I love that the box is reusable, the sleeve comes off so the box can be used for anything you like, it's a really pretty box and great for storage. I am going to store my backup skincare items in mine. 

All the products in the pamper parcel are lovely and they smell beautiful. I think the heel balm and body lotion may be my favourites but all the products are really nice, the pamper parcel gift set is a really lovely gift set and one I think anyone would be lucky to receive this Christmas, and I have some discounted prices for you. 

You can find the Perfect Pamper Parcel on the Sanctuary Spa website HERE for £14.40 (was £18.00) and the Look Fantastic website HERE for £13.50 (was £18.00) and also the Argos website HERE for £15.00 (was £18.00) so the Look Fantastic price is the best I could find with a £4.50 saving.

Sanctuary Spa Slumber Box - Was £30.00 now £15.00

Created to inspire a moment of relaxation this holiday period, the Sanctuary Spa Christmas Slumber Box provides an indulgent pamper in the comfort of home.

Set Contents: 

Sleep Mist 100ml 
An evening spray formulated with a burst of skin-loving ingredients for a dose of nourishment before bed. Spritzing your pillow will release a medley of botanical aromas to uplift the senses as part of your nighttime ritual.

De-Stress Bath Salts 150g
Perfect for a post-workout soak or after-work pamper, the bath salts are designed to immerse the skin in a soothing blend of ingredients. Infused with a relaxing fragrance, the bath salts encourage a moment of me-time after a long day.

De-Stress Warming Body Balm 75ml
A body balm enriched with a blend of moisturising oils to help replenish skin with hydration. The self-heating formula creates comforting sensations when applied to the skin while offering a fragrant infusion of ginger and rosemary oil.

I really struggle to sleep at night and these products have been a joy to use, the sleep mist is lovely and makes not only my pillow but the whole bedroom smell amazing, my partner Simon said it's like going to bed in a spa and he finds it relaxing too. 

I love to use the body balm and then spray my pillow with the sleep mist before bed, I spray my duvet too to be honest, and the bedroom feels and smells really calming and relaxing, these products have really worked with helping me to relax and feel calm whilst in bed, to be honest, they aren't something I would have really looked at before, but now I have been using them, I will definitely repurchase them when I'm running low.

If you would like to buy someone the slumber box this Christmas or if you want to treat yourself (I highly recommend it) then I have found an amazing discount for you. 

You can find the slumber box on the Superdrug website HERE for £15.00 (was £30.00) which is an incredible half price discount, it was originally £30 then £20 and now £15, which is brilliant and a bargain, so much so, I am going to pick one up for myself as a backup. 

Overall Thoughts

I think it's safe to say, I love both these gift sets, I love that the boxes are reusable and so pretty, and the products are all beautiful and smell incredible, the slumber box has been amazing for me in terms of being able to relax more, unfortunately unless a cure for my medical conditions is found, I am never going to be able to fully relax and sleep, but I do feel calmer and more relaxed which is wonderful. 

I think anyone would be happy to receive either of these gift sets this Christmas, and with the cheeky discounts, you'll save some pennies too, whats not to love? Happy shopping!

Sustainable Gift Ideas From SeaForYourselfco

 

Gifted PR Sample - Links NOT Affiliate

Today I have a gift idea with a difference, it's a cutlery and straw set, but it isn't any cutlery and straw set, it's a sustainable cutlery and straw set. Over the last couple of years in our house, we have been much more mindful of our planet and have made some changes to help protect it. It isn't only our household that's trying to do our bit for the planet either, lots of households are trying too, and if we all tried, even a little bit, it would surely make a difference? 

Who Are Sea For Yourself?

SeaForYourselfco is a UK based, female-owned growing sustainable brand creates handcrafted items out of sustainable bamboo to replace single use plastic. Our eco alternatives are non- toxic, BPA-Free, 100% eco-friendly and biodegradable. Bamboo is a sustainable material that grows quickly in China and other parts of Asia making it perfect for our plastic alternative. We also 20p from every purchase is donated to 100 Tons of Plastic, a charity aiming to remove plastic waste from shores and seas while raising awareness about plastic pollution globally.

