3 last minute tips for family Christmas preparations in South West London

1. Get Christmas dinner sorted at Randalls Buthcers on Wandsworth Bridge Road
For a second year in a row I’ve pre-ordered everything we need for the festive season from Randalls Butchers on Wandsworth Bridge Road, our favourite meat shop specialising in free range and organic meats. Randalls is the perfect place to get Christmas dinner sorted, and despite us following Norwegian Christmas traditions and eating pork belly on the bone for Christmas, we came in with a picture of what we needed and last year ended up with the best Christmas meal we’d ever had. First class service and quality.

2. Find a premium Christmas tree at The Christmas Forest on Lavender Hill
We keep getting compliments from visitors for the large, bushy Christmas tree we received to review from The Christmas Forest on Lavender Hill earlier this Christmas, and friends have been raving about this Christmas tree location too. For anyone who’s yet to get their tree sorted The Christmas Forest is open today.

3. Get a health check at The Smart Clinics in Chelsea
I’m finding it impossible to keep everyone healthy this Christmas, and Baby Boy has so far had both croup and bronchiolitis. It’s clearly not our year, and I feel our only trips outside have been to go to a doctor’s clinic or hospital. I was, however, thrilled to find out private health clinic The Smart Clinics Brompton Cross in Chelsea is open in between Christmas and New Year on 29, 30 and 31 December. Today both The Smart Clinics in Wandsworth and in Brompton Cross are open.

The tree we received from The Christmas Forest to review is now featuring our minionised Christmas baubles from a craft kit we received to celebrate the Minions DVD release
