Christmas By The Sea

A unique seaside Christmas, for anyone who likes to think creatively and bring their favourite place home.

Christmas with the sea in it

If you're someone who loves the feel of the seaside, there is no reason your decorations should not say so. For a less ordinary take on your festive theme, how about taking some inspiration from the ocean?

Shell wreaths and shell decorations do most of the work on a door or a mantelpiece. Then ceramic dishes, cups and sculptures with a coastal hand to them, tealight holders for the dark afternoons, and seafood napkins, jute placemats and table runners for the day itself. There are warmer things too, from lambswool gloves and hot water bottles to scented candles and a spiced rum for the metaphorical walk back up the beach.

All these are touched by hand by the UK's best creative small businesses, and made to last well beyond the season. Explore a countryside Christmas, Christmas home decorations and Christmas wreaths too.
