Christmas decorations deals

If you go into an M&S* store, you can get a Christmas tree, baubles and lights in a bundle for £24.50 (was £35), until Wed 26 Dec while stocks last. 

M&S has told us the bundle includes a 6ft artificial Christmas tree, three packs of colour-themed baubles (12 decorative shatterproof baubles, 35 mini shatterproof baubles and 16 'tonal' shatterproof baubles) and 100 warm white LED battery lights. The bundle is available in different colour schemes, eg, red, multi-coloured etc.

We've found that if you bought the same or similar items individually, it would cost at least £26.60, though some bits have sold out online – so you can only get the full bundle in stores (subject to stock):

• 6ft evergreen tree* - £10.50
• 64 pack of shatterproof baubles* - £9.10
• 100 warm white mains lights* - £7 SOLD OUT ONLINE
   

We can’t guarantee what’ll be available in the store you visit, so it might be worth calling and checking ahead before making a special trip.

If you're not able to get this bundle or don't live near an M&S, see our Christmas Decorations page for other cheap decorations.

If you go online to John Lewis* or into a store, you can get 30% off Christmas decorations and accessories, including trees, tinsel, lights and crackers. Delivery's £3.50 or £2 if you click and collect in store (find your nearest*). 

Some strong discounts we spotted online on Fri 14 Dec:

• Gold glass baubles, tube of 20* - £5 (was £10)
• Luxury Christmas crackers, pack of 12* - £10 (were £20)
• 6ft artificial Christmas tree* - £39.50 (was £79)
   

When we checked on Thu 27 Dec, there were still around 250 items listed on the John Lewis Christmas offers page, with many items now boosted to 50% off.

If you go online to John Lewis, you'll find its Christmas offers*, including a selection of decorations. Delivery's £3.50 or £2 if you click and collect in store (find your nearest*). 

John Lewis doesn't give the sale a percentage discount online, but when we checked on Tue 19 Dec, we found discounts boosted to up to 50% off. Examples of strong discounts we found online:

• 60 LED holly Christmas lights* - £10 (was £20)
• Chocolat advent calendar* - £12.50 (was £25)
• Sophia Spruce Christmas tree, 7ft* - £100 (was £200)

Will more items be added and is it likely to boost further?

When we checked on Tue 12 Dec, there were over 100 items listed on John Lewis' Christmas offers page at up to 30% off, but only the packs of crackers and a few decorations were discounted. By Tue 19 Dec, 275 items were listed, with many decorations discounted at up to 50% off.

We expect John Lewis may still add more items to the sale in the run up to Christmas, but last year we didn't see reductions greater than 50% off, which we expect to be the case again, so it's worth acting now if you have your eye on something
