Sometimes Hygge sounds expensive. Blankets, cushions, candles, food. While you can spend a lot on Hygge, it's not essential. A lot of sites give links to expensive shops with jumpers that cost £100+, throws that cost £25+ and candles for £15+. However candles can come for as little as £1, throws for £12 and jumpers for £10. Supermarkets, discount shops and even charity shops can be a good place to find things at an affordable price. After all, expensive things kind of defeats the purpose of Hygge.
Charity shops have improved tremendously over the past 10 years. Clean, good quality clothing and homeware alongside everything else. Supermarkets often include homeware in their stock and shops like Primark in the UK sell good quality products for low prices. Here a some examples of doing Hygge on a budget.
Throws
Feel free to shop around, especially at your supermarket but Primark sell a selection of throws. Get a new fleecy throw for as little as £12
Slippers
Boot slippers are warm, comfy and an alternative to thick socks when achieving Hygge. Again many supermarkets stock them but for UK readers. £5 at Primark
Candles
No link here as many are seasonal but most supermarkets stock tea lights at least. While scented candles aren't popular with the Danes, they are not unhygge. There are generic scents but also seasonal ones around Christmas.
Jumpers
Charity shops, supermarkets, Primark even January sales. They are many ways to get a decent jumper on a budget. Christmas jumpers can sometimes be pricey so if you want one, hit the sales. Keep it as part of your winter wardrobe.
These are just examples, it's good to shop around and never write off your supermarket. Wherever you shop, most if not all of them tend to stock blankets, candles and clothes. Also charity shops are worth a look at least. So if you don't want to follow other links to expensive Hygge items go to your local shops and wrap yourself in discount Hygge, the very best kind.
