Help please. Am in need of some new decs for the tree this year and need some inspiration! Where did you get/do you get your baubles from?

In the same boat! I’ve picked up a couple from M&S and Paperchase, but nothing really taking my fancy.

I feel like I’ve exhausted John Lewis, Cox and Cox, Petersham Nurseries and Anthropologie, so looking for more ideas!

Home Sense and some from Clas Ohlsen

What kind of style are you after eg traditional, modern, glittery, quirky, retro tacky???

Boredofthecommute · 24/11/2018 10:31

Not really sure, just want something pretty! Just a bit bored of the usual shops near me (usual high street) and looking for some browsing inspiration!

I’ve purchased a few hand blown glass ornaments from amazon, the range have some pretty ones too... Also matalan and a few from George

I have a very eclectic mix of decorations, nothing matches, there are far too many of them 🤩. I always add a few to my collection every year (whether I need them or not!).

This year I have bought a few of the new Alessi baubles, they are lovely.

Here.

Our tree is wholly decorated with decorations the DC’s made - it’s a lovely memory of their growing up as you can recognise what they were interested in each year by the theme of the decorations they made.

A few boxes of red and gold from Next, but we got most from TK Maxx this year as they had some nice stuff in when we went

BarbedBloom · 24/11/2018 11:48

I also got a few lovely ones from Etsy

Boredofthecommute · 24/11/2018 11:55

Those Alessi ones are pretty- different but pretty BUT £20-£30 for ONE? Ouch!

I have some really fancy looking floral stems, butterflies, reindeer, and snowflakes, collected over the last few years from Dobbies, B&M, eBay etc and then have lots of cheap baubles that pad it out. Also have feather boas on my one at home...attached are my shop trees, all done v cheaply, including stuff from the pound shop

Ive got loads of red and white Gisela Graham ones. There's also loads of bizarre ones from her which I'm not interested in!

I got most from eBay last year.

Oldraver · 24/11/2018 12:25

Our local Garden Company does the whole range of Grisela Graham. This year there is a range of Alice in Wonderland baubles. Very very quirky.

We bought the crocodile, DS's choice

theboxofdelights · 24/11/2018 12:31

I know OP, I have been collecting special decorations for a very long time. Always bought one a year but latterly have bought three or four a year. The balloon one is especially lovely.

ALemonyPea · 24/11/2018 12:32

Debenhams have some lovely decorations in, and they're 3 for 2.

CaseStudyResearch · 24/11/2018 12:44

Will check out Gisela Graham.

Failing that, seems like I might have to pop out some kids to make some Grin

The range

Boredofthecommute · 24/11/2018 19:15

Thanks for the suggestions, been for a nose today and managed to get some nice glass ones from the M&S outlet. Just a start though! Looked like everyone had ransacked the Christmas aisles earlier!

The Range has an amazing selection

Lovemusic33 · 24/11/2018 20:19

Most of mine come from tkmax, homesense and local garden centre (expensive but I buy a couple each year to add to my collection).

Got my decorations down today and I have way too many.

Curious2468 · 24/11/2018 21:58

Paperchase have cute ones on 3 for 2

MaidenMotherCrone · 24/11/2018 22:02

Iceland. I bought some beautiful ones last week. There’s a Christmas Shop in Reykjavík and I couldn’t help myself. I bought decorations as souvenirs for friends too.

Quickerthanavicar · 24/11/2018 22:18

UNICEF do nice wooden ones.

MarklahMarklah · 24/11/2018 22:26

I get mine from all over the place. We have a garden centre quite nearby that carries a good range of decorations on different themes. That said, I tend to buy in the post-Christmas sales for the following year.

MissMarplesKnitting · 24/11/2018 22:28

The Range
Garden centres (independent) eg Bents.
Wilko for a few bits too.
