If you are in need of some gift ideas for that home decorator on your shopping list, here is a small list that I compiled for someone who loves farmhouse decor. Almost everything on this list ships for free and I did check to make sure the items would arrive before the holidays (that could change at anytime though so don't hold me to it if you're finding this list a week before Christmas!).

Not only are cranberry desserts absolutely delish, they add a festive touch to your holiday table that most people can't resist. Cranberry pairs perfectly with orange and white chocolate and makes cookies and cakes especially yummy.
Below are my favorite Christmas cranberry dessert recipes from some very talented bloggers. I'm sure you'll find one or three that you will want to add to your holiday baking! Don't forget to pin this post to your holiday baking pin board!

On one of our many trips to Lanesboro, MN last year I came across this quirky and fun Minnesota What You Need To Know map that I knew would make a great addition to our guest room. When I brought it up to the register at the Slant Avenue Mercantile the guy behind the counter told me that IKEA had several frames that would fit this map perfectly. I thought between the cost of the map ($5) and the cost of the frame (I was guessing less than $10), this would make for some inexpensive decor.

Just because it's fall it doesn't mean that your window boxes have to be empty and lifeless. Fall can be very pretty for a few weeks when the leaves are at their peak color, but what about after the leaves have fallen? I wanted to keep those bright oranges and yellows around until at least Thanksgiving because once the snow flies, it will feel like forever until spring is here.

I'm a tad bit embarrassed that I'm just getting my fall decor up now - so "late" in October. Seems reasonable enough, but when I think about how I had everything up at the end of August last year, I feel really far behind. Fall is my favorite time to decorate and I like to keep it around as long as possible since the rich warm colors work so well in our home so I'm surprised I waited so long. But if it's one thing I've learned over the years when it comes to home decor, if you force it, you'll never be happy with it.
This year I needed inspiration to get moving with my fall decor. I wasn't about to just pull out my totes of fall decor from last year and put everything in the same exact place. There is no fun or creativity in that. I just had to be patient and wait for something to come along to get me moving.
