Hosting over the festive period can be a daunting task. In between cooking tasty treats, decorating your home and making sure you’ve made enough coffees to go around, entertaining guests can feel more like work than play.
But hosting doesn’t need to be difficult. From time-saving slow cookers to handy blenders and that all-important Christmas room décor inspiration, Life & Style have put together some top tips to help your event run smoothly. Who knows, you might even find yourself offering to host again next year.
Christmas Room Décor Ideas
Whether you’re inviting friends or family members over, picking the perfect Christmas room décor will help transform your event and set the mood. No matter your taste, George have plenty of different options to give your home a special seasonal touch.
Why not spruce up your space with a stylishly arranged Christmas ornament? From glittery deer and elegant stars to classic Christmas motifs, placing an ornament on a bookshelf or mantelpiece can create a lovely festive focal point for guests to admire.
Or, to add some comfort, try our cosy Christmas cushions. Coming in a variety of designs, including sophisticated silver and classic red, cushions are a pocket-friendly way of updating your décor for
different occasions.
Convenient Coffee Machines
With the winter weather making socialising outside difficult, equipping your home for guests becomes all the more important. One of the best ways to make sure you’re prepared for visitors (and for the cold) is to invest in a coffee machine. You’ll have no trouble pleasing chilly invitees with the offer of
a warm drink.
For a sleek look, try one of our Tassimo coffee machines. With adjustable settings and easy to clean features, you’ll be ready to create creamy cappuccinos, luxury lattes and even hot chocolates at the drop of a hat.
Time-Saving Slow Cookers
When you’ve got guests coming over, it can be tricky to strike the right balance between socialising and keeping an eye on the food you’ve prepared. A slow cooker can help solve this hosting challenge, as you’ll be able to relax with your guests while the appliance does all the hard work.
For large groups of hungry visitors, try our Morphy Richards 6.5L slow cooker. Coming in stylish stainless steel, this appliance will allow you to dish up generous portions for friends and family with half the effort.
Brilliant Blenders
Casual buffet-style events are a fun alternative to sit-down meals over the Christmas period. Our hand blenders are perfect for creating different dips to accompany crisps and carrot sticks. Not only can they be neatly stored inside cupboards, but the detachable blades make cleaning up after your event even easier.
To give your dips a lovely festive touch, why not serve them in our seasonal tableware? Choose from one of our stylish Christmas designs and your guests won’t be able to resist coming back for seconds with presentation this good.
