Personalised Christmas baubles are a fun and thoughtful way to commemorate big milestones – such as a wedding, a new baby or a new home. And as we start to think about Christmas decorations for the 2022 festive season – from stylish Christmas stockings to Christmas wreaths and artificial Christmas trees – they reign supreme as one of the most special ways to make your home feel that little more magical.
Of course, the way we decorate our tree at Christmas can be really divisive. You may be a minimalist (with a strict ‘silver and white’ only theme) while your partner, flatmate or family an undisputed maximalist: into full-on tinsel, rainbow brights and multicoloured lights. Luckily, this year’s leading Christmas decor trend shows a demand for vibrant colours and atypical Christmas décor (think: lanterns and festoon lighting that we’re far more used to seeing in summer parties, to help manage cost). So, not only will people will be less precious about miss-match decorations, but you also really don’t need to buy masses of new baubles to update your look. Rather, just one or two personalised baubles and sentimental items to help shift the mood of your home.
Sure, you could make your own personalised tree ornaments, but there are some really great options online – handmade by independent sellers at Etsy and Not On The High Street, or stocked at stores like Fortnum & Mason and Anthropologie. We’ve found 15 tasteful personalised baubles that look tasteful (and fit in with the rest of your Christmas decorations). Nothing that looks cheesy or that will easily date round these parts.
