I got started on Christmas early this year. Anyone else?! And like always, Target sucks me in with all the cuteness! Anyone else LOVING the Opal House line???
Last year we moved from our home of 12 years into our dream house. Last Christmas was really focused on figuring out how our stuff fit for the holidays and what we absolutely needed to add. Like a larger Christmas tree, our old 7.5 foot tree looked tiny with the high ceilings! LOL! This year has been so much fun as I’ve started focusing on really making it festive throughout the house. Plus, 2020, right?! I think we’re all up for enjoying our space at home as much as we can.
So if you need some inspo or you have some spots that need finishing touches for Christmas, here are some of my favorites that I grabbed from Target this year!
PLUS ➡️ read all the way to the bottom for a tip to snag the hard-to-get, out of stock items from Target!!
Basement
We have an adorable white mantle in our basement. Last year it didn’t get a lot of love (just a few random decorations from our old house with no cohesiveness), so I’m excited about how bright and cheery it turned out this year! A sweet, inviting space for the fam to hang out.

Kids’ Rooms
The kids have always had their own small trees for their bedrooms. It’s one of their favorite parts of the holidays…getting out their little trees and decorating with mini ornaments and lights. This year I wanted to add a few more holiday touches to make their rooms special. I kept seeing that looped Christmas Tree pillow all over and let me tell you, it’s even cuter in person!

Bonus favorites
Obviously battery-operated lights aren’t a new thing. 😂 But I can’t get enough of the adorable bubble lights Target has this year for only $10! They have them in warm white and multi-colored. And a regular battery operated fairy light strand for only $6 (on sale for $5 right now)!!

Our master bathroom definitely got ignored last year. But I ran across this darling bath mat and it’s a perfect little holiday touch! I also added some garland with the battery-operated bubble lights above the window and a few bottle brush trees as accents.
You can find the Threshold ‘Be Merry’ bath mat HERE. And it JUST came back in stock!! Yay! (Also, these slippers are the BEST freakin’ things ever! They’re linked in my Holiday Gift Guide HERE!!)
Hostess Gift Ideas
And a little bonus! Not just for hostesses…friends, teachers, hair stylists, delivery people, whoever is on your list! I love adding special touches to holiday gifts to make them stand out. This year I’m obsessed with adding either the battery-operated bubble lights or the tiny string lights. How cute are these!? Inexpensive ways to show someone how much you appreciate them.

Target App Tip for Hard-to-Find Items
One quick tip for snagging the popular holiday items from Target! Many of these items go in and out of stock. If they’re out of stock when you check, they may be back soon! Sooo many more people are holiday shopping online this year! Here’s my hot tip to grab them. Online or in your Target app, there’s usually an option that says “Notify Me When It’s Back”. Now, here’s the tip. If you do this just online, you’ll get an email. I don’t know about you guys, but I get tons of emails and I don’t check it immediately. That’s why I love the app! The app sends me a notification when one of my items is back in stock, so I can hop on super fast and order!
Happy holiday season, my friends! I’m grateful to share a little corner of the world here with you.
XO, Kelli
