About this deal

But don’t be disappointed by that selection if your favourite isn’t there. The range is much wider, and that’s just a taste. Do have a browse as there’s every chance who or what you are after might well be there. (image credit: Florence and Belle) This is actually a choice of three, as you can get both Mario and Yoshi too. But I have decided to go with the controller. There’s a rustic nature to each design that makes them more appealing, and with each being hand-painted, you know you are getting something unique to you as well. (image credit: Florence and Belle) A more generic offering, this is a glass bauble that’s perfect for the retro gamer in your life. Or you if you happen to be a fan of arcade machines. The same maker did some slightly different ones last year. But this year’s set is bigger and for me, better too.

Of course, we have flagged up the Primal Scream Screamadelica decoration above, but you can choose from The Pixies and Teenager Fanclub through to Neu!, Lou Reed and Bowie. These handmade designs are great as a gift for a music lover too. Of course, whatever catches your eye depends largely on your musical taste, but all share one thing in common, which is the handmade nature of each one. All are painted peg dolls with attachments on the top to fix to a tree branch. (image credit: Florence and Belle) I tend to do a top 25 retro Christmas tree decorations and baubles round-up each year, but as yet, I haven’t been able to update it for this year. When I do, I’m pretty sure these will be present. But the range is so deep that I feel like I should give the collection a feature all of its own. (image credit: Florence and Belle) It represents an interesting shift in Christmas celebrations. The average UK windowsill is today more likely to be adorned with a candlelit cottage than a nativity scene.Bob Ross. Yes, the man with the big hair and big canvases, known for his wonderful The Joy Of Painting show in the 1980s. It’s currently being repeated on BBC4 if you want to get acquainted or reacquainted with it. A set of five glass decorations, which apparently represent the treats the designer’s Nanny and Grandad use to give him as a child. The Battenberg one is a dream. Many of the designs currently selling well are shaped like houses from typical Scandinavia, where these little models are sold by design brands such as Broste Copenhagen and Ferm Living. Interest in Scandi style is a nod to the enduring legacy of the trend for hygge – the Danish sense of cosiness and comfort, often complemented by candlelight – which is something that many people crave, especially at Christmas. This is a mini replica of the kind of record player you might expect to see in a bedroom in the 1960s. Think Dansette or a similar brand. For something so small, there really are some lovely details on this. Plenty of colours too.

Yes, a little bit kitsch, but I don’t see that as a bad thing when it comes to retro Christmas tree decorations. Well, I featured a Mini, so it seems right that the other leading light of retro cars is featured too.If like me, you love a bit of Lego, then you might want some retro Christmas tree decorations made out of the stuff. Yes, I love Peanuts, so of course, I went looking for some decorations featuring the Charles Schulz characters. Best of all, they come as a set of three, which puts them into the better value category of this rundown. Each one is unique and hand-finished and with the kind of kitsch appeal that will create a talking point.

In recent years, Christmas decorations have been dominated by quirky ornaments referencing pop culture, such as baubles shaped like pug dogs, David Bowie or avocados. Simple houses emitting the warm glow of candlelight are a change of pace. Choose from eight different guitars and colours, with each guitar cut and printed onto a hardboard with a gloss finish. Personalised too, so you can have a name printed onto it.The Museum of the Home holds an annual winter yard sale, where visitors can buy decorations from local makers. Patten says the popularity of ornaments is also influenced by the practical restrictions of the home being decorated. “Average home size is shrinking, especially for younger people and first-time buyers, so miniature houses are an easy way to look festive without having to rearrange all your furniture. This follows a trend in interest in miniatures which has been rising steadily for the past decade.” Last year I went for a robot. But this year’s sci-fi entry is this wonderful spaceship at John Lewis. So that’s your words of warning. Buy now or be disappointed. With that out of the way, here is the full list to hopefully inspire you to do something a little different this festive season… Patten says desire for the comforting and traditional often coincides with periods of social and economic upheaval. “This happened in the 1800s as a result of industrialisation and urbanisation. There was a revival of traditional Christmas customs … seen as a link to the ancient past and a constant that people could cling to in the changing world.”
