Nothing quite celebrates the arrival of the festive season than seeing kaleidoscopic baubles appear in boutique shops and department stores. There are plenty of fantastic creations this year to bring some celebratory cheer to the end of a tumultuous year.
Tom Martin
If you are looking for artisanal baubles, the number one place you should visit is Tom Martin’s website. Each bauble is painstakingly hand-painted using a 400-year-old Chinese craft of inside painting. The process involves hand-painting, in reverse, on the inside surface of the glass using tiny hooked paintbrushes lowered in through a small hole at the top of each globe. He has created the official bauble of Claridge’s Hotel and Annabel’s nightclub. Designs including snow-laden forests and The Snowman have been impressing audiences across the globe, as they are sold in over 20 countries on 5 continents.
Selfridges
It is all about sustainability with their Christmas decorations this year as they’ve unveiled the largest sustainable collection ever sold. This is in keeping with their ongoing, Project Earth initiative aimed at changing the way we shop. They’ve stocked decorations from the likes of Felt So Good which focuses on using eco-friendly materials and supporting Fairtrade. And they’ve also commissioned pieces to celebrate the multitude of gift ideas on offer at this ever-popular department store.

Graham and Green
For those who want to avoid a mishmash of bauble decorations, this family-run homeware brand has helpfully curated a 2020 baubles trend guide. They include kitsch, celestial, whimsical menagerie, Christmas past, and island paradise, so you just need to focus on your personal preference. With the likes of a beaded skull and glass chilli, I am personally voting for kitsch.
