[Lifestyle] Christmas Homewares Wish List

Christmas is a big deal in my family. My mum has boxes upon boxes in the loft full of Christmas paraphenalia ranging from bottle openers, napkins and the same bizarre glittery decoration that she always hangs from the downstairs toilet ceiling (not the prettiest thing in the world, but it wouldn't be Christmas without it!). I love that the whole house is Chrismas-fied; you want a satsuma? It's in the Christmas bowl. You want to crack a nut? Use the Christmas nutcracker? You need the toilet? Make sure you use the Christmas loo roll! I've compiled my favourite items for you to make every inch of your home as Christmassy as possible. After all, it's only 31 days to go!

Shopping: My First Le Creuset

Well, that's it. I'm officially a grown-up. I think I'm more excited about my latest kitchen purchase than about most of my other possessions right now. I've FINALLY bought something from Le Creuset! I spent a good half an hour sat on the floor of Selfridges with Ms O trying to decide between a pie dish, a flan dish or a casserole dish. When she persuaded me that pie dish was definitely the best option I then had to decide on colour. This beautiful turquoise is unassuming but different and I majorly love it. It's all tucked up in my room until I move house next month, when it will take pride of place next to my standard pyrex. I'm not ashamed!
