Ten Picks from H&M’s Christmas Homeware Drop

Ten Picks from H&M’s Christmas Homeware Drop

Now that Halloween is over we’re officially allowed to talk about Christmas, aren’t we? We are loving H&M’s Home Christmas collection this year and its affordable mix of tree decorations, cushion covers and tableware. Although not available in Irish stores, you can shop online with free shipping until (you guessed it) December 25. See below for our top 10 picks:

Cute and kitsch, this advent calendar is as traditional as it gets. Crack open the Quality Street early and tuck one away for a daily December treat!


Wall-hung advent calendar; €17.99 at H&M

Get glamorous with the Bombay mix and peanuts this year by serving them in this gold trio.

3-pack metal bowls; €14.99 at H&M

Forgo white and opt for a red tablecloth this Christmas, the inevitable red wine and gravy spillages will go almost unnoticed.

Cotton tablecloth; €7.99 at H&M

Now we’re not exactly sure how much salad gets eaten over the festive period, but if that’s your thing these reindeer ones are a gorgeous option.

Metal salad servers; €12.99 at H&M

Any excuse to buy a cushion, right? We love this one as it isn’t overtly Christmassy (no red and green here!) and is a nice touch when decorating your sitting room.

Printed cushion cover; €7.99 at H&M

If minimalism is more your thing these decorations are a nice, simple addition to the tree. No glitter, no shimmer but gold enough to sparkle beside fairy lights.
With December feeling like one endless party it’s likely there will be wine. Get yourself a festive bottle-stopper, or maybe two?

Bottle stopper; €5.99 at H&M

If a chocolate advent calendar is too much daily temptation we love this advent candle, a minimalist twist on an old tradition.
 We love a novelty tea towel and these are a cute festive option without veering into tacky territory.
2-pack tea towels; €4.99 at H&M
Over Christmas there will most certainly be cake! Serve it up in style with this gold cake slice.
