10 Christmas Essentials From Dunelm

Christmas is a busy time in family life, with gifts to buy, party outfits to choose and nativity plays to attend. After you’ve successfully navigated all of this you still need to think about decorating the house and getting things ready for any potential holiday guests.

Dunelm is your one-stop shop to all things Christmas and will help transform your home into Santa’s Grotto. From Christmas trees to festive cushions Dunelm has everything you could want or need. Below you’ll find a little list of our top 10 Christmas themed items we’ve found at Dunelm but you really need to get online and have a little look to appreciate all they have to offer.

6 Foot Green Half Tree

Space is a massive issue in many modern homes. We barely have enough room to fit all of our regular furniture in so when you start adding in 6-foot trees it was always going to be a squeeze. This is why we have chosen and we love this space-saving half tree so much. It has an ingenious flat back so it can be easily placed against a wall. This also means you save on decorations as you only have half the foliage to cover. It is only £15 so is also a huge bargain.

Pack of 16 40mm Highland Luxe Baubles

Pack of 16 baubles for only £2.50? Don’t mind if we do. These baubles may be super cheap but, with Dunelm that doesn’t mean you pay the price with the quality of the product. Not only are these Highland Luxe Baubles colourful and bright they also have an expensive luxurious feel to them. You have four different finishes to give a classic look to your tree, these are shiny, matt, velvet and glitter.

2ft Pre-Lit Twig Tree with Gold Glitter

There is something so pretty about this 2 foot lighted gold glitter twig tree we couldn’t not include it in this list. It would make a shining centrepiece on the dining room table or a side table in the living room or bedroom. It’s so versatile you could place it anywhere to add a little touch of yuletide glam. It’s currently £12 at Dunelm so if you really fancy it you could get a couple and create a very romantic effect with the soft lighting.

Highland Luxe Bauble Wreath

This wreath goes nicely with the baubles we chose for your tree. A wreath is a pretty subtle way to make the outside of your house a little festive. We love the thick green leaves of this one intertwined with the bright colourful baubles, pine cones and gold-painted leaves it gives off fun vibes. It is also only £20 right now at Dunelm. Pop in-store today and see if you can see this before you buy.

Pass the Santa Game

Set crackers aside with this Pass the Santa game and enjoy some pass the parcel with music rather than a loud bang. To play the game you simply pass the Santa (clues in the title) unwrapping as you go until you reveal the prize, joke and novelty hat hidden within. We love this idea and think kids will go crazy for it. At £4 each they may be a little pricier but for the sharing fun game, it is one hundred percent worth it.

Santa Face Shaped Napkins

We have even more Santa shaped things for you next with these shaped napkins with Santa’s face on. What a cheap and effective way to add some more Christmas cheer to the table on the day. Only £2 for 16 napkins most households with only need to buy a single packet.

Dachshund Washable Mat

Another way to bring the Christmas cheer to your guests as soon as they get to the front door is with a festive foot mat. We love this one that says ‘Dachshund through the snow’ It is sure to get a giggle or two out of your family and will set the fun tone you wish to keep inside the house. It’s also only £3 which is such good value for money you’ll want to leave it at your front door all year round.

Wooden Animal Scene Advent Calendar

This one is a real show stopper. Why would you want a cheap chocolate advent calendar when you could come down every morning to this elegant wooden drawer advent calendar with a sweet woodland scene on top? It is £25 but for something you can use year after years its great value. Minimise your plastic waste and choose your own treats this Christmas.

Pack of 6 Make Your Own Felt Crackers

Again these make your own crackers are a bit of fun and a great way to connect as a family is to build them together. You can add your own small prizes but some things such as jokes and party hats are provided. Kids will love getting involved and at £3 for a pack of 6, it doesn’t matter if they botch one or two.

Pom Pom LED Reindeer Cushion

This charming reindeer cushion with real LED lights trapped in his antlers and a big red pompom nose is a delight that young and old will love. Blonk this cushion on your sofa around December time and instantly the room will begin to look a lot like Christmas. It’s £18 at Dunelm right now.
