Top 5 fairy lights

In the area we live, very few houses go all out with the festive lighting. Occasionally you may pass a house with giant light-up sculptures in their garden, waving Santa's, grazing reindeer and such like. Most, however are quite reserved with their decorations. Generally framing internal windows with fairy lights.

I think that perhaps it's the modern equivalent of placing a candle in the window to help loved ones find their way home in darkness.Though it seems this ancient tradition as many origins, this was always the explanation I liked the best.

A few firm favorites with the locals tend to be either ones that replicate icicles, or brightly coloured blinking lights that mimic strobe lighting. At the emporium, we like to do things a little bit different. You can still light up your windows whilst keeping things kawaii.

Here are our top 5 fairy lights to light your way home this winter.
