Christmas trees – how do you like to decorate yours?

Submitted by on 11 November 2010 – 07:305 Comments

I’ve never really collected anything,  apart from shoes *ahem* but Christmas tree decorations are my thing. I like to buy them wherever we go on holiday, to remind us of where we’ve been (and where we’d like to return). Sometimes I go for themes – last year it was all white, for example, and this year I'm planning red, blue and white. We have some child-made ones too, of course; but I also love looking for new decorations.

So I’ve been perusing online and here are some of my favourites:

 Incredibly cute baby baubles, £12, Great Little Trading Company

 

 

 Shimmering beaded snowflake, £5, Graham & Green

Elegant mini glass baubles, £15, The White Company

 

 Vintage-style Rose baubles, £15, Cath Kidston

Which ones do you like best – and how do you decorate your tree? I’d love to know.

    I love the Cath Kidston ones. I like pretty things and colour co-ordination. We always have big battles with the tree because I hate tinsel, but the fellas go for the ‘stuffing every single decoration we own onto the tree’ form of decorating.

    i love the glass ones they look cool! we decorate ours with the usual baubles but each year we each make a special ball …and every year we have more that we have handmade. last year we made clay ones and painted them they look brill and its something to remember each christmas by

    I like to the beaded stars. I add more decorations to my tree every year so at some point it will fall over with the weight! We always have to put my 4 year old sons glass decorations on, from his first christmas, and his mini knitted snowmen or mummy will be in trouble!
