Time to Renew Your Christmas Wreaths and Garlands

When Should You Update Your Wreaths and Garlands?

There’s something special about unpacking your wreaths and garlands each year. These pieces set the tone for the whole season. From the welcome at the front door to the greenery on your mantel. They’re part of the tradition.

But like anything used year after year, they can start to show their age. And that’s okay. Sometimes it’s not about replacing everything, just freshening things up so your home feels festive again.

Signs Yours Might Be Ready for a Refresh

If you’ve used the same wreath or garland for years, take a moment to really look at it. Does it still have that wow factor? Here are a few signs it might be time to update:

• Colours have faded, especially if they’ve spent time in our strong Australian sun

• Broken or missing decorations from last year that need replacing

• The shape isn’t holding anymore due to storage or age

• No matter how much you dust, it still looks tired

You don’t have to get rid of everything. But even swapping out one piece, like your front door wreath, can make a big difference to your whole setup.

Why So Many Customers Keep Coming Back

We’ve been helping people decorate for Christmas for over 30 years, and we often hear this:

“I bought my tree from you 18 years ago, it still looks amazing.”

That’s not unusual.

Our customers tell us their decorations still hold up year after year. And when they do come back, it’s not to replace, it’s to add. They’ll say things like, “I got these UV baubles when you were at your old store, and they haven’t faded at all. I would like to add in some more - I can't believe the colour is still the same.”

That’s what happens when you invest in quality from the start.

How to Help Yours Last Even Longer

Looking after your greenery properly can give you years of extra life. Here are a few simple tips:

• Store them in solid containers with lids

• Keep them somewhere cool and dry, not in a shed or roof space

• Wrap anything delicate so it doesn’t get crushed

• Give them a gentle clean before packing them away

• If you can, hang your wreaths so they keep their shape

It doesn’t take much, just a bit of care after the season ends.

Why Add Something New?

Sometimes it’s not about replacing anything. You just want a few new pieces to mix in.

Who doesn’t love new decorations? Maybe a garland to match your new colour scheme. Or an extra wreath for the back door. It’s a nice way to freshen up your collection without starting over.

Some good reasons to add something new:

• You want to match a new look or theme

• Your style has changed

• You want to make decorating easier (pre-lit options are a game changer)

• You’re building your collection a little more each year

Even one new piece can give your whole home a lift.
