Have yourself a hygge little Christmas…

Hello from Elsie & Fleur, We’re an online boutique for food, garden, gift, home and lifestyle products created with love by crafters, makers and small businesses based in the Westcountry.

This year our Christmas theme is the Danish art of happiness – hygge. It’s all about getting cosy, making yourself snug, embracing cake, chocolate, time with friends and family. The little things and luxuries that make life great and enjoying those happy moments.

Elsie & Fleur was born out of a desire for people to be able to buy often unique items with a range of price options to suit all pockets, from piggy banks to luxe.

Our aim is to provide everyone with the chance to buy often unusual, mostly handmade, yet affordable, items from the comfort of their own homes.

We offer a ‘hygge guarantee’ to customers. There is a no quibble returns policy and we handle our customer liaison and order fulfilment in-house too. Our suppliers include food producers, card makers, illustrators, sewing geniuses, workers with felt, crafters who make things from driftwood, glass workers and potters.

On the front cover is a pyrography Christmas tree decoration (other designs also available) H7.5cm. £3.50 or three for £8.99.

As Britain has lost much of its home manufacturing industry, we appreciate our makers may source some of the materials they use for their products in other countries. But all the items stocked on our website have been conceived and designed, if not made, in this country.

You can find us by visiting:

www.elsieandfleur.co.uk.

Our Christmas stock will be available online from October 10, 2016.

Thank you for taking the time to flick through our Christmas 2016 look book and we wish you all the very best for the Yuletide and beyond!

The gift wrap on this page is £2 per sheet or £5.50 for three.

How to dress your Christmas tree When it comes to dressing your Christmas tree there is an art to making it look good.

This design will allow the eye to travel naturally. Keep standing back to check the overall effect and proportions.

Whether you have a real or artificial tree, you should always start out by fluffing the branches to make it look as full as possible.

Decorations can be grouped in threes. Bows and ribbons are just as attention grabbing as baubles.

Keep decorating until the tree is full and add special ornaments or decorations to finish things off.

Then think about your theme or colour scheme. Put the lights on first and make sure they are plugged in and switched on.

No space for a traditional Christmas tree? We’ve got lots of small options available including some made of glass, driftwood and felt.

When placing your decorations on the tree, start with one type of bauble and hang the decorations in a zig-zag pattern.

Get guest ready It is important to make sure your visitors are going to enjoy their stay as much as possible.

Give the room they will be staying in a deep clean. Pull the covers back off the bed and air out the mattress too.

Re-make the bed with crisp, freshly laundered linen and ensure you provide an extra blanket and pillows.

If your guests are staying for a while, empty a few drawers and make space in the wardrobe so they have somewhere to unpack their clothes. If young children will be using the room, childproof it and make sure any electrical sockets are covered.

Provide magazines and books, which your guests can read if they didn’t bring their own.

Finally, and most importantly for Christmas visitors, place a stocking at the end of the bed so that no one misses out on their pressies when Santa calls.

If you’re going to be a guest at someone’s house, don’t forget to send a ‘thank you’ card when you get back home too.
