Ah, the festive season.. it’s well and truly here! In Team TLB, we’re absolutely buzzing with excitement. There’s something so special about this time of year—whether it’s decorating our homes, wandering through the twinkly local light trails, crafting wreaths, or snuggling up with our favourite Christmas film. We can’t get enough of all the cosy, Christmassy vibes.

One of our favourite parts of the season is finding the perfect gifts for our loved ones. We know how tricky it can be, especially when the December days and nights get so busy. That’s why we’ve made it easier for you! We’ve asked the team to share their favourite gift ideas from our curated range of houseplants and homewares, so you can tick off your gift list in no time.

So, grab a cuppa and enjoy this little bit of festive inspiration. Let’s make this Christmas extra special!
