There is something rather special about Christmas at Feather & Twigs. Perhaps it's the warm glow of candlelight, the beauty of natural materials, the excitement of discovering something a little different, or simply the pleasure of creating a home that feels welcoming, personal and full of character.
As we unveil our Christmas Preview Collection for 2026, we are celebrating what we have always believed in: beautifully considered design, traditional craftsmanship, independent makers and decorations that bring joy long after the festivities are over.
This year, our collection moves away from mass-produced Christmas trends and towards something more individual. Think antique brass, hand-finished details, delicate ceramics, natural textures, rich woodland colours and beautiful pieces that can become part of your family's Christmas traditions.
Because at Feather & Twigs, we believe Christmas should reflect your personality, not simply what's fashionable.
We have always loved products with a story. Pieces that demonstrate the skill of their makers, the imagination of their designers and the beauty of materials chosen with care.
Our 2026 collection brings together distinctive designs from brands including Garden Trading, Nkuku, St Eval and Sophie Allport, each offering something different.
Rather than filling your home with decorations that will be forgotten by January, we encourage choosing fewer, more meaningful pieces that can be enjoyed year after year.
One of our favourite looks this Christmas is the understated elegance of antique brass. Its warm, mellow finish works beautifully alongside evergreen foliage, natural linen, rich burgundy and candlelight.
The Hinksey Hand-Hammered Christmas Star Tree Topper from Garden Trading is a perfect example. Its textured antique brass finish brings a wonderful artisanal feel to the Christmas tree, creating a focal point without overpowering the decorations around it.
We also love the Manya Metal Bell Baubles by Nkuku, a set of three beautiful brass decorations that offer an alternative to traditional glass baubles. Their delicate shapes and warm metallic tones introduce character and a little nostalgic charm.
For something equally distinctive, the Cromwell Christmas Tree Candle Holders, available in two sizes, combine sculptural design with the warmth of candlelight.
These are the kinds of decorations that don't need replacing every year. They become familiar favourites, brought out each Christmas with the same sense of anticipation.
Christmas isn't just about how our homes look. It's about how they make us feel.
The gentle flicker of a candle, the scent of warming spices and the soft glow of a winter evening all contribute to that wonderful sense of comfort and belonging.
Our seasonal selection from St Eval captures this beautifully.
The Orange & Cinnamon Scented Candles and Tealights bring together classic festive fragrance notes, while the Winter Thyme Candle offers a fresh, herbal alternative to traditional Christmas scents.
We also love the rich colour of St Eval's red and woodland green dinner candles. Styled with antique brass candleholders, evergreen foliage and simple ceramics, they create a Christmas table that feels both elegant and relaxed.
It's these little details that transform an ordinary evening into something memorable.
Not everything at Christmas needs to be traditional. Sometimes it's the unexpected little characters that make us smile.
Our Handmade Felt Angelica Mouse Decoration is a wonderful example. Crafted using traditional needle-felting techniques and sustainable felt, she brings personality, humour and a little whimsy to the Christmas tree.
Alongside our felt Christmas reindeer, these charming decorations celebrate the skill and imagination behind handmade gifts.
We particularly love decorations like these because they appeal to all generations and often become treasured family favourites.
Nature has always been a source of inspiration at Feather & Twigs, and Christmas is no exception.
The beautifully illustrated Sophie Allport Robin Collection brings the British countryside into the heart of festive celebrations. From the olive green Christmas Robin Table Runner to coordinating fabric placemats, these pieces create a welcoming setting for family gatherings.
We love combining countryside-inspired textiles with natural foliage, candlelight and understated tableware.
The beauty of these designs is that they needn't be packed away immediately after Christmas. Their wildlife inspiration and classic colours make them a lovely addition to country-style homes throughout winter.
For us, Christmas shopping should be a pleasure, not simply another task to tick off the list.
As an independent retailer in Croston, Lancashire, we spend time choosing products that offer something different from the high street. We look for originality, quality, craftsmanship and brands whose designs have a genuine sense of character.
We are particularly drawn to products that celebrate skilled makers, thoughtful materials and traditional techniques.
Not everything in our collection is handmade, but every piece is chosen with the same attention to detail and the belief that beautiful things should bring lasting enjoyment.
When you shop with an independent business, you're also supporting the people who carefully curate those collections, champion distinctive designers and help keep our local communities vibrant.
And that matters to us enormously.
Perhaps the most meaningful change we can make to our Christmas traditions is to think differently about what we buy.
A hand-finished brass decoration, a beautifully illustrated textile, a hand-poured candle or a lovingly felted Christmas character can bring far more pleasure than a box of decorations chosen simply to follow a trend.
At Feather & Twigs, our approach is simple: choose things you love, celebrate craftsmanship and create a home that tells your own story.
As we prepare for an exciting new chapter with our move to larger premises in Croston in the New Year, this Christmas feels particularly special. It is an opportunity to celebrate everything that makes Feather & Twigs different and to share our love of beautiful homes, thoughtful gifts and seasonal living.
We hope our Christmas Preview Collection inspires you to create a festive home filled with warmth, individuality and a little unexpected magic.
Explore our Christmas 2026 Preview Collection and discover something a little different this festive season.
With love from Feather & Twigs, Croston.
Beautiful Homes. Thoughtful Gifts. Seasonal Living.
There is something wonderfully comforting about nature. The sound of birdsong on a quiet morning, the sight of a hare darting across a field, the first flowers of spring or the changing colours of autumn. These simple moments have a remarkable ability to lift our spirits, calm our minds and remind us to appreciate the world around us.
At Feather & Twigs, we believe that connection with nature sh...
Making Local our First port of Call
There is something special about living in a community where you can walk down the street and find independent shops, cafés and businesses run by people you know.
They bring character to our villages and towns. They create jobs, support local events, champion other small businesses and give our high streets an identity that simply cannot be replicated online or by large national chains.
But if we want ...
There are times when running an independent business feels busy, and then there are times when everything seems to happen at once.
At Feather & Twigs, we are currently very much in the latter.
On any normal day, there is already plenty happening behind the scenes. We have our existing shop to run, customers to look after, deliveries arriving, stock to unpack and displays to refresh. Alongside that ...
