Christmas is coming! It’s official, there’s no hiding it and no stopping it. It’s going to be my second Christmas in my own place and I’m hoping to really give it a really festive atmosphere. From lights to tableware I always have a wish list as long as my arm for Christmas. I do wonder if one day I will end with everything I need (and want!) or if the urge to splurge just comes around every December. If I’m honest it’s probably the latter.
Well NEXT have challenged me to create a Christmas wish list and I wasn’t going to deprive myself of some festive window shopping. Here are my wish list picks that will pop the cherry on top of my Christmas day.
1. Grey Cosy Robin Pyjamas – Being honest, you’ll be lucky is I get dressed on Christmas day so these festive pyjamas are perfect for comfort, style and of course the obligatory Christmas motive.
2. Golden Frankincense Diffuser – I do love a candle but I like how easy diffusers are to move between rooms. Plus, there’s no risk of me dropping my christmas hat on an open flame with one of these! You need a bit of festive fragrance in the house over Christmas. Just thinking of it now, opening presents around the tree with the soft smell of frankincense floating around. It’s enough to give me goosebumps. Not only will this diffuser smell good but it looks pretty glam too.
3. 12 Piece Lily Dinner Set – I’m planning a Christmas feast let me tell you! I have just purchased some new table and chairs and I really want them to look as seasonal as possible. This dinner set is crisp and clean with a little detail on the edges. Perfect to dish up my roast turkey, turkey sandwiches, turkey curry….. you get the point.
4. 12 Red Heart Crackers – I’d pop some of these on the tree and keep some on the table. I love these christmas crackers because they look so festive. Each one comes with a hat, jokes, trinket and name game. Perfect!
5. 6 Rustic Decoupage Baubles – These match the crackers and the general theme perfectly. The fact they look hand-made add to their charm and I may be inclined to actually have 2 sets of these to really fill my tree out.
6. Luxe Faux Fur Bean Bag– Last but not least after a hard day of opening presents, cooking and eating dinner plus singling along to some carols, I’ll need somewhere comfy and cosy to plant my bum. This bean bag is the perfect bit of luxury for the host to relax on. Of course that’s me!
I can’t wait for the big day now! You can check out everyone’s NEXT wish lists on twitter searching the hashtag #Nextmaswishlist. What would make your day perfect?
