It’s that time when you can’t help but start to get a wee bit excited; with less than a month to Christmas no one is going to call you keen if you start dusting off those decorations and sneaking them out of their boxes. I’m always hugely admiring of anyone who manages to theme their decorations and I love those beautifully put together stories, where every element complements each other. It’s also that time when you start to look around and gather those all-important gifts – before panic sets in at the task ahead, rest assured - help is at hand at Wendys Boutique and Tilda.

 

Now, if you don’t want to be tempted, then avert your eyes– because Wendys and Tilda have literally become a one-stop shop for everything you might need. Wendy has sourced the most gorgeous array of festive decorations that certainly made me want to throw away all the odds and ends that I’ve been accumulating and start afresh with a beautiful new look. A stunning range of vintage inspired glass ornaments to hang from the tree conjures up the sheer magic of the season. Embellished and frosted, the simple designs and grey/white colour scheme mean that these could equally be themed for a traditional or modern look. Far more cutesy, and super hard to resist, are the hanging angel range…wonderfully crafted, there’s so much detail in each decoration, whether you choose to put them on a tree, or suspend them around the house, they really are both gorgeous and fun.

 

 

More than just the answer to your Christmas theme conundrum, these decorations could also be the perfect solution for those wee gift dilemmas that are starting to play at the back of all our minds. You know the ones – the kids’ teachers, your co-workers – oh yes, and your trusty hairdresser who has saved you more than once from a frizz bomb. For both small trinkets and more sizeable gift options, you’ll also be spoilt for choice. Take a look at the stunning scented candles; roll on perfumes, diffusers and sugar scrubs. I ask you, who doesn’t love a fragrance for a gift? Then there are the homeware options – from the coolest tea towels from Trelise Cooper, to the beautiful range of white jugs, perfect for the Christmas table setting.  

 

 

If you feel like you’re on a roll, then it’s hard not to get overexcited and start eyeing up the little Louenhide purse packs, bags and don’t get me started on the Louenhide metallic jewellery cases. If you have daughters (of any age) then the cool range of mini hessian bags just scream stocking fillers. Take a look at the Naudic Pajama Sets; these are uber cool, so pretty and soft and they come in their own wee bag. For anyone that loves jewellery, well, where to start. From the sensational array of earrings and necklaces to the beautiful sterling silver rings and bangles, all bases are covered.  And if whilst you were picking up all of these goodies for loved ones, you felt like you may need to throw something in for yourself, then let me just point out the Foxleigh watch range – don’t feel guilty, surely a timepiece can be justified under the ‘necessity’ umbrella in this busy season.
