Hi London Mums
Our Christmas Party was great and got us all in the festive spirit. London looks amazing this time of the year with all the illuminated Christmas trees, decorated shops, the quirky street markets and all the temporary installations that London offers us every year. London Mums have prepared Christmas features covering trends in home fashion, decorations as well as Christmas gifts.
Unsurprisingly a recent study commissioned by the Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association (LIMA) has revealed that Britain’s favourite toy brands are Barbie and Lego. The research showed that global brands Lego and Barbie dominate both in the UK and abroad, as the brands celebrate their 65th and 55th birthdays respectively, demonstrating the longevity of these iconic brands.
London Mums went on the hunt for Christmas Decorations Ideas and Trends for 2014. Here are our discoveries. Let us know if you agree and what your favourite trend is for this Christmas.
