Yes, I know they're unpopular on here but I fancy tinsel, and ceiling decorations this year!

[lucysmam]

& I wondered if anyone's seen any really thick tinsel, or ceiling decorations, anywhere irl?

I forgot to look at The Range the other night, & the tinsel in our local pop up Christmas shop is thin & a bit rubbishy.

I've found ceiling decs on ebay unless anyone's seen any of them in person. None of the usual suspects (Poundland type places) had any that I could see this afternoon.

Thanks (& if you're going to express your distaste at my desire for tinsel & ceiling decorations, please don't bother!) 🎄

I went all 80s for lockdown Xmas and have carried on since. I bought all the foil Dec's from Eba, asda and Wilkos and petal lights from an online Xmas shop.

I’d try amazon/google.

I still like lametta* known as ‘icicles’ in this house) on our tree, but have had to order online, since I can never find any in the shops.
*it shivers and catches the light.

This shop in Brighton has vintage style foil decorations if anybody is still looking!

My streamers arrived today and brought such joy 🎄🎄🎄I'll put them up tomorrow 😃

Ah! I used to do "tasteful" decorating. Then a few years back i ditched the warm glow lights for big bulbed multi coloured lights in red, green blue and yellow. I also bought wonderfully thick tinsel garlands in red, green, gold and silver. All from my local garden shop op. So you have one near you?

Oooh. Please post a pic!

I felt the same and found them hard to buy for a cheap/reasonable price!
I got foil ceiling decorations from Asda (£1 per pack) they have silver, gold and red.
Asda also have a three pack of gold foil stars for the wall/ceiling that are lovely for £2.
I got tinsel from Lidl, and Wilkos. Wilkos has every colour tinsel you could imagine!

I went back to LIDL to get some of the lovely tinsel I'd seen and there wasn't any. 😞

I got some magnificent ones yesterday. Proper 80s ones from a shop that if they had told me it was 1987 I would have believed them, it was so old school.
Adams in Rye is where it's at :)

edit I think you can buy them here https://christmasdecorationsoutlet.co.uk/collections/christmas-foil-decorations/premier

My ceiling garlands arrived today 😊 just need to get up the ladder now to get them up...

Forgot my pic, I've just realised 🙈
