Now it’s time for the fun stuff! From putting presents under the tree (and trying to guess what yours are), to finalising your Christmas tablescape theme, and baking sweet treats, it’s all uphill from here!

Christmas tablescape

If you’re hosting Christmas this year, you’ve probably got an idea or two in the works already, but now it’s time to really lock in the décor for your Christmas day tablescape. Try to keep your theme consistent and match your table to your home, adding personal touches here and there. For tips on a stunning tablescape this year check out our Table Styling Ideas for the Festive Season. A guaranteed crowd pleaser? Try your hand at our DIY linen Christmas bon bons – remember you can customise the colour of the linen or fabric to work with your unique colour palette. 

Make some seasonal gifts

From gingerbread houses to rum balls, and everything in between – some of the best Christmas gifts are the ones that make the season memorable and delicious. For ideas on what to bake to please even the most discerning in your circle, check out our delicious Christmas Baking and Edible Gift ideas.

Wrap it up!

With your Christmas shopping all done and dusted, it’s time to start wrapping. Whether you like an eclectic mix of gift wrapping, you prefer a more clean and minimal aesthetic, or you just pick up whatever looks best in the store, wrapping never gets easier! To help you tackle the most awkward shapes (or to help you disguise easily guessable gifts), we’ve put together an easy-to-follow Christmas Wrapping Guide. From awkward shapes to disguising gifts, check out our guide to make wrapping easy! Don’t have the time?
