1. Luxury Red Bauble with Gold Swags
“Dress your tree in opulence this winter with this stunning flocked glass bauble – a deep and velvety red bauble with a soft, luxurious texture…”
Dimensions: 8cm
Materials: Glass, Flocked Fabric
Colours: Red and gold
Price: £5.99
Why we love this bauble…
With its brilliant ruby-red surface, this bauble has become an instant hit with us at The Olde Christmas Shoppe. Classic Christmas colours come together in this luxury bauble, with plenty of sparkle in the thin golden lines of the decorative swags and a smooth yet surprising velour texture to add a little something different to any Christmas tree.
2. Burgundy Glass Bauble with Flocked Lines
“Embrace elegance this Christmas season with this gorgeous wine-red glass bauble (10cm), flocked with horizontal bands of rich burgundy fabric…”
Dimensions: 10cm
Materials: Glass, flocked fabric
Colours: Red
Price: £6.99
Why we love this bauble…
This is one of our all-time favourite baubles in The Olde Christmas Shoppe for many reasons; not least, the stunning burgundy red of the stained glass globe beneath the velvety-smooth flocked lines that capture it. Slightly larger than most baubles at 10cm wide, these red baubles add a little more dimension to your Christmas display as stand-out pieces, with a modest amount of shimmering red glitter in delicate lines to add just a little festive sparkle to this already elegant decoration.
3. Dazzling Red with Gold Glitter Snowflake
“This ruby red bauble is a delightful addition to your Christmas collection… all topped off with a silver diamante to really reflect those magical Christmas lights!“
Dimensions: 8cm
Materials: Glass
Colours: Red and gold
Price: £5.99
Why we love this bauble…
Again the classic combination of red and gold appears on our list; the perfect complimentary Christmas colours that fit well among most decor styles. This bauble is particularly stunning with its mercury-spotted scarlet base and glittery snowflake embellishment on either side, with a pale gold colour adding just the right amount of sparkle to be both understated and eye-catching – dazzling is certainly the word for these traditional yet modern red baubles!
4. Red Bauble with Gold Glitter Flower
“Say “fabulous and festive” with this magnificent crimson-red glitter bauble, covered with a number of antique-style gold glitter flowers.”
Dimensions: 8cm
Materials: Glass, glitter
Colours: Red and gold
Price: £5.99
Why we love this bauble…
Of all of our wonderful red baubles, this little traditional-style gem best shows us why all things are better with a little – or a lot – of sparkle! This very funky geometric bauble is covered all over in thick and gleaming red glitter beautifully accented with the golden beaded floral patterns; if you love shiny things just as much as us then this is the perfect bauble for you.
5. Postbox with Robin Hanging Decoration
“This beautiful British post box with a beautiful robin couldn’t get any more festive – in traditional festive red with added hints of crisp white snow, this classic Christmas decoration will look fantastic on any tree.”
Dimensions: 12cm
Materials: Ceramic
Colours: Red, black, white
Price: £8.99
Why we love this bauble…
There’s just something fabulously festive and nostalgic about seeing the classic British red postbox: a symbol that brings back memories of walking through the snow all bundled up in scarves to post your letters to old Saint Nick in time for Christmas. With muted festive colours, snowy accents and the cutest little robin perched on top, this traditional decoration gives any tree a timeless feel and could even be the perfect gift for lovers of all things Christmas!
6. Red and Pink Ombre Sphere Bauble
“Brighten your branches with a fierce pop of colour this Christmas season … with an added eye-catching iridescent sheen to tie together this striking decoration.”
Dimensions: 8cm
Materials: Glass
Colours: Red, orange, pink
Price: £5.99
Why we love this bauble…
This decoration is something a little different from our traditional red baubles, with a fading ombre-effect of warm reds, oranges and pinks all melted together in one bright and colourful bauble! These mesmerising colours aren’t often seen together in Christmas displays, but we think this bauble would be the perfect tree filler for a dazzling rainbow theme – complete with a shimmering iridescent coating and swirls to add a little bit of extra texture to this unique piece.
7. Red Shiny Bauble with Glitter Holly Spiral
“Capture some divine festive sparkle with the lacquered effect on this ravishing red bauble by the talented Gisela Graham…”
Dimensions: 8cm
Materials: Glass
Colours: Red, gold and green
Price: £5.99
Why we love this bauble…
We just ADORE this classic Christmas decoration for lots of reasons, but most of all because it’s so beautifully bright and sparkling! A reflective lacquered surface and finely painted glitter vines combine with ruby-red diamantes to catch and make the most of our fairy lights, and the fabulously festive holly leaf pattern adds an extra pop of colour to this traditional yet trendy red bauble.
8. Matt Red Glass Bauble with Cherry Glitter Band
“Christmas red with a generous band of sequins & glitter, designed by Gisela Graham to catch light beautifully…”
Dimensions: 8cm
Materials: Glass, sequin
Colours: Red
Price: £5.99
Why we love this bauble…
This is one of our more understated red baubles that would make the perfect tree filler for any red or traditional Christmas display. Don’t get it twisted, though; despite the monotone colours, this cherry red bauble is far from being the wallflower! With a thick and delightful band of glittery red sequins, this bauble doesn’t need bells and whistles to stand out on your tree – it has all the sparkle and elegance that it needs to stand on its own as one of our top red baubles.
