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).

Thanks and good luck!

The 24 Inch Holly and Berry Pre-Lit Wreath looks beautiful

CK1223 Sun 26-Nov-17 21:42:16

I would choose the 30cm Standing Santa

Giant Singing Stag Head - What else !!

deanhead Sun 26-Nov-17 22:10:04

the 7ft dark green Balmoral artificial Christmas tree

The first item would be the 24 Inch Silver Glitter Tipped Pre-Lit Wreath in my basket. Second is AA batteries to operate it`s LED lights. My door wreath is from a car boot sale. This is so my nicer.

For me, it's the inflatable Santa and helicopter. My 2 year old DGD is obsessed with helicopters. She would love this.☺️

The Forest Fruits Twig Wreath for me.

Totally unrelated to this thread my 22 year old son came back from Homebase yesterday with 2 LED deers to replace 2 old ones that had stopped working . He also fancied the 8' Santa ....

www.homebase.co.uk/7-5ft-swiss-pine-green-pre-lit-artificial-christmas-tree_p435687 we desperately need a new tree as ours is a bit the worse for wear... This one is absolutely beautiful ??

This snowy Christmas tree www.homebase.co.uk/6ft-snowy-artificial-christmas-tree_p447360

Ours needs replacing and I loved the snow effect on this, would be lovely with some simple lights on

finleypop Mon 27-Nov-17 08:00:54

I love the Clear Glass Bauble with Angel & I would buy a whole set of them for my tree

madmoo88 Mon 27-Nov-17 08:28:41

I love the 24in silver Glitter tipped pre-light wreath it would look lovely on my front door

grandmaz Mon 27-Nov-17 08:33:11

Small is beautiful for me! I would love the tiny decorated real tree with snowflake garland. I always used to have a real tree when I had family at home - part of joy of Christmas was going out with the children, choosing the tree and beinging it home. After a recent autumn when I was quite poorly and too weak and wishy washy to go out and choose a tree, I bought an artificial one...the children are long gone and are choosing trees of their own, which is lovely. The artificial one is good and looks the part, but it's not as joyous ...and I so miss the scent of a real tree! So a little tiny real one would be a lovely addition to my Christmas decor.

jazzitup Mon 27-Nov-17 09:38:04

Oh wow, it just has to be the LED spiral rope tree as ours is well past it's sell by date lol.

lorilizy Mon 27-Nov-17 09:38:32

I'd go for the Rattan pre lit wreath

rosrob29 Mon 27-Nov-17 10:25:12

green with gold glitter tree glass baubles

franjess2000 Mon 27-Nov-17 10:26:51

The large white glitter stag with scarf in the corner of my room just to see what my large Great Dane thinks of this.

glammanana Mon 27-Nov-17 11:31:52

I would love the snowy tree to have in my DDs Conservatory whilst the outside of the conservatory is decorated with the outdoor lights so taking the indoors into the garden where we can enjoy more space and enjoy warm glasses of mulled wine whilst being kept warm with a Homebase outdoor heater.

NfkDumpling Mon 27-Nov-17 13:09:26

300 multi-coloured lights please, my tree lights died last year. I can’t grumble they’ve done well.

I really like the idea of the bauble wreath but we have to tie ours to the door knocker and it blows in the wind and rattles the knocker so I don’t think it would last long.

Esmeralda78 Mon 27-Nov-17 14:00:49

I think the Warm White LED Grazing Reindeer Silhouette Light looks great.

jeanniemac Mon 27-Nov-17 14:38:35

Definitely the slim 6ft Christmas tree as I struggle moving furniture every year to find space for the tree. This would save all the hassle and look good.

Envious Mon 27-Nov-17 15:07:43

I’d get the 8 ft. Tree I have tall ceilings and I’ve not had a tree in years. Most are too heavy for me to fool with.

Ikea1234 Mon 27-Nov-17 15:39:47

I love the Large Clear Feather Glass Bauble. Might have to pop to Homebase to buy a set of 6 or so for my tree this year!

cangran Mon 27-Nov-17 15:43:35

I'd love the Giant Singing Stag Head. It looks good to me - well a little naff really and it reminds me of a moose and home (I'm Canadian!).
