Spotlight is a great place to get affordable Christmas decor and accessories, such as this beautiful table runner that’s sure to elevate your dining table. It measures 36 x 150 cm.
Christmas decor is a lot about lights and brightening up a space. This one features fairylights encased in a beautiful dome, which you can set as a centrepiece, or on the buffet side table.

Another way to light up the buffet spread – this battery-operated Christmas tree that’s crafted from blown glass. Available in five different sizes.
A placemat prevents spills and scratches from ending up on your tabletop. This one adds Yuletide cheer and doesn’t cost a bomb.
Instead of regular tissue paper, indulge your guests with napkins that double up a decor pieces.
How adorable are these cutlery stockings? Instead of laying cutlery beside the dinner plate, put them in these little holders. Sure you may only use it once a year, but they’re sure to delight both kids and adults and are great conversation starters.
If you’re feeling a little fancy, napkin rings are an easy, effortless way to luxe up your table setting. These contemporary pieces put the “Merry” in “Merry Christmas”.
Potpourri is a foolproof way of ushering in a festive mood. This one has a subtle scent of frankincense and myrrh, classic home fragrances that provide a cosy atmosphere. Pepper the dining table with it, or place in a glass bowl.

Keep it subtle with a star-shaped napkin holder, which you can use even after the festivities are over.

For fuss-free dining, this set of four placemats and coasters add a merry touch to your dining table.
