I am so excited about this live tree stand. I am not going to sugar coat this one...there have been many frustrations thru the years putting our tree into the stand. It takes forever to get it straight. I always argue that if we just got a fake tree, we wouldn't have the trouble. I wanted to get this last year, but waited too late. It is supposed to be amazing and the majority of the reviews back it up. You just tap that foot pedal and it's done in an instant. It's arriving today!

My exterior wreath bows needed replacing. They were so faded after last year that they looked orange. I threw them away so I have to make new ones. It's due to arrive today!

This is my second order of these amazing remotes. I can stand in the kitchen and turn off all the interior Christmas lights with a click of the remote! I am getting ready to order a set for upstairs as well. After the holidays you can use them for lamps.

My old plug in lights were no longer working. I've been searching high and low on Amazon to find an acceptable replacement. All of the electric plug in ones turn on at dusk and off at dawn. Those are a no go for me because I only need these in the upstairs bedrooms. Who wants lights on all night? Not me! The battery operated ones have options for multiple hour settings which are optimal. I'm going to give battery ones a try and ordering these.

I've always used these extension cords in my trees. I attach it to the trunk. This allows me to plug fewer lights end to end. I feel safer with this.

There is nothing worse when taking your Christmas down and wishing you had new ornament storage boxes. I bought one of these last year, and plan to order a few more this year. I found them to be sturdy enough for my lighter weight ornaments especially my shatterproof ornaments.

These are very similar to some more expensive storage boxes that I own. I am ordering these for my kids this year to store their ornaments in. That way when they move out on their own, they will be neatly and safely packed away.

Almost exactly what I own. I love these. I label the boxes as to the location or tree. They stack well in the attic!

Did you know that you can buy a replacement tree stand for your artificial tree? Just check measurements.

I am wanting to give this exterior light remote a try. It's the same brand as my interior ones. You can stand inside and turn the exterior lights on and off! I have a love hate relationship with my porch timers. With it being shady, they come on too early and cut off too soon.

Don't forget the new tree collar if transitioning from a traditional tree skirt!

I've been stalking this one for a while. It will have to wait until next year since I splurged on the new tree stand. Love this one!

Contain your wrapping paper!

Love these little lights. They are lightweight and battery operated. I drape them over mirrors and my secretary.

I use this all the time when making bows and attaching items to garland and wreaths.

I use these to secure my garlands to the top of my mantles. I want that extra knowing that my hard work isn't going to slide off!

Lots of holiday decor uses AA or AAA batteries.
