In one word, Ree Drummond's Christmas décor style could be best summed up as "personal," and that's true of DIY Christmas gift ideas, too. "Ornaments should never be purchased in bundles," she says. "The ones on my tree are a mix of crafted childhood ornaments and sweet, sentimental ornaments we've been gifted through the years. Some of them are dented, some are chipped and some are definitely broken, but I'm a sucker for a tree that isn't too sparkly and shiny."
