It’s the final post in the Merry and Bright Holiday Home Tour. If you popping over from Chic On A Shoestring Decorating, welcome. And if you missed part 1 and 2 of the blog tour you can find my post here and here.

This is the second year for the blog tour and it has been pure joy to partner with my fellow bloggers and friends to bring you loads of holiday inspiration. Be sure to check out all the other bloggers on the tour (links at the end of the post).

So let’s jump on in to the finale’ of the Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour.

Even though I started decorating late this year, I’m really enjoying our decor and I’m excited to take you on a tour today.

A pop of red and green in my blue and white bedroom.

I love adding holiday themed vignette in every room, mixing Christmas decor with everyday items.

It’s always fun to add a holiday skirt to my dress form.

I switched out everyday art for these fun Christmas themed prints I found on Etsy.

Ginger Jar // Wreath // Ornaments // Potted Tree

Pretty ribbons and paper are always a part of my holiday decor.

A bowl full of ornaments on the coffee table.

The Poinsettia gift wrap from Paper Mart inspired my holiday decor.

My decor this year incorporated lots of bright, bold colors. And I used accent of black to add contrast and drama.

Wrapped presents are accented with handmade fabric gift tags.

Big ribbon bows hang on the Christmas tree.

Black and White Fun Plaid Ribbon

Handmade holly leaf swizzle sticks were a fun addition to my cocktail bar.

The dining table is dressed out in a mix of patterns and pops of red and black.

One for my favorite holiday decorations is this beautiful preserved Boxwood Wreath from Silk Plants Direct.

Happy Friday!

I love the holiday season and part of what makes it so enjoyable for me is shopping for the perfect gift for friends and family.

Buying gifts for the men in my life can be tough and finding the prefect present for my female friends and family can be an even bigger challenge.

So after lots of shopping, in-person and online, I’ve pulled together a gift guide that will make shopping for you {and me} easier this season!

Happy Shopping!

You might not have ever thought about shopping at Pottery Barn Teen for the adult women in your life but these adorable faux fur pouches will change your mind. These super affordable bags can be used to hold cosmetics, sunglasses, personal handbag items, pens and pencils or just about anything else you can think of. And if the Snow Leopard pattern doesn’t appeal to you, there are other animal patterns available.

Snow Leopard Beauty Pouches—PB Teen $12-$15

Expression Tea Cups—Soft Surroundings $18.95

I think everyone needs personalized stationery and these monogrammed folded notes are my pick of the season.

Personalized Folded Notecards–-Horchow $75.00

Cute monogrammed plates like this one are great to use on a vanity or night stand to hold jewelry or you could pair it with a jar candle so it can be used as a stylish candle plate.

Buffalo Check Tote—C. Wonder $78.00

If you were planning to give someone on your list gloves this Christmas I say make them really special and give them a pair of the adorable ruffled gloves.

Personalized Pencils—ACDShop/Etsy–$12.00

Agate stones have been a hot trend in home decor over the last two years and now the look has made its way into fashion. These beautiful agate necklaces are a great gift for the fashionista on your list.
