    31 Things From Target To Make Your Home Look More Put-Together Before Guests Arrive This Season

    Fluff the pillows, straighten the towels, and consider a few of these products for the ~finishing touch~ this season.

    1. A chunky cable-knit throw blanket, because nothing in life is perfect — especially when you're entertaining for the holidays, and you might end up with a stain or two on furniture like chairs and couches. Use a throw blanket like this to hide the mess until you get to clean it while also adding a chic touch to your room.

    2. A charging station with four USB ports, so you can keep all the cables for your phone, tablet, gaming device, and wireless earbuds in one place, and never again struggle to find a free outlet. This is especially helpful when having guests over —it'll prevent you from finding a random charging phone in the guest bathroom.

    3. A raspberry and persimmon candle, because keeping your home looking tidy is one thing, but having a home that smells nice is just as important! Let this candle fill your room with its fruity yet grounding scent if you want your space to smell like a delicious fruit tart.

    4. A media cabinet to have you whipping out that vintage record player that's been sitting in your attic. This fun piece has dedicated storage space for all your favorite 12-inch vinyls, a shelf for your record player, two shelves of covered storage space for all your favorite tech doodads, and an open storage panel for anything else that you'd like to look a little more organized.

    5. A plaid table runner, since keeping tidy during the holiday season means keeping your table as spill free as possible. Because after all, you want to ring in the holiday cheer, but that doesn't mean you want condensation rings on your table

    6. A bamboo stacking shelf so that you can finally organize your counter space and make your kitchen look like a cool café. This shelf is great for organizing your coffee setup, but also works in cupboards to create more space for glasses and plates, or on counters that are covered by so many cooking doodads, you barely have space to actually cook.

    7. A dinosaur nutcracker, because your mantle is missing a bit of whimsical, prehistoric holiday pizzazz! This purr-fect little piece of holiday joy is a great anchor for holiday decor areas (or just a fun, seasonal way to keep all those papers on your desk from blowing around).

    8. A six-cube organizer shelf that will quickly become the new hot spot in your home to display all your favorite novels, records, board games, and anything else that needs to be shown off in sleek, organized style.

    9. A set of three stoneware mixing bowls with fun, subtle holiday stripes around the rim. These look so good, they will make it seem as though you didn't stress out even once while preparing your holiday feast.

    10. A festive, machine washable nutcracker shower curtain, because every room in your house deserves a little holiday swag. Consider this if you have "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" on repeat pretty much every day.

    11. A ceramic box with a removable lid, so that you can place all the tiny knickknacks that are currently on your kitchen counter in one safe, chic space.

    12. A 28-inch mixed greenery wreath that looks so realistic, people might think you spent the year honing your arts-and-crafts skills. This will look great on your front door or simply hung in your dining room.

    13. A boho embroidered stocking with tassels so you can rid your living room of small gift clutter and also have a stocking that actually works with your home's decor, for once.

    14. A gold-tone dove figurine, because it's all about the details, baby! Use this as a part of a dining room centerpiece if you want your guests to think that Martha Stewart herself helped you with your holiday interior design this year.

    15. A two-shelf floor lamp so that you can light up your reading nook and find a neat home for the books in your book club rotation. It's a great solution to organize whatever piles up on the floors of your home.

    16. A pet bed, because your pets deserve their own tidy space for naps and play this holiday, too! Opt for this one, with its festive plaid pattern, to coordinate with your decor.

    17. A two-pack of silver metal snowflake stocking holders so that you'll never have to haphazardly hang a stocking on the doorknob. These beauties can hold up to 3 pounds' worth of holiday cheer!

    18. A felt Advent calendar to keep track of the time leading up to the big day while still adhering to your home's minimalist design theme.

    19. A cozy plush throw blanket, because how can one fully enjoy the holiday season tradition of cuddling up on a couch with some hot cocoa WITHOUT a fuzzy plaid blanket to keep warm?!

    20. A "Merry Everything" doormat to welcome each and every person on your guest list this year before they even enter your home.

    21. A jacquard blackout curtain panel, because although the sun feels great when it's peeping through your window as you're getting ready for the day, it is no friend when you're trying to grab a few extra minutes of sleep or enjoy holiday movies on the big screen. Consider these stylish curtains to add pizzazz to your space while also keeping things dark enough for a movie marathon.

    22. A festive bath towel, since your guests will likely NEVER see those washcloths you *actually* use on the daily. If you're whipping out your fancy towels this year, you may as well offer them a hand towel with seasonally appropriate messaging.

    23. A monochrome three-tiered metal utility cart that is perfect for those who need extra organizational help, but also want to add a minimalist design touch to their space. This utility cart is great for storing extra gadgets in the kitchen, organizing cosmetics near your vanity, or even acting as a chic linen storage solution in your bathroom.

    24. A hanging wooden sleigh so that you can welcome your guests with fun, festive decor that *isn't* a hanging wreath.

    25. A woven basket with handles to store your throw pillows and blankets (or hide your dirty laundry) in one aesthetically pleasing place.

    26. A faux pine tree, because one of the easiest ways to make your space look tidy is by bringing it to life with some greenery. And greenery that won't ever shed or wilt? Even better! This tiny pine tree is basically the epitome of no-mess festive.

    27. A light-up monochrome ceramic house decoration to up the ante on your Christmas village this year. This all-white house will go with any setup you currently have; it's also a great step in building a new minimalist Christmas village this year.

    28. A damask tablecloth, because keeping a home tidy looking during the holidays means accounting for every last detail, including how you dress your dining room table! This timeless tablecloth's subtle pattern and shine will allow for you to amp up the decor around the dinner table without anything looking too busy.

    29. A dewdrop string light so that you can light up the darker corners of your space. Your guests will think it's just a holiday decoration — but you'll know that it's so much more than that, because lighting opens up the room and makes it appear bigger. Oh, and the best part? These are battery operated, meaning no searching for an outlet — all you have to do is push a simple button to light up your room.

    30. A glitter deer figurine so that you can decorate your coffee table with glam, seasonally appropriate decor.
