CHRISTMASA NIFTY, THRIFTY GUIDE TO A CHRISTMAS
Here are all the thrifty tips and tricks you never knew you’d need for Christmas day until now!
AROUND THE HOME
We know homeware stores have been pushing the “woodland-chic” look for Christmas decorations for years now but that’s not us. Instead, we’re repurposing forgotten bits and pieces from birthdays and Christmases past!

Mantlepiece
Glittery decorations are nice to look at, but not so nice to clean up after. Instead, get out the coloured paper and gems you forgot were in the craft draw and start bedazzling! It’s the perfect holiday activity for the kids and an eye-catching mantlepiece decoration for you. Start crafting here.

Tree
Have a go at adding your own DIY ornaments to the ones you’ve collected over the years. Get creative using sticks from the garden, pieces of string, pipe cleaners and pom-poms!

Wreath
We’re all a little guilty of hoarding the pretty bows and ribbons that come on our gifts and then promising ourselves that we’ll reuse them. Now you can! Create this fun and colourful Christmas wreath to hang on your front door.

GIFTING
You left the Christmas gift essentials to the last minute and now all that’s left is the reject pile of ribbons, wrapping paper and chemist perfume that’s way too strong. Look no further!
Spread the delight...

Wrapping Paper
Sure, Christmas wrapping paper is cute but it can also be pricey. Instead of going out and buying some, why not use what you already have? Try our wrapping tricks with cellophane and paper confetti or colourful patty pans for a festive pop of colour under the tree.
