Some of us like to pull out all the stops this time of year – and a little drama goes a long way when it comes to setting the scene for Christmas.
Sure, we all have our best-loved heirloom baubles and glitzy favourites to hang on the tree – not to mention foraging for faux foliage and bright berries to festoon around the fireplace.
But if you’re short on decorations with big personality, or thinking of doubling up this year to make a Santa-sized statement, this charming collection is worth checking out…
