You can choose to style them together in a vignette with some faux snow and bottle brush trees, or display them separately around your home. You could even place them on your Christmas tree around your other baubles or in lieu of typical ornaments.
Every year, you can expand your village with additions, or fill out your collection from other retailers like Etsy and Bed Bath & Beyond, which tend to sell at a lower price point.
The best part? Nothing about these cute homes screams Christmas, so you can display them year-round, swapping in different seasonal touches like spring flowers, summer greenery, or fall leaves.
