All of these mailbox wraps are designed to fit a standard size 18 x 21 inch metal box. There are magnetic strips that easily hold the wrap onto the mailbox but won’t damage the box.

Some of the designs above also have matching garden flags if you are interested as well.

Christmas Evergreen Mailbox Swag Decoration

Another simple way to decorate your mailbox for Christmas is using a beautiful evergreen swag decoration.

These swags can be bought or you can buy the supplies at a craft store and make your very own if you wish. You’ll even find some mailbox swag decorations that have lights that are set on a timer so it adds even more of a special effect to your box.

The swag simply goes over the top of your mailbox and attaches on with some string or some fasteners that can wrap around the box.

These ribbon toppers tend to be more on the whimsical and fun side where the evergreen ones tend to have more of a classic Christmas style.

Again, you can make your own ribbon topper if you feel crafty or save yourself even more time this holiday and buy one of the pre-made ones below.

The nice thing about using a swag is that they can be used on plastic or other material boxes unlike the covers and wraps that can only be used on metal.

Wrapped Christmas Ribbon or Garland

One decorating idea for Christmas that will cost you hardly anything is to simply wrap your mailbox along with the post with Christmas ribbon or even with deco mesh.

Starting at the front of the mailbox or at the bottom of your post, simply just wrap the ribbon in a diagonal pattern to cover the whole entire thing. If you wish you can add a bow on top of the box with the matching ribbon or a complimentary ribbon.

You can even add in a simple red bow that you can find at the dollar store on the back of your mailbox or the post to add a bit more to it.

If you don’t mind paying a bit more of you simply have some extra lying around, you could also do the same with evergreen garland as well.

Big Red Christmas Bow

Keep it real simple and easy this Christmas and just tie on a big red bow onto the post of your mailbox.

You can always find large red bows (or other colors) at your local discount stores or you could spend an extra few dollars on a nice, unique red bow as well. Just be sure that the bow can be used outdoors especially if you live in area where it snows or rains quite a bit.

The bow just adds a simple and classic touch to your mailbox and looks good with just about  any other outdoor Christmas decoration you may have in your yard.

Decorating your mailbox for Christmas is a great way to add some holiday spirit to your yard and welcome friends and family to your home this season.

It doesn’t take a lot of time or even effort but it may just put a smile on your face or your neighbor’s face each day.

Christmas Porch Decorating Ideas

If you are interested in buying one of these signs for your porch and looking for some inspiration on decorating, here are a few ideas to help inspire the perfect holiday get-up for your home.

If you plan on using one of the larger signs (5 feet or taller) then the sign may be all that you need if you have a smaller porch, especially if you just have a small stoop or stairs in front of your home.

You can place the sign in the corner of your house or you can balance it against a side railing depending on the design of your porch. You want the sign to be able to be visible to visitors as well as to people driving by but you don’t want it to be in the way of getting in and out of your door.

If you have a larger front porch or if you are lucky enough to even have a porch that covers almost your entire front of your home, then you can always add some more decorations along with your sign.

With a larger porch you can still place the sign by your front door or in the corner, but you do have more options. You can balance in front of porch column on top of the stairs or even place it in the middle of your porch in the middle of your rocking chairs.

Some other decorations that you could pair with the Christmas signs include a small Christmas tree (plain or decorated) and a wooden box or basket filled with Christmas trinkets such as ornaments or pine cones.

As mentioned you can even utilize the porch furniture you already have to enhance the sign. An example would be placing the sign on a small table you have on the porch or even on a chair so that it is more visible.

Get really creative and use something like a wooden wagon or wooden sled decorated with evergreen and ribbon on your porch. The rustic and country style signs would go perfect with this decorating idea.

Of course Christmas lights and green garland are great traditional decorations that could easily be paired with one of these signs as well.

Christmas porch signs are a great way to decorate the outside of your home and there truly are so many ideas that you can use to incorporate these decorations.

An outdoor light projector definitely has its perks as it most can be used to decorate for other holidays as well as they can be used in conjunction with other Christmas lights and decorations if you wanted as well.

The Best Christmas Light Projectors for Your Home

When it comes to outdoor light projectors you have two main types that most people use for Christmas time.

The first are the light projectors that display a Christmas scene or pattern. These are used in one area, usually on the wall of your house or on the garage and they will display the image that you choose.

The other are the laser light projectors that will project a design, such as twinkling dust or snowflakes over a wider area of space. These laser light projectors are great for covering your house, trees, or other areas on your yard to make them appear as if you have hung Christmas lights in those areas.

Which projector you choose to decorate your home with all depends on what type of lights you want displayed as well as the area of your yard that you want to decorate.

Check out my selections for both types of these outdoor Christmas light projectors.

Outdoor Christmas Projector

Not only can you use this cool projector light for Christmas but you can also use it for Halloween as well as other events like weddings and birthdays as well.

It comes with 10 pattern lenses to use on the light including snowflakes, snowmen with Christmas trees, hearts, moons and stars, skulls, and much more.

The patterns rotate around to appear as if the images are moving.

You can either buy the light to display in just white (as seen above) or you can buy the multi-colored light for some more color (this would work better if you have a white house or light colored home).

The thing that I really like about this light is that you get more use out it than just at Christmas for a few weeks.

It can be used outdoors as well as indoors for events as well. Like most other projection lights, do keep in mind that the image diameter will depend on where you place the light. Most homes may need two lights to entirely cover their home but it’s still cheaper and easier than hanging lights on your house.

Here is an idea of what the light looks like in the multi-colored when displayed outdoors.

Merry Christmas Santa with Reindeer Light Projector

Christmas Projection Lights

Red and Green Laser Light Projector

Skip hanging any lights from your roof this year and instead check out this red and green laser light projector.

When you place this projector in front of your home, trees, or walkway, it appears that you have thousands of little lights decorating the space.

The nice thing about this projector when compared to other laser light projectors for Christmas is that this ones allows you to choose from a few different modes. You can pick just green light, just red light, the combination of red and green light as well as flashing lights.

Here is an example of what this projector can look like to give you a better idea of how it can decorate your yard and home.

Another reason why I like this projector is that it does have a timer so you don’t have to worry about the lights being on all night long and you don’t have to worry about having to personally turn them off every night.

It’s definitely worth the money if you want something different this holiday season to either add to your current display or to simply replace the lights you used to have to climb on a ladder to hang on your house or landscaping.

You can even use the sparkling lights other times of the year for things such as a backyard party during summer time.

You can have dancing, swirling snowflakes on the outside of your home and it doesn’t even have to be snowing outside.

This light will project 6-8 white snowflakes on any flat wall or surface including the exterior of your home and garage.

It is a soft LED light so it doesn’t use a lot of energy and it’s soft on your eyes as well.

Just be aware that you most likely will need at least 2 of the lights to cover the outside of your home if you want swirling all over.

One thing to keep in mind is with this projector it is not meant to be super bright and light up your whole home like traditional Christmas lights. Instead it is just supposed to give off the snow effect so that people around the area can see.

One advantage of having the snow flurries projector is that you can use it longer than just during Christmas time as you can use it all winter long if you wanted.
