The New York Times - The best holiday decor
Our biggest piece of holiday-decorating advice? Resist the urge to pick up the first kitschy bauble you see on the shelf. Tasteful, high-quality decorations can last for years—rather than falling apart after just one season on display. Our experts have rounded up our favorite festive finds, including starry tapered candles, colorful and delicate glasses, and a twinkling light that can be displayed in a number of ways. We independently review everything we recommend. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more ›
Many experts think real trees are lighter on the planet, in terms of carbon emissions and resource depletion, than artificial trees. But it’s complicated, and opting for a real fir still has ecosystem impacts—if you keep your fake tree long enough, there will come a time when its footprint will be less per year than if you bought a real tree annually. How to mitigate your tree’s environmental impact, according to our sustainability editor→
Our gifts editor calls this gorgeous, handblown glass tree an “instant heirloom” that’s sophisticated and versatile enough to stay on display well into winter. It makes a pricey but fantastic gift for your stylish friends who pull out all the stops for holiday decorating. Or maybe, you are that friend, in which case—congratulations.
