With Christmas Day almost upon us, many in the UK have ticked off the major tasks: presents are bought, the turkey is ordered, and the tree has been up since the start of December. Yet, a crucial element for the perfect festive celebration often remains overlooked—the final decorative flourishes and practical essentials for hosting.
The Last-Minute Christmas Lifeline
Thankfully, high-street and online homeware giant Dunelm is stepping in as a saviour for forgetful hosts. The retailer is currently offering a crucial last-minute delivery option for those racing against the clock. To guarantee your order arrives in time for the 25th, you simply need to select standard delivery and place your order by December 19th.
Dunelm's extensive range caters to nearly every festive need, from creating stunning table settings and providing extra bedding for guests to supplying additional crockery, serving platters, and even those final forgotten gifts. It’s a one-stop shop for pulling your Christmas day together seamlessly.
Top Picks for Festive Function and Style
To help navigate the vast selection, here are some standout products that combine style with seasonal practicality.
Frankie Velvet Compact Dressing Table Set at £349 offers a chic vanity solution, perfect for tidying up or for the beauty enthusiast, mirroring viral styles from other retailers but at a more accessible price point.
For hosting crowds, the Olney Compact Kitchen Larder Unit (£379) provides vital extra storage for festive food and drink, while the Jackson Natural Flatweave Foldable Sofabed (£299) is an ideal space-saving bed for visiting relatives.
When it comes to decor, the 160cm LED Copper Berry Garland (£27) offers versatile sparkle for tables or mantels.

Thinking Ahead to the New Year

And for those planning New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Large Disco Ball Ice Bucket (£35) doubles as a fabulous party centrepiece.
Don’t forget the finishing touches: the Santa Pass the Parcel game (£5) promises family fun, and the 12m Wine Tartan Wrapping Paper (£3) ensures no gift goes uncovered.
