When turned on, the warm light bathes the entire landscape in beauty and completes the artwork. The beautiful decoration offers the best of festive finery for dog lovers who want to help feed dogs in shelters. By buying this handcrafted wooden Christmas scene, you will be providing seven deserving canines with their very own Christmas dinner.

What's The Best Way To Store Wooden Christmas Decorations?

After you have cleaned your wooden decorations, it is important to put them away in the right way. If you throw all of your decorations into a big box, they could get scratched, cracked, or even torn. Instead, choose small boxes that will keep the decorations from getting all jumbled up. Also, choose metal or wooden containers instead of plastic ones since plastic can hold moisture and create an environment that is not good for your treasures. 

Fill each box with decorations similar to the others in shape and material. Before putting them in the right box to store them, wrap each one in acid-free tissue paper. This makes it less likely that moisture and color will move from one ornament to another. Putting silica gel packs that absorb moisture within tissue paper may maintain painted surfaces of decorations in excellent shape and prevent mildew growth.

If there is space between each ornament, you should fill it with more tissue paper to make it softer. At the end, put a label on each box that tells what is inside and says that the items inside are fragile. Larger items will need more tissue paper, but use less tape as this can make it harder to open later and may cause accidental falls or broken pieces. 

How Long Do Led Lights Last On Average In Dog Table Top Decorations?

In general, a string of high-quality LED lights should last between six and seven years. That is if the lights are turned off for the winter instead of staying on all year round, as leaving them on can reduce the life span to around two to three years. Low-quality LED bulbs, especially those that come in two pieces and can be unscrewed from the socket, last a lot less time than higher-quality bulbs. You can also translate this to about 30,000 to 50,000 hours, while the average incandescent light will only last 1,000 hours.

Is A Wooden Dog-Themed Table Top Decoration A Good Gift For Christmas?

In terms of Christmas presents, a wooden decoration offers timeless beauty ready to last for decades. Lovers of canines who wish to give back to the canine community would appreciate gifts that also benefit animals in need, such as meals. However, you should always consider the recipient's tastes and interests while selecting a present. 

Most people love the high quality of wood, such as with the Operation Santa Paws Rescue Express. Wood lasts longer than plastic or other synthetic materials and does not break as easily as glass. Also, many people have little room on their trees for more decoration but have plenty of room around the house to display a tabletop piece.

Also, table decorations are often adorable and bring smiles to those who view them, meaning you are someone who loves to share joy and happiness with others. 

What Are Some Ideas To Decorate My Dinner Table For Christmas?

Use the Wooden Light Up Dog Decoration as your dining room centerpiece and plan the table around the piece. You can keep the theme down to two or  three central focal points, a red tablecloth, wooden napkin holders, and white placemats. With the simplistic color theme, you can use white or red dinner plates or any holiday-themed set put aside for the season. Add a little fake snow or pinecones around the center of the table for a little more festivity. 

Another great option includes iHeartDogs Wine! A celebratory drink finishes off a beautiful meal, but you can also use the bottles as part of the decorations too. Also, every bottle purchased feeds five dogs in shelters who also want to eat this holiday season. 

The wine labels have a vintage aesthetic and say, "All I want for Christmas is Dogs and Wine" or "I Rescue Dogs From Shelters and Wine From Bottles." Both will delight your dinner guests with a fun and festive vibe. You can pair the wine bottles with a red, green, and cream-themed table. Add some vintage napkin holders and your favorite wine glasses for a sophisticated table setting. 

Also, you can choose from several options of wine, including chardonnay, sparkling, or rose. Grab one of each and feed your entire guest list and dogs in need as well! If you love cats too, you can grab a bottle featuring a feline too.
