Christmas

From October we have a spectacular Christmas department with decorations for the tree, all around the home and some great gift ideas, with more themes than ever before for 2025.

The Journey through our Winter Wonderland…..

“Golden Traditions” has traditional decorations, Santas, ornate baubles and tree toppers in rich reds, golds and greens along with lots of robins, crystal and glass decorations.  There are even nostalgic Angel Chimes plus lots of advent candles and calendars.

“Retro Pop” is an eclectic mix which shows anything goes at Christmas!  We have fun ceramic vegetables with faces and Christmas hats, decorations to cover hobbies and interests and dragons, dinosaurs and unicorns as well as cute felted folk!  Thaxters’ famous animated Father Christmas sits reading his book in this fun section amongst the many animated characters and we even have reindeer racing!

“Woodland Tales” has delightful felted creatures nestling amongst the mossy tree trunks. There are fairies, flowers, acorns and mushrooms along with bright berries, holly and ivy.

“Paradise Bloom” with its rich tones of tropical blues, purples, pinks, lime and gold has birds and flowers and an amazing tree that has been decorated to look like a peacock.

“Winter Glow” is a much more natural display in neutral tones of white, beige and cream with a hint of soft pink and green and warm twinkling lights.

For our smaller themes “Alpine Folk” is based around beautiful folk art illustrations on wooden, ceramic and tin ornaments, “Farmyard Friends” has all your farmyard favourites in decoration form and “Highland Moos” is full of highland cows of all shapes and sizes!

We have new designs and colours in our ever-popular LED lit baubles and for the first time the spectacular Paper Starlights which can be used all year round as lampshades or just decorations.

This year we have a bigger than ever display of lit and musical villages and animated scenes to give you lots of ideas for creating your own scenes at home using snow and smaller decorations.  You will find a great selection of indoor and outdoor lights, lit characters, glitter spinners, lanterns, infinity mirrors, candle arches and new lit stained-glass decorations as well as artificial trees.

For those that like to make their own decorations, arrangements and displays there are plenty of garlands, wreaths, silk flowers and picks.  Decorated garlands, wreathes and table centres are also available and tableware, candle holders and candles to add that finishing touch.

Under the canopy we have a selection of lit reindeer, trees, obelisks and blinking characters all suitable for display outside and many different lights, lit stars and snowflakes suitable for the outside of the house.  There are decorative metal stakes and ornaments for the garden too.

You will find wonderful gifts ideas – cushions and throws, ornaments, books, candles, stationery, puzzles and games, plus dog treats, toys and beds for your furry friends!  Gorgeous scarves, gloves, hats and socks to keep you warm this winter. Our gift food range includes decorative tins of biscuits, cakes, preserves and chutneys and lots of other delicious treats!  We have gardening gifts and décor, tools, bird food and feeders and lots of great stocking fillers too.

Thaxters Winter Wonderland, provides an enjoyable, local shopping experience for all your decoration and gift requirements, in a relaxing environment, and free parking too!  Real Christmas trees and wreaths, seasonal houseplants and planted arrangements arrive late November.

And outdoors we will be having our full-size singing reindeer too!

 

 

We are renowned for our quality Christmas Trees. From the last week in November we receive our trees from our UK based grower. We only buy the best grade trees so you can be sure to find that perfect tree.

We Stock:

Nordman Fir which are renowned for there long lasting needle retention and by far the most popular Christmas tree available. It has soft glossy dark green needles and has a lovely symmetrical shape with strong branches.

Fraser Fir has branches that turn slightly upward. They have a slimmer form to the  Nordman but also have good needle-retention. They are dark blue-green in colour and have a lovely Christmas scent.

Norway Spruce is the traditional Christmas tree which can be found in many homes throughout the UK.
The tree features pointed mid-green colour needles. Many people enjoy the scent when taken indoors.

Pot Grown Christmas trees both Nordman and Norway Spruce ranging from 3ft to 4.5ft.
