Decorating the exterior of your home for Christmas is great, but it's also a faff. Tangles of wires stretching to their limits to find the nearest plug? It's not easy. And a common pain point with trying to do something neat like frame your front door is that you’re often left with reels of leftover lights.

To solve this problem, Cox & Cox have launched this clever Front Door Light Kit for just £40. It’s the ideal length to frame most front doors, so you won’t be left with wires that you are forced to try and hide underneath a window or behind a potted plant.

It offers an easy solution to adding festive flair to your garden lighting without going overboard and lighting up your whole home. What’s also great about this kit is that it can be used both indoors and outdoors. So, if you live in an apartment and don’t have an exterior front door to decorate, you can still use this stylish lighting kit on internal doors, too.
