Countdown to Christmas
Christmas is less than two weeks away - how are you doing with all your holiday shopping?
Whether you’re still working on your gift list, or busy preparing and decorating for your family’s Christmas celebration, don’t worry, you still have time to order everything you need. I hope you caught my holiday specials this week - on Amazon LIVE, and on Facebook LIVE. If you missed either of them, just click on the highlighted links above to watch. Both broadcasts promote my newest book, “Martha Stewart’s Cookie Perfection: 100+ Recipes to Take Your Sweet Treats to the Next Level.” I also have lots of wonderful holiday items at Macy’s. Visit my Collection for bedding, home decor, kitchen gadgets, table setting pieces, and so much more. Go to Amazon.com to order fun gift baskets filled with tasty bites with international themes - French, Italian, Spanish and American-Made. And, don’t forget wines - go to Martha Stewart Wine Co., and order a half-case of some of my favorite selections. To add a personal touch to your gifts, shop at Michaels for craft and holiday wrapping supplies. It’s the big countdown to Christmas and I am here to help.
Enjoy these photos and go to my web site at MarthaStewart.com for more ideas and inspirations for our special "Countdown to the Holidays."
-
- There’s still time to give the front of your home some holiday curb appeal. At Amazon, order my pre-lit holiday garland adorned with ornaments and berries and my matching wreath – both have bright clear energy-efficient LED lights sprinkled throughout for a soft, ambient glow.
-
- My holiday decor at Macy’s is also very festive. Use wreaths and garlands to decorate your mantel, living room, dining room or wherever guests gather. My faux greenery and coordinated trimmings can be used year after year.
-
- If you’re decorating the tree this weekend and need a skirt, why not make this stenciled holiday tree skirt using my Martha Stewart Cricut from Michaels.
-
- My Cricut machine can help with so many fun craft projects for Christmas, or any time of year. It makes a wonderful gift for the crafter on your list.
-
- Don’t forget to prepare your home for out-of-town friends and family. Keep your guests cozy with layered bedding and these throws from Macy’s.
-
- For a whimsical touch, add holiday pillows from my Collection exclusively at Macy’s. This “Merry & Bright” pillow is 18-inches square and made with cotton and a polyester fill.
-
- My Enameled Cast Iron pots are great to use all year long, year after year. These pieces heat slowly and evenly and are compatible with gas, electric, glass and induction cooktops.
-
- These candy cane-inspired stripes add a festive look to this trio of mixing bowls in three different sizes – all microwave and dishwasher safe.
-
- Set the table for entertaining with my Royal Blush Collection featuring dinnerware, serving pieces, and glassware with seasonal motifs and metallic accents.
-
- These piece are from my Cabin in The Woods Collection – mugs, canisters and other accessories, all decorated with vintage-inspired patterns or motifs.
-
- This year, I am also offering gift baskets from iGourmet. This Luxury Hamper gift set includes Petrossian’s world-renowned caviar and delicately smoked salmon, ready-to-bake all-butter croissants, a selection of French cheeses, rich country pate, pungent grainy mustard, briny caper-berries, and more.
-
- My New England Breakfast gift basket offers pure Vermont maple syrup, cultured butter, lightly smoked apple wood bacon, award-winning cheeses, and my Organic, Fair Trade medium roast coffee.
-
- I just love my Martha’s Blend coffee by Barrie House. I use it all the time at my farm. It comes in whole beans, ground and single serve cups.
-
- I hope you already have my my 95th book, “Cookie Perfection.” It’s a great source for any time you want a sweet treat.
-
- This is “The Martha Manual,” a practical handbook filled with ideas, instructions and inspirations – how to set a table, how to care for houseplants, how to decorate your home for every occasion, and so much more. Whether it’s organizing, celebrating, cleaning, decorating, or any number of other essential life skills, we’ve tested the tasks and provided useful solutions with lots of spectacular photographs that will help you do – almost – everything. Get one to give away and one for yourself.
-
- Go to Martha Stewart Wine Co., for some of my favorite selections in wines to pair with your holiday meal.
-
- Prep your bar so it’s ready to use when guests arrive. This Royal Blush Collection features pink barware pieces with a little pop of gold all your guests will love.
-
- For the New Year, if your resolution is to cook more often at home, try new recipes or eat healthier with my Martha & Marley Spoon meal kits. You’ll receive fresh pre-portioned ingredients and step-by-step recipe cards at your doorstep each week.
-
- If you want to be more organized in the New Year, write memos, reminders, and notes in my decorative notebooks from Staples. The unique binding system lets you re-arrange pages or add and remove sheets as needed. They also make great gifts.
-
- And order a monthly delivery of beautiful, fragrant, fresh-cut roses – for yourself or as a gift. It’s all part of our floral subscription program with BloomsyBox.com. I hope these ideas help you check more off your “holiday to-do list” this weekend!
