Price Points: New Year’s Eve bubbly

Selection of New Year's Eve bubbly | H is for Home

What are you doing on New Year’s Eve? We’ll be having a quiet one at home, probably watching a film and then maybe Jools Holland’s Hootenanny on the box. We’ll be enjoying a bottle or two of New Year’s Eve bubbly listening to the fireworks going off around the neighbourhood.

We can heartily recommend all the bottles featured below – we’ve personally tested them ourselves! Who needs to spend hundreds of pounds on Cristal Champagne and the like? These are excellent value and taste great!

Christmas gifts of the day: 2017 calendars

Selection of 2017 calendars | H is for Home

Whether you need a little desk calendar just for your own work appointments or a jumbo wall calendar for all the family to jot down all their activities we’ve found some 2017 calendars for you!

We keep our calendar just inside our front door on a thin bit of wall above where we hang our keys. We tend to choose ones with flora or fauna illustrations by indie artists such as this one we had a few years ago by Gail Kelly.

We’re just off to order ourselves the Matt Sewell birds calendar – we already have some of his illustrated books – and this will be just the right fit for our narrow little space!
