Decoration Ideas Reviews

Being a bit of a traditionalist I usually leave my Christmas decorations up until 12th night, but I am afraid the Christmas cards have to come down well before that! I always stick most of them to the door at the bottom of the stairs (behind which are the gas and electricity meters so the door doesn't get opened over the holiday) and ...  Read the complete review

Help! I don't want to be a perfectionist..... My husband much prefers a real Christmas tree to a fake one, so every year for the past five years we have spent the best part of an evening just before Christmas messing around with a bucket of gravel, trowels, chunks of wood, hammer and nails, secateurs and an unhelpful seven foot tall ...  Read the complete review

A rather short opinion by my usual standards but I thought you might like to know of a family tradition we have regarding Christmas tree decorations. You will often see decorations for Baby's 1st Christmas - a lovely keepsake. But why not do as my Mum has done and keep the tradition going. My Mum buys a new Christmas tree decoration ...  Read the complete review

I find that the best place to buy decorations for your tree is your local garden centre. Most have a part of the indoors store sectioned off especially for the tree, table and other decorations. These are more expensive, but they’re much better quality and last a lot longer too. To have the perfect tree, I firstly suggest that you ...  Read the complete review

No my title isn’t a Christmas store or some strange code it’s how long it takes me to decorate my Christmas tree! Here’s my day in the life of a perfectionist tree decorator. I need to be in the mood so off goes the TV and on goes a selection of music that I can listen to. No not Christmas carols YUCK! But a ...  Read the complete review

For those members out there who live in the Lancashire area, there is a fantastic garden centre in Todmorden that has been around for as long as I can remember, and can cater for all your decoration needs. Having moved into our house two years back, my girlfriend and I decided to pay a visit to said garden centre, and with it being close ...  Read the complete review

You can make your own decorations the ones that I did there where a hit where 1)pine cones -sprayed painted gold, arranged in a bowl with greenery. 2)pop corn -popped corn strung on to cotton then hung on to a tree. Please don't eat it after it has been on the tree for about a week. Hang it out in the garden of the birds. ...  Read the complete review

I have a huge problem this Christmas: friends, with children are visiting, and our house still looks like a building site! As everyone knows, most Christmas fun is around the dining table, be it playing games, eating, or drinking after our big meal. However our dining room is a complete mess. Half of the walls haven't got plaster on ...  Read the complete review

In recent times, the old glittery stars, baubles and tinsel which used to be all the rage when I was a girl, have been overtaken, in the most fashionable houses, by home-made decorations made from recycled materials, foodstuffs and the most unusual natural materials. Here are some ideas to utilise in your own home this Christmas. By ...  Read the complete review

Last year I moved house 3 days before christmas, and the last thing I was worried about was christmas decorations. It didn't even cross my mind that I would need to buy some, so I ended up wih all sorts given by family (and got my tree in a last minute rush). To be quite honest it looked a little tacky, there were all sorts on it, ...  Read the complete review

Home made decorations are lovely at Christmas, especially if you can get the kids involved too. Here's a few suggestions. Pine Cones. Don't buy the ones in the shops which are priced extortionately. Go for a walk in the woods, pick up your own, bring them home and spray them yourself, adding some glitter if you want to. ...  Read the complete review

and less tacky... To be perfectly honest, I hate christmas shopping. Usually shopping is one of my favourite past-times, being a 15 year old girl, but I cannot stand walking through the centre of town when I'm surrounded by cheap tacky christmas decorations. I really appreciate getting home to a house which is tastefully decorated for ...  Read the complete review

I love to make my christmas tree look that extra bit special by adding chocolates and candy onto it. But i have been fed up over the years of getting completely ripped off by the manufatures who make little chocolates with string on that you can tie to the tree. They can charge anything from 99p for eight (more if the name cadbury is ...  Read the complete review

Have just got back from Christmas shopping, trying to get it all done before the big rush, and whilst out I popped into my local Asda store. I was amazed at the range of Decorations that they had and have bought all the decorations that I need from there. They have a wide range of colours, I have gone for gold and red this year and the prices are ...  Read the complete review

I have just been shopping at Asda, and no joke I spent about 1hr just looking at their decoration range! It is absolutely fantastic, very extensive and more importantly very cheap but expensive looking! They have all shapes and sizes of Angels and stars, pretty doll like ones, china ones, traditional ones, with prices that are ...  Read the complete review

...a normal dead tree, which you decorate very well. We always did it at home, we never bought one. Before xmas we went to the forrest and searched for a very old death tree and we decorated it with many different products, real lights, electronic lights, at the bottonm some foliage and under it a plastic foil which nobody sees, but it is very ...  Read the complete review

There are two main trains of thought when decorating your home for Christmas. One that your home should look "stylish" and two that it should look "fun". these two opinions seem to roughly divide on whether the people involved have small children or not. Personally I do like th Stylish look with the co-ordinated ...  Read the complete review

Sorry I haven't updated this op - I've just resurrected it- cos it's that time of year again. I'm sorry it's in the wrong category too - dooyoo decided to put it in this sub category after it had been posted. Christians and pagans each have their own ideas about Christmas trees and decorations and this is one of those ...  Read the complete review
