If you're hosting a gathering in the upcoming days, you may be scrambling around for a simple, festive centerpiece idea: one that looks clean, modern, and can be created quickly.
First and foremost, a great looking bowl filled with any fruit (we prefer all one kind/one color).
More ideas below, and If you've got a great suggestion, let us know!
- In a glass jar, place dried cranberries with white spider mums on top.
- Fill your favorite bowl with pine cones.
- Use a vase or goblet with candy canes perched around the edge.

I love making pomanders at Christmas. A bowl of oranges with a couple of pomanders on top is beautiful. (Try to buy the whole cloves in bulk). You can also tie ribbons around the pomanders to make them fancier. You can even hang these pretty gals from your Christmas tree branches as ornaments. I like to make them with family, much like people sit together and make popcorn garland.
Embellished (or even plain) branches (such as birch), in a vase, with glass marbles, &tc, to keep them in place.
