Let’s kick off the countdown with some festive inspiration. Take a look at our Seasonal Décor page and shop for a few must-haves —like the stunning Norfolk Pine Natural Touch Garland (available in 5 ft. and 15 ft. lengths) and a coordinating wreath. Add some beautiful ribbon to tie it all together, and you’ll have your home looking merry and bright in no time!
To make things easier, we’ve mapped out a 10-week plan to keep you organized and on track. Let’s break it down so you can focus on one thing at a time and still have all the fun without the frenzy.
10 Weeks Until Christmas: Your Holiday Prep Checklist
- Week 1: Start gathering ideas for your overall holiday theme. Take stock of what you already have and decide what new decorations you need to refresh your home. Norfolk Pine garlands and wreaths are perfect starting points. Start thinking about where you’ll place them in your home!
- Week 2: Order everything you need to create this beautiful Norfolk Pine garland (either 5 ft or 15 ft) and bells, twinkle lights, along with some beautiful holiday ribbon to complete the look.
- Week 3: Plan out your holiday parties, gatherings, and any events you’ll be hosting. Send out invitations or save-the-dates!
- Week 4: Decorate early with your garlands and wreaths – here’s a link to our favorite DIY garland, accessories and wreath. Get a head start by putting up your greenery, you can always add the ribbon later, but your space will now be festive for Thanksgiving too!
- Week 5: Finalize your gift list and get started with shopping. Our Secret: Pick up a few extra items for hostess gifts (we will feature our gift recommendations on 11/11) and stocking stuffers (our list goes live on 11/18).
- Week 6: Make sure your outdoor decor is ready! From lights to door decorations, now is the time to make the exterior of your home festive. We love these starburst sphere lights.
- Week 7: Organize your holiday baking plans. Check your pantry and gather recipes for cookies, cakes, or any festive treats you plan to make. Come back to our site throughout the season to see what we’re baking. Enjoy Thanksgiving, and check out our Random Acts Of Kindness Challenge – get your family involved!
- Week 8: Start wrapping gifts! Stock up on wrapping paper, ribbons, and tags. Try out some of our best DIY wrapping ideas for a beautiful finishing touch.
- Week 9: Finalize your holiday menus and grocery lists. If you’re hosting, make sure to confirm any special orders, like a holiday ham, turkey or roast.
- Week 10: It’s the final countdown! Double-check your decorations, gifts, and menus. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the season!
By starting now, you’ll have everything prepped and ready, so you can fully enjoy the magic of the holidays!
