Even
at this time of year
its hard to go into a shop that
hasnt already started its Christmas
display. Almost all of the High
Street shops have started to advertise
the perfect outfit, the perfect
present or the perfect handbag.
I must admit I have begun my to
buy lists.
I do this every year but you can
bet that the list changes every
time I look at it as I always see
something better and better again
as the time draws nearer. I know
for certain that Im going to be
buying some of the fabulous jewellery
thats around at the moment. I really
think jewellery has been so fantastic
this last couple of years and the
colours and designs are particularly
great this year.
I think a really striking necklace
wrapped in tissue and popped into
a beautiful gift box is great to
receive and prices are really good
this season which is great news.
If you have a bigger budget present
to buy then you cant go wrong this
year with a Kathy Van Zeeland handbag.
These seriously fashion-conscious
bags are absolutely the in thing
this Christmas and really are top
of the range for all the fashion
divas out there.
As usually I will be giving the
gift of good skin to at least one
of my friends this year. Im talking
about Liz Earles Naturally Active
Skincare range of course my all
time personal favourite of any range
Ive ever used., Ive bought these
products time and time again for
friends and family who instantly
all become converts and devotees.
Ill be making up my famous beauty
hampers that my sisters look forward
to. But an absolutely definite present
that tops my list to buy are the
Viper Ice Diamond Hair Straighteners
that we have at the moment. Beautiful
gold straighteners with Swarovski
crystal embellishments in gorgeous
Christmas presentation packaging
they are a must for luxury lovers.
Take a look; honestly youll fall
in love with them! Or if you really
want to go mad and spoil her rotten
Corioliss Crystal Hair Straightener
I always like to include some Breast
Cancer Care products as stocking
fillers each year I think Christmas
is a time of year to really count
your blessing so hopefully you might
consider doing the same, take at
look at our current Beauty
News column for ideas which
support this very special campaign.
We have several very crafty people
in our family and we love to make
our own Christmas cards to each
other I still havent come up
with a design for mine this year
but Id better get a move on as
I do have an incredibly large family!
My best friend and I will be continuing
our tradition of buying each other
a special tree ornament each year
I love taking them out every year
and thinking of all the years we
have been friends. Ive seen a really
sexy black glittered bauble for
her this year but I must say, I
may have to treat myself to one
too as I just love it! If youre
feeling the pinch this year why
not agree to start this tradition
yourself it doesnt cost so much
and the joy each year of seeing
your collection is priceless.
One of the things Im really looking
forward to this year is the myself
gift. I know it sounds strange but
every year my partner and I buy
ourselves a Christmas present. We
both love buying gifts for others
and for each other, but we also
buy something that we really, really
want for ourselves. We dont open
the packaging at all, we wrap it
up and put it in the wardrobe until
after Christmas lunch when we have
some time to ourselves and then
we open our myself gift and know
were going to love it. His is always
some gadget or other for either
the computer or home recording studio
and mine is almost always a fabulous
beauty hamper from either LOccitane,
Liz Earle, Decleor or Molton Brown.
We set ourselves a price limit so
that it doesnt get too ridiculous
its a quirky tradition but we
love it!
I know its early but keep an eye
on our future promotions as well
have lots of our Christmas favorites
plus plenty of new ideas for you
in the coming months.
