12 Ways to Get Holiday-Ready

As the years fly by, the holidays tend to sneak up on us even faster. In between tying up year-end strings at work and planning family get-togethers, hardly any time is left to decorate. But making your office or home ready for the holidays is a great way to celebrate the season.

PINK picks 12 budget-friendly ways to decorate your home for the holidays:

Indoors: For a unique accent, make use of extra ornaments by placing them in a large glass vase as added holiday décor. Make a festive floral arrangement on a budget that will last with faux poinsettias from BizRate and life-like berries.

Outdoors: The wreath tradition has been around for centuries. With all the options these days, there’s no need to stick to traditional red and green: choose from modern styles made of mirror from West Elm or feathers to elegant silver and gold wreaths by Martha Stewart Living. Plus, outdoor lights now come retro and colorful, demure and simple or even a combination of both.

New Year: Decorating for New Year’s Eve is all about silver and sparkle. Planning a soiree? Check out party packages with enough swag for 10 people, like this assortment from InstaWares.
