Mine are a completely mish mash collected over the years. I've noticed nice sets in Lidls recently. I got my tableware in Primark.

Wilkinsons had some lovely ones, woodland animals and baubles in lovely autumny shades. Would love to junk my mish mash tree and have a lovely tree covered in foxes and owls and squirrels!

Next have some great deep red old fashioned looking glass ones for £2 each (only seem to sell in packs of 6 online). Look like ones I got in Liberty a few years ago. Garden centres often good for different good quality decorations at reasonable prices

So do I Olivia, I got some beautiful glass birds a few years ago from the National Trust. And last year I got some of those tiny pegs with Christmas stars on, to peg all the cards to hanging ribbons.

I am a bit obsessed with decorations.
