Turn Your Gift Exchange into a Spectacular Event!
December 14, 2007 — Wendy Moyle
This is the season of giving and you can transform your gift exchange, whether it’s with the family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers, into a holiday extravaganza!
Decorate the living room or party space with theme kits and decorating accents to transform it into the North Pole or some other festive location! For example, start with the Christmas Candy Cane Arch at the doorway. It makes a bold entrance and is great for taking photos! You could even get next year’s Christmas card picture! The Candy Cane Columns are another great idea. Decorate the interior of your space with Santa Decorations or a Nostalgic Fireplace to set the tone for the gift-giving. Add a little fun with Elf Photo Standees or a Mr. and Mrs. Claus Photo-Op great for taking commemorative photos!
Accent your decorating kits with classic items like snowflake garland, holly, mistletoe, foil snowflakes and balloons! Set a great backdrop with a Snow Flurries Room Setter or Winter Wonderland Room Setter. Don’t forget snowflake gossamer perfect for creating drapes, swags, table covers, chair bows and more!
Gather a spread of holiday treats and light snacks and decorate your tables with a holiday tableware ensemble like the Reindeer Attitude Ensemble or Glamourama Ensemble. Accent the holiday tableware with an Evergreen and Rose Bouquet Centerpiece.
You don’t need party favors for this event, but you can create personalized cake bags with you event or holiday details imprinted on them. Guests can take some of those extra sweets off your hands and keep the bag as a memento!
