hello guys welcome back to my channel we
are getting festive today welcome back
to a brand new video I am sat down
amongst a load of stuff that I've been
buying over the last few weeks from
various brands from budget to Hell more
Lux to small business and I thought I
would just sit down ahead of filming my
decorate for Christmas with me video
which will be coming Sunday so very very
soon um I thought it was probably just
easier to sit down show you everything
within this video so that if your future
you are watching and you can refer back
to this video to see where everything is
that I got new this year then yeah it's
all in one place it's all here and we
have sat down today filming it and just
feeling festive together so I've got my
coffee in my anthropology mug which I
got last year if you remember this is
the snow snow cap I think they called it
and it's a little bigger I'd say it's
better suited to a hot chocolate but
Home Bargains this year have brought out
these which just reminded me very much
of my little anthropology one these ones
were about £15 I think the Home Bargains
one was about
two2 £2.99 something like that but
anyway let's just have a
sip
fuel up for this video I'm going to try
and not waffle but we've got Primark
we've got H bargain B&M home sense we've
got the white company and more so yeah
buckle up guys and if you want to see
what I got for Christmas this year then
just keep watching I feel like I need to
put this coffee out the way cuz I feel
like a dog might p a patter into here
very very soon okay so I haven't really
organized or categorized any of this yet
but I have just received this in the
post today and it is a small business so
let's mention this company first so on
Instagram Oakland Cottage Interiors she
has the most beautiful products that she
offered to send to me which was so
generous of her especially she's just
started up her business and yeah she
didn't have to do that but I of course
love the items and had to share them
with you guys so a little shout out to
her um she sent me this firstly this
little cowbell which I actually was on
hunt for Su like this I want to get some
bigger ones as well and I'm thinking
sort of around the staircase maybe on
the wall lights to have these little
hanging cowbells I just think they're
beautiful so this one comes with the
little white ribbon I thought these
would be quite nice as especially with
the ribbon as little table place setting
you know like around the
napkins just love it and that like
antique brush as well you guys will know
that is very mean another antique brush
item that she sells is this candle
Snuffer which I just think is so unique
most candle snuffers come with like a
really long stem that you can put what
did I say p Pata P Pata hello sweetheart
you coming to say
hello you coming to say
hello it's a little Cowell giv kisses
this candle snuff I just love I've never
seen anything like it really really
pretty and then also this huge handle
stick holder candle holder with really
long like church candle in here just
love it really really pretty and then
lastly she also sent over this little
display board so these are always really
handy to kind of have a a few things
sort of stacked together on a board so
that it just kind of ties it in together
rather than it just being plunked on a
table to have it on a display board like
this I think it makes it look less
cluttered so thank you to Oakland C
Cottage interior sending over those a
bit that's very very generous of you I
think I'm going to move on to the white
company cuz that is for me anyway it's
like the
luxury present from me to me type of
gift I like to treat myself to every
year at Christmas to just really get
into the spirit I like to start burning
these items once we start decorating for
Christmas and um yes so I've got a
selection of some of their Christmas
scents I also have one of their bro is
the Christmas brocher this is called the
thread that they've renamed it and they
do this like new design where they're
not white anymore they've actually got
like a full image on the cover which
this one in particular for Christmas
2023 I am very pleased about because
it's obviously a beautiful little
Cottage House front door with the wreath
the tree and a gorgeous little floof I
picked up the furry popr these smell so
strong but also just to strengthen them
throughout like the Crist Cristi
Christmas period you can just pop on
some of the essential oil on here and it
honestly carries it really well so I
have the furry oil as well so to go with
that I did pick up one of the Botanical
candles in fur tree which I think just
sat on a nice little candle
plate honestly you don't even need to
open these these just
smell so good this is honestly my
favorite favorite favorite scent of all
time especially at Christmas but yeah of
all time fur tree is just the best I do
obviously love winter as well I also
love this one which again I decided to
pick up a Botanical candle in Fireside
cuz Fireside for me I think I'm going to
pop it in here where we've got the log
burner it's like a sweet
Woody Smokey scent honestly so good
smoked wood Birch and Amber and then
last but not least I also picked up this
pack of 12 Christmas tags they just say
Merry and bright love and wishes and
peace and joy speaking of white
company we have a few dupes so I spotted
these in B&M and had to pick them up we
got a couple of white company dupes here
but this one at £250 from the scandy
snow range this b ball is just beautiful
the fact that it comes on the Black
Velvet Ribbon and it's like a kind of
champagne beaded gold they do have one
on the white company that is a dark
beaded Shade that's it's kind of like a
mer I actually prefer this color to be
honest with you but then they also do
these little mini houses very again
Neptune white company they all have
these little kind of ceramic houses
which I've been collecting for years now
I love creating a little village scene
somewhere and yeah these ones are
actually hanging I probably would switch
out the thread on them they're just like
