With October coming into it's last week, it's nearing the time when we pack away the pumpkins and treat buckets and get the tree and decorations out. We can practically hear the sleigh bells and festive songs chiming in the distance already...

So whilst it might still be a bit early, we just couldn't resist showing you some of the goodies we've been getting into the shop already. We've had cards and advent calendars in for a while, as well as the first wave of decorations and the always highly-anticipated Emma Bridgewater Christmas collection.

From the wonderfully quirky Shoeless Joe decorations that are always unique, to much more traditional baubles from Gisela Graham, there's some gorgeous decorations this year. Here's a few of our favourites so far, including the glass rainbow, which flew out last Christmas as a result of the renewed symbolism it held throughout the height of the pandemic.

As we already said, the Emma Bridgewater Christmas collections are always a big deal every year. This years featured Christmas puddings and robins and traditional toys galore. It's all simply gorgeous and would certainly make your Christmas table look like a winner on the big day.

Last year we had the Jellycat Christmas range for the first time and people went a little bit crazy for it, understandably. This year has been much the same, with Gingerbread Fred selling out within days of us getting him in! But luckily there are plenty of other fabulous characters who are both hilarious and adorable and we simply love them all.

Sending cards is such an underrated part of Christmas, don't you think? we love it, and we encourage everyone to do it if they can, even if it's just a few to your nearest and dearest. It's a simple way of showing your loved ones some festive cheer.

These are just a few of our favourite pieces from our all-things-Christmas ranges so far. There's so much more available online and in the shop, including more decorations, advent calendars, and everything you need to wrap your gifts too. So stay tuned for more Christmas content, and in the meantime see it all for yourself on our website or by popping in to say hello to us in the shop!
