(I hope I've posted it in the right section) I 've been following the HGP for the last few years and I absolutely love it - it works really well for my family, and I tend to thrive when I have a clear, organised approach to anything. However, this year I still haven't started! As a family...

I live in the West Mids - visit B'ham loads

I bought some stocking fillers for my dds today - novelty stationary. Also bought dds a backpack/pull along luggage THING that they'll use for our holiday early in 2019.

I never have to think about gathering cleaning equipment - dh gets it all for free. Our house is overflowing with antibac spray o_O

So glad I found this thread! This morning I was doing the 'list' part of week 1 on HGP. Need to start earlier this year as I'm now home educating my dcs; less free time to go through the plan!

Ahhh, my husband loves Cracker Barrel; unfortunately it's too far away for us to visit - we live in the UK! You American folks are lucky when it comes to celebrating fall/autumn/Halloween - nobody here really cares about it.

where did you buy it from?

My kids each have a Christmas themed fleece throw which is usually draped over the back of an old wooden rocking chair we have. We have wintery cushion covers tha t are switched over in November.

Thanks PamelaG, I'll check them out

I've got a wooden trug that I occasionally use to put smaller presents in and then place it under the tree, rather than a scattering of gifts around the base.

I seen a picture of somebody using jars etc to display a mixture of water/floating candles/holly. Wish I could find the pic! simple yet pretty.

My kids usually bring in a hoard of pinecones- sometimes they paint them with glitter glue, most often they're chucked around the house o_O Sometimes i cut some sprigs of holly and put them in a clear vase.

no lol, but I'd love recommendations!

I've stolen those for my own pinboard lol. Some years I buy an advent candle, but never really bother with candles and such. I'd love to, but I share my home with two clumsy children and a exceptionally clumsy man-child... Do fake battery operated candles count?

They're hung on the mantle piece, and magically move to the foot of our beds by Christmas morning.

I use fish wire across the beams by our living room door and hang the cards over it.

Nothing in our garden, although this year I'm determined to do something. Even if its just fairy lights marking the pathway.

I 'd love to be able to switch curtains for buffalo check or similar.

some good ideas, I agree, they're very enthusiastic lol. Yeah, adding/swapping items is a good idea. I may be able to fit in a plant or two, I wonder if poinsettias would be ok

Kitchen gets decorated with small items. I seen a picture on Pinterest of gift ribbon wrapped around cabinet doors that looked lovely. Not sure how long theyd last with steam etc.
