Last year I was harping on about Christmas posts to the team in September. Usually I love Christmas. I can’t get enough of it. By the end of the summer holidays I know where I’ll be spending it and have planned all my winter weekends up until the big day. This year I’m all out of kilter and haven’t got in to the festive spirit at all, that is until I started to put together this post.

Last year my tree was white and grey with a dash of silver thrown in. Let’s face it, throwing away your whole archive of decorations is not an option so my tree is going to be pretty much the same this year. I have no qualms about mixing metals through so my little spruce is likely to get some copper action too.

In the name of research I’ve checked out some of my favourite online retailers to bring you a few ideas to deck your halls this Chrimbo.

Copper

Personalised

  • I’m crazy for anything with my initial on so I like the Gatsby inspired alphabet hanging decorations from Matalan.
  • However the LED lights from M&S actually blow my mind. Carnival lights for the tree! (Thanks Lorna for pointing them out to me). There was no ‘J’ when I went to order though so I’ll have to wait a while longer to get Mr C one.
  • On a more elegant front, Tamsin Seed’s gorgeous luxury glass baubles are personalised with mini gift tags and charms while Cheryl Rawlings beautiful hand painted baubles are an absolute treat. Get your name down quick though as she’s bound to be inundated with orders.
  • Over on NOTHS, how adorable is this wooden laser cut wreath custom made with your own messsage?
  • Finally I also love the personalised wooden place settings (complete with engraved fox) from Edge Inspired which are bound to impress your guests.

    • Rustic

  • Woodland features show no signs of going away this year. Cox and Cox’s Porcelain leaves are beautifully cast in three different shapes to adorn your tree.
  • A stunning winter centrepiece, this White Antler Candle Holder from TK Maxx would look fab on your dining or coffee table all year round.
  • I adore this zinc Star Topper from Rowen And Wren. A gorgeous statement for the top of your tree.
  • Over at Selfridges, their fabulous range includes a sweet wooden bird with glass bauble combining modern and rustic styling.
  • The White Company is synonymous with Christmas. I want to live in their brochure. Failing that perhaps I’ll just stock up on a load of their decorations including this adorable advent calendar. I’d like to imagine James stuffing it with presents for me for each day of advent. A girl can dream can’t she?
  • Finally the favourite of any rustic scene; everyone loves a bit of bunting. Next’s Fabric Script Bunting would be very sweet across a mantlepiece.

    • Playful

  • You can always count on Paperchase for some super fun tree trinkets and these flamingo ones don’t disappoint. I’m also a big fan of their neon gems too. Perfect if you’re embracing a bolder scheme this year.
  • For paper decorations then do check out Origami Est for paper folded stars in great shades.
  • If you like honeycomb balls then look no further than Hema. They have a really inexpensive selection of paper decor and this five-pack of bright balls is only £1.50. Yes really!
  • Oliver Bonas has a super duper cute range of wooden decorations with neon accents for scandi styling with a contemporary twist starting from £4. I particularly like the fox with his very dapper scarf.
  • Finally John Lewis have a charming little deer to hang from your branches for a good dose of kitsch.

    • Gold and Glam

  • For a modern-luxe look how about adding a couple of 3D Gold Stars from John Lewis? Very glam.
  • For a softer edge try John Lewis’ Glitter dipped feathers to add a magical edge to your tree for just a couple of quid.
  • Matalan have a bumper pack of chevron, dotted and starred contemporary baubles working out at just a £1 each.
  • If you’re planning on throwing a New Years eve bash then you have to get your hands on the ‘Tonight we’re going to party’ garland from Rockett St George. So. Much. Fun. Their gold porcelain star baubles are very stylish too.
  • And to finish off the round-up B&Q have a very stylish range of simple white and gold ceramic tree trinkets inscribed with ‘noel’ and ‘joy’.

    • So hopefully you’ve now got oodles of inspiration for your Christmas decor. What baubles and garlands have you got your eye on? Any new tree trinkets you’ve already purchased?
