Christmas decorations

Ok guys, please give me some ideas for where to find beautiful tree decorations. Nothing too "styled", no glitter, no novelty decorations. We don't have a themed tree but I do like red and gold decorations (other colours are fine though).

I like really traditional decorations - plain baubles, straw angels etc. We have some really beautiful wooden decorations from the 1970's but I can't find anything similar now and the old ones are very frail!

Any ideas so welcome. Hopefully this might be helpful for other people too!

I find ours in the loft. We've got loads of the stuff. We can't use it all, but we keep.buying more...We could have our own fairy grotto and a fairy shopping mall, and a fairy new town, I suspect.

Vintage Georg Jensen decorations are lovely

Well hopefully it won't involve an inflatable dinosaur in your front garden 😁
All ours are knackered. I tend to go to the naive garden centre across town for new ones. I could spend a small fortune there.
Edit: bloody hell niace not naive 🙄

@NotInMyFacex1000 Naive garden centre ;-)

No inflatable dinosaurs here! Actually our local garden centre is probably the best bet. I'm always disappointed by the Liberty decorations (too glittery and often look very cheap even though they're not!).

I'm open to home made decoration ideas too - I have children who are upper primary age and who like craft and art!

Got some lovely ones from H&M and Sostrene Greene last year. In the red, white and metallic theme. Very tasteful and scandi - glass and paper

Just to add I don't think either of these places are really stocking their baubles yet. Also Oka have beautiful ones but they are £££

I have a few sets of Thomas Pacconi baubles from about 20 years ago. Just found similar on ebay, slightly horrified by the price of them, but I love them
