Christmastime is often hectic, so why not take a moment to slow down, cosy up and spend a quiet evening at home with loved ones?
Check out our top ideas for a festive night in, then just add your favourite people!
How to prepare for your night in
There are some quick and easy ways to help your evening go without a hitch, and make sure everyone gets into the spirit of Christmas.
Add some warmth
Not only a great way to warm your space, candles bring a magical and inviting glow to your home. Check out our fabulous selection of Christmas decorations for an extra festive feeling. Some snuggly throw blankets won’t go amiss, either.
Set the mood
Nothing says cosy like soft lighting, so switch off the “big light” and recruit a couple of lamps instead. Tap into your other senses too – think Christmas-scented reed diffusers and a playlist full of all your yuletide favourites.
Get comfortable
Whether you’re gathering in the living room or setting the dining table for activities, ensure you have a seat for everyone. We’ve a wide range of chairs and stools in stock – perfect when you’re in a pinch. If space is limited, pop down a soft rug and plenty of cushions to make the floor more comfortable.
Stock up on snacks
You’ll need enough festive treats to go around – from chocolate coins to cheese. If you’re putting on a more substantial buffet or meal, why not ask everyone to bring something with them? A well-stocked drinks trolley will make celebrations even more special, especially when dressed with twinkling fairy lights.
