Tinsel and garlands
These are classic Christmas ornaments and can be used to transform any home or Christmas tree into a festive wonderland. Garlands can be draped artistically around the mantel to complement the Christmas stockings and can even be wrapped around staircase banister to give a wintery touch. Make sure to keep away tinsel and garland away from pets as they can be tempted to play and nibble on it.

Tree toppers
