I like to get a few new tree decorations every year and this little wooden house would look lovely on our tree. I have a theme!

I also like to have a nice wreath on the door. Just a simple one with green and reds usually, but it feels nice to come home and see it.

the smell of mulled wine

These would look cosy hanging up in the fireplace. I'd keep them up all year round!

For me Christmas tree lights bring that atmosphere. If there were nothing but them would be perfect for me

Christmas sticky labels!! I have to wrap so many presents for 4 children, family here and family overseas. Labels make it so much quicker than gift tags, but look nicer than a Sharpie. Santa agrees too!

With DD's birthday and Christmas in the same week, I need a lot of card holding space.

A penguin. We have a collection of penguins, including light up ones, some fluffy ones from the Falklands plus some mini ceramic ones from the Falklands.

This little dude needs to come live with us!

My house is not complete till I have switched on my Christmas stars.

It's the simple things. They're not sparkly or tinsely and they don't sing a song, but we all need something to hang cards on!

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a brightly lit and beautifully decorated tree. Love decorating the tree with my children whilst listening to Christmas music :)

I know Christmas is on its way when I use my wooden Belgium gingerbread moulds. I was given them by a friend who lives in Brussels and they are so beautiful. In Belgium they have three foot moulds that are passed through generations and really intricately carved. Mine are just small but lively!

Paper chains, I put them everywhere and it's great fun for all the family

I could not live without the Christmas tree with baubles

I think you need a tree, stockings, and a nativity scene. Anything else is nice, but not essential.

It would be ideal if they sold fake snow to give xmas the extra oomph to the deco

Ability to visit in-laws; also xmas crackers ....even though the kids are teenagers,

Brandy snaps and a star wars lego advent calendar in my house!

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/artificial-snow-372603

We need a white Christmas, as it hardly ever snows on Christmas day then we make have to fake it!

I need to have this tree!

For me it's a nativity scene, our current one didn't come with a Joseph so we substituted in a Lego wizard. A complete scene would be lovely! www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/christmas-shop/christmas-home-decorations/christmas-home-decorations/porcelain-nativity-scene-380976

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/christmas-shop/christmas-candles-holders-and-lantern/christmas-candles-holders-and-lantern/round-bark-candle-holder-372452

CANDLES I burn so many I'm supposed the Environment Agency haven't been round to see what's going on! The more cinnamon and baked apple the better!

I was going to have a browse of Homebase to have a look for a new Sideboard table but a message pops up saying they no longer do any free standing indoor furniture... OK then.....

I actually like the spiral path finders so much I've just reserved some! www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/set-of-4-spiral-tree-path-finders-370978

I've had my driveway redone this year so the focus this year is on some nice outdoor lights and these are a great combo of tree and star (both Xmas essentials for me), so look perfect for the job!

www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/pink-lustre-champagne-glass-370799

Champagne (or any) glasses. Must have new ones each year as you can never have too many!
