1. a real Christmas tree, the smell fills the house. It's an essential part of Christmas for me. We get all the decorations out and decorate it on my birthday in December. We've got lots of different strings of lights and the decorations include ones the DDs made in Nursery, plus they always get a new one each in their stockings to add to the tree.

1. Reusable Advent calendar - full of chocolates!

Loving the homespun range - i always like to treat myself to something new - even a little thing like these cute baubles www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/red-and-white-handpainted-jingle-bells-371138

Paper chains and tinsel decorating the children'a room

A real Christmas tree. You can't beat the smell over the festive season. Big, fat and symmetrical- like Santa 😃. Once Christmas is over we plant the trees in the garden so they live on!

I love the fire lit on Xmas day. The front door locked and sitting down after we have all had dinner.

1000 and 1 batteries for all the kids new toys santa brings them

I love covering my house with battery powered tea lights. Much safer than the real thing and they make the house all cosy

A real Christmas tree - the smell is amazing!

Cushions - can't wait to get my Christmas ones out!! Gingerbread men, reindeers, snowy scenes. We get a new one every year - makes the sofa all that more snuggly when opening presents xx

A tree! And tons of decorations. The more colourful the better

we have to have a real christmas tree which is going to be fun as we have a springer puppy but it has to be done!

Definitely a warm and cosy fireplace. I have this one www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/beldray-pavia-1800w-electric-stove-383017 but in white.

Also, a big glass of Bailey's but they don't sell that in Home base!

Battery operated tealights for me, please. They are so easy and make any room look cosier and more Christmassy. Also, our local Homebase has a Habitat section and I got a lovely rug from there, which seems to make the room feel much warmer.

Love these little lanterns too.

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/wool-felt-pom-pom-christmas-wreath-371953 Got to have a wreath! This one reminds me of my childhood with its fun colours.

Unfortunately Homebase don't sell this...

Cannot do without a welcoming Christmas wreath hanging on the front door. Love them!

A real ceiling-high tree is our biggest essential.

Deffo a real Christmas tree and going to choose it!

Tree decorations like this -our colourscheme is white & silver so ones like these would be perfect!

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/dangling-santa-fabric-advent-calendar-372306

I have always been obsessed with advent calendars since I was a small child - I used to just have the picture ones, but literally about 15 of them dotted around the house! Now my kids each get a cheapo chocolate one, a wooden house with a little present in, a picture one and a fabric one - something like the one linked to above - which I fill with Quality St.

For me, Christmas starts on 1st December when the calendars come out, and they are my favourite Christmas essential!

I can't live without my tree but our 1 year old will annihilate the glass decorations we have so these wooden decs will be a life saver!

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/christmas-shop/real-christmas-trees/real-christmas-trees/cut-needlelast-nordman-fir-christmas-tree-4-5ft-321575 A proper tree, a fake tree doesn't smell right. When they invent that I'll get one 🎅
