Gearing up for the festive season has never been easier when the treasures from Shoeless Joe start arriving. We've been trying not to go full Christmas mode just yet, we're trying to enjoy spooky season and wait for Halloween to be over first. But, it's hard when we're getting so many glorious deliveries of festive season delights! So we thought we'd take you through a few of our favourite Shoeless Joe decorations because they really are worth showing off - they're so special. And hopefully it can inspire you for when the tree decorating begins.

The fun stuff - novelty decorations

If there is one thing that Shoeless Joe know how to get right, it's creating novelty decorations that are full of charm and character. In their world, Santa gets up to all sorts of activities every year and we love it! This year there are also some fabulous other decorations such as a seagull carrying a fish-shaped gift, cute rabbits, plenty of robins and even a sheep.

Intricately designed decorations for sentiment

We've already said how charming we find Shoeless Joe decorations to be. Some in the form of fun like the ones you've just seen, others in a sort of timeless design that feels nostalgic and somehow sentimental. Take their tin hearts, for example. They're popular every year and we think it's for this exact reason. And this year we've got a new robin decoration with that lovely saying: "robins appear when loved ones are near". A lovely little trinket for someone who might be missing a special person this festive season.

Shoeless Joe: not just for decs!

This year we've branched out from just decorations from Shoeless Joe. Their nibble bowls and serving board were just too cute to resist, as we're sure you agree. So of course we had to get them in.

Well, there we have it. We think it's safe to say that the Christmas content has well and truly begun whether we like it or not, because next week it will be November (what?!) and we will be posting the first of our gift guides. So keep a look out for that if you're keen to start your shopping but need some inspiration! Watch this space...
