Spode is one of those super nostalgic brands and right now, you can score this Wayfair-exclusive dinnerware set for 69% off! Crafted in England from fine earthenware, the iconic Christmas Tree collection dates all the way back to 1938. Post owned some pieces growing up and says the pattern brings back all the festive holiday feelings.
This large bowl is a beautiful addition to your holiday table, but Post encourages you to use it throughout the season for a little extra cheer.

These gorgeous six-foot faux Christmas garlands will help you get a head start on decking the halls! They’re “Wayfair Verified,” meaning the retailer’s product specialists have thoroughly inspected and tested them to ensure great value and quality.
They come in a set of two with each garland adorned with a dusting of faux snow, red berries and pinecones, plus 50 LED lights that can be set to steady or twinkle, per the brand. Since they’re battery-operated they don’t need to be near a plug, which makes decorating easier. And thanks to a timer function you can be sure the lights will go out each night, no extra effort required. Post recommends hanging them from a mantel, wrapping them around a banister, displaying them on your front porch or even using them as a centerpiece on your dining table. And since they’re faux, you won’t have to constantly clean up pine needles.
Add to the cozy holiday ambiance with these flameless pillar candles, which cast a warm and welcoming glow without the open flame. They come in a set of nine with three different heights, making them ideal for one large display or breaking them up into groups of three. And since they’re unscented and come with a remote control and timer function, Post loves them for entertaining.
Welcoming family and friends to stay over the holidays? This flannel sheet set from Eddie Bauer is sure to keep them cozy. With a brushed finish on both sides, Post calls them “super soft.” Better yet, they come in 48 different styles, from tiny Christmas tree prints to plaids, so you can go in on the holiday vibes or stick to a broader winter theme. Each set comes with two pillowcases, a flat sheet and a fitted sheet, which boasts deep pockets to help keep it in place, per the brand.
Last but not least, Post believes that it’s not a party without a fabulous grazing board to elevate your hosting game. With this in mind, she found a variety of beautiful Farberware bamboo boards that are functional too, thanks to clever locking lids that allow you to transport your charcuterie spread to the neighborhood potluck with ease. This round board has five compartments on the serving side, making it perfect for spreads with a dip in the center.
This savvy board has six compartments on the serving side, ideal for separating cheeses, crackers, dried fruits and more. Alternatively, the opposite flat side works as a cutting board, allowing you to chop veggies, slice cheeses and more.
This three-compartment board is excellent for serving a crowd. Post even says it makes a great gift for the host or hostess in your life.
With an elongated design, this board makes a great centerpiece for rectangle and oval tables.
