Seasonal & Holiday Decorations
How to choose seasonal & holiday decorations
Ornament material
Pick Holiday Ornaments in plastic or wood for high traffic rooms, or glass for supervised displays.
Stocking make
Choose Holiday Stockings in wool for traditional feel, or felt for lighter weight and easy care.
Indoor or outdoor
For Decor and Home & Garden, select metal or plastic to resist weather, not paper or wood.
Colour match
Match colour to scheme, with silver and blue for cool looks, red and green for classic.
Ready made or DIY
Decide between finished ornaments and DIY supplies if you enjoy crafting your own.
What's good
- Holiday ornaments in glass or ceramic give a polished finish that suits formal displays.
- Wool or felt holiday stockings offer a handmade look and survive repeated seasons.
- Decor and Home & Garden pieces in metal or plastic handle movement better than fragile options.
- The wide colour range, from red to gold, helps match existing decor schemes.
- DIY ornament supplies let you assemble custom pieces rather than buying finished items.
Things to watch
- Glass and ceramic ornaments shatter under impact, so they are wrong for busy homes with pets.
- Wool stockings need gentle hand washing, unlike plastic alternatives that wipe clean.
- Paper or felt decor can weaken in damp air, limiting use in exposed Home & Garden spots.
- Personalised stockings are made to order, which suits planners but not those wanting instant stock.
- Metal pieces in silver or gold tones may tarnish without occasional polishing.
Care & maintenance
Glass and ceramic
Dust glass and ceramic ornaments with a soft, dry cloth before storing.
Wool and felt
Hand wash wool or felt stockings in cold water, then lay flat to dry.
Plastic and acrylic
Keep plastic and acrylic decor out of direct heat to avoid warping.
Metal
Wipe metal ornaments with a dry cloth and polish if the shine fades.
