christmas around the home

Another Christmas inspired post today (we hope you are enjoying them so far). By now most of us have decorated the tree (or trees) in our homes and hung our stockings by the fireplace. But what about adding that festive touch elsewhere in the home. Christmas is about indulgence and celebration so we think it's worth going all out and adding the christmas cheer around the whole house. Why limit Christmas to just one room or just have a tree? What about using a seasonal scent, a diffuser, air freshener or soap, so the house not only looks Christmassy but smells like it too. If you enjoy the festive season as much as we do then these ideas could really make this Christmas extra special in your home. 

We love finding something special each year to add to our collection of Christmas decor. Year on year when you open the boxes full of Christmas treasures and unpack those exciting items it adds something special to the whole occasion. From mugs to cushions to bedding or prints there is a massive range of products available. Disgard the boring tea towels and pick out something fun and festive, it is Christmas after all. 

Here are a few of our favourites.

easy like a sunday morning

The clocks go back tomorrow and we all get an extra hour in bed! (wahoo!) So we think it is vital that we make the most of the additional time and create the perfect, relaxing, lazy Sunday morning! In the colder months we find it much easier to stay in our pyjamas and lounge around in bed without feeling guilty or like we should be using our time more productively! Sunday is the one day of the week when we are able to indulge ourselves with a lie in, knowing all the grown up chores and tasks have been done for the week! 

Once we have woken up naturally (no alarms on a Sunday!) it's time to sort out breakfast in bed! A warm bowl of cinnamon and banana porridge and a hot chocolate is the perfect way to start the day in a special mug and bowl! Making the bed inviting and cosy is vital! Plenty of cushions and some blankets on top of the quilt help to ensure there surely could not be any reason why we would want to venture out! Sunday is usually a Netflix binge watching day but only once we have actually decided what to watch that is!

We have selected some items we think help to create the perfect Sunday morning!
