Deck the halls with beautiful, personalised decor that will make Christmas feel even more special this year

Christmas is meant to be celebrated with dancing lights, high spirits, and full of colour. Although the holidays will be spent at home the second time around, it's never a bad idea to decorate your home like usual. This year, decorate your home with ornaments that remind you of the most important gift of all: your loved ones. 

1. Holiday Themes

This Christmas, instead of decorating your home with the same traditional theme, transform it into something unique. At Rustan's, you can choose from a myriad of holiday decor that can fit any theme you can think of, including Christmas village, pink holiday chic, Christmas woodland, adventures of the nutcracker, or even turn your home into a completely Filipino holiday by using locally made accents.

Decorate the tree with photos of your loved ones on star ornaments, whether you want to present your family tree or just want to add more personality to the room. It's also a great way to remember late family members or those who will be spending the season away from home.

Complete the tree with a skirt to cover up the base which might throw off the glow of your tree. A fun option would be to have your family name embroidered on a Christmas tree skirt.
