Whether it’s outlandish Advent calendars or unexpected food creations (Sainsbury’s mince pie wrap … we’re looking at you), it feels like Christmas gets more and more bonkers every year. Baubles are no exception, with everything from the quirky to the mundane being turned into a trinket to hang on the tree.
So to help you cut through the noise, we’ve rounded up some of the silliest, funnest and most original decorations to deck the halls with, from a paddle-boarding Santa to a tin of Quality Street (and don’t worry – they’re all glitter-free).
