The White Company celebrates Christmas the easy way

Decorations for a magical Christmas home

The White Company makes decorating your home for Christmas incredibly easy with an exciting new collection that will make the festive season even more special.

“Christmas is a time to spend enjoying being with the family, not worrying about things you have to do. Life is hectic enough, and at Christmas time we try very hard to help our customers and take on some of the hard work” says Chrissie Rucker, the founder of The White Company. “We try to make decorating your home and giving wonderful gifts as easy as possibly. You can buy all your gifts on-line or by mail-order and we will deliver them directly to the recipient beautifully gift-wrapped with a personal card from you. For easy home decoration, select just a few key stylish “must-haves” which will instantly transform your home for Christmas”

Wreaths
Everybody looks forward to Christmas and a beautiful wreath is key which is why The White Company offers four exciting new ones to choose from.

The Winter-scented collection, one of the company’s most popular, has expanded to include a £40 with fresh bay leaves scented with cinnamon, cloves and orange; it will look and smell great hung on the front door or elsewhere in the house. A special mantelpiece decoration is also available in the same style to give an instant Christmas feel to a living room, bedroom or even a hallway table.

Alternatively the Pearl Wreaths from £12 with elegant faux pearl and crystal decorations brings a little touch of glamour hung in your hallway, dining room or living room. The eucalyptus and rosemary-scented Verbier Wreath £40, meanwhile, is reminiscent of a gorgeous winter holiday – perfect if you are staying at home and wishing you were on the slopes. And, those after something with a more modern twist the fun White Feather Wreath £30 is perfect.

“Wreaths are not just for the front door” says Chrissie “I love using one on the hallway table or a sideboard and I fill it with large pillar candles which I light on Christmas Eve”.

Candles and Home Scents
“You can never have enough candlelight at Christmas,” says Chrissie. “And there is no better time to use scented candles too”.

And so, this season, she has ensured that The White Company has the best looking new range of beautiful scented candles with which to add twinkle and magic to the home for the season. These also make the perfect gifts for friends, family and colleagues.

The Winter collection has expanded to include the Winter Scented Gift Set £25, which comes with a scented candle, a home spray and a small box of pot pourri. There are also some new unscented Tapered Candles £35 (for a set of 12 candles and 4 holders), a Bulb Vaporiser set £15 as well as Red Votive Candles £16. The Cassis range has also expanded with a large, Three-Wick Candle £45, a New Home Scent £10 as well as some Votives £15. There are also some beautiful new Egyptian Fine Glass Candlesticks (£12 and £14) of varying sizes that can be used again and again, for everyday or for special occasions.

Verbier has become truly luxurious with the Verbier Candle Gift box £45, which is a white leather box lined with black faux suede that can be used as a jewellery box once the candle inside has been used up. Finally, to make giving a scented candle just that little bit extra special, there is also now a stylish new Leather Candle Stand £12 which protects whatever the candle is on, plus a lovely nickel-plated candle lid that stops any dust getting into your favourite candle.

Christmas Decorations
“We have spent a lot of time choosing dainty, gorgeous decorations for trees and rooms this year,” says Chrissie.

She is referring to the sweet hanging decorations that are all different but complement each other so well. There is the Twisted Clear Glass Icicle £9, the Silver Leaf-Effect Glass Drop £2.50 each, the Faux-Crystal drop £3.50 and the Delicate Egyptian Glass Tear Drop £4 each. All of these are perfect for hanging off a tremendous tree, or anywhere else you fancy adding a bit of beauty. And, along with candlelight, it’s important to add fairy lights to make it truly feel like Christmas. Try using The White Company’s Crystal Fairy Lights £30 on trees, in windows, along mantelpieces and even up the banister.
