Fun guys

You can’t miss them; mushrooms are THE trend this Christmas! Forget boring brown – a forest of colourful mushrooms is taking over the festive season in everything from neon shades to glitter, and classic red and white. They come in every material too, whether you want wood or glass, felt or ceramic. This cute embellished mushroom decoration from Accessorize costs £8.

Handmade holiday

Not only is making your own decorations cost-effective and sustainable – it's great family fun! Get everyone together to create your own dazzling decs. You can be creative, learn new skills, and have a go at upcycling and repurposing. If Kirstie can do it, so can you! The Christmas Garland Sewing Kit, £22, at Fig & Fox has everything you need to create a Christmas garland of eight festive pieces.

Sweet as candy

Candy canes never go out of favour and the red and white stripes are back in force this year. Spread a little Christmas cheer and put Elf on the TV while you hang up your candy canes. Pick up a pack of three glass hanging candy canes, £15, from M&S.

Perfect on paper

Top of the sustainability list, paper decorations are pretty and practical at the same time. You’ll find a huge range of paper baubles, garlands, fans and even Christmas trees – and you can make your own at home, too. These paper snowflakes are just £1 for three at Poundland.

In the pink

Embrace your inner Barbie and make everything perfectly pink! With lights, baubles, feathers, ornaments and even this year’s must-have mushrooms in various shades of pink, it's time to bring the pink ken-ergy to your 2023 Christmas decs. Make it extra special with a personalised pink velvet bow, £13, from Next.
