Your Christmas table needs this Lidl advent wreath: just €5.99, 28 cm, and decorators back it now

The race to host a standout festive dinner is on, and one quietly stylish centrepiece is rising above noisy trends.

This season’s mood leans natural, tactile and warm, and a low-cost accent from Lidl is catching professional attention for exactly those reasons. A wooden advent wreath with glass tea-light holders, it blends texture, glow and ease. It also lands at a price that nudges even cautious hosts to act before the rush.

Why a €5.99 wreath has decorators talking

Lidl’s advent wreath pairs a rustic wooden ring with four glass tea-light cups, pine cones and seasonal ornaments. At roughly 28 cm across, it drops neatly into the middle of most tables without blocking sightlines or elbow room. It looks considered but not fussy, and the materials feel grounded rather than gimmicky.

The price has been cut from €6.99 to €5.99 until 2 November 2025, with limited volumes.

Designers gravitate to objects that work hard without stealing attention from food, glassware and conversation. This piece earns its keep: it sets a mood, anchors a scheme and needs no elaborate add-ons to feel complete. Its wooden base is certified by the FSC, which signals responsibly sourced timber, a detail hosts value when buying seasonal décor.

Colours that match your mood, not just your plates

The wreath arrives in three finishes: classic red, warm gold or cool silver. That range covers most festive looks, from a cosy cottage feel to a sleek, contemporary table. Red pops against white plates and linen. Gold lifts candlelight and pairs with cream. Silver complements minimalist settings and smoked glass.

What you actually get for the money

The ring’s 28 cm diameter suits tables for four to eight. Four clear glass holders fit standard tea-lights, which cast a soft, even glow. Pine cones add texture, while the wood base keeps the whole piece stable. The look is finished but also open to tweaks, so you can add small touches without overwhelming the design.

Four tea-lights, a solid wood base, real cones and compact dimensions make this a low-effort, high-impact centrepiece.

Buyers can order up to 10 units per household, which helps those dressing long trestles for larger gatherings. Home delivery is offered within France, with timings shown at checkout. Returns are free for 30 days if it doesn’t suit your space.

How to style it in minutes

• Lay a neutral runner in cotton or linen to ground the centre.
• Set the wreath centrally; keep a 30–40 cm clear zone to avoid crowding plates.
• Use unscented tea-lights at dinner so aromas don’t fight the food.
• Balance the wood with bright whites and fine glass to keep the look light.
• Limit extra ornaments; echo the wreath’s colour in two or three small accents only.

Personal touches that don’t cost extra

A few easy additions lift the look without turning it into a craft project. Dried orange slices thread on twine add colour and scent. A jute ribbon loops around the ring for texture. Small name tags tied to the glass holders double as place markers. Snipped fir tips tucked under the base add volume and fragrance.

Vary height by perching the wreath on a simple wooden board or a marble trivet. If your table is narrow, move the wreath to a console between courses and let it glow near the tree. For weeknights, place it on a mantel to keep the ritual going without redressing the table daily.

Stock, delivery and the small print

Lidl lists this as a limited run, which reflects demand in previous years. The €5.99 price runs until 2 November 2025, product reference 100394050001. Order caps sit at 10 units per address. Delivery is to French home addresses with standard fees shown online. Returns are accepted within 30 days, which suits those testing colours against existing tableware or paint.

Limited quantities and a dated promo window suggest moving early if you want a specific colour finish.

If your table is longer than two metres, consider two wreaths spaced evenly rather than one oversized piece. This keeps sightlines open and spreads light more evenly across place settings.

Safety, sustainability and smart swaps

Candles and cloth mix well on camera but need care in real life. Keep tea-lights inside the glass holders and at least 10 cm from foliage or ribbon. Trim any added greenery short of the flames. Never leave the candles burning unattended or within reach of children or pets. Switch to LED tea-lights for all-night ambience or for parties that spill into games and dancing.

The FSC certification on the wood matters for buyers watching their environmental impact. When the season closes, remove wax residue with gentle heat, wipe the glass cups and box the wreath in tissue. Stored flat, it should last for several winters, which lowers cost per use to cents.

Ways to repurpose after Christmas

The ring shape lends itself to seasonal edits. In January, swap pine cones for eucalyptus and pale ribbon for a clean, New Year feel. At Easter, nest pastel eggs and switch to beeswax tea-lights. For summer dinners outdoors, use citronella tea-lights and add sprigs of rosemary.

How it stacks up against pricier centrepieces

Designer centre bowls and multi-candle candelabras can run to three figures and need careful storage. This wreath offers an entry point at €5.99, still with real materials and the warm flicker that makes dinners feel intimate. It arrives ready to use, needs no tools, and continues to work as a mantel accent between gatherings.

Hosts focused on food and timing will appreciate the speed: five minutes from box to table, including lighting the candles. Guests notice the atmosphere first, not the spend. If you’re setting for six to eight and already own white plates and simple glassware, this single buy can pull everything together.

Quick budgeting notes for party planners

For a table of six, combine one wreath (€5.99), a plain cotton runner (€10–€15), and a sleeve of 30 tea-lights (€2–€4). That package covers Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve if you rotate candles. Add dried oranges made at home in the oven to cut décor costs further. The overall spend stays under €25 while delivering a coherent look across three occasions.
