This silly season, we’re taking taking tips from Bonang Matheba, SA’s favourite party girl. Start by getting the atmosphere right – think fairylights and candles – and go big on the little things, like gorgeous glassware.

Keep food and drinks simple and fuss-free (but plentiful), so you have enough time to pull your party look together before the guests arrive. Oh, and speaking of guests – you’ll need a few Secret Santa ideas up your sleeve over the coming weeks. Find great Christmas gifts at Woolies for under R100, under R200 and even under R50!
