There’s a special kind of magic that comes with Christmas — we're not talking about the big day itself, but the magic in the ritual of preparation.
Even when the 'belief departs', the Christmas magic always starts through the joy of getting ready for Christmas, for me this is where the real magic is. The beauty of passing on our traditions each year knowing the magic we create will never ever end with us.
The ritual of preparation is something that deserves a blog post of its very own - which will follow. First, let's talk about our new collection...
For many of us, Christmas begins with the decorations, the big event of unboxing and unwrapping them carefully each year to visually pour Christmas magic into our home. So much joy amongst the jumble of baubles, some old, some new, some handmade - the bright paper and sequinned (mostly glue) decorations that come home from school, balding tinsel that still glitters no matter how many Christmases it had seen, and the lights - the string of warming lights that illuminate the room (that you wished you’d wrapped up more carefully the year before!) Always a cheerful combination, always a little mismatched, sometimes disorganised, yet always a completely joyous start to bringing in the season.
This years Cracker Collection were designed to capture the playful spirit of decorations — the unapologetic use of full colour, and the sense of fun that comes with tradition and preparation. This years crackers aren’t shy; they’re bold and designed to bring a sense of happiness whenever they are placed.
We've expanded our Bestselling Santa Stripes in this delicious new colourful collection of Linens/Cottons. Always with our signature velvet embellishment and our buttery matching ribbons. Unwrap the joy of Christmas in full colour.
