80s Xmas tree

[CaptainBenson]

I have bought some colourful Xmas tree lights that remind me of my 80's childhood and it's inspired me to go all multicoloured and retro this year!

If anyone sees any other decorations anywhere please can you post them here.

Also if anyone has a time machine I'd a like a big metal tin full of the old recipe Quality Streets in the old colourful wrappers.

That's a beautiful tree @Strokethefurrywall

I do have a big old retro quality street tin with decorations in!

Can’t beat a 70s Christmas tree. My tree now is a mish mash of lovely things that don’t match at all.

Oh I always always go 80s decorations ,, lots of foil ceiling decs and coloured lights on the tree.

Cheers me up

Do you have those? They do look really good, but bit wary of LED's.

They look like bulbs rather than LEDs, more likely to get hot.

Sorry, wasn't clear. Those lights are LEDs, but have they managed to make them look like the old style filaments? Do they look authentic?

@CaptainBenson these might fit with the theme!

I've gone all the way back to the 1920s and have lots of original baubles from that period!

@BoobyDazzler I got these lights last year, they're coloured and really warm, not bright neon and no blue!

I bought these lights last year - yes, they do look authentic! I love them!

Fab thank you!

Yes I still have this every year. I put it on the ageing nativity scene as extra straw. Our tree is a mish mash of things from over the years, a throw on of nostalgia. Not a tasteful thing in sight at Christmas in our house.

They are lovely.

During lockdown we bought a snowy tree and confetti lights. Our house was built in the 70s so it fits the vibe. We also have lots of foil decorations hanging off the ceiling.

These cheeky fuckers used to fall off and hide under and around the tree till someone stood on one with a loud AAAHHHH!

I'd spend hours going through the string of lights, checking each bulb individually to see which one was out!

But they look so pretty😁

Yes defo, I love mine!

Angel hair we used to call it

God, I feel so nostalgic now! Love the colourful lights - we had the same, usually with half the bulbs blown.
I'm all for throwing loads of colours at the tree this year, and some lametta!
I might make some pom-pom decs, or maybe they'd be a fire hazard 🤔

Love these! Do you think JL are going to be left with lots of the coffee cream ones in the January sale? 😂

Were these from the 80s? We had one when I was young. They angels sometimes span manically.

Oops these

aaargh angel chimes. The frenzied tinkling! It was irritating with 1 candle, it was dementing the more you lit.

I found these on Amazon last year. I was very sad to take them down. Instant jollyness!
