Hi! So for this video
I'm combining two of my favourite things which is
homeware and Christmas.
Christmas homewares. I think these are possibly some of my favourite videos to watch.
So I'm gonna get right into it.
Where do I start?
Okay.
So.
Christmas bedding.
I don't think it will
come as much surprise to you
that I basically
bought everything in Asda.
That was Christmassy that I could put
on my bed.
So we have this one
which is um a woodland
winter woodland it says and it's cream and red
and that's just beautiful,
fourteen pounds. I also
have this one which is
ow! Heavy and sharp.
I also have this one which
is so cute. It has
like children on sledges, a girl doing a snowman
this one's ice skating
and um underneath it's like
spotty. So when you pull back the covers
it's red and white um polka dots
and I think that's so flipping cute.
And then this one which
is essentially Alfie's nightmare.
He hates flannel bedsheets
because he gets
too hot.
I think he needs to stop whining.
Um but these are like
so Christmassy.
These are red and green
and navy tartan.
Like these are so festive.
I'm really excited to have these
on the bed.
They were nineteen so these are 100% brushed cotton.
Very soft.
If you've never felt brushed cotton bedsheets you're missing out.
I also got this as well.
Pillow cases.
Brushed cotton pillow cases.
These ones are a little bit more
like not as in your face
I suppose.
They're really really pretty.
Sticking with bedding
kind of
cushions
now
there's quite a few cute festive cushions
around
at the mo.
This one
is also from Asda.
I think this is my favourite one.
And it's this little square one
and it has
a tiny little navy trees that oh like this pattern
but like small.
And it says baby it's cold outside
in a really beautiful like
gold handwritten font and
I love it.
It's quite a small square one
but that was only five pounds.
And it's so cute.
I love it.
I also got this one from where was this one from... where is this one from ?
I wanna say M&S.
Yes. Marks and Spencer.
This was like
almost 20 [NOISE] Hu ! Oh my god !
NALA. Jeez!
This was nineteen pound fifty so this one was a little more
pricy but it lights up !
Look !
It says : let it snow
Oh my god I love it !
I mean I think it might be
slightly annoying having to
unzip it everytime you wanna turn it on or turn it off again.
But I think ultimately that's quite a cool cushion.
Another cushion is this one
I actually got this from a garden centre called Haskins
and this was 20 pounds and its snowball cushion
in grey.
I thought this one would go
quite nicely with this one
Huhhhhh. Yeah this just looks like little
snowballs but it's pom poms. And actually I think
this could work any time of the year really
but it does work quite nicely because it's Christmas.
This next one
is a bit bigger
and it was a little bit more pricy
although I don't actually know how much it was.
Let me take it out of the plastic.
This is from Boden and erm
who by the way have some of the cutest jumpers and
basically just some of the nicest Christmas stuff.
And it says :
all is calm on one side,
and all is bright on the other. And I did actually buy
two to go on our bed. So one side can say :
'all is calm' and the other one can say : 'all is bright !'
Obviously as always the shop that does Christmas so very well
is Homesense. Now Homesense
have some great things - what are you eating out of my bag?
No! Don't eat my festive homeware.
And I got these tea towels and it says : tis the season to be jolly
tralalalala la la la la. And this side has
uh some mistletoe
and i just thought they were
really lovely.
Also from Homesense think I'm gonna sneeze
maybe not. I picked up this
this is a Christmas garland
but it's like pom poms in cream and red and
I just really liked that.
I thought that that would look quite nice hung up somewhere or maybe like
intertwined in a um not a wreath, like a garland
like a.. no. I thought that would look quite nice or just wrapped around like the banister on the stairs.
Ooh this was also from Homesense.
This is a garland, a 6 foot holiday garland.
Um which says Merry Christmas, and it's in
like metallic copper letters, so it's actually quite heavy
but I just thought that that was so lovely.
Think how nice that will look on the fireplace.
And it's copper.
And you can't go wrong with a bit of copper.
Ooh I thought these were interesting.
However, I don't remember where I got them from maybe Oliver Bonas oh I don't remember.
But these are star tablelights.
So essentially they are battery lights. And you can
put them on your dining room table
whether that's during a Christmas dinner or you
have people over for a meal.
I just think it adds
like an extra something and these
are on like a little wire so you can kind of mold them or twist them
round candle holders
don't know just thought they looked really nice and quite festive.
It's the little things I think
that make all the difference.
Moving on from Homesense
every year Next have a scent called Festive Spice
which smells so good !
