A Much Greener Christmas!

Well, it's that time of year.

Yes, already.

It's hard not to get just a little excited when Christmas fan(atic)s commence blanketing their front lawns with GIANT gingerbread people, twinkling lights and inflatable Santa Claus's.

If childhood "you" doesn't perk up, adult "you" should question WHY...? It's silly, fun and probably what we all need right now- some light-hearted diversions.

While the frivolity and joy are still present, Yuletide decorating is seeing a green shift. Stroll through any Christmas section at your nearest mega store and you'll notice plastic-free crackers, paper "tinsel" and accordion baubles, recycled wrapping paper and plain timber decorations. Fresh foliage, handcrafted wreaths and real trees are the styling go-to's with plenty of inspiration in Christmas campaigns and on social media.

What better way to showcase your foraged evergreens and sculptural branches than placing them in a ceramic pot or planter?

We show you 5 FESTIVE TRENDS that serve-up all the FEELS, but are gentler on the eye...and the planet.
