Every December, we love seeing what new and exciting Christmas decor and gift ideas make their way into our favourite homeware shops. From neon Christmas trees to personalised stockings, there are so many stylish ways to get festive this season.
This is a collection of our favourite Christmas decor items and homeware gifts perfect for your loved ones this festive season. Some of the items are from our partners in Hong Kong, while others are available online with international shipping!
Fresh Christmas Wreaths
Despite the endless array of artificial wreaths available, there’s nothing quite like a beautiful fresh wreath on your front door, especially when it smells like eucalyptus, pine, and lavender. What better way to welcome your guests before they’ve even stepped foot inside!
For our British friends, stylist Tessa recommends Wild at Heart and this beautiful Frosted Forest Wreath.
Buy it online now or visit one of their shops in London.
Christmas Blooms
Our friends at Amaranthine Blooms have a whole new line of faux flowers available on their website and are giving new customers 15% off their first purchase!
With festive bouquets in stock, there is no better time to buy some beautiful blooms that will last long into 2019.
While you may want to go fresh for your festive season wreath, we always encourage people to go faux when it comes to year-round flower decor. Our friends at Amaranthine Blooms are having a festive sale now, so there is no better time to buy some beautiful blooms that will last long into 2019.
Visit the Hong Kong showroom in Chai Wan, or enjoy worldwide shopping and shipping on their website.
Christmas Candles
Candles are somewhere up there with socks and jumpers as classic Christmas gifts, but for good reason. Who doesn’t love a gift that smells incredible? Whether you are buying for others or to create extra cosy Christmas ambiance in your home, make sure to invest in high quality, slow-burning candles.
To really splash out, you can’t go wrong with Cire Trudon. Available online at John Lewis.
A New Kind of Christmas Tree
There isn’t just one way to do a Christmas Tree and if our Hong Kong friends know anything about Christmas styling, then it’s that you have to get creative! Stylist Claire has her eye on this neon Christmas Tree from Electric Confetti. We love that it could be used again and again!
Available online or in store from Lane Crawford.
Meaningful Decorations
Perfectly colour-matched hanging baubles look great on a tree for sure, but we love something a little more personal. Buying beautiful, meaningful decorations to use at Christmas and throughout the year will make decorating your tree so much more special. These Hong Kong inspired hanging decorations from Lion Rock Press are adorable.
Available online or from multiple Hong Kong stockists.
Fun Fairy Lights
Do you have a sad box of tangled fairy lights in your home that you are dreading plugging in this Christmas? Maybe it’s time to upgrade your lights for Christmas an beyond! String lights continue to be key decor items year-round and we love that there are so many unique designs available these days.
We love the designs from Rockett St George in the UK who also have international shipping.
Advent Ladders & Santa Sacks
MINT is our favourite Hong Kong shop for unique homemade items, and it’s not only because our very own THS stylist Helen owns it! Helen and her business partner Amelie are constantly coming up with new ways to upcycle old items to bring you special items for your home.
Currently being ‘Made in the New Territories’ ready for Christmas are these super cute Advent Ladders and Santa Sacks. We love that the advent bags can be removed so we can use the ladder as decor throughout the year.
Buy yours through their Facebook Page or head to one of their pop-up shops in Hong Kong.
Christmas Lunch Crockery
Investing in beautiful ceramics can make every mealtime special, but even more so around Christmastime. Your dinner decor will instantly be more stylish with new dishes. Stylist Liz has picked out these stunning dinner plates by designer Tracy Hollins from Loveramics.
Hong Kongers can visit a Loveramics store and anyone can buy online with free international shipping over $200. Some stockists available internationally.
Gilded Drinks Trolley
For all those festive events at home, and every dreary December evening in between, why not invest in a stylish drinks trolley? Add your favourite Christmas beverages and a sprig of holly and you instantly have a living room centerpiece that you’re friends and family can enjoy!
Upstyle happy hour with this striking gilded drinks trolley from Andrew Martin. UK readers can buy online now and receive in less than two weeks.
Drinks Decanters
To really go all out with Christmas tipples, get fancy with a collection of drink decanters. Add these to your new drinks trolley to make your evening sundowner stylish and special. This is also the perfect gift for the whiskey lover in your life.
Stylist Liz loves these Tom Dixon decanters available online internationally from Lane Crawford.
