If you’re trying to find ways to wow your guests when they walk through the door, sometimes all you need is some unique decorations. Most of my favorite show stoppers have been homemade or finely crafted woodwork. They look like they come directly from Santa’s workshop!

Clever Creations is filled with fun and festive Christmas decorations. Some of my favorites are the wooden Advent calendars and dioramas.
The 24 Day wooden Advent calendar diorama is a piece of art. There are a lot of little details that I notice as I keep looking at it, such as how Santa and his reindeer pop out against the snowy landscape. Even the sky looks three dimensional with some clouds appearing closer. I love the Christmas village on the top!
It would be so cute to hang this star shadow box in the hallway during the holidays. That way I can catch the kids sneaking out of bed to peek at Santa as he delivers his gifts!
This festive red reindeer Advent calendar is adorable. Each little drawer can contain small knickknacks, candies, or coins to celebrate each day of December. I love the white contrasting knobs, they look like baubles on a Christmas tree!
This is a beautiful nativity scene, especially when lit up. It features baby Jesus as the focus surrounded by his mother Mary and father Joseph. Above his head is the Star of Bethlehem shining bright!
If you want an elaborately crafted Christmas Village Advent calendar this is for you! I adore the skier and his dog in the forefront of the village. What is cool about this advent calendar is that the scene with Santa and his reindeer actually lights up! This wooden Advent calendar has a vintage feel to it with the light stenciling of the numbers on each drawer and how each character is stylized.
A beautiful Christmas angel lantern will light up your living room during Christmas Eve and Day. I love the unique elongated pyramid shape. The glow from the LED lights will have your guests wondering if there’s a candle inside.
All I can think is “Welcome Home for Christmas” when I see this wooden house Advent calendar. Originally, I did not know this was an Advent calendar, because I was so enamored by the beautiful Christmas items that light up the inside. All the drawers are on the sides of the house – how clever!
Beautiful LED stars twinkle in the background of this wooden Christmas countdown Advent calendar. I can really imagine Santa flying with Rudolph and all his other reindeer delivering presents!
The thing I love most about Clever Creations wooden dioramas and Advent calendars is that they are timeless. I can pass these along to my niece or someone else in my family. Hopefully they will cherish it as much as I would.
