The Christmas Boutique


Christmas is coming! It's the 1st of November so I finally feel that it's appropriate to mention Christmas. Having said that, I know plenty of people that started their Christmas shopping during Summer and I also know lots of people who will most likely buy their gifts on Christmas Eve.

The team at The Christmas Boutique kindly sent me a lovely selection of their Christmas pieces and what's better than an online store dedicated to all things festive?


It did actually take me a while to figure out what this was for - totally should have checked the A4 sheet of paper that came with the parcel! Anyway, this is a draught excluder and I can imagine this would go down well with most young kids this Christmas. You could also place it on top of your mantelpiece!


As someone who loves cake (eating and baking), these are the perfect baubles to hang on the tree this Christmas. The large cupcake baubles are perhaps a little too big for the Christmas tree that I have but I'm sure I'll find somewhere to display them. I can't wait to cake up my tree next month!


I've always wanted to bake my own macarons but I've never got round to it so these are the next best thing, right? I love the bright colours and these will go perfectly with the cake baubles.


How adorable are these decorations? I'm still deciding whether to hang these on the tree next month or to hang them on one of the doors instead. The "sugar" has unfortunately come off a bit from Mr Gingerbread so I'll definitely have to handle these with care!


I love these tins as they'll be perfect for filling with festive cakes and biscuits and they'd make a great gift as well. If you're not into cakes and baking then you can always fill these with non-food items. I'm thinking of using the smallest tin to store some of my stationery at work so I can spruce up my desk space a bit. 


If you're buying wine for anyone this Christmas, you might want to consider this festive bottle bag holder. You could also fill it with treats and use it as an alternative stocking. I'm currently using it to store my lovely body lotions!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
P.S: Happy November!
