A Classic Wreath

Whether your taste leans contemporary or traditional, a boxwood wreath is the perfect way to decorate a front door or entryway. Easily purchased at your local garden center, or online at Terrain, you can keep this lush bit of evergreen simple as it is, or take it up a notch with a festive ribbon bow or fairy lights.

Forced Bulbs

Forced bulbs offer gorgeous, long-lasting flowers with little-to-no maintenance and no need for special light conditions. Many of them smell fantastic, too. Fragrant paperwhites or vibrant amaryllis make great gifts for everyone, including yourself. Most are sold with their own small container and accoutrements, but a simple vase, a handful of pebbles, and some water are all that’s needed. You can find these kits everywhere from your hardware store to the grocery store, or purchase them online here through Williams Sonoma.

A Unique Evergreen

For a bit of decor that lasts well beyond the holidays, try a Norfolk Island pine. These little evergreens love bright, indirect-to-medium light and water every one to two weeks. We love this tabletop version, which arrives potted up and ready to enjoy from The Sill.
