Christmas wreath from Balsam Hill



I had a lovely surprise email from Balsam Hill  asking if I would like to receive a 24" Norway Spruce Christmas Wreath in exchange for a review on my blog. I was delighted and of course said yes. This is the wreath once we had decorated it with a large gold bow, small orange baubles and gold parcels. We tied them on using green garden wire so that the fixings don't show.


This is the wreath before we decorated it. As you can see it is beautiful quality and much thicker than any others I have seen for sale. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use too. The lights are battery powered and the power block is easily hidden underneath the wreath whilst still being easily accessible. It comes with 6 spare bulbs and a tool for changing them so it should last for many years.  


Here it is in our dining room in place of one of the pictures that usually hangs there. We don't use the main light when we eat, just a lamp so having the wreath lit too is really lovely and festive.

Once lit it stays on for 6 hours and then goes off for 18 hours unless you manually switch it off. I absolutely love it and am very lucky to have it. They have a sale on at the moment so hop over to their website and check out all the other lovely goodies for sale especially the Christmas trees, which I would love to have.

Looking forward to visiting my good friend Lynsey and her family today and going out for lunch.