SeaForYourselfco Bamboo Cutlery Set with Blossom Tree Cotton Pouch - £7.95

The plastic free alternative perfect, for any food on the go!

~ Sustainable  

~ Biodegradable  

~ Recyclable  

~ Compostable 

This Bamboo cutlery set comes with one fork, one knife, one spoon and one cotton carrying bag with a drawstring closure.

Measurements are approximately 20cm long, full pouch is approximately 23cm (L) x 5.5cm (W) x 4cm (D).

Each cutlery and pouch may vary in pattern, colour, shape and size due to these being natural handmade products.

The Bamboo straw set comes with a straw and wire cleaner in a cotton carrying bag with a drawstring closure.

Measurements are approximately 20cm long, full pouch is approximately 23cm (L) x 5.5cm (W) x 4cm (D).

Sustainable - Bamboo

Bamboo is a sustainable material that grows quickly in China and other parts of Asia making it perfect for a plastic alternative.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Packaging 

All Packaging used is made from Kraft paper packaging which can be recycled at most roadsides or compost at home. 

Compostable Cutlery

SeaForYourselfco cutlery is completely biodegradable, so once at the end of their life simply compost or recycle and be sure that your cutlery won’t be floating around our oceans for decades to come.

The cutlery and straw set is really handy and small enough to take out with you if you need to. I really don't like the paper straws that Costa Coffee use as they go soggy and rendered useless after a while, so the bamboo straw is brilliant for popping into my bag, then if I need it, it's there and I can pop it back in the little bag when I've finished with it, and if the bag gets dirty, I pop it in the washing machine. 

The cutlery set is equally as handy to pop into a bag, my daughter sometimes buys her breakfast or lunch out, and 9 times out of 10 she isn't given a spoon for her granola or a fork for salads etc, so the cutlery set is ideal for her to keep in her bag should she need it. Both the straw and cutlery set wash and dry well, the straw comes with it's own little brush to clean it. 

Overall Thoughts

I am really happy with both the cutlery set and straw, they have both come in really handy in the couple of months I have had them, and I know they will do in the future too. I am glad that as a family we are trying to do our best by making more sustainable and eco friendly choices, and using the cutlery set and straw helps with that too. 

SeaForYourselfco also sell the cutlery set and the straw separately and they also sell bamboo toothbrushes if that is something you'd be interested in, and all at affordable prices. 

If you would like to purchase the cutlery and straw set as a stocking filler or gift for someone this Christmas, you can find it on the SeaForYourselfco website here for £7.95, this is a good deal, as the cutlery set alone is £6.95 meaning the straw comes in at only £1.00, whereas if you purchase the straw separately it is £3.50. 

You can find all the products available on the SeaForYourselfco website here, all products are under £10.00.

Have you changed anything in your life to be more eco friendly and sustainable?

I can't believe we are nearing the end of 2021, it still feels like 2019 hasn't ended yet. At this time of year I look for a planner/diary for the coming year, and today I have some lovely ones to share with you that will also make a lovely Christmas gift for someone you love. 

The Every Day Matters 2022 Diary

The Every Day Matters diary for 2022 is a beautiful diary created by Jess Sharp offering you a year of inspiration for the mind, body and spirit. The diary comes in a flexi cover pocket style and spiral bound desk version and is beautifully illustrated throughout. 

I will include images from both the pocket and desktop versions of the diary as both are exactly the same. 

The diary takes on a different theme each month including gratitude, bravery, mindfulness and authenticity, it is a place for you to write down your thoughts and feelings as well as filling in any appointments or special dates you may have. 

There are lots of lovely things to fill in in the diary, and at the end of each month there are pages to reflect on, there are also the usual bank holiday dates and specific holidays included in the diary and a section for your own notes at the back. I could have taken so many photographs of this diary, there are some stunning illustrations and brilliant sections to fill in, it really is a lovely diary and something I haven't seen before. 

The diary would suit many different ages and would be especially lovely for someone who enjoys practicing mindfulness, gratitude and manifestation techniques, but would also suit anyone, it really is the most lovely diary I have come across and I am so happy I have it and I am going to enjoy filling it in. 

