6 Weeks to Go – Pick Your Perfect Tree
The Christmas tree is the heart of the festive season, so start early and secure your favourite style. Choose from traditional green PVC trees, snowy frosted styles, slimline designs for smaller spaces or even upside-down Christmas trees that create a show-stopping centrepiece. Shopping now means you’ll get the best choice and plenty of time to plan your theme.
5 Weeks to Go – Add Festive Fun with Inflatables
Nothing spreads festive cheer quite like a giant inflatable Santa, snowman or reindeer in the garden. Inflatables are easy to set up, weather-resistant and sure to make the neighbours smile. With a variety of sizes and designs available, from fun characters to full sleigh displays, they create an instant winter wonderland outside your home.
4 Weeks to Go – Deck the Halls Indoors
Bring the magic indoors with baubles, garlands, wreaths and tabletop decorations. Whether you prefer a rustic woodland theme, a glamorous gold-and-red look or something colourful for the kids, now’s the time to start styling. Indoor decorations transform your living space into a cosy retreat filled with festive sparkle.
3 Weeks to Go – Light Up the Outdoors
As the nights draw in, outdoor lighting takes centre stage. From LED silhouettes to glowing reindeer and twinkling icicle lights, adding sparkle outside sets a welcoming tone. Not only does it create a magical display for your family but it also makes your home stand out in the neighbourhood.
