Lamps galore
Convert the recently bought Diwali lamps into decor items for the tree. You can also hang them around the house or in the front yard to add some festive vibes to the house. Want to be more creative? Use a few plastic cartons and fill it up with water and turn them into whimsical ice lanterns which you can display outdoors. Don’t we all want a white Christmas anyway?
Orange garland
Oranges come with an amazing accent and have a vibrant look! Tie a few dried oranges together with some leaves and make a garland out of it. You can tie this one anywhere in the kitchen and it will only add some zing and colour to the house.
Scrabble your tree
Christmas is an amazing time to play board games with the family. Whether it is games for the kids or for the adults - board games can bring the family together. Well, you can also make decorations with the board games. How? We are talking about Scrabble. Use the tiles and stick them on a soft board in the shape of a Christmas tree. Now that’s not just it. Play a mini Scrabble and make words as you design the tree. The more festive words you use, the more amazing the tree will look!
These simple tips are easy to follow and can add that little zing to your house especially for the upcoming frost festive season! We wish you have a cheerful Christmas, and a fun-filled holiday season!

Luxuriant locks
Wind back the clock on “old” tresses with Kerstase’s Chronologiste gift set. The longer the hair, the older it is. This collection, which includes shampoo, mask and leave-in heat protector treatment, is formulated to revitalize hair back to newgrowth condition by infusing it with hyaluronic acid, abyssine and vitamin E.