I actually have a room diffuser in here already which is making this whole room smell like Christmas which just makes me very excited.
And also
it's what these room smelt like last year
so it's very nostalgic.
But
they have this !
Which is a huge whopper of a candle
with that scent.
Uh last year I think I bought a three wick but it was kind of lower and like
more round.
This is like your average candle
like times twenty.
It's huge !
Oh but it smells incredible.
I absolutely love it. If any of you have a Next
near you, you need to check this out.
Go and smell it basically.
I thought this was worth mentioning.
This is a wreath hanger
Now for a really long time I thought I can't hang a wreath
on my door because I need to knock a nail in and I need to tie rope around the wreath
and it all sounds a little bit fiddly and I'm definitely going to cause damage to my front door if I have to bang a nail into it.
And also most of my front door is glass.
So that's just never gonna work.
But then I discovered these exist.
And
this hangs on your door,
one way and then you hang your wreath on the other end.
So you can essentially hang a wreath anywhere
without causing any destruction or losing a finger.
And I think that's great. So, even if your parents don't have a wreath on their front door
or I don't know, you're not allowed one because you're at uni, get one of these and then you can put a wreath on your bedroom door
Or I don't know on every door on your house,
which I'm not actually gonna do but I'm quite tempted.
I'm not gonna lie. Easy wreath hanging and you can get these from pretty much anywhere.
This one was from a garden centre.
It's quite cute it's got a wooden christmas tree on it but you can
get plain ones
from John Lewis.
Mwah! Ohhhh I love you.
Do you love me?
Next up I went to Hobbycraft.
Hobbycraft is amazing at Christmas if you like to get a bit more DIY and crafty with your decorations.
Ugh !
Now I have a tiny little four foot Christmas tree up in my upstairs office which is
kind of just where I do my make up and chill and sometimes film.
And I wanted to make it the most out there
and garish Christmas tree ever,
so,
I found these baubles in Homesense that are just amazing.
Like they are really brightly coloured baubles.
Tiny little glass bright coloured baubles and this was my main inspiration.
I think I might just call it like the most colourful Christmas tree you've ever seen.
bBecause I bought these which I love and then in Hobbycraft,
I bought these pom pom garlands
to wrap around the Christmas tree. It's going to look a flipping mess,
but I'm quit excited about it.
Maybe I should put coloured lights on it as well.
And literally just go all out with colour on the Christmas tree.
I'll call it the rainbow tree.
When I was doing my food shop on Ocado,
uh they had these.
Now these are... I don't know where I'm gonna put these,
because they don't really go with anything, but these
were such a massive throwback for me.
Me and Joe used to have these and we used to decorate the Christmas tree with these when we were really really little.
They're tiny little like wooden,
Santas and like trains
and little angels
and they're just amazing, so I couldn't not get them
because I was like oh my god all the memories.
The most amazing these are by um Gise, Giseah Graham? Gisea Graham. Uhm but yeah.
Wondering if any of you guys have put these on a Christmas tree at some point in your life.
I feel like most people may have because I showed them to Mark
and he was instantly like
oh my god I had those !
And now I have them again and I'm really happy about it but I don't know where I'm gonna put em
Lastly...
Now I'm not sure
where I'm going oh no I broke it, bloody hell ... for my big main Christmas tree
I didn't really know what theme I was gonna go for this year,
but the White Company have some amazing decorations,
so here we have
a like china bell, that actually like makes a noise.
So I've got a few of these... I think I'm gonna go like white and silver.
Mmm which I've never done before.
I'm having this conversation with you like you're all as enthusiastic about decorating your trees as I am
so I do apologise if you're not.
I also got this which says love.
Let me get it out of the packaging.
And they're done in like
silver beads. I just think they'll look really cute on the Christmas tree so I got those, they were from White Company as well
And then they had lots of these little like ceramic hearts and stars,
and again I thought they'll go really nicely with my white and silver theme.
I'd love to know how you are decorating your Christmas tree this year.
Do you have a theme ? Are there certain things you can't wait to put out in your home every year ? Like do you keep a box
and then when it gets to it you're like whip out the Christmas doormat
get the lights out, put the wreath on the door ? I don't know, how into it are you ?
I would love to know.
That is everything in my festive homeware haul.
I hope you enjoyed it,
make sure to give the video a thumbs up if you did,
and I am going to go now because I am actually sweltering under these lights
with this jumper on. So I will see you
again tomorrow and I love you very much !
Goodbye !
