Antique style world map
Styled in the form of an antique world map, with its aged look, this piece thankfully won’t set you back an antique price to buy.
It’s a poster and it’s available from Play.com for only £3.99.
You could use it as it is, or pop it in a nice frame. Either way, it’s a bit of a bargain.

Clever basket liner
This doesn’t look like much, but it’s quite a good idea. The white waffle basket lining, from The White Company, is designed to go inside baskets, so any odd bits of wicker or basket material don’t stick into the things you put inside the basket, such as clothes or toys.
It’s being sold as a liner for laundry or washing baskets, but you could use it for any basket that you feel could do with a lining.
The pure cotton waffle liner, which is designed to be snag-free, is suitable for a basket measuring up to 64cm by 35cm and is currently half price, at only £8, from The White Company.

Vintage Lolita chandelier
Bombay Duck is one of my favourite shops and I love exploring all the new door handles, hooks and other gorgeous homeware that they’ve got in stock.
They’re renowned for having lovely chandeliers, although usually they’re a bit far out of my budget. But then this beauty caught my eye.
The bestselling vintage Lolita black chandelier, with crystal flowers, has been significantly reduced in price – down from £245 to £125. It’s adorned with tiny black beads, crystal cut flowers and crystal pendants and would look stunning hung from the ceiling.
I’m sorely tempted. What do you think?

Salt and pepper set
These little beauties caught our eye on the Lakeland website, where the’re reduced in the sale.
The shiny nickel-plated apple and pear, which come on presented on a lovely leaf, look like they’re simply decorative pieces.
But in fact they serve a practical purpose as a cruet set, or salt and pepper.
The salt and pepper is dispensed from the apple and pear from a plastic stopper at the top and they’d look great on your dining table, or given as a special gift.
The set of three pieces is now only £9.99 from Lakeland.

If you’ve been eyeing up any items at the Cath Kidston store, then today is the day to buy them, as you can take advantage of a 15% discount.
The offer is only valid today and you need to enter the code “XMGG” at the website checkout in order to get your shopping discount.
We rather like this set of four coloured china bowls (£18), which would be perfect to use for mixing bowls, and the multicoloured crochet egg cosy (£4.50), but there are lots more great home products, plus Christmas gift ideas, to browse through.

Enamel pie dish
This traditional enamel bakeware is just like my Granny used to use and reminds me of freshly baked pies and crumbly pastry.
You don’t see enamel bakeware so often these days, but a new, very reasonably priced range is now available from Lakeland.
They’ve got oblong pie dishes ranging in size from 16cm (£1.99) to 26cm (£3.99), plus other useful pieces, such as an enamel pie plate (£2.99) and a round roaster (£9.99).
Best of all, all of the traditional enamel bakeware is currently on a 3 for 2 offer, saving you even more money.

Ornate classic mirror
This lovely classically styled ornate silver mirror would look lovely above your mantlepiece or in a bedroom.
It has a solid wood frame with baroque style detailing, which is finished with silver, and a bevelled mirror. It can be hung either horizontally or vertically, which offers lots of possibilities.
The mirror looks well crafted and expensive, but we were amazed that it’s actually available from Sainsbury’s. Best of all the price has currently been reduced by 20%, so it’s now only £48.

Laura Ashley Kimono wallpaper
Bargain alert!
We spotted this neutral coloured Kimono wallpaper on the Laura Ashley website – and it’s reduced down to only £10 a roll! Considering it started out at £26 a roll, that’s a great discount and could save you money if you’re thinking of wallpapering a wall or two.
They officially describe the colour as ‘linen’. As it’s so nice and neutral, with a floral pattern that isn’t overpowering, we think it would be ideal for anyone who likes the idea of wallpaper, but doesn’t want to go overboard with colour.
If you fancy seeing this Kimono design wallpaper on your walls, then you can purchase it online from Laura Ashley.
If bigger, bolder florals are more your style, then check out this post on Fresh Design Blog, which looks at the top 10 contemporary floral wallpapers.
