So that’s your words of warning. Buy now or be disappointed. With that out of the way, here is the full list to hopefully inspire you to do something a little different this festive season… Best of all, they come as a set of three, which puts them into the better value category of this rundown. Each one is unique and hand-finished and with the kind of kitsch appeal that will create a talking point. In short, there must be something here for you. I have my eye on at least three for our tree this year. And the range keeps on growing.

The Museum of the Home holds an annual winter yard sale, where visitors can buy decorations from local makers. Patten says the popularity of ornaments is also influenced by the practical restrictions of the home being decorated. “Average home size is shrinking, especially for younger people and first-time buyers, so miniature houses are an easy way to look festive without having to rearrange all your furniture. This follows a trend in interest in miniatures which has been rising steadily for the past decade.” Choose from eight different guitars and colours, with each guitar cut and printed onto a hardboard with a gloss finish. Personalised too, so you can have a name printed onto it. This is a mini replica of the kind of record player you might expect to see in a bedroom in the 1960s. Think Dansette or a similar brand. For something so small, there really are some lovely details on this. Plenty of colours too. I tend to do a top 25 retro Christmas tree decorations and baubles round-up each year, but as yet, I haven’t been able to update it for this year. When I do, I’m pretty sure these will be present. But the range is so deep that I feel like I should give the collection a feature all of its own. (image credit: Florence and Belle)

Retro Fairy Lights Teapot by Lydia Leith

Of course, we have flagged up the Primal Scream Screamadelica decoration above, but you can choose from The Pixies and Teenager Fanclub through to Neu!, Lou Reed and Bowie. These handmade designs are great as a gift for a music lover too.

This is actually a choice of three, as you can get both Mario and Yoshi too. But I have decided to go with the controller. It represents an interesting shift in Christmas celebrations. The average UK windowsill is today more likely to be adorned with a candlelit cottage than a nativity scene. A more generic offering, this is a glass bauble that’s perfect for the retro gamer in your life. Or you if you happen to be a fan of arcade machines.

Patten says desire for the comforting and traditional often coincides with periods of social and economic upheaval. “This happened in the 1800s as a result of industrialisation and urbanisation. There was a revival of traditional Christmas customs … seen as a link to the ancient past and a constant that people could cling to in the changing world.”
