Christmas Decorating Ideas For Mailbox

Plow & Hearth; Grandin Road

It's easy to get caught up with decorating your house from top to bottom for the holidays, but what about your mailbox? It may be the very first impression visitors get of your home (especially if you live at the end of a long driveway!), so don't leave it off of your deck-the-halls checklist. These swags — yes, they are really called that — are like mini garlands for your mailbox, so they're outdoor-safe, and many of them light up too!

While you can always make your own Christmas mailbox decor with authentic evergreen boughs, these store-bought versions are much more durable and can be reused year after year. Scroll on to check out our favorite mailbox decorations that you can buy right now!
