Hosting a holiday gathering? The Paper Store's holiday decorations will add instant cheer to your home

Ever since I was young, spending an afternoon decorating our home with The Paper Store's holiday decorations meant that the season had officially commenced. Between the warm, cozy fireplace and the cheerful music playing in the background, this tradition has always been an essential part of the holiday season – just as it is for many other families.

There is no better way to kick off this tradition than taking a trip to The Paper Store to pick up some new bits and bobs and prepare your home for hosting guests. The Paper Store is a haven of pure nostalgia – you can't enter the store without being greeted by a funny magnet, discovering a poignant greeting card, or feeling inspired by the meaningful quotes on the mugs and artwork. More importantly, during this time of year, the store transforms into a goldmine of holiday decorations, offering everything from fun ornaments, classic figurines, and twinkling snow globes to festive kitchenware and joyful throw pillows.

"Many of us have favorite decorations passed down through generations and festive traditions, but anyone who loves Christmas time knows there's always room for more," says Jennifer Ebert, Digital Editor at Homes & Gardens. "Whether you’re drawn to timeless classics or new and unique Christmas trends, a thoughtfully decorated space is the key to making your home feel extra special this Christmas, and The Paper Store has everything you need to set your space apart this season."

Growing up, my family's favorite decorations from The Paper Store were the Willow Tree Angels – these beautiful figurines are the perfect adornments for your tree or mantle, infusing your home with all the love and joy the season brings. Another great find is the Silver Lace Tree Lantern, a Christmas tree–shaped lamp filled with swirling, glittering LED lights that bring an eye-catching sparkle to your holiday decor. Finally, if you're looking for a little something extra, the Gingerbread-Shaped Throw Pillow can add a festive finishing touch to your living room furniture.
