Vanilla Chai is a gorgeous sweet yet highly festive scent comprising of hand-picked Vanilla from Madagascar, Creamy Milk, Warm Spices and a touch of Brown Sugar - this fragrance is addictive and will be to both your skin and senses. This fragrance is incredibly festive, but something that could easily be used and worn throughout the entirety of the year as the warm spices aren't as overpowering as you might think. If you're buying for somebody who adores bath and body care, is passionate about cruelty free products and adores smelling gorgeous - these incredible products are definitely for them (or for you). From a fabulous candle, to a gorgeous sugar scrub, a handy hand cream, a foaming bath and a softening body butter - The Body Shop really have created the most amazing Christmas fragrance this year. The Vanilla Chai Scented Candle retails at £10 - this candle smells absolutely divine and is so perfect to place within your bathroom whilst relaxing in a Vanilla Chai scented bath. I can't find where it states the burn time but I'm guessing it could be 40 hours, which means your entire desired room will be full of gorgeously festive fragrance for a very long while. The Vanilla Chai Sugar Scrub is SO dreamy! Highly indulgent, this gorgeously sugary scrub will remove the top layer of any dead skin cells to reveal a silky smooth and extremely sweet smelling skin. The Vanilla Chai hand cream is one of my favourite products from this range as it's cute and handy design means I can carry it with me wherever I go - college, trips away, coffee dates or long beach walks - and it means that the gorgeous scent of Vanilla Chai will never be too far away from me. The Vanilla Chai Foaming Bath is divine. I am a sucker for a bubble bath, I have two each day, and this gorgeous bathing accompaniment really does ensure I feel pampered, incredibly relaxed and ready for the cold winter day ahead. Finally, the Vanilla Chai Softening Body Butter is incredibly thick, intense and highly moisturising. A formula which is far thicker than the hand cream and a little more intense; this beautiful body butter is perfect for the cold winter nights when your skin has been exposed to the frosty weather all day long. I adore using this body butter on my knees, elbows and knuckles; especially when they become dry throughout November and December. The Vanilla Chai range by The Body Shop would make the most incredible gift of body and skincare this Christmas. Sweet Vanilla teamed with musky warm spices to create the most indulgent and luxurious range.

LUSH Christmas Goodies

LUSH - everybody adores LUSH at Christmas time. Actually, I am pretty sure that everybody adores LUSH all through the year. Getting your dearest friend, sister, cousin or mum a bundle of LUSH goodies would make the perfect gift as their products are fun, innovative, they all smell delicious and they all ensure our skin is looking, feeling and smelling its best. Below I have 4 amazing Christmas themed products from LUSH, these four products would make the perfect bundle for any girl who adores pampering herself, and these are four products that are a 'safe' buy for anybody who is unfamiliar with LUSH but knows somebody who would love something from them this Christmas. Below I have two products from their Snow Fairy range (their best loved Christmas range and the range every girl is sure to adore) - consisting of a bubblegum pink appearance, Snow Fairy also smells exactly how it looks. The scent of candy floss and bubble-gum will fill your bathtub as the gorgeous glimmering lustre will caress your skin to ensure you sparkle all day or all night. First up, the Snow Fairy Shower Gel - this is a fan favourite and a true winner amongst LUSH's Christmas Collection. Highly popular and sweetly scented, the Snow Fairy Shower Gel (which can also double up as a bubble bath) creates a bubbly lather, leaves you smelling sweet, your skin feeling soft and your skin and bath tub sparkling. Retailing at £7.95 for 250g (pictured below), this pocket-friendly present will definitely put a smile on somebody's face! Next up we have the Snow Fairy Body Conditioner. This body conditioner is a product you smooth over the entirety of your skin to ensure your whole body is feeling smooth, head to toe. With the exact same fragrance as all of the other Snow Fairy products, this fabulous conditioner for your skin will not only leave your skin feeling smooth but your skin will smell good enough to eat too! Retailing at £13.95 for a big 'ole 225g tub of this amazing Snow Fairy Body Conditioner, this will last you for AGES as it is also a self-preserving product - but remember, it's best used fresh. Moving onto another fairy, this fairy is the Sugar Plum Fairy and she will sooth and smooth your lips. Every girl of any age adores these sugar scrubs - take my word for it. Caster sugar teamed with a regal purple colouring, teamed with the flavour of blackcurrant = silky smooth lips and a delicious sweet treat. You simply scrub on a little bit (or a lot) of the Sugar Plum Fairy onto your lips, scrub in and lick off. Retailing at £5.75, this gorgeous little sweet treat will make the perfect stocking filler. Now moving onto the final product from LUSH - this product is from their 'FUN' range. FUN is a play-dough-esque product which triples up as a body wash and a shampoo too! This is their 'Elf On The Shelf' a fun and exciting bathing accompaniment that can be moulded into an elf and then you can even sit him on your shelf. Not only is this product fun but it also smells amazing - citrus tones combined with cinnamon ensure your elf will smell just like Christmas. I can't wait to make an Elf nearer Christmas and sit him in my bathroom. This fun and exciting bathing product would make the perfect stocking filler for any adult who loves having fun or ANY child - they will honestly ADORE this. Retailing at £5.95 this fabulous Elf will put a smile on anybody's face this Christmas. 

Flamingo Candles

Flamingo Candles - a brand I have admired for ages and a brand that's incredibly sassy and on-trend. If you know somebody who is obsessed with candles and Instagram, why not get them the most Insatrgamable candles about? Below I have two of their fabulous new Autumn/Winter 2016 candles - the first one being their Salted Caramel Apple scented soy wax candle with a cute metallic green Parasaurolophus on the front and the second being their Mermaid Tears scented soy wax candle with the most gorgeous metallic pink shell on the front. These candles are so fun, smell delicious and look ever so sassy. Each of these candles has an average burn time of 50 hours, which is actually pretty amazing considering how cute and small they may first appear. These candles each retail at £12, which I feel is very decent price. The Salted Caramel Apple candle is incredibly sweet and very Apple-y indeed with a slight hint of musk and vanilla, the gorgeous green wax looks funky and bright - perfect for anybody who loves dinosaurs, the colour green or a bright pink room (as the green would compliment fuchsia pink SO well!). The Mermaid Tears candle smells absolutely amazing - this candle is really up my street. The notes within this candle are as follows: Blackcurrant, Orange, Vanilla and Lemon - as you can tell this candle is very fruity but also incredibly fresh. The lilac wax teamed with the beautiful metallic pink shell adds a little bit of mermaid magic and of course lots of sass too! If you're buying for somebody who adores unicorns, mermaids and all things Instagramable, I recommend getting them this gorgeous Mermaid Tears candle from Flamingo Candles as well as the Spectrum Collections Marbleous brush set (featured further up this post) as these two products would make the most mermaid-tastic, aesthetically pleasing gift ever!
