A house becomes a home more and more during the holidays. As stockings are hung around the mantle and mistletoes are placed throughout the home, the house begins to take shape into a home. The lights as they sparkle on the Christmas tree and the fine china with red and green trim that sets the table for family to enjoy; are what gives an home the holiday cheer. Even though the Holidays are the times in which many Black Southern Belles add more cheerful and seasonal decor to their home, there may still be a few pieces that are missing when the holiday decor gets put away.Â
Before the season arrives and after the Christmas season leaves, the most standard and natural home decor is placed throughout the home. The table goes back to its simple yet Southern & stylish setting and decor goes back to the Black Southern Belle everyday aesthetic. Since there are ways in which a Southern Belle and Southern Beau changes the decor in the home, home items would serve as a perfect holiday gift and enhance their down-south or lowcountry style.
During the holiday season there shouldn’t be a reason that you can’t think of what to buy someone near and dear to you, because there are common needs and wants of Black Southern Belles; like home decor & kitchen items. If you know a new Southern home buyer or a transplant home buyer with Southern roots and appreciation, below are a few items that would serve as perfect gifts for the holidays.Â
