The best Christmas tree decorations are the ones worth adding to your collection of old favourites.
From classical busts in eye-watering colours to spaceships, a lobster dinner, a camper van with a tree on top and champagne bottles. Karaoke fans? There is even a microphone. With Christmas decorations being generally over the top this year, there's never been a better time to go kitsch. Go on, you know you want to….
Astrological motifs, rockets, star signs and now spaceships, it seems we would rather be somewhere else than here right now. A great little retro spaceship to adorn your tree
