Juniper branches around windows and mirrors.  Wire branches together and decorate with a shimmering garland. Tip: Look in the wedding section of the craft store for white and clear items to add shine.

Discarded tree branch, decorated with twinkle lights and a few baubles.  This one was secured to a pipe with pipe cleaners.  A smaller version would work well inside.

Using leftover yarn in place of ribbon for gift wrapping. Wind cotton or wool yarn around presents (solid-color paper looks best) a few times for thin stripes or several times more for thick ones. Use a fuzzy yarn to give packages a cozy texture. Combine different yarns for colorful striations. Knot strands tightly on the bottom of each box. If desired, tie a bow on top.
