The best Christmas tree decorations for your needs depends on your living situation, choice of Christmas tree, festive theme and home decor. It’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the choice of Christmas decorations available, so to help make the decision-making process easier, choose a colour scheme and stick to it – ideally, no more than four complementary colours.
If you live with children, avoid glass ornaments and stick to durable plastic, wooden or fabric ornaments instead.
Christmas baubles can be purchased hand-painted in your choice of design and make wonderful personalised gifts. You can also have your Christmas ornaments inscribed with names and dates, or purchase special-occasion decorations such as a baby’s first Christmas ornament. If you love family traditions, introduce one new Christmas ornament to your tree each year or involve the family in decorating their own glass baubles.
Christmas decorations can be fragile, especially glass ornaments and baubles. Proper storage is important to keep your Christmas decorations from breaking, getting dirty or becoming disfigured.
Try to keep the packaging your baubles came in, and use this as long-term storage, otherwise look for sturdy boxes with individual compartments. Wrap baubles up in tissue paper or bubble wrap and ensure they don’t have too much room to move about. For odd-sized glass ornaments, wrap generously in bubble wrap, and secure with sticky tape.
