Blogmas Day 13: Favourite Christmas Shops and Websites


Around Christmas time there are a few shops and websites that seem to really come into their own with their Christmas ranges with some of the best decorations and gifts around! They are also (for all fellow cheapskates) on the lower end of the costing spectrum.

The first place is Robert Dyas. It may not be your first thought of a good place to go and get Christmas presents, but you would be really surprised by how many I have bought from there. They do particularly good gadgety gifts, and you are pretty much guaranteed to go in there and find yourself something quirky or a bit different. They also have a really good range of lights, with some very unusual or fun ones, although these do tend to be a bit out of my price range. It is very rare that a Christmas goes by and I don't pop into Robert Dyas at some point, and I would really recommend that you check it out if you haven't already!

The second shop that I love for all things Christmas is (of course) Primark. Let's be honest, it was impossible that I wouldn't mention it at some point! They have everything there from really nice bedding to cheap lights to Christmas sweets. And of course, I think that Primark is pretty legendary for their range of Christmas jumpers, for that special someone that you love/hate. I don't think that there is anything I could mention that Primark don't sell in some way/shape/form, and I could spend hours in their home section, just playing with everything.

The next place that I think is so good for all things Christmas (which you may have noticed because I've been mentioning it in a lot of my gift guides) is Studio. This website is actually quite a new discovery of mine, and I absolutely love it! I could talk for days about all of the great gifts that they have (with free personalization!), but they also have an amazing range of decorations. Their lights are so cheap and they have such an amazing range, and I think that you should really check it out if you never have before.

Another amazing gift website is Not On The High Street. This one is a little bit more on the pricy side of things, but they have such amazing gifts and gift ideas. They have so many personalisable gifts, and I can guarantee that you will want to spend a lot of money if you spend even 5 minutes of their website. Also, if you're really struggling to buy for someone, they have specific pages set up to help you get through this problem and get the perfect gift for that person.

If your looking for some nice Christmas bedding or cushions, then I would suggest that you look no further than George at Asda. They have the absolute best range of Christmas bedding and cushions and even just general decorations that I have ever seen, and I want them all! They are just so fun and so festive!

Another relatively new discovery of mine in terms of shops is The Works. This is an amazing place where you can bulk buy pretty much anything, and it is so super cheap. They have a really amazing range of decorations, but mostly Christmas crafts and fun things to do with children around Christmas, and it's all really low price. They also have an amazing range of discounted children's books, which I remember I used to love getting at Christmas time.

And lastly, continuing on the Christmas and children idea, is Yellow Moon. This used to be my absolute favourite website ever when I was young, we used to get the catalogue in school, and I would go through and circle everything. They have amazing crafts for children but also a really nice range of children's gifts.

So there are a few of my favourite websites and shops for Christmas shopping. I hope that I have helped you to discover somewhere new to shop this year and that it may help you out with the trauma of decorating and gift giving!

See you tomorrow!
