Cool wreath with LED’s
Check out this wreath, its right for the holidays, offering a bit of 8 bit design and this decoration even comes with its own flickering LED’s to get the festive season off to the right start.
These are the details for the cool 8 bit style Christmas wreath;
One of our favourite craft projects as wee geeks was the candy wreath. We took a metal clothes hanger, bent it into a circle, and then used curling ribbons to tie hard candies and bull’s eye caramels to the frame. Then our mom used the scissors to curl all the ribbons because we totally sucked at that part. However, that is okay, because while she did that we ate the leftover candies.

These are the details on the Cordless Christmas Tree Candles;
The base of each candle has a powerful magnet that attaches to a swivelling green spring clip, allowing them to be positioned at any angle–even upside down–on Christmas trees, garland, or other trim, or they can be affixed directly to ferromagnetic metal.

Yoda says, Christmas it is!
When it comes to a tree topper, there cannot be anyone more appropriate than Yoda, he comes from the stars and has a little bit of wisdom to share too, a true angel indeed!
Here are the details for the Star Wars Yoda Tree Topper;
Yoda’s been known to hover. We are not sure, if this is as natural as breathing for someone who has attained such mastery of the Force or if he does it to show off and impress lesser Jedi. Either way, we figured the natural place for a Jedi Master during the holidays would be on top of the tree. In addition, lo and behold, that is where we found Yoda.
