Bits and Baubles

Following a wintry weekend of mulled wine, mince pies and the X Factor final, we decided to take the ultimate festive plunge and put up our Christmas tree.

They say pleasures are greatest in anticipation and when it comes to Christmas this is definitely true. Unwrapping our treasured angel, laughing over homemade decorations and wrapping the cats in tinsel has made us even more excited for Santa stopping by.

An annual tradition in the Highland Angel household is to buy a new decoration for our collection every year. We've been searching the web for ideas and here are our top five:

1. Champagne Glass Heart, £3.50 from John Lewis.

2. Dog Bauble, £15, from AIGA.

3. Little London, £45, from Bombki (also available in New York and Paris).

4. Russian Dolls, £15, from Lula Handmade.

5. Tin Soldier, £9, from Chantal Devenport Designs.
