Top 5 Christmas Tree Pretties

Having spent forever finally deciding upon our tree this year, we have now got the joys of ornament shopping. Decorating a tree is a great way to display your own personal style, and these days it would seem nothing is impossible, we have seen it all. From 80s toys to Santa Centaurs, and we have to say... we are LOVING it !!!

We have decided on our faves this year, initially it was a whole lot of barbie keepsakes, but we decided to straight out eliminate any that were already sold out at retailers as they're of little use to us now. Then we eliminated all the ones that wouldn't fit in with our overall aesthetic, as much as we wanted them (such as the pug in a jar from paperchase)

So here are our remaining top 5 picks, we thought we'd share with our bubblegummy friends.

Find them on Ebay for £3.95






Pastel Christmas Tree Baubles

A staple for any tree, these baubles come in the prettiest colours, and with the variant of glitter, they're sure to add interest to any tree. 

As we've decided to go for a white tree, the touch of pastel will really make it sparkle. 

They're also shatterproof, which is a must for me as the kiddies are sure to knock over the tree at some point, better to be prepared.

Find them on Ebay for £3.99

Heart Shaped Baubles

There is no such thing as too many baubles, and with so many options these days, it's a nice idea to introduce different shapes.

To pair with the pastel set, we thought these hearts would be a perfect addition. Still in the same luster and glitter, with a few matte thrown in for good measure.

Again they're also shatterproof, so bonus!

Find her at Hallmark for $15.95
JEM Ornament

This absolutely gorgeous ornament is by Hallmark, and I am not going to lie, I actually cried when I saw her. 

Jem was one of my childhood faves, and even now is one of my most loved. Sadly I'm unable to purchase her in the UK so am facing huge shipping and custom fee's. Hence my many many tears over this, the most awesome ornament there will ever be!!!

Swiftly moving on before I cry again ..
Find it at paperchase for £4

Hummingbird decoration

Having green in the pastels pack, I thought I should include a little more.

How delicate does this hummingbird look?

Not only is it green, but faceted so will reflect other colours when the light hits it. 
Though it appears to be crystal, it is in fact acrylic so another sturdy piece unlikely to break upon the inevitable tree tip.

Find them at Kawaii-panda for £6.71

Pusheen Plushie Ornament

Last on our list are these adorable Pusheen plushies. Not all will work with my colour choices, but the majority would still look adorable on our tree, especially the Christmas present Pusheen.

Sadly with these, they're bought blind so you can never guarantee which you'll receive. I must have some form of plush cutie on my tree though, so worth the risk!
