The expert team at Dobbies has put together four themes for 2023, complete with stunning trees, showstopping decorations and baubles, and stylish home accessories to suit every taste. Dobbies Garden Centres’ Senior Christmas Buyer, Lynsey Abbott, commented: “This Christmas, our themes are here to inspire you to have fun with festivities and celebrate the season with things that bring you joy. Whether you’re looking to give your traditional Christmas a modern upgrade, throw a sparkling soiree to remember, or embrace the outdoors with on-trend natural interiors, our Christmas collections offer something for everyone. “We’ve worked had to ensure our 2023 offering is inclusive so great value options sit at the heart of all four themes to ensure no matter your budget, you can achieve the Christmas style of your dreams. “Christmas Wonder and Classic Luxe showcase Dobbies’ range of classic Christmas decorations, each with a unique twist to complement a variety of interior styles. “At Dobbies, celebrating nature is important, and our Cosy Christmas theme blends natural elements with layers of terracotta and sage green to bring the outside in while maintaining a warm overall vibe. “My personal favourite this year is Mystical Winter as the unique combination of icy blue, deep navy and rose gold brings an unexpected warmth to this frosty theme. “While the Christmas tree remains an important tradition for many homes, this year we’ll see other elements shine just as bright, with captivating tablescapes, unique wreaths, festive houseplants, and showstopping accessories helping to create a magical Christmas.”
