November has been all about Christmas. We shared a guide to tasteful tablescaping at Christmas dinner that makes more than the pigs in blankets look appetising. 

We looked at Little Women as the ultimate affordable Christmas decor for a rustic home and offered affordable products that fit the vibe. We also gave you a guide to the best budget baubles on the market this year.

But we can’t be solely to blame for the C word being used before its time. Homebase released their real firs at the end of last month, now available at The Range Superstores across the UK. Brands like John Lewis and Desenio were happy to do this too with festive collections dropping was early as September. 

The Christmas Content Continues

We were excited to see new trends emerge that we’ve never seen before like Gothic Christmas. Who knew that you could like vampires and all things merry and bright?

The festive trends don’t stop there. One we’re excited to talk about this week is the floral Christmas tree. We’ll be looking at how they came to be and what you can do a similar look on a tight budget. 

A new Dear Chey letter has been submitted asking for Christmas tree tips (literally). More on that will follow this month.

Love & Lethargy

Did you know that it’s Jane Austen’s 250th birthday this month? On the 16th December, we’ll be celebrating the milestone with a shopping guide around the ultimate romance movie, Pride & Prejudice. 

It’s not Broke in Tweed if we don’t tackle the hot topics. I’m making an argument for the Big Light’s comeback in 2026 and addressing the internet’s ‘is having a boyfriend embarrassing?’ discussion through the interiors lens. Because we’ve definitely grown tired of relationships with negative equity. But how do they affect our beloved homes? I’m curious to know. And know we will.
