As we approach the mid-way mark in November, there’s no denying that Christmas is around the corner! This means Christmas shopping. To make your life a little easier, we’ve put together a short gift guide that highlights to beautiful gifts available at your local garden centre. We also have trees, lights, decorations, advent calendars, cards and gift wrap – Avant Home and Garden Centre is your one-stop Christmas shop!

Why not call in on your lunch break or day off to box off the shopping then grab coffee and cake in our Cafe Gallery?

We have a range of warming winter and traditional festive scents in stock from Stoneglow. Their candles, diffusers and room sprays smell truly delicious – these particular ranges smell like the Christmas holidays packed into a bottle/jar! The perfect scent for creating lifelong memories with your family. A particular favourite is the cinnamon and orange candle – a dream on cosy, winter evenings spent under blankets.

Hannah Dale’s signature watercolours translate beautifully into these gorgeous Wrendale scarves. Pictured is the gorgeous ‘Some Bunny’ scarf but we also have a range of her other works including the popular ‘Bee’ scarf. These super soft scarves are big enough to be worn wrapped around the shoulders or traditionally around the neck to keep toasty and warm.

Another beautiful watercolour design by Hannah Dale, this collection of fine bone china mugs makes for perfect stocking fillers if you know an animal lover! With everything from sloths and hamsters to specific dog breeds available, there’s something for everyone. Gift packs of two mugs are available.

If you prefer to use a wax burner rather than scented candles, these delicious smelling wax bars from On a Wick & a Prayer are perfect! With several gorgeous scents available in the festive range, these make the perfect stocking filler for a loved one (or yourself!).

Working at Avant Home and Garden Centre all year round, we know how the elements can take their toll on your hands in the winter! We are stocking these adorable ‘Mini Hand Care Kits’ from The Somerset Toiletry Company this year to help you moisturise those mitts. These are perfect stocking fillers or gifts for teachers.

We also have their vanilla scented ‘Let it Snow’ handwash which comes in an adorable snowman container to brighten up the sink this festive season.

That’s all for now! There are hundreds more gift options available in store or on our brand new online shop (click here). For more product recommendations and festive cheer, ‘like’ our page on Facebook here.
