Hello!<\/p>\n

Granted, it’s very early to be wishing each other a Merry Christmas. But is it too early to start getting prepared?<\/p>\n

In truth, many years ago I’d have said starting preparations this early is way too early. But, my mindset has changed completely and I love to get ahead when I can, to help lessen the rush leading up to the big day. And we\u2019ve got a fabulous day coming up this Monday. I’ll get onto that in just a moment.<\/p>\n

I think the earliest gift I\u2019ve bought is eight months in advance. In fact, it was a birthday gift. A little shooting star gold necklace – the perfect present for a very special person. I was so glad I bought it and I popped it to one side. Actually, I hid it in a kitchen cupboard behind our Christmas place mats, a safe spot until the birthday came around. The present was adored, and to this day it’s a real favourite and means so much to us both.<\/p>\n

So, our Christmas event is this coming on Monday 16th August. It’s set to be a really special day!<\/p>\n

It all starts with Debbie at midnight and the fantastic Today\u2019s Special Value offer from Alison Cork.<\/a> Of course, you can catch the launch the evening before on Sunday at 9pm. Alison Cork’s Today’s Special Value offer is the Set of Three Candle Holders with LED Candles Collection.<\/p>\n

The day ahead is glistening and sparkling with wonderful shows and you can catch the full line up with our TV guide.<\/a><\/p>\n

Chloe takes care of the Christmas Morning Show. Somehow, Craig has managed to land himself an hour of Hotel Chocolat<\/a> at 1pm! I wonder if I\u2019m able to sneak into the hour? Andi Peters’ Food Fest is back as well. I\u2019m on at 6pm with Gifts for Family and Friends, then again at 7pm with Deck the Halls. Other shows to watch out for include JM Home by Julien Macdonald<\/a> and Yankee Candles.<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s set to be a magical day. Some of the star products of the day which have caught our attention include the Perfect Present 28 Piece Christmas Giftbag and Tag Collection<\/a>, the Mr Christmas Mercury Glass Kaleidoscope Tree<\/a> and Alison Cork’s Sugar Spruce Christmas Tree.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also love Home Reflections’ Set of 3 Pre-Lit Glass Angels<\/a> and this Festive Pre-Lit Crackle Glass Christmas Character<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do tune in for some festive fun and escapism and keep an eye out for great offers online as well, via the web or QVC App.<\/p>\n

Take care and see you soon.<\/p>\n

Charlie x<\/p>\n
