Christmas is the most wonderful time of year, but you don’t need to spend a fortune or usher in a truckload of plastic-laden ornaments to fill your home with cheer and merriment – if you shop at Big W. That’s because this year, over half of Big W’s Christmas collection is priced at $5 or below and 25% of the core seasonal range was designed with zero plastic (save for the glue and adhesive tape). They’ve even made sure that all of their decorations are 100% glitter free.
John Loader, head of commercial, everyday and celebrations at Big W says the team wanted to make Christmas special for every Australian family. “This year our Christmas collections offer trend-led pieces at great value.”
Big W’s Christmas Decorating Themes
This year, there are four Christmas styles to choose from:
- Classic refresh: An Australian twist on classic Christmas decorating
- Seasonal simplicity: For those who love a timeless Christmas decor scheme, featuring earthy tones and wooden ornaments
- Nordic Yuletide: A collection featuring grey, copper and white tones
- Mystical Merriment: Jewel tones, enchanting and whimsical ornaments the whole family will love.
