Bonkers baubles for your Christmas tree
Forget subtle sparkle and colour co-ordination - this year we're embracing kitsch and dressing our Christmas trees with the most bonkers baubles we can find! Which is your favourite?
Meal Deal
Tasteful? No. Tasty? Yes! In what has to be the most 2020 move ever, takeaway food is apparently a big trend in baubles this year. Paperchase’s offering includes a pre-packed sandwich, a burger and a vegan sausage roll (yes, really).
£10
Eye of the beholder
A statement dangling decoration immediately adds a little festive je ne sais quoi to any mantelpiece, garland or light fixture (mind your head, Mr. M!) but this Cody Foster number is taking pride of place on my tree.
£15.96 (was £19.95)
Top dog
OKA in Sunninghill are selling a practical menagerie of cute and cuddly Christmas decorations, but our favourite has to be this dapper dog (his name is the Earl of Barking – I mean, come on!).
£8
Christmas Spirit
t’s been a long old year, so no surprises that alcohol-themed decorations are more popular than ever. You can’t go wrong with this gin bottle from B The Lifestyle Shop – just remember to take them down before Dry January.
£10
Wild Thing
Novelty shapes not your bag? Add a stand-out print instead for a update on a classic. British brand Sass & Belle have tiger, leopard and zebra print baubles this year to add a little safari sparkle to your decs.
£5
Christmas quackers
Kitsch and cute! Add this flock of pink rubber ducks to your tree for immediate Americana vibes – it beats three French hens, at least.
£15
Blow your horn
Because who doesn’t want a shiny balloon unicorn on their tree? You can always count on The Conran Shop for some Christmas cool, and the balloon decs that are OTT, arty and all the festive fun we need this year.
£9
Plant lady
If you’ve embraced your green thumb during a year of lockdowns, this pretty pot plant decoration from Oliver Bonas should be right up your street (a lot harder to kill, too).
£7.50
Super Kawai
Deck the halls with rolls of sushi, fa la la la…John Lewis is bringing a little Eastern glam to Christmas this year with its Art of Japan collection, but this maki roll number is too silly not to love.
£5
Designer decor
Did you know that Versace made Christmas baubles? You do now! At this eye-watering price, we’re not going to be decking out the entire tree (sorry, Donatella), but maybe we can sneak one on somewhere high up…
£84
Long live the queen
The crown suits you, Freddie! No need to worry about Mr Mercury being lonely on your tree, either – this fun collection from Rockett St George also includes David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and Rolling Stone decs.
£18
In the bag
If you’re missing your leisurely shopping trips around Selfridges (we’ll be giving Oxford St the swerve this year!), do the next best thing and kit out your tree with the iconic yellow bag.
£16
Take flight
Forget dreaming of a white Christmas, we're dreaming of the holidays abroad. No need to wish upon a star to go places you can plot your post Covid trips with these M&S baubles to help you.
