After popping in to the Hema in London Euston last week, I fell in love with the fun, vibrant, summer vibe of the store! As I was only in for a quick look before my train, I picked up a few bits I needed, which you can check out in my youtube haul below. However, I definitely could have bought so much more, so I thought I'd do a Hema wish list for you all to get some inspiration for the summer ahead!
My favourite range by far is the Party range; from foil & confetti balloons to pineapple poms and watermelon confetti cannons - It's all so cute! Whether you're throwing a summer BBQ or a birthday party for some friends, there's a decoration for every occasion that guarantees to wow your guests. My top picks are pictured above, I particularly like the light up 'PARTY' letters, they just seem a little nicer than the latest craze; light boxes, now that B&M are selling them they have become a bit more mainstream! There is every letter in the alphabet available, at 20cm tall and only £5 each, you can buy several letters for the price of 1 or 2 from a higher end store. You can even decorate them with paint/tape/stickers etc as you can see over on the website here!
I also absolutely adore Hema's update of the classic paper plate - It's not just kids with the fun party sets these days guys! - You'll be spoilt for choice, from the watermelon set to the gold and white Kate Spade esq set, simple but gorgeous! Shop the collections here!
Finally, a party is not a party without something hanging from the ceiling! These paper poms are so colourful and really effective alongside bunting or lanterns - both of which you can also find on the Hema website. I love the fact that you can get ice cream shaped ones! All we need now is the sunshine!?
Oh unless of course you are one of the lucky ones who is jetting off to guaranteed rays - then you NEED one of these;
I mean, the pineapple rings sell themselves, but just imagine all the basic brits on their flamingos and donut inflatables (so last year right!?) and you float past on a caramel stroopwafel or even a cream slice! What's that famous saying? - In a world full of donuts be a caramel waffle! Shop all inflatables here!
There is such a variety of bits and pieces over on the Hema website. I'm so excited to have discovered a new budget brand that can be my 'go to' for; celebrations & birthdays, stationary, storage solutions, seasonal homeware updates and beauty bargains!
As there is so much to cover, I thought I'd split this out in to a few blog posts and cover another wish list category another time, the stationary is so beautiful, that might have to be next, so look out for that!
In the mean time, please let me know if you pick up any great finds or even have shopped the brand for years and are thinking 'how is she only on this now!?' Let me know what you buy in Hema in the comments below!
Happy Browsing,

I love how you're loving this! I'm dutch and I think this is the most signature dutch brand we have. Every little town and big city has a Hema (which is pronounced as Héma the first part sounding like 'hey'). The stroopwafel and cream slice are signature dutch treats. We call the cream slice a Tompouce (Which sounds like 'Tom push', sort of). Great brand, so nice you like it!
