Aren’t these gnomes the cutest? I just love how their hats cover their eyes so all you can see are their bulbous noses! This delightful pair of Nordic gnomes are donning red holiday outfits and would be a lovely addition to one’s traditional Christmas decor. If you have a soft spot for gnomes like I do, but red isn’t your color, check out these turquoise gnomes, gold gnomes, or gnomes in muted sweaters.
Since I’m in the market for Christmas cards, I’ve been scouring around online for some neat designs. I generally like cards that make me smile, whether they’re funny, cute, or quirky. Naturally, I couldn’t keep all this festive goodness to myself, so I’m sharing my finds with all you lovely folks.
This T-Rex card is perfect for anyone who likes dinosaurs or has young boys. I know my nephews would LOVE this card!
Instead of sending a card that may end up in a box (or worse, the trash bin), give an ornament card such as this Cool Yule Penguin.
Let your loved ones know you are wishing them “a whale of a Christmas” with this beautifully designed card.
Dog lovers will chuckle at the sight of this card featuring a doxie wrapped in lights!
Merry Crustmas, everyone! This adorable card features a little piece of bread fashioned from felt, complete with a Santa hat.
Add digital stickers to your photo when you order this “Staching Through the Snow” card. After uploading your photo, simply click the small pencil icon to open the Effect & Filters panel, then add stickers, overlays, and more.
By putting a family photo on an ornament card, friends and family will want to hang it on their tree this year and years to come. You can customize your cards by choosing the background color and the silhouette shape.
This card made me laugh! Of course, our favorite part of Christmas is spending time with loved ones, but—let’s be honest—we all love to receive presents, too.
This hedgehog card is printed on birch wood, rather than paper. What a unique way to send seasonal greetings!
Over the past few months, I have been reading the Harry Potter series again, so my eyes lit up when I came across this Christmas at the Burrow candle. As it’s the most welcoming and coziest home in the wizarding world, spending the holidays at the Burrow would be absolutely lovely. With the fragrance of sugar cookies, cinnamon, and vanilla, this hand poured soy candle surely captures the scents of Christmas with the Weasleys. Available as a 2 oz, 4 oz, or 8 oz candle or as a pack of half-ounce tarts.
