Because there really is no place like home…
Undeniably, we’ve all spent more time at home this year than we had originally planned.
With a ‘stay at home’ message rolled out by the Government earlier in the year, this has inarguably played a large part in our lives during 2020.
Your home has no doubt been multifunctional this year, with many being turned into make-shift gyms, date-night venues and an office space (demonstrated by the new working from home culture).
The team here at Visit Newbury have provided a list below of recommended local products, in the aim of giving back to your home this year to make your space work better for you.Front Door Wreath and Christmas Flowers
Dress your front door with this Merry Berry Door Wreath from Willow and Blooms this Christmas. Look forward to walking home after your daily essential exercise, and bring Christmas cheer to the rest of your street with this festive door decor. Additionally, bring nature indoors with this gorgeous Christmas Sweetie Jar, providing that extra festive-glam to your living (or working) space alongside your Christmas tree.
