Unless you’re a magical gift-giving unicorn, you probably find the idea of getting the right holiday gifts for everyone on your list a little daunting. From figuring out what your loved ones would like most to finding options that fit your budget, the process can be more than a little stressful. Fortunately, Pinterest is making gift-giving a little easier for all of us this year. 

The social media platform recently released the Pinterest Shop, which features the most-searched holiday gift ideas on Pinterest. According to Aya Kanai, the company’s head of editorial partnerships, “The latest edit of the Pinterest Shop features hundreds of items from a combination of small businesses, Black-owned brands, and sustainable products.”

In other words, not

On the very best days, the holiday season means cozying up with loved ones in front of a fire, maybe with a cup of hot cocoa, and settling in for a great night of Netflix and relaxation. And fortunately for us all, Netflix is poised to deliver a great lineup to take us through the season. 

Our favorite pick so far? Holiday Home Makeover with Mr. Christmas. The streaming giant recently announced that it’s releasing this festive show just in time for Thanksgiving this Wednesday, November 18th. 

Hosted by Benjamin Bradley AKA Mr. Christmas, the show offers the perfect combination of festive flair and design candy. Bradley is a longtime interior designer who’s become well known for his love of Christmas decor, which seems nothing short of an obsession

With Halloween officially behind us, we’re plowing full steam ahead into the holiday season. Given that many of us will be spending the holidays at home this year, it feels extra crucial to give our decor a little more time and consideration than we might otherwise. And a great place to start is with your table decor. 

With so much of the holiday season revolving around breaking bread with loved ones, creating a beautiful tablescape is a wonderful way to set the tone for the season and get everyone into the holiday spirit. 

However, for those of us without the Martha Stewart gene, executing a killer tablescape design can feel tough, but it doesn’t have to. The following tips are simple to execute and they’ll leave you with a gorgeous tablescape

As much as we love furniture and decor, it’s tough to deny that furnishings have a sustainability problem. In fact, according to the EPA, landfills across the country receive 9.8 million tons of furniture waste per year. Fortunately, some furniture companies are looking to change that, like Model N. 

Led by a “devotion to technology, design, and environmental responsibility,” Model N 3D prints custom furniture on demand, helping to eliminate wasteful inventory. Plus, all of the company’s furnishings are made domestically with sustainably sourced materials. Many of the materials for the 3D printed pieces are actually sourced from the remains of food crops which would otherwise go to waste. And the furniture’s hardware is made from recyclable materials

COVID-19 has eliminated or seriously impacted most annual award events, but thankfully, one of our favorite events of the bunch is still going strong this year. Etsy recently announced its 100 finalists for the Etsy Design Awards, and they definitely don’t disappoint. 

If you're not familiar with the Etsy Design Awards, they started last year and highlight design-forward items from a variety of categories, including jewelry, clothing, art, and home and living. And one of our favorite aspects of this event is that all of the awardees are independent businesses, so not only does the event showcase beautiful design, but it also amplifies the work of hardworking artists, makers, and designers. 

Of course, being the interior

It’s hard to believe, but somehow we’re just a stone’s throw away from Halloween, which means that we get to enjoy another season of festive decor to help us forget what a spooky year 2020 has been.
