Also, considering how expensive garlands can be, they are relatively inexpensive. Hope this is helpful!

Hello Ellie and:welcome:

I, too, have seen the trend of using ribbon more and more recently. I think it's beautiful, but nothing will replace the tradition of garland for me.

Last year I used a sort of decoration that was a combo of Beads/Gardland. Although quite thin, I think it looked wonderful.

This year I think I'll go back to just Garland - it's fun (and inexpensive!!!)

Ribbon is what we use every year since 2006 before then it was like Beads or something :santa:

I have been noticing a lot more ribbon than anything else. I did see something that was pretty neat was a digital photo ornament. I gave one to my dad with pics of all the kids from Christmas's past

My vote is for garland although I love tinsel too! ... very vintage!

In 2010, I used only ornaments on my tree. In 2011, I used narrow gold ribbon.
