Product Information

Many of the designs currently selling well are shaped like houses from typical Scandinavia, where these little models are sold by design brands such as Broste Copenhagen and Ferm Living. Interest in Scandi style is a nod to the enduring legacy of the trend for hygge – the Danish sense of cosiness and comfort, often complemented by candlelight – which is something that many people crave, especially at Christmas. Kurt Adler used to do different decorations each year featuring the Fab Four, but the label hasn’t done any for a while now. However, you can still buy past decorations online if you hunt around. Last year I went for a robot. But this year’s sci-fi entry is this wonderful spaceship at John Lewis. Yes, I love Peanuts, so of course, I went looking for some decorations featuring the Charles Schulz characters. It represents an interesting shift in Christmas celebrations. The average UK windowsill is today more likely to be adorned with a candlelit cottage than a nativity scene.

In short, there must be something here for you. I have my eye on at least three for our tree this year. And the range keeps on growing. (image credit: Florence and Belle) Bob Ross. Yes, the man with the big hair and big canvases, known for his wonderful The Joy Of Painting show in the 1980s. It’s currently being repeated on BBC4 if you want to get acquainted or reacquainted with it. In recent years, Christmas decorations have been dominated by quirky ornaments referencing pop culture, such as baubles shaped like pug dogs, David Bowie or avocados. Simple houses emitting the warm glow of candlelight are a change of pace.

The Museum of the Home holds an annual winter yard sale, where visitors can buy decorations from local makers. Patten says the popularity of ornaments is also influenced by the practical restrictions of the home being decorated. “Average home size is shrinking, especially for younger people and first-time buyers, so miniature houses are an easy way to look festive without having to rearrange all your furniture. This follows a trend in interest in miniatures which has been rising steadily for the past decade.” I don’t think it gets more retro than this one and if you love the 1980s/1990s and home taping, this is the ornament for you. Choose from eight different guitars and colours, with each guitar cut and printed onto a hardboard with a gloss finish. Personalised too, so you can have a name printed onto it. Sadly, the Adidas City Series Christmas decorations were a short-lived thing, So we’ll have to settle for Converse instead.

But don’t be disappointed by that selection if your favourite isn’t there. The range is much wider, and that’s just a taste. Do have a browse as there’s every chance who or what you are after might well be there. (image credit: Florence and Belle) Four Miffy decorations, two large and two smaller, but all designed to be loved by anyone in your house who loves Miffy. We have at least one person who fits that bill in our home. Yes, a little bit kitsch, but I don’t see that as a bad thing when it comes to retro Christmas tree decorations.If like me, you love a bit of Lego, then you might want some retro Christmas tree decorations made out of the stuff.

The same maker did some slightly different ones last year. But this year’s set is bigger and for me, better too. Some are also available as keyrings if your tree is already filled to capacity, and some as baubles too. (image credit: Florence and Belle)

Colourful Christmas: Retro ornament cards by MULK

This is a mini replica of the kind of record player you might expect to see in a bedroom in the 1960s. Think Dansette or a similar brand. For something so small, there really are some lovely details on this. Plenty of colours too. I tend to do a top 25 retro Christmas tree decorations and baubles round-up each year, but as yet, I haven’t been able to update it for this year. When I do, I’m pretty sure these will be present. But the range is so deep that I feel like I should give the collection a feature all of its own. (image credit: Florence and Belle)
