If you’re having guests over the festive season then it’s a great excuse to change up your old glassware. New glasses can be an expensive investment, so try to think about what you really need. Champagne flutes are lovely, but a bit extravagant if you only use them twice a year. You’ll need to find space in the cupboard for them, as well! A lot of delicate glassware either won’t fit in the dishwasher or isn’t dishwasher-safe, so take that into account when purchasing. We’ve put together some ideas to suit all budgets, whether you love traditional simplicity or festive colour. Here’s what we’ve found.

This ‘blow the budget’ set comprises four 60s inspired glasses in wide geometric stripes in cool blues and shades of lavender.
