Christmas is just around the corner and if you haven't decorated your tree already, we have Kerry Law to talk us through the best decorations on offer.
1. Wedgwood Embossed Baubles and Snowflake from Liberty, £25.00/£17.50
Some real fine bone china baubles and earthenware snowflakes for your tree! Beautifully embossed with intricate snowflake designs in cool wintery colours, these classic decorations mean you need to keep the cat away from the tree for the whole season – actually, in fact, no-one go near the tree!
3/5 – very pretty but sheer luxury, we'll only be having one on our tree
2. Chalkboard Wish List Christmas Star from Cancer Research Shop, £2.95
A brilliant idea: a chalkboard hanging decoration allowing you to write heart-felt messages or just huge hints about what you’d like for Christmas! 17cm wide with its own gingham ribbon and chalk attached.
4/5 – all profits go to charity, and that’s what Christmas is all about
3. Folk Christmas Pudding Ball from Gisela Graham, via Selfridges £8.95
Add a folksy touch to your Christmas tree with this gorgeous felt pudding. With icing, berry and beading detail, just make sure any Christmas visitors don’t try and eat them. Owl, robin and penguin folk decorations also available.
5/5 – perfectly round and plump (sixpence not included)
4. Party Cone Hanging Decoration from Cancer Research Shop, £9.95
How pretty are these? This set of six assorted fabric cones with their own hanging ribbons, which are big enough to be filled with chocolate treats – but luckily look equally attractive empty, after you’ve eaten the lot...
5/5 – they even look like little Christmas elf hats!
5. Red Glitter Shoe Hanging Decoration from Gisela Graham, via Heals, £2.50
There’s no place like home...with these ruby slippers hanging from your tree! 10cm long with small rose design they may look like a pair of glitter Miu Mius, but you must never, ever try and squeeze your feet into them – we know you want to, but it’s going to hurt.
4/5 – affordable enough to buy several and induce some shoe envy in friends
What are you hanging on your tree this Christmas?

Adorable! I think Christmas decorations make a lovely gift too as you take them out every year and think of the person as you do the tree.
