Christmas decor shop with me 2025

Watch the last vlog //    • Discovering our new city in Portugal | Set...  

Come Christmas decor shopping with me in Porto. Stay to the end to see the hauls and unboxing. We went to Porto to get our first Christmas tree and I knew El Corte Inglés department store was going to be the place to find it. We spent about 2 hours browsing this Christmas decor section. It's magical.
We also went to Zara Home and IKEA to look at all their Christmas decor options. We of course always stop at the IKEA food department to get the iconic IKEA Swedish meatballs.
I also unpack all our Christmas decor finds from both El Corte Inglés and IKEA as well as an order from Mel Living https://www.mel-living.com/ which I can highly recommend. We also went to JYSK to find some last minute decor pieces. At the very end of the video I show you the IKEA lights I found with the most beautiful soft glow for this cold season. They are dotted around our apartment at night and really have been one of my favourite IKEA purchases.
