PSA: You Can Buy a Gingerbread Kit That Looks Like Your Dream Home

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There's more to the holiday season than picking out the perfect gift for all your special people or watching your favorite festive films: For those with a penchant for home decor, the holidays are a design lover's equivalent to the Super Bowl. But while scanning the web for the very best decorations and dreaming up a well-appointed Christmas tree are status quo for the season, building an immaculate gingerbread house often gets over looked. To be honest, it's not too hard to see why.

While gingerbread houses never fail to give your seasonal setup a tasty touch, most pre-made kits look like something from Candy Land. Cutesy, but not exactly cutting-edge. You could construct an intricate gingerbread house made from scratch as much as the next seasonal savant, but the truth is that not all of us have the time or artistic ability to do it on our own.

The good news is that it's possible to get the best of both worlds. Thanks to a slew of surprisingly chic kits, it's possible to have your gingerbread and eat it too. (Figuratively, that is.) From midcentury modern marvels to a cool camper to a beach-ready surf shack for those holiday-ing in warmer climes, these design-minded gingerbread kits will make your hearts (and style chops) grow three sizes today.
