Greenery is the way to go for non-crafty types

You can even incude a mini book. Here's a centre piece with "The Nutcracker Suite".

I’m not the craftiest type, but one of the things I really enjoy doing in the weeks leading up to Xmas is filling the house with greenery. I love that it costs virtually nothing to create beautiful centre pieces and swags. I love the way they look and smell and I particularly love how easy it is be creative with greenery, some wire, and a few bits of ribbon. And, greenery arrangements can make fabulous but inexpensive gifts.
