Just like every September, brands and retailers are starting to drop their collections of Christmas decor – but this year, they’re already selling out of some of their key products. Next’s Christmas shop is one of them – but thus far, it’s still brimming with Next’s large Christmas decorations that combine aesthetics with functionality.
Even though it’s only September, it seems that this year, everybody’s jumping on the Christmas prep bandwagon a little earlier than usual, searching and shopping for Christmas decor ideas. Maybe it’s the sudden turn of weather from warm and summery to autumnal and chilly literally on the 1st September.
Last year, one of the biggest (no pun intended) Christmas decor trends were XL-sized ornaments and decorations like large bows. Next was clearly taking notes as its current Christmas offering is full of large festive decorations, many of which are not only pretty to look at but are also practical – whether it’s a festive door stop, a draught excluder or bow-shaped cushion that’s already sold out in one of the two colourways.
And this is something I love to see – products with a purpose that also look good, the perfect mix! These are my top picks from the XL-sized Christmas offering.

Pink/Green Christmas Velvet Bows Draught Excluder
Who knew that a draught excluder could be so pretty?! Bows are remaining to be one of the biggest Christmas trends for yet another year and I love this statement take on the look.
Next
Bright Christmas Present Doorstop
This little guy is just too adorable I can’t take it! It reminds me of some of the bestselling John Lewis Christmas decorations in the shape of cute smiley desserts like a fondant made from felt.
Next
Black/White 3D Stripe Bow Cushion
Large bow-shaped Christmas decor sells out fast every year. And the fact that the red and white striped colourway of this bow-shaped cushion is already sold out shows that it’s going to be no different this year.
Next
Natural Christmas Gingerbread Doorstop
Who doesn’t love a gingerbread motif at Christmas?! And this gingerbread man-shaped plush doorstop looks almost like the one from Shrek. So cute!
Next
Black/White Plush Bauble Christmas Ornament
Not all of the XL festive decs from Next have a practical purpose. These large plush baubles are pretty much just decorative but you could use them to cover a not-so-pretty Christmas tree stand, fill a corner or use them as sofa cushions.
