Christmas Gift Ideas By Jeanette Joy Fisher, Fri Dec 9th
Choosing a gift for someone to display in their home can befrustrating. On the other hand, if you're shopping for a friendor family member, you can give a present that will beappreciated. When to Not Give Home Décor Presents If you've never been to your friend's home, I would definitelynot give a household item unless it's for a recent bride with agift registry. Even if you're gift shopping with your friend andshe points out a darling framed picture or frilly pillow, thatdoesn't mean the item will fit in her personal interior décor.
Perhaps you know your friend collects figurines like I do.Because of my last name, I started collecting fish years ago.However, I collect tiny glass antique fish, about one inch tall.The large wooden fish my mother gave me just doesn't fit myinterior décor. How to Give Home Décor Presents If you have been to your friend's home and know she needs tocomplete her home decorating with accessories, here are
somegift ideas: 1. Double check your friend's color scheme. Your gift doesn'thave to match perfectly to blend in. 2. Make sure her home isn't too crowded with many smalldecorating items. Many small accessories make a home feelcluttered. 3. Make something yourself that has meaning to you both. Forinstance, make a stained glass icon to reflect light in herbathroom window. 4. Find an old snapshot of you two from the past. Get thepicture touched up professionally and frame it in a frame thatblends in with her home decorations. 5. Give your friend a huge candle dressed up with pearls,sequins, or seashells with a base that matches her style. Forinstance, if she loves silver, crystal, ceramics, or brass,choose that material. If you give thought to your gift with these interior decoratingtips, you will make your friend happy. Copyright © Jeanette J. Fisher.
