These are decorations that will travel with you through time encapsulating so many wonderful memories of times with family and friends.
Starting your very own collection of Christmas decorations is very exciting. These are decorations that will travel with you through time encapsulating so many wonderful memories of times with family and friends.
At the end of every Christmas season, you will carefully pack them away only to rediscover their magic a year later. For many people, each decoration tells a different story. It brings back a memory of a shopping trip or a time in their lives where things were not as they are now. It reminds them of people and happy times.
We’ve done a little digging and have found some really beautiful Christmas decorations that will look the part but not cost an absolute fortune. We hope you like them as much as we do.
ALDI
ALDI have a really beautiful selection of Christmas decorations this year. If you were lucky enough to pick up some Kevin The Carrot decorations the kids will be more than delighted but what about these cinnamon scented Christmas decorations to fill your home with the smell of Christmas?
We also love this lightbox print, these snowy tree garland lights and are on the lookout for their €6.99 fresh Christmas wreath. The star of the show for us was actually this inflatable Santa and Rudolph arch. Can you imagine the kids’ reaction?
The Range
This store does just about everything. I went in for glasses and left with a gorgeous leather 2019 planner/diary. They have a stunning array of Christmas decorations available now too.
We picked up this reindeer advent calendarthat is amazing value. They also have a huge selection of ornaments and standing decorations that are really good quality. We loved these festive owls because they reminded us of the Late Late Toy Show.... sorry not sorry.
Littlewoods
We’ve already been trawling through the Littlewoods website in search of Christmas presents and their beautiful festive clothing.
We noticed some gorgeous decorations too! In particular, we thought this was a lovely idea. A personalised decoration to remember someone who has passed away. A keepsake to sparkle and remind you of someone special at this special time of year.
We also loved these Santa Jacket tealight holders and actually picked some up as a gift for our children’s teacher as an end of year gift with a packet of tea lights.
Dunnes Stores
Dunnes Stores have really pulled it out of the bag this year. It’s like a Christmas wonderland in their stores. We adored this angel tree topper and think at €10 it is great value. This tall angel decoration keeps grabbing our attention too. She’s huge, really sturdy and for €12 you really can’t ask for much more from the price.
We are also going back to pick up this Christmas throw because we keep seeing them in photographs on social media and they really add a festive cosiness to a living room. It feels super soft and snuggly too.
