Everyone has different styles when it comes to decorating the house for Christmas; some of us have our go-to decorations while others like to mix it up with different themes or something new each year. Homebase would like to know what you'd pick from their range to refresh your collection of decorations and have on display in your home (budget no issue smile).

Here’s what Homebase has to say: “At Homebase we have everything you need to make your Christmas sparkle, from trees and baubles, to giant inflatables and twinkly lights. Click here to check out our Christmas range and please share your favourite decorations below.”

How about this snowy tree? Or a Poinsettia Wreath for your door? Or even some cute Santa fairy lights?

To get you in the mood, here's some tips on decorating your tree:

Have a look at the site and share what would make it into your basket this year! Everyone who posts on the thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

New lights, to get rid of the old trailing wires. Love the red and white scandi look, must treat myself to some of those tree decorations.

I would love a Forest Fruits Twig Wreath. It would add a touch of class to the front door.

kamoc Wed 29-Nov-17 16:23:56

I would pick the Mirror Ball string of lights

jhgillies Wed 29-Nov-17 17:47:26

AbrileSmetschel Wed 29-Nov-17 18:16:02

I loved the little white Christmas light tree

This year I'm leaning towards a more eco friendly affair, so muted and neutral colours, and a less is more - as little plastic and glitter as possible.

So this lovely real tree than can be planted outside afterwards - Living Norway Spruce Real Christmas Tree - 4-5ft www.homebase.co.uk/living-norway-spruce-real-christmas-tree-4-5ft_p337791

A couple of these beautiful neutral - White Poinsettia Christmas Houseplant www.homebase.co.uk/white-poinsettia-christmas-houseplant-15cm_p378826

White berry lights for the tree www.homebase.co.uk/120-white-berry-led-christmas-lights_p470276

Pull Out Foil Garland www.homebase.co.uk/pull-out-foil-garland_p470067

The seasonally scented candles sound amazing - my pick would be the mulled wine fragrance - www.homebase.co.uk/candle-mulled-wine-20oz-567g-_p482520

mini stars string Christmas lights - being battery operated they could be used not only on the tree but round the windows, bookcase, mirrors. Think I need to buy several boxes!!

I'm in the market for a new tree and would need a tall one so the 8ft Green Arc Artificial Christmas Tree would be my choice

Bevinju Thu 30-Nov-17 06:44:24

Natural Decorated Christmas Wreath at £15.
Nothing beats having a real Xmas wreath on the front door to welcome family and friends.

Decorated Winter Garden Real Christmas Wreath - 14 inch looks lovely

del2929 Thu 30-Nov-17 10:58:17

rattan pre lit wreath. it is gorgeous

GranEd Thu 30-Nov-17 11:47:36

I would love that gorgeous poinsettia wreath for the front door. I still use the wreath made by my DDs when they were children (over 45 years ago!) so, as you can imagine, it's a bit misshapen and tatty now.tchblush

moleswife Thu 30-Nov-17 12:12:01

I would also like the rattan pre-lit wreath - it has rustic look that doesn't include snow - don't want to tempt fate!!

Betterlife1 Thu 30-Nov-17 13:24:44

Anything for outside, I'm lacking in that area.

Mapleleaf Thu 30-Nov-17 16:48:37

The 32 inch silver glitter tipped pre lit wreath. Would look lovely on my French door in the kitchen.

Nanabilly Thu 30-Nov-17 19:04:27

I love the traditional Santa tree topper . It would be perfect for replacing my poor star that is well past its sell by date .

MamaCaz Thu 30-Nov-17 19:19:51

The light up house room decoration, because the grandchildren would absolutely love it!

a star for the top of the tree

cheryl1 Fri 01-Dec-17 10:20:47

I would love the Snowy Spruce Christmas Tree. We moved house this year (downsized), and our old tree is too big.

toptaffy75 Fri 01-Dec-17 10:45:05

I would love the outdoor inflatable Santa and sleigh

avril10 Fri 01-Dec-17 16:20:42

New fairy lights that twinkle!

Rowantree Sat 02-Dec-17 00:18:12

The Snow-tipped wreath for me...or maybe the Forest Fruits one....or perhaps one of the real ones as I love the smell and feel of real foliage. Then garlands - may I have several Decorated Real ones? I'd wrap them round the bannisters and drape them over door frames downstairs. I'd love to wrap them with some of the Warm White LED lights or perhaps the Copper Wire lights, to create a magical look in the house for our two little grandchildren. I'd also use them outside in the drive, round shrubs, leading to the front door. I draw the line at nodding snowmen or plastic Santas though....for me it's the real thing every time ;-)
