It’s easy to get swept away when you see all the new seasonal goods in the shops, on your social media, arriving in your inbox. But does it add to your life? Or take away?
Money spent
Time used on buying, using and packing away
Space taken to store
Mental load to manage
Environmental impact to get rid of
Is it worth it?
If you don’t want to give up on seasonal decor, check out your local charity shops - you can save some £ and help reduce waste.
