On The First Day...An incarnation of the beloved carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” this partridge cozily nesting in her pear tree is actually a pair of salt and pepper shakers. The set brings rustic charm to holiday table settings with its old-time look. Made of stoneware clay and finished in a soft white glaze, the shakers are supported by a cast-iron tree with a bronze finish. Find the set at potterybarn.com.

All that glitterSThis whimsical Tangle Globe pendant by Artecnica features a specially designed plated-metal garland suspended in a glass globe. Designed by Tord Boontje, the garland is easily removed and can be interchanged with another. The globe also can be kept empty for a minimalist look. The light is available at wayfair.com.

Creature COmfortsStockings hung by the chimney with care stand out this season with faux fur trim. The Luxe Faux Collection includes stockings accented with finely spun strands to re-create the weight, color and suppleness of genuine fur. Colorways include mink, coyote, lynx, arctic fox, sable and chinchilla. The line also includes faux fur throws, wine bags, beanbags, pillows and tree skirts.
