Home Christmas John Lewis Advent Calendar 2023, Day 2: A new bauble for your tree Hunting for obscure Christmas baubles is somewhat of a tradition here at Mumsnet. What will your favourite be this year? By Rebecca Roberts | Last updated Dec 13, 2023 Advertisement Feature This article has been Created by Open day one Open day three Ever since a particular bauble caught the attention of Mumsnet users back in 2017, there has been an annual tradition of hunting for the most obscure, unusual and quirkiest bauble that John Lewis releases each year.
