Things are getting really, really festive up in here! This weekend we went on the hunt for our Christmas tree and some awesome decorations to make our living room feel super Christmassy.

To start with we bought a real tree, just as we did last year but when we got it home and unwrapped it, it was a bit dry and bare so we had to take it back! We ventured out to Tesco and got this 4ft fake tree and actually I think it looks great. It was the only one we could find that wasn’t 6ft tall! A tree that big just wouldn’t fit in our living room.

We’ve gone all out with the fairy lights with some white ones on the tree and some copper ones across the fireplace. My theme this year is gold and cream with a touch of pink. Once I saw the fluffy pink and cream baubles in H&M I couldn’t resist and I knew I had to incorporate pink into the wrapping theme this year too.

I picked up the majority of wrapping bits from Asda as well as these lovely premium crackers for the big day! I also got some bits from Marks & Spencer during their Black Friday sales.

Big thanks to Ocean Loans for helping me buy my Christmas decs!