well I don't know actually cuz they're
quite thin but they're just like a
little gold thread with the gold foiled
Windows as well um really really pretty
set of four for £4 p each and then with
the tree in this room we go quite Glam
white company style champagne Golds
antique brass Black Velvet that kind of
thing so I thought I would pick up these
again I would switch out the ribbon on
these cuz they're in a Navy which we
don't have on our trade but I always
keep some spare like black organza or
Black Velvet Ribbon just to switch out
the um
Loops if I need to but because these are
an antique breast mirror I thought they
um I don't know I just thought they go
with the theme really really well I have
two of these already or they come in
pairs so they are the star place mats
from B&M at6 and as we are hosting
Christmas this year I thought I would
actually pick up two more pairs so that
we have enough for everyone that's here
on Christmas Day itself we do have more
on boxing day but for Christmas day
there's five of us so we'll be able to
each have our own star place mat and
then I also picked up these Deluxe
stocking hangers I think I already have
one with a por print I need to have a
like good rummage through all my
Christmas decorations that's kind of
what I'm doing in prep for my next video
or my video coming on Sunday um but I'm
think I think I have seen in there a one
of these stocking hangers with a por
print so Barney can have that one for
his stocking and then we've got these
two for Tom and I that I can just pop on
the piece cuz it's the first year that
we've had a mantle piece so exciting
although I do want to put some kind of
Garland on there so I'm not 100% sure if
we'll use those but anyway you'll see in
the upcoming video what I end up doing
let's move over to home sense we love a
good home sense trip at this time of the
year I'll probably end up going back a
few times to be honest with you I
actually have a few things in here for
bar and he's right
there he's just opened his eyes
we have a
toy and it does have like crinkles and
squeaks and stuff in it but I'm not
going to do it cuz we're going to save
this for Christmas Santa PA is going to
give him this so we've got that that was
$7.99 we also got these sets of festive
dog treats which are £349 from Cupid and
Comet and then Denzel which he always
seems to like the Denzel's treats so
they have quite a few festive additions
this year they've got these pigs in
blankets which are pork apple and honey
and then they also do the Christmas
lunch bites which are turkey cranberry
and stuffing and then also I saw this in
the holiday edition grooming pet
grooming section from pad it's the
sensitive skin shampoo and spray in
roasted chestnut with cinnamon extract
sounds like you want to eat it reduced
down from $19.99 down to $9.99 I also
got a little decoration for our tree
that we're going to have probably we'll
buy that in December maybe the first or
second week of December I'm hoping we
can get out and do like go and visit a
Christmas farm and like a tree farm
where you can actually pick and choose
your own one so that is what I'm
thinking in the kitchen like a real tree
in there so for that tree I want
nostalgic traditional colors the Reds
the greens the kind of felt things the
cute things the photo frames we'll
probably put a couple on there as well
and anyway I saw this little dinosaur we
have our own bony the Dinos saw so I
thought a little nod to him at $2.99
then I also got this um what's it called
like a Christmas Globe where you can
shake it around and it's got the little
snow scene on the inside so this was
$14.99 they have some very similar like
very similar just slightly smaller in
B&M for £5 and I didn't see those until
after I bought this one so I still love
this one obviously but I'm just going to
say that bear that in mind and then home
bargain I got this huge candle that
they've been doing for6 OR7 this is in
uh the win it's from the winter
collection it says on the front there in
nari lime and basil I just thought for
that price was such a big 3 wi candle I
thought that was really good I also got
a little treat fter treat that I saw in
home bargain that sounded a bit of me
milky bar but Speck Los flavored I got a
jigsaw puzzle again oh I was going to
say I don't know prices yeah that's not
the right receipt I think it was about
£3 this £3.99 cuz I remember thinking
wow that's really cheap and it's a
festive scene Christmas puzzle one of my
favorite things to do at Christmas is
just whack out a puzzle the the only
thing is that's usually when I go home
for Christmas is when I do that um
because we're having it here this year
we will need our dining table for food
and it's like one of those things once
you start it you can't stop so I need to
find a spot to do this maybe in here
somewhere I'll set up a little puzzle
station but yeah how gorgeous is that F
it's even got a fireplace literally just
like ours what else have we' got in here
another home bargain find and this is
the bbon vanilla centered reed diffuser
that they do to be honest with you even
more so than the actual fragrance itself
the actual container you can obviously
use these containers and then buy the
refills from the white company if you
want the nice scent but bbon vanilla
sounded lovely and I love that they had
um green and red I also got from hob
bargain I've seen that they're doing
this new scent from rido oh nearly
dropped it so I got both the body wash
and the bubble bath I love rops bubble
bath I just feel like it's some of the
best it really lathers up really nice
and this is in the winter Edition cozy
cabin spiced orange and vanilla scent so
yeah picked up both of those too have a
nice indulgent
christmy bath one evening soon then I
stopped up up on some home fragrance
bits from Home Bargains this one the fur
needle and Amber is one of my favorites
and I think it was like a limited
edition last year I'm not sure but
because of the Amber in there it's a bit
like yeah it's a bit actually like
Fireside from the white company you know
how they've got the smokiness but the
