Festive Fabulous: The Best Christmas Decorations To Grab

We're decking the halls, and all the rooms in these babies...

Winter is my time of year so when it comes time to decorate for Christmas I am in my element. Twinkiling lights, cinnamon candles and the prospect of presents, what's not to love? That said as much as I love my traditional decorations it's always nice to add a few new additions. This year's Christmas decorations range from minimalist white and copper (did you like our inspiration board) to big bright bold and colourful Christmas cheer - just the right side of cheesy. I had to stop myself buying all of these, but might twist Naoise and Sue's arms to get a few for the office...
