.
Olive Tree beads garland
If you are looking to have a blinged out tree, then this would be it. But done in a very beautiful way.
Crystal & Gold Christmas Tree Garlands
Good old fashioned tinsel. Classic!
Silver Tinsel Icicles
Usually one of the last things I put on my tree. And they need to be glass. It makes it extra special
Clear Glass Icicles
How incredibly gorgeous and organic. I love this idea. So stunning!
Dried Citrus Garland
Skirts & Stands
The perfect tree deserves a stylish foundation! These tree skirts and stands elevate your holiday display, offering a polished look that complements your decor while hiding unsightly bases.
I am typically a "plain jane" so this tree skirt is right up my alley. Pretty, festive but simple and understated. A Christmas tree can have a lot going on so it's nice to keep the bottom just easy.
Lancaster Quilted Tree Skirt
Velvet is such a great touch around the holidays. It instantly elevated any look.
Classic Velvet Tree Skirt
I love how it looks like a big sweater or blanket under the tree. Immediately gives cozy vibes. But fair warning cats will love it!
Chunky Knit Christmas Tree Skirt
Toppers
Crown your tree with a topper that wows! Whether it’s a sparkling star, an angel, or a unique statement piece, this collection will ensure your tree’s finishing touch is unforgettable.
I'm personally a star girlie. I like a star at the top of all my trees. If they light up even better.
Lit Capiz Star Tree Toppers
For a topper that adds some height something like this will definitely do the job.
Spherical Xmas Tree Topper
Faux Trees
Who says you can’t have it all? Faux trees combine convenience and beauty, lasting for years without losing their luster. From lush and full to slim and chic, I’ve rounded up the best options to suit any style or space.
I love a sparse looking tree because you can fit more ornaments on it. When there is space between the branches and it's not so dense this created tons of room to hang beautiful dangling ornaments.
Alpine Balsam Fir Trees
I just think you can't go wrong with a blue spruce. It's so classic and easy to style in any house.
Classic Blue Spruce
Sometimes you run into tight spaces but that doesn't mean a slim tree won't work. I actually love a tall skinny tree. I think with the right lights and ornaments it can look just as nice.
Stratford Spruce Trees
Lights
Set the mood with the perfect glow! From warm white to colorful bursts, these lights bring your tree to life and create the magical holiday ambiance we all love.
The cluster lights are my new obsession. They make the tree look so magical and I personally have a hack where you must stick your lights way into the tree towards the trunk. This will make them look the best.
Cluster Micro LED String Lights
I think cheery lights have a rightful place at Christmas particularly if you are looking to do something slightly different. They have kind of a retro vibe to them.
Cherry Light Strings
Collars
Tree collars are the modern answer to traditional skirts—sleek, trendy, and oh-so-stylish. Whether rustic, metallic, or minimalist, they add a unique finishing touch to your tree.
This just screams Christmas and Nutcracker to me. This would be perfect for a dancer in your life that has grown up doing the Nutcracker. It's so traditional and so festive!
Drum Christmas Tree Collar
A touch of gold will warm up the tree and even though it's metal make it look lux and high-end. I think this is also a great option for someone who might have a cat or small pup.
Handcrafted Brass Metal Tree Collar
I like this because it breaks apart making it very easy to get around the trunk of your tree.
Rattan Tree Collar
