Home Trends | Thanksgiving Essentials

Even though our gatherings will no doubt be smaller this year, that doesn’t mean they need to be any less festive! Little details like beautiful brassy placecard holders (#5), napkin rings (#4), and salt and pepper shakers (#15) can go a long way to glam up a tablescape. We especially love them paired with more rustic/organic elements like a wooden cake stand (#8), serving board (#10), and appetizer plates (#16). Whatever your plans, we hope your Thanksgiving day is full of good food, good company, and good times!

Home Trends | Halloween Decor

It’s not too late to snag some festive finds for Halloween, especially as some items have already been marked down 😉 We’re loving the trend of hanging floating witches’ hats from a tree or porch ceiling, and the bats-in-flight motif around the front door is always a winner. Whatever your decorating and celebrating plans are, we hope you all have a safe and spooky holiday!

Home Trends | Hearth & Hand Holiday

The day has finally arrived…Target’s Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Holiday Shop is live! From adorable signage, to chic graphic table linens and essentials like tree skirts and ornaments—this shop is gold. Confession: last year I was so excited for those perfect stocking holders in the #2 spot that I bought them in the only remaining color and spray painted them black! Hurry over to Target before you have to go the DIY route like me 😉

Today we’ve got a round-up of gifts for all the moms out there on this special weekend! In case you’re searching for a little last minute inspiration, we’re loving gifts that serve as relaxing and entertaining activities like #4 and #11. Of course I’ve already heard from multiple moms that a little peace and quiet might be the greatest gift of all, so any combo of #6, #10, and #12 would certainly accomplish that! How are you celebrating Mother’s Day during these crazy times? Some extra appreciation is definitely in order this year 😉

We’re gearing up for a cookie exchange party over here! Have you been to one before? It’s pretty amazing. All the homemade, delicious cookies you can imagine. I love a good cookie exchange, because I get to try different cookies that I usually make at home.

Here are a couple of tips I’ve learned over the years to help make your party a success.

  1. INVITES
    I always use Evite or another online invite service because then people can rsvp and let everyone know what cookie they’ll be bringing, so no one brings the same cookies. Other guests can also see how many people are coming, so they know how many cookies to bake. I usually plan to have each guest take around 6 -12 cookies of each kind home with them.
  2. COOKIE CONTAINERS
    Speaking of bringing cookies home. You can either have guests repurpose the container they brought to store the cookies they’ve collected. Or these adorable santa-themed to-go containers would be perfect. 
  3. FAVORS
    Totally not necessary, but guests always appreciate that little extra touch. This year, I gifted mini spatulas, cookie cutters and whisks with a festive ribbon and gift tag.
  4. PLATTERS
    I always put out a bunch of empty platters so that guests can use them to display their cookies. And I also keep room available on the table for guests to use their own platters.
  5. COOKIE NAMES
    I add a few blank cards to the table so that guests can write the name of their cookie, sometimes it’s just so hard to tell what is what!
  6. RECIPES
    Another great tip is to have each guest bring enough copies of their cookie recipe on a standard recipe/note card. I put it on a separate table so that the guests can compile their own little mini-cookie cookbook at the end of the night. All you need to provide is a decorative front cover and either a stapler or a hole punch and string or brads.

This time around I had the kids help out and decorate the shortbread and gingerbread cookies. Gotta love the enthusiasm, right? World Market made it pretty easy on us by offering ready-made shortbread, along with frosting and sprinkles. I also picked up this gingerbread gnome kit. Because the more the merrier right? World Market literally had everything I needed for the party. I love it when you can everything done in one shopping trip!!

Home Trends | Modern Christmas Tree Stands

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from the Copy Cat Chic family to you and your's!

We always buy fresh Christmas trees. It makes it hard to live the life of a blogger though, since bloggers start decorating for Christmas earlier and earlier these days!

Nothing compares to a fresh cut tree though. I visit the same tree lot year after year because they have my beloved silver tip trees. We usually just have them put a stand on there and bring it home, and we did that this year too, but it’s just not standing straight. Plus, I can never get my tree collar to fit around it – I didn’t want to have to trim off 2 layers of branches either. So…I figured it was time to invest in a legit Christmas tree stand.

I wanted one that functioned as well as it looked and was reasonably priced. For some reason that was tall order. I finally found one that worked! I ordered it and it should be here tomorrow. I figured I’d share what I found in case you all are looking too!

The best modern, minimalist, Christmas tree stand holders for any budget. With tree stands that look this good, who needs a tree skirt or tree collar?! Our fave picks to give your home a warm and happy holiday vibe. Modern and Minimal Christmas Decor copycatchic luxe for less decor
