Review: Arthur Christmas. *smiles happily*
ANOTHER Christmas film? I know, right? Now we do LOVE our seasonal film viewing – but we’re picky, only adding the very best to our collection, and ignoring the growing dross pile as years go by.

Pre Christmas Christmas Shopping List – Wooden Christmas Cards! *love*
Aren’t these just brilliant? The ‘timbergram’ is a delightfully distinctive and stylish wooden postcard, great for Christmas! Personalise yours with your own engraved message.

Pre-Christmas Christmas Shopping List – The Advent Tree Calendar
Loving this fabric advent calendar – beautifully traditional, room for a small gold coin in each pocket, and adore the fun pom poms! Spotted over on Not On The High Street, the Advent Tree is by Cocoa Bean, it can be yours for a smidge under £35
Pre-Christmas Christmas Shopping – Beautiful Wooden Advent House
Really loving the traditional feel of this not-very-traditional-at-all wooden advent house. Each ‘door’ is a drawer, so the Advent Fairy can place her own gifts inside each day – and when it gets dark, the house lights up and looks just beautiful. It looks to me as though it probably doesn’t fold flat, so you’ll need some loft space to store it for the rest of the year – but definitely worth nudging...
Pre-Christmas Christmas Shopping – Utterly Fabulous Burlington Burlap Sacks

Excitedly spotted in Harrow & Green’s shop on Not On The High Street, the personalised burlap Christmas Sack could be waiting for you on Christmas morning for just £20.
