With Christmas around the corner, Homebase wants to know all about your festive favourites and the seasonal must-haves you just can’t live without.

Would Christmas without a tree not be Christmas at all? Have your baubles got to be a certain colour to fit in with the rest of the décor? And is there only one style of lighting you could ever have in your home?

Whatever’s essential to you this Christmas, visit homebase.co.uk and post a link below to the products you just can’t live without - and tell us why.

So for a chance to win a £300 Homebase voucher, simply take the survey and add a comment below.

Thanks and good luck,

I couldn't give up the scents of Christmas! I always like to have a special Christmas candle, I start to add cinnamon and nutmeg to hot chocolate and have an occasional mince pie- warmed in the oven!
I change my oil diffusers from citrus scents to spruce, peppermint and cinnamon too!

Candles! I love having the lights low and Christmas lights on and candles lit to create a cosy atmosphere in the dark evenings. Even better if they're scented to make the house smell Christmassy!

What's Christmas dinner without the crackers? Won't be the same without the paper hats and silly jokes!

I was originally looking for something to put on the top of the Christmas tree as we always make it a family event but then I saw this mistletoe ball. Mistletoe just makes Christmas, and gives you an excuse to give a few cheeky cheek pecks!

I can't live without our cute, quirky tree decorations. Each year we let my daughter pick 1 more decoration and she makes us one too. These ones are pretty darn cute if you ask me-

I love getting my kids excited about Christmas during the advent time with small treats/toys and on the weekends also little treasure hunt notes of where to find their treat. It can only be a calendar you fill yourself for us, a tradition I carried forward from my own childhood :)

Has to be a tree. I'm itching to get ours up and get into the Christmas spirt.

Oh gosh I love RED and i like how they set up a theme so with the Homespun theme I like all the products in it.

Description as below: mixing bold red and white for a modern twist, this cheerfully-coordinated look mixes vibrant decorations with hand-crafted accessories.
