[Inspiration] Inspiration Page – XM25 Traditional Christmas

Traditional Christmas

Rich cranberry reds and deep pine greens evoke the timeless warmth of nostalgia and tradition, mixed with modern maximalism. This look is bound to bring extra joy to your festive season

Best Pine Garland

Create a fantastic 'WOW' moment with our most realistic everlasting garland sweeping up the banister, fill yours with sparkle by adding lights and baubles

Go-Red Papier-mâché Baubles

Each bauble has a distinctive and intricate pattern that's inspired by nature and applied by hand. Collected in a shallow bowl or plate, with fairy lights and ribbons tucked between, these make an ideal won't-go-over centrepiece.

Felt Robin Decoration

A beautiful and friendly felted robin to stand on a table or on your tree and use year after year

Amber & Green
Paper Garlands Set

There’s no excuse not to decorate with these rich coloured paper garlands. Without a drop of glitter or tinsel, these garlands will you give that same, if not better, joyful and celebratory Christmas feel.

Simply pull out gently the paper folds of the garlands that have been hand cut and hand dyed, and drape them round mirrors, and pin up around doorways.

for the table

Create a spectacular and glamorous Christmas table this year with our selection of table decorations and accessories. Add splashes of colour with festive tablecloths, napkins and tableware and create eye-catching table centres with our flower vases and decorative trays

Cypress Green Metal Vase

Sarah loves this vase for it’s perfect shape, perfect colour, life-lasting made-from-metal vase

Classic Christmas Pillar Candle Set

Inspired by the colours that last through winter — evergreens and and bright berries — this set of pillar candles will bring the colour of Christmas to any table, shelf or mantlepiece

Bold & Brilliant Rajastan Christmas Tablecloth

Perfect for Christmas but I also use mine for summer lunches and picnics, just laying it out on our grass. The red flower print works brilliantly with the teal colour used for the leaves and trim.

Cheery Robin Christmas Crackers

These crackers are a cheery addition to the Christmas table. These are handmade, and printed with vegetable inks on sustainable paper. Filled with ‘good’ gifts like wooden plant labels and washi tape

individual christmas cakes

Christmas cake never seems to get eaten in Sarah's house, so she tend to make several small ones rather than a single big one.

These are also great for presents and for putting in people's stockings. If you have a small oven, you might want to bake the cakes in two batches

mince pies with orange pastry

Sarah loves an orange flavoured pastry with my mince pies, a traditional tasting twist on a classic recipe.

Fill with Sarah's sloe gin mincemeat which as a perfect recipe for Stir Up Sunday. You can use straight away, but it’s even better left for a while to mature and marinade

Christmas pudding

This recipe, adapted from Constance Spry, makes a pudding with great texture and flavour, including whole almonds and masses of dried fruit.

It's the one Sarah's mother has always used. Serve with brandy butter or ice-cream

With a Slot for Everyday, Wooden Advent Train

You can have a wall calendar for Advent or go for this mini train to fill each day's drawer with whatever you fancy for the family or a child for a daily treat. I'm keen on its put-it-away-for-next-year sustainable angle.
