3. Stop Shivering With Potted Trees
When it comes to Christmas, there’s nothing more festive than a potted tree. It creates a focal point in your home and makes you feel like you’re right in the middle of all the action.
But not all potted trees are created equal! If you want to create an arrangement that is stylish, charming and unique, then follow these tips:
Choose plants with different colours and textures. The beauty of using plants as decorations is their variety—you can choose from hundreds of different species to create striking combos that will make guests gasp with delight when they see them for the first time.
Make sure your pot has enough space for your new plant friends too; if it’s too small, then you’ll end up squeezing things together which can result in damage or even death for some types of flora (that would be sad).

4. Put On A Festive Face
Face Mask: A face mask is a great way to relax and enjoy yourself on Christmas. You can make your own DIY face mask or purchase one from the store. You can also use facial scrubs, which are basically like face masks but more exfoliating in nature.
Face Pack: Like a mask, this is also good for relaxing and taking some time away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It’s similar in many ways, but it generally uses ingredients that are less drying than those used in masks (like clay).
5. Warm Up With Pampered Plants
- Plant potted plants in the garden.
- Plant potted plants in the house.
- Use potted plants to decorate your home.
- Use potted plants to decorate your garden.

6. Adorn Your Garden Gates And Walls
Whether you have a garden gate or a wall that you want to decorate, there are plenty of options for Christmas decorations.
Fairy lights are ideal for this purpose as they can be used outside in the winter months. You could also use Christmas decorations such as wreaths and outdoor Christmas ornaments to add some festive flair.
If you have an artificial Christmas tree, why not bring it out of storage and place it somewhere that’s easy to see from the road so that visitors know where they’re going?
Finally, if all else fails, why not put up some signs telling people where they can find your house?
Adorning Garden Gates and Walls Ideas
| Idea | Description |
|---|---|
| Garlands | Drape garlands of evergreens, fairy lights, or ribbons on your garden gates and walls to create a festive entrance to your outdoor space. |
| Festive Wreaths | Hang wreaths made of pinecones, holly, or other festive materials on your garden gates and walls. |
| Climbing Plants | Train climbing plants to grow up and around your garden gates and walls to give them a lush, natural look. |
| Hanging Baskets | Hang baskets filled with colorful flowers or holiday plants from your garden gates and walls to add a burst of color. |
| Outdoor Art | Add outdoor art, such as a colorful mosaic, to your garden gates and walls to create a unique and eye-catching focal point. |
These ideas will help you to add a festive touch to your garden gates and walls, making them more visually appealing and creating an inviting entrance to your outdoor space.
7. Have A Hoot With Pot Hangers
- Use a clothes hanger to hang your pot.
How to do it: Take the hook off of your hanger, place it over the top of your pot, and screw in. You can hang this anywhere you like—in a tree or on the wall!
- Grow herbs in a pot hanger.
How to do it: Place an herb into your container of choice (if you’re using one). Then, use another container as support so that they don’t fall out while they grow!
- Grow vegetables in a pot hanger.
How to do it: Pick up some seeds at the local store or online and follow their instructions for planting them in dirt with water nearby until they sprout roots before putting them into whatever kind of container works best for each type of vegetable (i.e., tomatoes need taller containers than lettuce does).
The best part about growing vegetables? They’ll come out looking super cute when done correctly!

There are many different styles of bird feeder available, from simple wooden boxes to large metal ones that look like toys. If you’re feeling creative then why not make your own? Just add some peanut butter inside an old tin can and hang it up outside (but don’t forget to put holes in the bottom first!).
No matter what type of bird feeder you choose, they will be sure to bring some extra colour into your garden during these dark winter months.
