Make merry with a statement bauble this Christmas

We all have a few Christmas rituals, but whether you’ve had your Yuletide plans all wrapped up (and laminated) since September or you’re more of a fun-and-festive type (aka tinsel personified), there’s no right or wrong way to kickstart Christmas. You know what does feel wrong, though? A naked Christmas tree – because tradition dictates that when we haul a 5ft fir indoors, we’ll dutifully truss it up with the best baubles and decorations imaginable. 

Thankfully, the bijou bauble is still big news, with the best-dressed trees wearing an eclectic cluster of novelty, niche, classic and kitsch Christmas decorations. So nab one of these covetable Christmas baubles from just £5.

Are you feeling cautious when it comes to Christmas shopping, but also reluctant to let go of your cool-kid status? Fear not: the best novelty baubles scream (sorry, whisper) hipster in all their avo-on-toast, allotment-loving, nostalgia-laced glory, offering just the right amount of kudos without breaking the bank. 

Calling all spontaneous shoppers, keen Christmas revellers or anyone looking to kickstart the feel-good vibes this festive season (that’s all of us, then): these kitsch and cute, ‘cooee-look-at-me’ tree treats will add endless amounts of joy to any decadent decs edit.

Whether you see your Christmas decorations as hanging heirlooms to be lovingly tucked away in the loft year after year, or you’re just feeling a bit Billy big baubles, these are the statement tree treats to treasure right now.

If you love meandering round Christmas markets, feasting your eyes on fine winter fare, you’re most likely a traditionalist. Make a beeline for red, white and green baubles that boast all the feels of a vintage market trawl and add a touch of cottagecore-meets-Scandi-country-estate to your Christmas dec collection.
