Deck The Halls

As the year
winds down, attention turns to decking the halls with festive seasonal décor.
As your kids rush home for winter break, hand over these quirky critter
ornaments from Ladies & Gentlemen Studio as a special early gift, and let
them pick a special spot in the house to hang them (no need to limit the
festivities to the tree or mantle). —

These eco-chic
knick-knacks are made from rustic birch wood and covered with cheerful,
vintage wallpaper in a variety of psychedelic patterns. The best part? The
all-natural materials make it super-easy to draw or write on the surface – snap
up the Forest Set and spend an evening with the
whole family doodling, or inscribing the ornaments with warm winter wishes.
