Check out our favorite holiday hacks from our holiday guides to help you sail smoothly through this holiday season!

Decoration Hacks

• Need more decorations in a pinch?

Use what you have. Make a wreath with leftover ornaments, transform a blanket into a tree skirt, or tie a string around gingerbread men to hang them around the house.

• Want to kid-proof your tree before family comes to visit?  

Prevent kids from knocking down the tree by placing fake, weighted gift boxes around it. These help hold up the tree and keep little hands away.

Gift Hacks

• Too many gifts to get with too few days left?

Create a bunch of gifts at once that are packaged and ready to go by filling multiple jars with pre-measured cookie ingredients. 

•  No time to wrap?

Reuse cardboard containers like cereal boxes and plastic wrap containers as a quick and eco-friendly gift box solution.

Travel Hacks

• Short on time to plan?

All you need to remember are these 3 tips for smooth traveling with kids!

• Trying to prepare the kids fast?

Make easy beaded number bracelets with your phone number so kids can call you if they get separated.

Hosting Hacks

• Want to save time with guests?

Make a welcome basket with water bottles, extra toiletries, and info like the Wi-Fi password or TV directions to give guests what they need before they ask. 

• Worried that unwrapping gifts will get out of hand?

Find a big box to hold discarded paper in. Cover the sides with colorful paper to make it a festive addition!

Cleaning Hacks

• Eager to clear out the holiday gifts?

If you want the new gifts out of the way, grab a basket to throw everything in until you have time to put things in their proper place.

• Made a mess that’s hard to pick up?

Sometimes the precision of a lint roller or a strip of tape is the perfect trick when it comes to picking up crumbs and such on soft surfaces.

Wishing you and yours the happiest (and smoothest) holiday this year!
