12 days of Christmas - Days 7 - 11

The holiday buzz has kept me busy!  So today, I'm catching up on the last 5 days of missed lines.

"On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, seven swans a swimming...."

So there's no swans on the Homefront team, but there are plenty of beautiful birds.  Check out this peace dove, perfect for any day of the year!

"On the eight day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eight maids a milking..."

Those maids worked really hard to make sure we got all the milk we need - for our bellies and our bodies!

"On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, nine ladies dancing..."

How cute would 8 more of these lovely ladies be, dancing around in their little tu-tu's?

"On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, ten lords a leaping...."

When I think of Christmas, one of the first things that pop into my head are these "lords" of Christmas!  I can just picture the nutcrackers leaping across the stage, battling the rats in the holiday ballet of "The Nutcracker".

12 days of Christmas - Day 5

Ok, belay my last.  Yesterday I skipped ahead in the song...and made it four golden rings, instead of four calling birds.  And here I thought I had the song memorized to heart!  But since I already featured some rings, today I'll use the line I was supposed to yesterday.  (Super sorry to those gung-ho Christmas song conniseurs!)

"On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me five calling birds...."


We will know technology will have gone too far, when we see these little guys with cell phones.  Could you imagine?  I know I can't.

In leiu of actual "calling birds", I found this fun sleeve for the ever popular e-readers featuring colorful birds (without cell phones) featured in one of the Homefront Team's shops.

12 days of Christmas - Day 3

"On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me three french hens..."

I'm not so sure I would really want french hens for Christmas, but having these Paris, France seals might add a little pizzaz when I send a special note to my true love.

I think if any bird should be french, it would be the dazzling peacock.  Check out this pretty hair clip featuring a peacock feather!

12 days of Christmas - Day 2

"On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two turtledoves...."

I'm not sure what a turtle dove actually looks like, hoping that it doesn't look like this (and after a google search, it was confirmed that it doesn't):

 Here are some fun homefront team items featuring birds and turtles.

12 days of Christmas - Day 1

Welcome December 1st, and the official start of the Christmas Countdown - only 24 shopping days left before the big man gets here!

To help you out fill your special holiday lists, the Homefront Team welcomes you to join us on our tribute to the 12 Days of Christmas (yes, we know the 12 days don't really start at the beginning of December, but we thought this would be fun).

Each day for the next 12 days, we will feature some fabulous items that you can find in some wonderful team members shops, inspired by the song.

So let's get started.....

"On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a Partridge in a Pear Tree."

We definitely had to take a little creative license with this line, since the Homefront Team is fresh out of Partridges (birds or band members) in their shops.  But these fun origami crane earrings were so detailed, and lovely that we didn't think any Partridges would mind sharing the spotlight.  Check out the other great bird items sold by our team here.

There are so many awesome tree-inspired items available for sale, that it was hard to choose just one.  But this one seemed ready to hold as many Partridges and Pears on it's branches as it could!  Find more tree-inspired items sold here.
