Vacation Memories Preserved in Glass
Loosely crumple a map from your family vacation and fit it into a hurricane. Slide mementos—ticket stubs, photos, matchbooks—in between the map and glass, letting the folds and creases in the map hold things in place.

Fruit-and-Candle Table Display
Next time you find gorgeous fruit at the farmer's market or grocery store, grab an extra bunch. Start by placing a runner on the dining table, buffet or coffee table. Space matching or contrasting Yankee® candles in yummy scents evenly down the runner, then place your fruit between and around the candles.

Give a Housewarming Gift With a Personal Touch
Get a gift subscription for a home decor magazine along with the latest issue, tie together with ribbon and present in a hurricane as a friend's or new neighbor's housewarming gift. Invite her along on your next shopping trip—or offer to help her hang pictures or paint a room.

Decorations With Some Story Value
Your attic and basement are great sources of decorations with stories attached. Grandma's cake pedestal makes the perfect display for an arrangement of candles. An old bird cage can be filled with candles and hung from the ceiling or placed on a table. Votives look great inside each compartment of an old milk bottle carrier or jar caddy.

Stacked Books Make Great Décor
Stack a group of favourite hardcover books—old school textbooks, travel guides or favourite childhood stories—from largest to smallest (three to five will look best). Place a topiary, collection of framed photos or candle on the top and feature the display on a coffee table, desk or even the floor.
