There is no denying November and December are 2 of our busiest months. The lead up to Christmas seems to come faster and faster every year, and 2024 has been no exception.

This year has been our best festive season yet.

Despite having to battle through rising costs, extreme weather conditions and at times what felt like a saturated market...we made it out unscathed and on top of our game.

The festive season is fun, exhausting but most of all satisfying.

We create a host of different items for the festive period, and here is a run down of our TOP 5 Christmas Products

5. The Homemade Scented Candle

We Love making these. We (or should I say I) started making candles in the Spring, just as a hobby, but very quickly realised how I had a slight obsession for them. It's unbelievable the amount of different scents, colours and containers you can get.

We chose to go down the sleek but stylish route with a classic black glass jar, wooden wick and beautiful botanical inspired scents.

And apparently you love them just as much as us!

4. Blooms with a Brew

Blooms with a Brew came about from a pure love of Hot Chocolate and Flowers..ha! Random combination I know. I have to admit to seeing the idea on an American Pinterest board somewhere, and instantly fell for it. It was right up my street, and something I and many others had never seen before.

It's been an instant hit. Blooms with a Brew is the perfect, alternative sustainable gift, with a great price point.

Combining a Bamboo reusable takeaway mug, with a sachet of your favourite hot drink, and a beautiful posy jar of seasonal flowers all held together in an easy to hold carrier, this is my ideal Christmas floral gift, I don't know about you?

3. Kissing Balls

We get asked for these every year, and every year they sell out.

A great alternative to a wreath, these hanging floral festive decorations, can be hung inside or outside.

Combining a variety of winter foliage such as Spruce, Conifer, Eucalyptus, Pistache and Pittosporum they not only look great, they smell great too!

You can even jazz them up with added festive accessories and ribbons if that's your thing!

Do you want to know the story behind Kissing Balls?

Origin

The tradition of kissing balls dates back to the Middle Ages, when people would twine evergreens into a ball shape and hang them in passageways.

Victorian era
In the Victorian era, the tradition was updated by poking foliage into an apple or potato core to create a circular design. The balls were often decorated with scented herbs and foliage that symbolised love and devotion, such as lavender, rosemary, thyme, and mistletoe.
Custom
Unmarried maidens would line up to wait for a chance to stand under the kissing ball and receive a kiss from a potential suitor.
Symbolism
Kissing balls symbolise romantic love and are popular for holiday parties and wedding ceremonies.

2. Table Arrangements

Always a stable classic.

For years people have decorated their Christmas dinner tables with pretty festive centrepieces, and honestly, it's a tradition that just keeps going.

However what I would say, is in our house, we end up with so much food on our table on Christmas day that we end up taking the arrangement off to make more room..ha!

But I guarantee we are not alone there.

1. Christmas Wreath

The undisputed champion of our Top 5 Christmas Products has to be the Christmas Wreath.

Our Wreaths are all individual. No 2 are ever the same. We have customers requesting 2 identical ones, and as much as we try, each one is still unique in its own way, and we personally love that.

We hand make each and everyone, to ensure you get the best possible product.
