Festive Inspiration
It’s less than four weeks now until the big event of the year and it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! Festive decorations adorn the shops and Christmas trees are a plenty. This year we couldn’t resist putting our Christmas tree up a little earlier than normal as Imogen loved visiting the Christmas trees in our local John Lewis store and we knew it would be a lot of fun to have one to decorate and admire at home.
So let’s deck the halls with boughs of holly. Here’s some festive inspiration for you and your family from the great range at John Lewis Home.
I love these Le Creuset sets from the John Lewis Cookware range. Bright and colourful stoneware that’s perfect for cooking a family feast and preparing Christmas dinner with.

As the temperature is dropping these Winter Warmers will ensure you stay cosy over the next few months. It’s easy to brighten things up by adding a splash of colour and texture to rooms with the addition of Throws, Blankets and Bedspreads.
If you’re looking to decorate your little one’s bedroom or playroom there’s everything you need in the Children’s Room range with bedding, furniture, storage, curtains, cushions, towels and accessories.
It was around Christmas last year that we bought the John Lewis Classic Table and Chairs for Imogen to use for drawing and playing on. They’re beautifully finished and made from 100% sustainable lacquered rubberwood which is smooth and natural. This set has been used almost daily since we bought it plus there’s still plenty of room for growth.

You and your family will love indulging in a John Lewis Christmas Hamper. Christmas Hampers make perfect gifts, providing tasty treats for everyone and are wonderful for sharing with friends and family over the Christmas holiday. We received a John Lewis Christmas Hamper last year as a present and feasted on its contents for almost a week. It was truly delicious!
Vertbaudet Girl’s Reversible Parka
With the November chill in the air we were very excited when the lovely team at Vertbaudet asked if Imogen would like to try one of their most popular winter coats, the Girl’s Reversible Parka. This is a super warm and stylish coat that will see Imogen snug and cosy throughout winter and into spring next year.
This beautiful padded Vertbaudet winter coat is reversible and showerproof. It has fleecy mittens attached by press studs to keep little fingers toasty and warm when playing outside. Imogen loves the mittens and having them attached to the coat ensures they won’t get lost and are always there to quickly slip on and off when we’re out and about.
The Vertbaudet Girl’s Reversible Parka can be worn both ways with one side displaying little printed hearts and the other side in a plain pearly pink colour. To keep children extra warm the coat is zip fastening with concealed press studs for additional warmth.
I love the style of this Vertbaudet winter coat with an attached hood and elasticated hem for a puffball effect. I have been amazed at the number of compliments Imogen has received when wearing this coat, it is greatly admired for its warmth and style.
There are two side pockets on the front and a little inside pocket where you can put a photo of your child to help them find their coat if they’re at nursery or school. The Vertbaudet Girl’s Reversible Parka is machine washable and available in a variety of colours and sizes.
I am extremely impressed with the quality of the Vertbaudet Girl’s Reversible Parka. It has everything your child needs for going out in the winter months and retails for £35.
