Promising review: "The pictures do not do these justice. They are a thick, beautiful, knit, REAL stocking. They stretch so far as well. I love that as part of the fun, having a small stocking then coming down the stairs to it twice the size stuffed with gifts! I love these, the perfect touch." —L Margaret

BloomWithClaire is a woman-owned small business based in Omaha, Nebraska. Claire is such a girlboss and I have owned two mats from her and I'm in love with them. Home Alone is my fave Christmas movie so having this outside my apartment door gets lots of laughs.
Promising review: "I am so excited about this doormat for Christmas season! It came exactly as shown, well packaged, on time, and Claire even included some extra stickers for being her 300th customer. Very impressed with her shop!" —kylienoneill

ShopHomeMaven is a small business that creates cheeky door mats in Tampa, FL.
Promising review: "It's PERFECT! Alyssa verified our design first, and it arrived in about two weeks which is pretty fast considering it's a custom piece. It shipped rolled up; however, it went flat immediately, so no worries about having a crazy-kinked rug to flatten. The design is exactly as expected, the script is very clear and good quality. I've been directing all my friends to this item now!" —xSobriquet

Promising review: "I LOVE this tree skirt. It’s so beautiful. It’s very soft and fluffy. I love how the snowflakes sparkle from the Christmas tree lights. I switched my ornaments this year to pink and I only had a red skirt. I was amazed at how quick it was to find the perfect tree skirt online. The snowflakes really are gorgeous. Everyone who saw my tree thought it was so cute." —Asiamae

Promising review: "I bought this whole set as a gift but ended up loving it so much I had to buy a second set for myself!

Promising review: "These lights are beautiful. Added to my decor at Thanksgiving and left them up through Christmas and on...since they can be winter decor too. I have them on 8 hours and then off 16. Replaced batteries once. The remote works perfectly, can dim, etc. This is definitely a good purchase. I feel these will last a long time. Highly recommend these." —Jeanne

Promising review: "I loved how small the snowflakes were — I was expecting them to be bigger snowflakes and look a little more unrealistic, but these are perfect! I also love how they are battery operated so I can put them outside, we don't have outdoor outlets where I live. Thanks so much for my amazing product!! :)" —Courtney

Promising review: "This little ceramic succulent cactus is great. It appealed to me because I can display it all year and because I have trouble growing real succulent plants.

Get it from Amazon for $19.79 (also available in 10 other designs).
Promising review: "I love these coasters! They are the right size for a big mug of tea, good quality, and the sparkles are so pretty. They are understated but elegant — not too little or too much 'sparkly-ness.' I am really glad I got these. They not only work well (as coasters), but they are good quality and don't slide around on my desk." —Katrina79

Promising review: "After years of serious allergies turning into sinus infections from the trees we cut as a family tradition, I decided to purchase a fake tree. So I decided if I was going fake, I was going all-out fake — an indoor flocked tree! I was so unsure about purchasing a flocked tree online though, having not seen it in person and given the high prices. WOW!!! I am sad to be taking my 9' tree down. It is so beautiful and full that I decided to not even use ornaments! We loved the soft lights at night, the way it just stood out in our vaulted living room. Yes, slight flocking cleanup after installation and here and there, but way better than pine needle cleanup, watering, and allergies like crazy! Will always prefer the look of a wonky fresh-cut tree from the approved forest area to a perfect triangled fake tree, but this was close to first due to the GREAT purchase for the money!!" —AP
Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "I have had several candles by the Homesick collection and have given a couple as gifts. The amount of scent thrown is spectacular. They smell amazing and burn extremely clean.

Keep in mind that reviewers say the projections are more effective when there's more space between the topper and the ceiling.
Promising review: "I adore this so much, I bought two and placed them in the corners of the room, so the snowflakes light up the entire vaulted ceiling! My 8-year-old thought we were in Frozen and danced like Elsa." —Lauren

Promising review: "I bought this for my mother who is a nursing home resident. The tree is battery operated, so we didn't have to worry about having it approved by hospital staff. The timer is easy to set and she doesn't have to worry about turning it on and off every day. After taking it out of the box there was only a little adjusting of the branches. You can also hang small, lightweight ornaments on it for trim. Everyone who comes into her room admires it." —gma J
Get it from Amazon for $18.19+ (available pre-lit or unlit).
Promising review: "These are my favorite ornaments. I love that I can still have the look of glitter without any mess! All of the pretty stuff is inside. On the outside you have a clear, mess-free bulb. I have received so many compliments on these and will buy more next year. I have dropped them and my 1-year-old has tossed them around without any concern or damage. Highly recommend!!" —Gatt
