Christmas Hacks
Do you want your Christmas to run smoother than ever? I've put together my favourite festive hacks to save you time, stress, and even a few scratches!
Wrapping & Prep Hacks
Ironing Board Hack
Set up your ironing board at a comfortable height to avoid back ache while wrapping. It makes the perfect adjustable wrapping station!
Fake Tree Tip
Pop on rubber gloves when fluffing your fake tree to protect your arms from scratches.
Wrapping Storage
Use a wrapping storage bag to keep paper, scissors, tags, and ribbons all in one place. Use toilet paper tubes to stop rolls from unravelling!
Sharpen Scissors
Cut through kitchen foil to clean blades and remove burs, improving your scissors' performance for all those gifts.
Festive Home Hacks
Smells Like Christmas
Seal cards in a bag with cotton balls dipped in peppermint or evergreen oils overnight. They'll smell festive for up to two weeks!
Glitter Cleanup
Use an old pair of tights over your vacuum nozzle, or rub a balloon on your hair to use static electricity to pick up every sparkle.
The Needle Solution
Forget the vacuum for stray pine needles! Wrap duct tape around your hand (sticky side out) to lift them easily from the carpet.
Silver Polish
Soak silverware in warm water with bicarbonate of soda and salt for 15 minutes, then buff with a lint-free cloth.
Gift & Table Ideas
Sock Wrapped Wine
Pop a bottle in a festive fluffy sock and tie the second sock around the neck like a scarf. Two presents in one!
Family Photo Tags
Use family photos instead of gift tags. It adds a personal touch and makes it easy to see who each gift is for.
Christmas Day Box
Keep a box with batteries, screwdrivers, and bin bags handy so you can open toys and clear mess instantly.
Cork Place Settings
Slit a wine cork along the side and slide in a name card for a quick and sustainable table setting.
