A Decorated Christmas Porch as a Gift: Ideas for Parents, Clients & Neighbors

Some gifts get used once. A decorated Christmas porch greets someone every time they come home for the whole season. Here is who it suits and how it works.

Who it is perfect for

• Parents or grandparents who love a festive entry but should not be on a ladder.
• New homeowners spending their first Christmas in a new house.
• Clients: realtors and small businesses use it as a closing or thank-you gift.
• A busy friend or new parent who has no time to decorate this year.

Which package to gift

Joyful Door ($349) is a lovely, budget-friendly gift: a wreath with bow and fresh garland framing the door. Welcome Porch ($599) adds two styled urns and is the most popular. For a big entry, Merry & Bright ($899) or Grand Celebration ($1,299+).

How gifting works

1. Send a request with the recipient’s address and a photo of their entry if you can.
2. We confirm availability and a date between November 15 and December 20 (4 PM or 6 PM windows).
3. A 25% booking fee reserves the install.
4. We install. The recipient does not need to be home, so it can be a surprise.

The decor is theirs to keep. Optional takedown and disposal after the season is $125, or $150 for Merry & Bright and Grand Celebration, and can be included in the gift. Full details on Gift a Porch, or pick an install date.
