6 Christmas Hacks You Have To Use This Christmas

Sometimes it can be hard to make your own personal Christmas stand out, but these ten Christmas hacks will help you make sure that your holiday is not only special but also has something a little different as well.

Use Two Different Sizes Of Fairy Lights

You’d be surprised how much putting two sets of different sized lights on your tree can make it pop in ways you didn’t realise! It’s a subtle change that can make quite the difference when trying to make your Christmas tree look as festive as possible.

You can find all sorts of fairy lights at your local B&M store.

Use Chalkboard Tape To Spice Up Your Party Plates

While it may be something you’ve never really thought about, dinner plates can end up looking rather boring, especially if you have guests over during the festive season and put out some nibbles for everyone. To easily give the plates something a little extra, throw some chalkboard tape onto there and then you can write holiday messages underneath the food that are easily removed once they need washing.

A Paper Towel Holder Will Keep Your Ribbons Neat And Tidy

One of the all-time worst things about Christmas -and there aren’t many- is how easy it is for the various wrappings you need for presents to get into an almighty mess. One way of preventing this is to use a paper towel holder to keep your ribbons neat and tidy by slotting each individual roll onto it, leaving you with a tower of easily identifiable ribbons in a neat order. Genius!

Candy Canes Make Cute Placeholders

By using hot glue, you can place two unwrapped candy canes together and then add on a third. Throw a ribbon round the top and you’ve got yourself a cute placeholder for when the family come over for their Christmas feast!

Use Fruit To Make Holiday Ice Cubes

By putting fruit juice into your ice cube bags or trays you can put an easy twist on the humble ice cube. We suggest Christmas fruits such as cranberries, but feel free to experiment with both the fruit and the liquid mixture! You can find ice cube bags at your local B&M store.

Coat Hangers Make Fairy Light Storage Easy

This one is more for when Christmas wraps up and you have to start putting everything away for next year, but a coat hanger is a perfect way of keeping your fairy lights untangled for a year in storage. Just wrap the lights around it nice and tight! Browse coat hangers at your local B&M store.
