Boozy Baubles
What could be more Christmassy than a pretty bauble filled with warm mulled wine, I ask you? Or even a delicious Christmas cocktail. We love these brilliant, bauble shaped glasses – each one comes with a cute candy cane-esque striped straw and a pretty hessian bow as a festive finishing touch. An injection of instant festive cheer!


A Pair of Festive Bauble Glasses are £9.99 from Culture Vulture.
