You put it off and put it off, and now, some how, some way, Christmas is less than two weeks away—and your decorations are sorely lacking. If you're looking to add a seasonal touch to your home in a hurry, then it's time to pick up some of the most traditional, beloved decorations around: holiday wreaths. If you're having visions of the homey but less-than-chic pieces that your dear old gran used to hang, think again: This décor has come a long way. Today's wreaths come in a wide range of styles and shapes that will lend a festive touch to even the most modern of homes. Whether you're looking for a super sophisticated arrangement or one that gives you serious nostalgia, we've pulled up the sleeves of our oh-so-fabulous ugly sweaters to find you the best holiday wreaths to make your entryway, wall or mantel merry, taking into consideration their aesthetic, durability and ease of use. Where Do Holiday Wreaths Come From

This type of ornamental decoration became a festive staple back in the 16th century as a way to repurpose the trimmings that were pruned off the tree. “These people were living in a time when everything in their lives was used until it was gone,” Stories Behind the Great Traditions of Christmas author Ace Collins told TIME in 2018. These days, they're made independently of trees from an assortment of real or artificial leaves, twigs, flowers or fruits, and are typically arranged in a circle, but can also be purchased in other shapes and designs (heart wreaths, anyone?).

While a large nail is an obvious way to hang a holiday wreath, there are a few alternatives that will be less damaging to your front door or walls (you're welcome, landlords).

Now that you're ready to decorate your home, check out our list of the 25 best holiday wreaths for your most festive season yet.

If you're a fan of the traditional wreath, you need look no further than this stunning holiday piece, which combines fake details, like faux red berries, with real pine cones and dried Salal leaves and Oregonia fir, each of which is selected with care, harvested by hand and assembled individually. In fact, each 22-inch wreath is made to order at the family-owned Creekside Farms in Greenland, California. Although this isn't the kind of décor that can be handed down through the generations, it will reportedly last anywhere from six months to an entire year once it's completely dried, according to the company.

Minimalists will fall head over heels for this winter wreath. Although it's slightly on the smaller side at 18 inches and doesn't come with many bells or whistles, it makes a big impact thanks to the faux pip berries that encircle an attractive (and adjustable) iron ring. It's starkly striking and can be mounted on either your exterior door or an interior wall.

When you think about holiday wreaths, pinecones and berries tend come to mind. Indeed, this 20-inch handmade wreath features some beautiful foam white berries as part of its design, but it also uses silk eucalyptus leaves (read: no watering) to fill it out with touches of greenery in light and dark shades and a sweet plaid bow for a bit of added flair.

Combining classic holiday elements with a chic contemporary style, this item will look incredible on your door or wall. Spanning 20 inches, its peppermint and solid glittery balls are complete showstoppers that are sure to attract tons of compliments from your neighbors. It's also great for those with allergies, since you can pretty much guarantee there'll be no shedding.

The snowy effect of this wreath can't be beat for those longing for a white Christmas. Using real twigs for the base and artificial pinecones as well as leafy grapevine sprigs and little succulents, this 22-inch handcrafted arrangement is about as natural-looking as they come. Its primary shades of green with hints of brown will suit most homes, and it works with a mount, so it should be easy to hang from most doors, too.

If you don't have the most space to display your holiday spirit, this best-selling mini wreath will be ideal for you. Just 11 inches wide, it's the smallest piece on our list. It's also adorned with silver and blue bells of varying sizes that will jingle every time you welcome guests into your home. You can easily hang it on a wall or above your fireplace with the attached grosgrain ribbon, which perfectly matches its attached silver bow.

Measuring 24 inches across, this twig wreath will add a stunning pop of color to your stoop, thanks to its varying sizes of faux red berries, which look good enough to pluck off and eat, if we do say so ourselves.

This 22-inch wreath is made for winter with its pinecones, faux leaves, fabulous ferns, tiny cream-color berries and sprigs of snow-dusted pine needles.

It has a built-in hanging loop and you can store it away in its gorgeous white delivery box at the end of the season.

This wreath brings together wood leaves, pinecones, pine needles, faux berries and glitter in a way that creates a truly eye-popping look and set it apart from the pack.

With real orange slices and cinnamon sticks hand-harvested from a family farm in California, this unique find will smell just as good as it will look on your front door.

According to the company, it can last six months to one year when dried.

This wintery masterpiece is so gloriously gorgeous that you might be tempted to keep it inside year-round—which would be easy to do, since its chic white theme won't be out of place in any season. You can adjust the branches and leaves to your liking, and customers say that it's well-made, so it won't be shedding its pine cones and leaves all over the floor. At 26 inches across, it's also on the larger side for those with bigger spaces to fill.

If you're so *yawn* over the traditional circle wreath, check out this delightful three-tier number. It features 18-, 22- and 26-inch pine pieces strung up on a strip of 77-inch velvet that will run the length of your door. 100 white twinkle LED-lights, which are connected to an automatic timer shut-off, are also interwoven throughout each of the wreaths for a little added shine. Note that you'll have to buy the required three D batteries à la carte to make it work.

This posh imported wreath was crafted by artisans who paint each ilex berry by hand to make them look as real as the natural fruit they were inspired by.

You won't need any lights to revel in the shape of the season thanks to this little snowflake of evergreen fronds, artificial pinecones and red berries.

If the typical red, white and green that tends to go along with the holiday wreaths is *so* not your vibe, then this 18-inch pick just might the right piece for you.

A soft glow is also seen throughout courtesy of the 20 LED battery-powered lights.

We love just about everything about Dolly Parton, and that includes this holiday wreath, which was inspired by the country singer's own Christmas tree.

Running on AA batteries, the lights will stay on for six hours before turning off with a timer. It's also suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so you can hang it up wherever you please.

Not all wreaths have to be perfectly round. In fact, asymmetry is exactly what makes this option so eye-catching. With one side resembling a natural, thin twine and curving up into a more full display of silk leaves and plaid bowknots, it offers plenty of seasonal flair. Made with long-lasting materials, this wreath is one you can use over and over again (the company claims the plastic branches are even crush-resistant for storage), and it won't stir up any allergies, either.

Pulling off glitter in your décor can be a particularly challenging feat. After all, there's a risk of overdoing it, with anything and everything inevitably becoming covered in its inescapable sparkle. Done right, however, glitter can add the faintest hint of shine to elevate a look. In case you hadn't guessed by now, this wreath embodies the latter. Featuring faux lambs' ear leaves with pinecone adornments, plus pine needle and red berry accents, it's frosted with a subtly festive glitter that will look classy—not tacky—in your living room. Its artificial materials are said to be durable and also easy to clean, too, so that you can keep it in perfect condition for years to come.

When it comes to wreaths, this beautiful 30-inch one skirts around the traditional with its black-and-gold flair. It's perfect for those who want to tell the world how merry and bright they're feeling without sacrificing their personal style. It also lights up with 100 mini bulbs that can be put on a timer, so you won't even have to go outside or up the stairs to turn them on or off.

Shabby chic vibes abound from this bow wreath, which manages to make a serious statement using little more than a red velvet and gold mesh bow interwoven through its artificial greenery.

This wreath may be artificial, but you'd never know it by glancing at the mixed pine branches with pinecones, ornaments and cedars, which look as real as they come. In addition to its authentic feel, it's 30 inches of merriment are equipped with pre-lit LEDs for a subtle, warm glow, and a timer to keep them from draining the AA batteries.
