In this video I’m doing Christmas DIYs, but in a proper real-life way—more vlog style, fitted in around a London day. I pop into town, have a little browse (Poundland, Sam’s Pound, and a quick charity shop look), and I’m leaning into that big “Ralph Lauren Christmas” trend… just with a luxury-on-a-budget mindset. Think navy, tartan ribbon, silver bits, and using what you’ve already got at home wherever you can. Once I’m back, I give myself an hour and get cracking with three quick DIYs: a stack of “books” painted navy with a little vintage-style card and tartan ribbon, a framed gift-bag print (honestly such an easy way to make cheap “art” look intentional), and a silver tray wreath with greenery and a bow. The next morning I show you how I style it all—hanging the tray wreath in the kitchen, creating a festive corner with the framed piece and book stack, and then building a simple table moment using charity shop linens, pine cones, a wreath, and candlelight. I also bring out my Ralph Lauren holiday candle and teapot for that classic cosy vibe—because it’s all about making your home feel expensive without spending like it is.
