I felt quite bad about leaving you all in the lurch when it came to ideas for men's Christmas presents; I said in my previous gift guides that I found shopping for men really dull and frustrating and that I wouldn't be going there this year. But then I sat and thought...
Well I must say that this fragrance has grown on me, if only a little. I couldn't stand it at first. It's not my type of perfume at all, but it has caught my attention somehow - perhaps because it's such a breath of fresh air at a time when many fragrance releases are...
I felt moved to make an extra gift guide after seeing some of the complete tat that's out there for under ten pounds - it's actually quite difficult to get something decent, these days. I spent hours and hours trawling the internet and I hope I've found some real...
Oh, oh, OH! This little purse spray came through the letterbox and I couldn't believe how cute it was with its dolly bottle and cool packaging and then, as if things could get any better, I caught a whiff of the fragrance and it was MARNI ROSE! One of my favourite...
And now for the "larger and luxury presents" part of the Christmas Gift Guide. Some very tasty morsels in this one, so do have a watch even if it's just to ooh and aah over everything. No doubt I'll be doing standalone posts on some of the items, too - I'm especially...
I posted the first of my Christmas Gift Guides on Friday - this year I'm only doing two videos, one for smaller presents and one for larger or more luxurious offerings. There will be, of course, the annual candle video and I have a Christmas Decorations video coming...

This weekend I spent an inordinate amount of time playing about with Bobbi Brown's Scotch on the Rocks makeup collection. It's absolutely delectable. Warm, shimmery tones that make you think of candlelight and sparkling champagne; rich shades...
Sexy little skincare sets for those thinking of introducing friends and family to something new, beauty-wise; most of these are "tried and tested"; the Aesop is unknown territory but one that I've had my eye on for a good while. The first on the list is the Hello...
Hopefully you're all finished up with your Christmas shopping and you can sit back and relax, smug in the knowledge that all you have left to pick up is a sack of potatoes and a family tin of Quality Street. Unfortunately, I am still floundering about like some kind...
BOOM! This is good, isn't it? Carmex in a loud tin - the perfect emergency stocking filler. I'm a sucker for interesting packaging, me. Carmex, £3.99, Selfridges.com More Christmas Gift Ideas...
Ah yes, my favourite Gift Guide Video of them all: the luxury one with all the stuff that you might not treat yourself to but would love to find under the tree. You'll have to watch it to find out what's on this year's list, but (spoiler alert) there is the most...