Amber kind of makes it a little bit
sweeter so I got those anyway and then
also the other Home fragrance products
that I love in the christmy Edition is
this from Stacy Solomon if I can get
this all year round I get it because
it's so so nice it's in Winter walks
which is um with notes of fresh pine I
have this at the top of our stairs and
as you're coming up every single time I
smell it saw this Christmas card
although it's kind of bent in the bag
which is a bit annoying but from their
Lux range at Home Bargains 69p I just
thought this was a really pretty card
says for the for a special couple with a
couple of stockings on there for a
special couple at Christmas just say's
Merry Christmas on the inside so yeah I
thought I would pick that card up couple
more of these hos have these at5 which
are little ceramic tree dishes but I've
got a couple of tree plates but I don't
think watch me pull out about five
others from Storage but I don't think I
have like a bowl version so this would
be perfect for little Christmas nibbles
and snacks maybe a crisp Bowl when
you're hosting and I just love it £5 I
thought that was bargain another home
sense purchase that I thought was
festive but not too iny face f they have
some plates which I've shown on um I
think on like Instagram in a real or
something before and when I've seen it
and I've left them I have regretted it
so I need to go back and find them but
they are plates in this kind of color
but with like a little house scene on
and they are $3.99 so so affordable I
don't know why I didn't it's one of
those things that if you see it you buy
it and that's why I start shopping early
because there's been a couple of things
this year that I've left and thought no
I'll wait nearer the time and I've now
not been able to get hold hold of them
for instance my M&S bags if you remember
me saying in a previous video about
these little gift bags I've got the
matching wrapping paper to I only got
two gift bags but I want to get more for
table Place gifts and um I can't find
them I've been to three different mns's
and they seem to just be sold out
they're not online anymore and I'm like
why didn't I just pick up the mall
whilst I was there anyway um this yeah
it's festive but not too festive in that
it's just got a little toad stall in the
middle some leaves around the edge and
then holly leaves on the outside so
really pretty kind of pie dish and this
was $10.99 then I popped
to Hobby Craft I was going to say Hobby
Lobby then but that's America isn't it
Hobby Lobby oh I wish I wish we had the
stores that America has I've seen a
couple of videos from Americans this
year that I've been doing Christmas
shopping and I'm just like how do you
have that like the cowbells for instance
I think
is it Hobby Lobby maybe or Target or
something whereby they've got these huge
giant cowbells like a set of three on
this really pretty Z with a ribbon
$9 we just don't get that in England we
don't get it uh but anyway I got these
two little decorations from
Hobbycraft um this plain little uh White
stocking in like a cottony canvas
material with a J ribbon I think these
were about they're less than a pound
each I'm pretty sure don't don't quote
me on that but I'm pretty sure they are
um and then this hanging decoration
which I thought was just beautiful
little Letts to Santa again this will
probably go on the tree in the kitchen a
bit more kind of like bigger garish
Boulder things like this whereas this
tree in here will be
very Glam minimal
classy
classy mature champagne Golds that kind
of thing you know glass wble
this is going to be the tree that no
one's allowed to go near the dogs will
destroy cuz yes we're probably going to
have three dogs here on boxing day but
anyway moving on I've got a couple of
bits from Primark this isn't really
festive but I picked it up anyway
because it reminded me a little bit of
the white company and it's this gift
wrap that they've got they did have it
with all the Christmas gift wrap though
um and it's got little hearts on so I've
got some like this with a little stars
little gold stars on perfect for
Christmas but I thought the hearts could
be good for year around really I also
have um a couple of the Primark
gingerbread scents so we'll try these
out and see how we get on but the red
diffusers they say last up to 8 weeks
but I don't think I get that much use
out of the primar ones they don't seem
to last that long and then the
gingerbread scented ornaments that they
do I've got Christmas tree one of this
as well £2 but these are good like
they're smell now but also again with
the popr you can like refresh them with
the essential oils so yeah two 22 for
that and then the red diffusers are £3
how nice is that packaging even to gift
it to someone for Christmas I just think
it's so pretty also in that gingerbread
house scent I got one of their room
sachet that you can just pop in like
small spaces and then also the scent
forest pine which is probably the one
that I prefer but these are
£130 each they used to be a pound for
two but yeah 130 each and then last but
not least from Primark we've got these
festive bones which is going to be
making an appearance on this one down
here pet two pack of bows I don't know
which one's my favorite the red velvet
or the green velvet I don't know if it's
off I don't know if the ring light is a
bit too bright there but it's like a
really nice forest green color or the
red I I think I I don't know I like I
like them both we'll have to have a
photo of each with him and put a little
poll on Instagram to see who who which
ones voted most for which one he wears
on Christmas Day and he wear the other
one on boxing day so it's fine it's all
good I've ordered some bits from H&M it
might even already be live before this
video goes live but I'm thinking of
doing a little try on session of all of
their pet festive jumpers that they've
brought out this year not even jumpers
but like costumes as well so I've
ordered a few for Barney we'll see if we
can get him trying some on for a little
Instagram reel on his Instagram um but
