Farmers
Farmers has a great selection of decorations in their stores every Christmas. This year their shelves are packed with ornate pieces in pale gold, silver and cream. They have some very elegant Russian-inspired baubles at a great price, and charming ornamental ballet slippers which would look lovely hanging from any tree. As well as the normal Christmas themes (reindeer, snowmen, red, green and gold) they also have some decorative pixies and fairies in bright greens and pinks – not colours traditionally associated with Christmas – a popular trend this year around the globe.
