Our young family is just getting into the groove of Christmas, the kids are old enough to understand what's going on and I'm eager to start setting up some traditions. Growing up my mom had a few decor items she pulled out every Christmas, a dough chef my brother sculpted and a framed photo of me riding a rocking horse to name a few. I'm a sucker for traditions and I'm excited to start building some with my family. As part of the Modern Handmade Home Series we partnered with Personalization Mall to select some key pieces to become part of our family Holiday traditions. Here are some modern Holiday mantel ideas that incorporate some personalized holiday items.

The two holiday signs above are great pieces to pull out every year as a tradition. You can literally write whatever you want on them and the process is super easy (plus they give you suggestions of what to write). My husband was a bit confused at first saying "we don't own a tree farm???" I told him it's cool, don't worry about it. I also picked up this personalized flower pot which is so versatile for future plants, small Christmas trees or logs.



My favourite thing at the Personalization Mall (among the hundreds of things they offer), are the cable knit stockings. They're made of great quality and the embroidery is beautiful (super customization options from font to colours).
