Hallway
- Welcome Home Slippers: If you and your guests enjoy long Christmas walks, why not treat them to the comfort of wool slippers by the door? After stepping out of muddy boots, slipping into cosy, wool slippers that mould gently to each foot will be the perfect reward after a winter wander.
- Car Blankets for Frosty Drives: A basket of car blankets in the hallway will keep you and your family toasty and warm on frosty car journeys this festive season.
- Grab and Go Scarves and Berets: Hang up some scarves and berets by the door. Colder than expected outside? No need to rush around looking for an extra layer, just grab a scarf or beret and go!
Our range of wool scarves, wraps and beret hats are perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth on chilly winter days
Living Room
- Build a Blanket Fort: Building a blanket fort is a great family activity to create the perfect cosy corner, and might even tire out your little ones in time for Christmas Eve!
- Small Blankets for Everyone: Deck the sofas with small wool blankets to keep everyone cosy for while watching your favourite festive films. With one each, there will be no arguments over who's got more of the blanket!
- Set the Scene with Scented Candles: Light a seasonal candle to fill the room with a gentle fragrance, adding a warm and festive touch.
Our Amber Jar scented candles not only create a welcoming aroma, but also fill your home with a Christmas glow
Bedrooms
- Layer Up with Wool: Make Christmas morning extra cosy with layers of wool blankets on the bed. With each added layer, you’ll create a warmth so inviting, it'll be hard to leave the comfort of your covers!
- Create a Festive Glow: Warm lighting is key in creating a festive, welcoming atmosphere. Use lamps and fairy lights to cast a soft glow, sure to please your guests.
- Warm Essentials: Stock the room with a wool hot water bottle and lambswool socks for guests that feel the cold – guaranteed to keep everyone warm and toasty all night.

Kitchen
- Christmas Baking: Host a Christmas baking day and fill the kitchen with the comforting aromas of mince pies, gingerbread, or Christmas cake for an instant festive lift. BBC Good Food has great Christmas Baking Recipes if you are in need of some culinary inspiration!
- Christmas Simmer Pot: Add cinnamon sticks, cranberries, star anise, orange slices, and cloves to a slow cooker, or a pot of water on the hob, to gently scent the house with natural festive fragrance.
There's nothing like the smell of freshly baked Mince Pies to set the scene for Christmas!
Outdoors
- Festive Fires: For a night of storytelling under the stars, wrap up in wool blankets by a crackling fire pit, bringing comfort to the chilly evening air.
- Hot Chocolate and Marshmallows: Nothing captures the magic of Christmas like sipping hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows by the fire – a cosy, nostalgic winter activity all the family will love.
A Christmas campfire fire is a great way to make memories with all the family
