Have you ever been into a Homesense store? It’s like a toy shop for adults. I have spent many hours oohing and ahhing and just generally drooling in there since my local store opened and I’ve found some real treasures. You can find everything from baking goods to home furnishings to toys and of course at the moment the most beautiful festive finds.

I generally spend most of my time in the candle, food or book aisles but we recent updated our bathroom with some gorgeous new bits and bobs too! I was even in the store on the day I was admitted to hospital with labour pains:

I heart candles!

The lovely people at Homesense have put together a really simple 10 tip guide to the perfect Christmas table in under 10 minutes. I’m definitely using some of these tip especially number 6!

If you haven’t finished your shopping yet or just want to pretty up your dining table for the big day I recommend you head there ASAP – with 28 stores across the UK hopefully there will be one local to you but be prepared you may become hooked like me.
