The best!! Was about to add the tinsel to cart but couldn’t justify the £15 shipping. Maybe I should. It’s so beautiful and way more sustainable than the plastic rubbish that doesn’t last. Thank you Eleanor.
This is so perfect! I think you’d love the book A Very Vintage Christmas, which is photographs of Christmases from 1900-1980 (although just missing our beloved 90s childhood!)
"I want to feel like I’m at my grandma’s house, about to rewind Prancer on VHS while I pick at a glass bowl of Quality Street chocolates and almost faint from her excessive radiator use." ALL of the above, including, but not limited to, those glass baubles, the clip-on tree candles, the paper chains ... I have a secret nostalgic 70s/80s childhood memories board on Pinterest, and there are many Christmassy flashbacks. Bliss.🎄
Love this! I started collecting my Christmas decorations in the 90s as a teenager and I remember Habitat doing lovely ones similar to some you’ve featured here, I still have several.
Just needs some tartan bows! An excellent list though, thank you. The Choosing Keeping Christmas catalogue is definitely worth ordering too- it’s not Christmas if you haven’t ticked a few things in a catalogue.
Although quite a lot if these gorgeous things are not available to be shipped to Italy, I still bookmarked them for family in the UK. For them to bring to me, I mean.

A fabulous list of fabulous things. Thank you. Has also introduced me to some shops not on my radar… always a joy thanks again.

Fabulous selection Eleanor…thank you…☺️
This is wonderful 🥰 (Though I still need to know where to get a Tiny Tears and a Barbie Dream House 😝) x
Absolutely love everything on this list! ♥️
what Christmas should be all about - tasteful nostalgia! Thank you, I love every single thing
This is great! I got The Christmas Book just last week, love it! 🎄

I gasped. This is the Christmas ephemera of my stylish grandparents’ dreams. 🎄
My thoughts exactly!
Brilliant list Eleanor
yes — Charlie Brown’s Christmas album, Home Alone, and Little Women forever and ever and ever ❤️
A beautiful list! Even though I am in the US the inspiration is fun. You are spot on with a nostalgic Christmas!
