Vince's viv is looking a little bare, do you know of any ways to spruce it up a bit? It's a 4ft one

Hobbycraft sell ivy garlands as well as fake flowers, if there isn't a Dunelm near you.

And Pets at Home have a buy 2 get 1 free offer on their aquatic stuff, and also the sandblasted wood.

go out branch collecting most hardwoods are fine. just mind to strip the bark, soak in bleach then clean water and if they fit, stick them on a low heat in the oven for an hour. sand down and then voila!
