#1: Citrus Bowl
Price: $5 (for a bag of mandarin oranges)

#3: Fringed Throw Pillow
UO Magical Thinking Velvet Fringe Pillow
Price: $49
Why We Love It: Add some plush to your seating areas this winter with a bit of velvet. We recommend a rich, warm shade such as gold, burgundy, spruce green, or persimmon orange to add even more coziness. And if you can find one with fringe, poms, or tassels---you've got it made.

#4: Winter Scented Candles
Fresh Balsam by Bath & Body Works
Price: $22.50 (3-Wick Candle)
Why We Love It: One of my favorite parts of winter is lighting Bath & Body Works's Fresh Balsam candle and filling our little home with the scent of crisp eucalyptus, fir needles, and cedar wood musk.
-
#5: Cool Winter Tunes
Joe Cool's Blues by Wynton Marsalis & Ellis
Price: $4
Why We Love It: Mellow out this winter to the sounds of jazz kings Wynton Marsalis & Ellis as they play Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown classics with a jazzy edge.

#6: Mini Trees
Price: $24 - $49
Why We Love Them: These mini trees will punch up any mantlepiece or tabletop in an instant. Plus, they're freeze dried, so no watering necessary and you can store them until next winter!
-
#7: Indoor String Lights
Price: $29.95 - $49.95
Why We Love Them: I love any excuse to fill our home with sparkly string lights, but those plastic green or white cords are not the cutest. Bright Lab's playful string lights are the perfect home accessory, any time of year---and they do custom colors!
-
#8: Mercury Glass
Price: $5
Why We Love Them: Now that we have little T barreling through the house, we had to pack up our delicate coffee table vases and tuck them in storage for safekeeping. Thankfully, we can still bring out our vintage inspired mercury glass tealights for our mantlepiece this holiday. Mercury glass is beautiful any season, but when lit with a tealight it adds that touch of winter magic we all wish for.
