When we put the Christmas decorations up last week, I (definitely only me – everyone else was thrilled) felt that our decorations needed a revamp with a few new bits and pieces. The collaboration of my husband and my decorations when we married, now 6 years on, have really seen their day. What started as a set, had ended up as only 1 or 2 and the ‘mulled wine infused with cinnamon scented Christmas candle’ is really in need of the bin…. So off I went on a cyber shop for a few pretty (for me) and fun (for the children) items to spruce up our countdown to the Big Day.
Hooray Tree Decoration £4.90 Holly’s House
It wouldn’t be a recommendation from me without a bit of neon and sparkle thrown in. How fun are these… You could even turn it into a key ring afterwards!
Rainbow PomPom Lights £25 PomPomGalore
Put these up at Christmas and they will no doubt stay up throw 2016 too. I love them!
Fir & Snowberry Garland £70 The White Company
This is super smart and would be a great addition to any staircase. (Other than ones which children slide down!)
London LED Battery Lights £10 Paperchase
I plan to use these on the back of the buggy or on my handle bars. That’s if the boys don’t grab them first!
Ski Lift Scene With Music £55 John Lewis
From experience with these Christmas scenes, they have the little ones transfixed for longer than most things. They rally are magical and John Lewis do a very engaging Ski Scene. Do it! Or buy it for Grandma & Grandpa’s house…
Traditional Nativity Scene £10 Christmas Time UK
It’s mega important not to forget why we are indulging celebrating Christmas and this little Nativity Scene will help you explain the Christmas story.
Traditional Santa Plate £15 Pearl & Earl
Totally unnecessary but absolutely brilliant personalised plate (I am sure they can sign it from more than 1 child or you could just use your surname) and a great investment if your kiddies have a few more years believing.
The Night Before Christmas £5.24
We were given this book when our eldest was a baby and we have read it to them after we have done the mince pies and carrots for Santa and his Reindeers. It’s a sweet book and a tradition that seems to be working!
Crepe Surpise Crackers 19e Smallable
These are so colourful and a bit different. If you are more traditional – these would be great for the childrens table!
