Has anyone bought the Lego Autumn Cottage Garden to display for autumn? 🍁 I’m really tempted by this one for the season ahead — I love all the little autumn details and colours.
If you have it, what did you think of the build and how does it look on display? I’d also love to see how you’ve styled or displayed yours!
Does anyone have a favourite Christmas scented candle they’d recommend? I’m looking for those classic festive scents — pine/fir, or orange and cinnamon/spices.
I had my eye on this Jo Malone Pine & Eucalyptus candle last year, but despite the price it was already sold out by the end of November! 😅
Would love to know what you buy every Christmas, or any hidden gems I should look out for this year.
Cosy Christmas puzzles
Does anyone else love doing puzzles around Christmas?
I’ve made it a habit of getting out a few games and Christmas activities around the holiday season, and this year I want to get a few themed puzzles for autumn and Christmas/winter. I find puzzles are such a fun activity to enjoy as a family around this time of year.
I’ve been looking at these Galison ones for this year. Has anyone done them? And what are your favourite Christmas/winter puzzles? Would love some recommendations! I’m also collecting ideas for future blog posts.

Just found this adorable 100-piece Grinch Christmas puzzle for only €6.29!
It looks like such a fun little holiday activity to do with the family in December.
Has anyone else found any great Christmas puzzles? I’d love some recommendations—especially festive ones from Ravensburger, Schmidt, or other quality brands!
Did anyone purchase this Lego Christmas tree last year? I loved it but didn’t get the courage to spend that much…. But it’s still haunting me 🤭
I’ve been thinking about starting a collection of high-quality Christmas mugs to use throughout the holiday season. Dunoon is currently at the top of my list—they’re absolutely beautiful.
Does anyone here collect them? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the quality and whether you have any favorite designs.
I’d also love recommendations for other brands that make beautiful, high-quality Christmas mugs!
The new LEGO Advent Calendars are out already… is anyone else ridiculously excited? 😅🎄
They’ve become one of those traditions I genuinely look forward to every year. There’s just something nice about opening one small build each day during December. It makes the countdown to Christmas feel a bit more special.
I’m curious—does anyone else here make the Advent Calendars part of their Christmas tradition? Which one are you planning to get this year, or which theme do you wish LEGO would make next?
I know it may sound early to some, but I’ve started taking advantage of the summer sales to pick up a few Christmas treasures while they’re available (and often at much better prices!).
I love spreading purchases throughout the year. It makes December feel less stressful and gives me time to find pieces I’ll truly enjoy for years to come.
This year I’ve been looking for heirloom decorations, Advent surprises, beautiful children’s books, LEGO sets, ornaments, and a few festive home items that I know will become part of our family traditions.
What about you?
Have you already started your Christmas shopping?
What have you found so far?
Do you shop the summer sales, or do you prefer waiting until autumn?
I’d love to see everyone’s finds—whether it’s a special ornament, a cozy decoration, a gift you’ve tucked away, or something that simply made you think, “That’s perfect for Christmas!”
Christmas Planning 2026 🎄
Has anyone else started their Christmas shopping yet?
A few ornaments that have been on my wishlist just went on sale, so I decided to start early. I love collecting heirloom pieces rather than buying lots of disposable decorations.
Some of the brands I'm looking at are Maileg, Georg Jensen, Fabelab, Dunoon (their Christmas mugs), Swarovski stars, and even some Lego Christmas Gift with Purchase sets. I also found a Grinch puzzle that I'm saving for the holiday season at a great price.
I've been starting my Christmas shopping in July for the past couple of years, and it's honestly saved me quite a bit of money. It also lets me enjoy the build-up to Christmas instead of rushing to buy everything in December.
Does anyone else do this? I'd love to hear what heirloom-quality brands or Christmas traditions you recommend investing in.
Hi Ladies! Anyone ordered the Avelina blouse ? I ordered the black one a few years ago in black and it felt too small so a returned it, but I really love the style. I am ussualy a 36/38 in Sezane and it was too tight around the arms. Has anyone recently ordered it? Did anyone need to size up? On the website they say to take your usual size….
Did anyone get the Sézane Will Jacket in olive linen?
I saw it as I was walking out the store in Paris and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It looks very light weight and perfect to throw over casual outfits in summer. But my question is does it wrinkle and loose its form after a while? …. How does it look once it’s worn in… and after the wash… any thoughts ?
Did any of you order the Marisol silk scarf from Sézane?
I’ve been tempted by it but I’m wondering how versatile it is in real life.
Do you find yourself wearing it often? Any thoughts on the quality, colors, or styling ideas?
I’d love to know how you style it — around the neck, in the hair, on a bag, with knits/blazers, etc. ✨
