Luxe
The Anngarsk bauble wreath from Habitat is super fun and eclectic! It has a fun purple, blue and orange colour scheme that will add a festive feel to your front door. It’s priced at £30.

We love this bountiful wreath from Paperchase for just £15! It has more baubles on it than the Habitat one, whiile the colours will suit any rainbow theme perfectly.

Luxe
Whether you decide you want to decorate your table, hallway or living room with a stag ornament then this one from Dunelm for £20 is gorgeous!

We love the brass effect of this stag ornament from Sainsbury’s and what’s better is that it only costs £10.50! Decorate it by hanging baubles from its antlers.

Bag yourself a fabulous silver champagne bauble from Poundland for just £1! It also comes in gold if you’d prefer a warmer colour scheme.
Nutcracker

LUXE
Is there anything more traditional than a nutcracker at Christmas time? We think not. This decadent nutcracker from Gisela Graham is £37.95.

For under half of the price, you can grab a traditional red and gold nutcracker ornament from Debenhams. Priced at £15, this glittered ornament would look great greeting guests in a decorated hallway.
