I have fancy ones made by “Twinkly” that I got on sale a couple Christmasses ago—they are fully programmable and can do moving rainbows and things, but 95% of the time I just use the timer function to have them come on during the early evening hours and I set them to a warm white. #FFCA64
I’ve never done it, but I’m pretty interested in felting. I might start with acorns.
But there are also adorable kits of animals (I don’t even know the difference between needle felting and regular felting yet) (update: I have now tried “needle felting” which involves using a needle that has a few rough spots to bind loose wool in on itself as the fibers get pushed and pulled through themselves with the stabbing 😅)

I’ve also seen fancy metal Christmas trees made from flat aluminum craft wire that seemed cool.
