Moz

Depending on your views towards the ex-Smiths frontman, the Morrissey Christmas sweater by Viva Moz is probably the greatest of worst festive garment you've ever seen.

Sub-titled the 'Vulgar Sweater', this old school indie take on the classic Christmas sweater has our Moz staring out from a dark green sweater with winter detailing, that sweater knitted from a vegan-friendly acrylic.

Good for men or women, sold with a free 'tacky badge' and available for Christmas delivery if you order by the end of play Sunday, it sells for £35.

These Dig In crackers from Jamie Oliver's online collection are very thoughtfully put together. From the retro type on the box to the simple brown paper, they are definitely a cracker of the classier variety.

The gifts inside sound rather good too, no useless teeny packs of playing cards here, instead the crackers hold nifty kitchen gadgets and garden tools that you will actually want to use and keep. You also get a kitchen or garden related tip or quip rather than a joke you have heard countless times before.

The crackers are priced at £15.00 for a box of six, buy them here.

Xmas-decoration-space-invader

All the customary Christmas tinsel and paper garlands leaving you a bit cold? Seletti have got some great alternative retro-themed Christmas tree decorations. 

The ceramic decorations represent objects drawn from many different decades. Proving those space invaders get just about everywhere, pictured is the version you can get to hang on your tree. There's a 1950s-esque sailor style tattoo heart available as well while you can also buy your very own mini version of Robert Indiana's famous 'Love', originally made in 1964. Finally, there's a decoration honouring everyone's favourite piece of obsolete technology, the humble cassette tape. 

Perhaps not what you'd immediately associate with Christmas but some fun objects nonetheless, the decorations cost £7.99 each. 

Buy them from the Pussy Home Boutique website

These classic Christmas decorations from ReFound Objects will transport many readers back to their childhood, however these decorations are more beautiful than the garish versions I remember.

These paper decorations have a lovely sculptural quality to them, so much so that it would be tempting to keep them up all year round. There is a great choice of three sizes in each shape and with a choice of a classic bell or ball shape and loads of colours to choose from. 

The smallest size starts at £3.50 which seems very reasonable. Buy online at ReFound Objects.

Over at our Modculture site, we've been busy getting ready for Christmas, hunting down a few festive tunes that aren't Band Aid, Paul McCartney or Slade. In fact, we've found enough to produce a top five soulful Christmas albums article.

Yes, there are five albums packed with soul, funk and old school R&B grooves and what's more, most of them don't cost very much to buy or download. So ditched the 'Christmas number ones' and go for something a bit more hip on December 25th.

Check out the article to find out what made the cut.
