Nice, but I'm not sure if it's putting me in the Christmas spirit.

[@irmawesterback2930]

I was surpriced not so many and beautiful decorations as last year. Lucky there were Nutcrackers. There was a bit lack of Christmas feeling😢🎄

[@Maca494]

i think last year they were all prettier and more amazing...this year they are going for a kind of victorian vive with the fruits and things like that...and they dont have as many different themes, it seems. my favourite things were th e faux candles to put on the tree and the "candy" section, that seems like a follow up from last year...those dark blue caramel ones were gorgeous. But besides that...what a downer. I've seen cuter things for 2 euros in Tedi here in Spain. yes, low quality and all but...they get you excited for christmas. this is like..oh, mushrooms. thos dioramas are iconic, tho. and the christmas puzzles...gimme XDD thank you for the walk, tho!! gotta go check other videos then :)

[@paulajarman9314]

I feel like F&M is a bit lack luster as well. Still love videos though.

[@alisonlepley666]

Totally agree .Went to Liberty after Steve’s video and the prices were ridiculous !!

[@julesb7707]

Where is the usual F&M Christmas magic? Usually this store can’t be beaten!

[@NancyHooper-i9r]

Lovely video Steve, I agree the Xmas Decoration section is much smaller this year, it just doesn’t have the Wow factor. I hope the windows are decorated as good as previous years.

[@LondonVisited]

I hope so too! You're right kust not quite there this year.... :)

[@crystaldance5731]

Wow thankyou you do some lovely videos it must be a joy to look around so many beautiful things I’d be spoilt for choice and bankrupt ❤️😊👍🏻

[@fitgraphisva]

Loving that you showed the aqua F&M shopping bag ornament that I purchased last year and had shipped across the Pond to me! Hoping more merchandise arrives. It’s still early.

Not as good as last year. Disappointing. Didn't like the fruit tree. Interesting range of food, but like you said a lot of it. Not that wild of many of the decorations, liked the plush,tea,toadstool (?) Delicate ones. Didn't like the toys. Loved their range of cards. Crackers looked beautiful 😍 despite what were in some of them. Loved the advent calenders. Liked the Peacock decorations, like Liberty's. Thought their candles were very pretty. Liked the jigsaw puzzles. Didn't like the glittterville decorations. I did like the plush ones. Liked the nostalgia decorations. I loved the large carved toadstool but don't know what they have to do with Christmas. Not very good, Libertys is still in the lead. Look forward to seeing some more.

[@lgempet2869]

Would love to know the significance of mushrooms/toadstools at Christmas in Great Britain…have seen a lot of that over the years & am really curious. We really just don’t have that specific theme in the US.😊 I place an order from F&M, Harrods &/or Liberty London every year at Christmas!!🎅🏻

[@LondonVisited]

Fantastic, get in early to make sure you have it before Christmas - happy ordering

[@maggieclendenin6740]

We do at my house in Minnesota.

[@lgempet2869]

@@maggieclendenin6740 Wow!! That’s interesting….just not sure of the source of that theme, but kind of wondering.🤷

[@joatkins-linnell2413]

Me too! I think it's just a new trend that came in maybe last year or the year before. 🤔

[@cathybrotman9878]

Thanks for taking us along, I agree with you there seems to be a lot less and less variety of Christmas items. I liked the tea cakes ornaments, my favorite were the 3D paper cards they had some nice ones there! I did like Liberty better so far, better variety, I like the celestial ones from there as well as the astronauts! I’m from South Carolina, USA if you are wondering!

[@maggieclendenin6740]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@daledrake7870]

hi from Australia again, lots of beautiful decorations ,

[@LondonVisited]

Hi there and thanks for watching

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

Fortnum and Masons is about the most beautiful store I have seen in videos and pages. I always love your coverage there. Lots of gorgeous ornaments. I agree with you that the Christmas ornament displays are quite scant this year. They are more organized and placed in neat and clean sections on tables and against the wall. It loses the whole British/English Christmas feel of the 1800s - an icon for England. I did not get the natural whimsy Christmas feel. Sorry, I do not like the cardboard center display this year that replaced the Christmas Plum Puddings last year. Not happy about that - I cannot imagine what it even means. I love the fruit ornaments with the sugared finish on the surfaces. To your point, Steve, they may put more on and work at making it better between now and Christmas. Maybe. LOL Blessings.
