Door wreaths

[batshite1]

I need a new one but have been struggling to find what I like the last few years. Apart from dept stores where should I look? Thanks

Garden centres usually have Christmas shops - large ones like squires are very good.

Do you mean an artificial one? The garden centres near us do a nice range (as well as the natural ones). Do you have one near you?

Ideally artificial so I can reuse & quite like the idea of pre lit. I didn’t think of garden centres.

I have one from QVC (it is years old , I need to get it out in good time to check it)
Pre-lit and with a timer .

Takes 6-8 of those huge torch batteries .

I set it to light up about 4pm and it goes off at 10pm
( It has twinkling or steady lights , or the option to have without the timer )

They have some beautiful ones on M&S website, lots of different sizes. I'm considering the winterberry one.

But the M&S stuff does look nice this year...

I found one but it’s ££££

M&S £35 for extra large

Laura Ashley have some online and so do John Lewis and Debenhams; all these places will have autumn sales/ promotions giving 25% off before long I'm sure!!!

For the last few years I have bought a fresh one from Morrisons - £8/£10 and I change the ribbon on it and add a few of my own baubles and they have looked fab

I usually buy a plain fresh one from B&Q and decorate it myself but I'm thinking of going pre lit this year.

I've ordered an M&S one, I'll post photos when it arrives.

This is the £15 M&S one, it needs fluffing a bit but you get the idea .

Do you tie them onto a high up door knocker? I've only ever seen them with little loops / hooks on, and I like the idea of them but have never known what you attach them to. I only have quite a flimsy letterbox knocker thing so not sure it would work.

In my previous house I hung mine on a suction hook. My house was at the end of a long drive and the front wasn't visible from the road so I wasn't too concerned about somebody taking a liking to it and pinching it.

I moved this year and this house has a fair bit of passing traffic and the door is visible from the path so I plan to attach it with long ribbons. One at "12" and one at "6" and then pass the "12" ribbon over the top of the door and the "6" ribbon down, through the letterbox and tie the ends together inside the house.

If someone is determined to pinch it then they will have to come armed with scissors.

I've got a wreath hanger for the front door (it's on the hook on my bedroom door in the photo) I tie the wreath to the hanger with some garden wire, so it doesn't blow away and it's not easy to pinch.
