The best festive decor is not packed away for eleven months of the year. Concrete homeware works well at Christmas because it can be styled seasonally, then kept in use afterwards.
Use concrete as a neutral base
Concrete pairs well with evergreen foliage, candles, linen napkins, dried oranges and warm metallics. It keeps a festive table from feeling too shiny or disposable.
Coasters for hosting
A set of concrete coasters is useful during Christmas visits and still useful in January. That makes them a good gift for hosts, neighbours and hard-to-buy-for relatives.
Planters for winter greenery
Small concrete planters work with mini trees, succulents, herbs and cut greenery. Keep watering sensible and protect surfaces as you would with any indoor plant display.
Choose gifts that last beyond the season
A handmade concrete gift feels festive when wrapped well, but it is not limited to Christmas colours or novelty shapes. That is exactly why it keeps being used.