You can find the Every Day Diary 2022 in the Spiral Bound Desk style for £9.43 HERE or if you would prefer the Pocket Diary style, you can find that HERE for £6.99. 

The Astrology Diary 2022

The Astrology Diary 2022 is perfect for astrology enthusiasts, it is divided by individual zodiac signs, showing how the suns movement through the zodiac signs affects our energies whatever our star sign. It covers the effect of planetary conjunctions and shows how Mercury entering retrograde can affect our day to day decisions and fortunes. 

The diary delves into the characteristics of each zodiac sign and how that can impact the events in your life, for example, Pisces is the dreamer so when the sun enters Pisces, it's time to implement steps to move closer to your dream life. 

If you are experienced in the world of astrology, or if it's something you are learning more about or want to learn more about, the Astrology Diary will be perfect, I learnt such a lot from just flicking through it, it's a really interesting diary full of beautiful pages explaining astrology and great for documenting your appointments too. I really like it, and could definitely learn a lot from it. 

If you would like to buy the Astrology Diary 2022, you can find the spiral bound diary for £10.61 HERE.

Christmas Gift Ideas From Paul & Joe

 

Post contains PR products & affiliate links

I love Paul & Joe products, their packaging is always so lovely and they always have the most beautiful products. When I was asked if I would like to feature some of their products in my Christmas gift guides for 2021, I was so pleased to be able to share them with you. I have 3 items to share with you today and I'm sure you're going to love them as much as I do. 

Paul & Joe Pocket Mirror - £15.35

The Paul & Joe Pocket Mirror is stunning, the burgundy case is so lovely and classy looking and the mirror is a great size, it comes in a beautiful drawstring pouch too so it won't get damaged or scratched in your handbag or makeup bag.  

The drawstring pouch is lovely and is a satin material with a gorgeous design and the Paul & Joe label at the bottom, the drawstring is burgundy too to compliment the mirror. 

Inside the mirror is a good size mirror on one side and a gold embossed lid with a floral pattern on the other, the gold looks lovely with the burgundy, they compliment each other really well.

 

The mirror really is stunning and a beautiful gift for someone you love this Christmas, or to treat yourself with, it is so pretty and I can't imagine anyone wouldn't like it. You can find the mirror on the Paul & Joe website for £15.39 here. 

Paul & Joe Moisturising Hand Cream - £11.00

An extra-rich hand cream with long-lasting moisturizing benefits. This hand cream leaves a sweet scent of fig. It leaves your hands soft, perfumed and moisturized.

How cute is this packaging? This hand cream smells lovely and leaves the hands feeling well moisturised and smelling lovely, and with such fabulous packaging, it is such a lovely stocking filler or gift this Christmas, especially for a cat lover. 

My hands are a lot drier since using copious amounts of hand sanitiser, so using this hand cream has been lovely, my hands feel lovely and soft after using it and it leaves such a nice scent too. 

You can find the limited edition hand cream on the Feel Unique website for £11.00 here or on the Paul & Joe website for £11.97 here. 

Paul & Joe Limited Edition Christmas Lipstick - £18.81

Again, how amazing is this packaging, it matches the hand cream and is just fabulous, and wait til I share with you the lipstick inside the tube, it is honestly the best lipstick I have seen, and cute isn't even close!

The lipstick tip has a winking cat in a Santa hat, complete with little whiskers, is that not the cutest lipstick you have ever seen? I think this is purrfect (sorry not sorry) for any cat lovers this Christmas, either bought together with the hand cream or on its own, it is stunning. 

The lipstick is a soft red shade, so if you or the person you are buying for don't like a full on red lip, this is a lovely soft red and has a wonderful moisturising feel to the lips with a soft scent of fig. Can you imagine getting this out of your bag to reapply? As well as it being a great idea as a gift, it is a lovely thing to buy for yourself too, especially if you're a makeup collector, as it's a limited edition. 

You can find the Paul & Joe limited edition Christmas Cat lipstick on the Paul & Joe website here for £18.91. 

Overall Thoughts

I think it's safe to say, I absolutely love everything I have shared with you from Paul & Joe today, they are all lovely Christmas gift ideas and something a little different too. I would be very happy to receive any of the items in my stocking on Christmas morning.
