Each year we like to identify the major themes or trends for the coming Christmas season.  In 2018 there is a return to fun whimsical styling, as well as the continued interest in non-traditional Christmas colours including pinks and blues.

Over the past two years, our founder, Nicole, has embarked on trips to the three most magical Christmas cities in search of a final answer on which was the most beautiful. If you’re not sure of whether to visit New York, Paris or London for Christmas, then read on...

Visiting the Dyker Heights Christmas lights was a must whilst in Brooklyn. They're famous worldwide for their divine opulence, all dreamed up by the local residents. People come from miles to walk through this gorgeous Christmas wonderland, and for one night, we joined them.

How could it be that the owner of a Christmas store, and all-around Christmas lover, had never been to the city that never sleeps - New York, at Christmas time? When the mercury started rising in Australia, the time had come for her to pack her stocking and take off for the Big Apple. Hello Christmas in New York!

Each year we create our summary of the Christmas trends based on our visits to Australian and overseas markets, suppliers and manufacturers.  The 2017 trends include old favourites of red, green gold but also some stunning uses of blues and various tones of pink.
