I am so excited about Christmas this year. We have just moved to the countryside and we have all my inlaws coming to stay for a few nights, as well as hosting my parents for Christmas Day, so it feels like a big cosy family affair with lots of walks, warm fires and no doubt far too much food and dare I say it, wine. This year for Christmas, I wish for a cosy countryside vibe with scented candles, games, snuggly throws and some good Christmas spirit.
Diptyque Sapin Christmas Candle £68
Scented candles are always at the top of any wish list of mine, but I do love a Christmas candle to set the tone and Diptyque has outdone themselves with their Christmas range this year. This gorgeous candle has the perfect scent of fresh pine needles and resin and is decorated with a label crafted in felt designed by the artist Lucy Sparrow.
Avery and Row Christmas Oven Glove £28 and Tea Towel £24
Our new house has an AGA and I am so excited at the opportunity to have Christmas-themed Oven Gloves and Tea Towels to celebrate the Christmas season. The adorable red checkerboard print with pine green, edging, and a delicate embroidered bow make this the perfect festive touch. It is totally adorable. Please Santa please!
Printworks Games from £15
Hosting a large group of family for Christmas has made me think about collecting games and I have always loved the look of the printworks games. The way each game or puzzle looks like a beautiful coffee table book rings to my aesthetic nature. They have just launched Solitaire which is top of my wish list as it reminds me of my Farmor (my father’s mother in Swedish). Whenever I went to her house as a child I would race to her sofa and play Solitaire with her little dachshund Polly by my side.
Ava Innes Pale Blue and White Rays Large Pure Wool Blanket £160
I am obsessed with the look of this gorgeous jacquard wool blanket which would look so gorgeous on the sofa in our blue and yellow living room and so cosy for cold nights by the fire in winter with a negroni in hand. I would just have to make sure to keep it far away from my son as it would be too special for those little mucky fingers.
I have had this one on my wishlist for a long time and now it’s finally available in the UK. It’s an air fryer and so much more. This little wonder oven not only looks so cute but it is perfect for air frying, baking, roasting, grilling etc. I love all things Our Place so I know this is going to be amazing.
With Nothing Underneath Classic Denim Shirt, Indigo £130
Known for creating everyday essentials, this denim shirt in a new darker colourway feels like a must for my wardrobe. I love denim shirts (they make up most of my wardrobe) but this colour feels modern and fresh which can easily transition from something laid back to something a little smarter. It is also slightly heavier in weight so could easily be worn as a shacket, I have been obsessing.
Everything Olverum smells amazing and this gorgeous hand care duo is no different. I love the scent of the citrus herbaceous blend of essential oils but also this Hand Care Duo is incredibly soothing and leaves your hands feeling nourished, soft and supple. It’s the perfect duo for any bathroom.
Pairs Scotland Ultra Soft Alpaca Undyed Bed Socks Gift Box £66
I love all of Pairs Scotland socks but these are top of my list for christmas. As soft as cashmere, these socks are so cosy and perfect for every day as well as snuggling up in bed or lounging around on the sofa. Designed in the softest undyed alpaca fibres to keep you super warm these socks are the ultimate in luxury loungewear.
Kingdom Scotland Metaphoric Perfume £132
I was so excited to stumble across this amazing brand that celebrates Scotland and a vision to bottle Scotland. This scent sounds so enticing with its intense scent inspired by the metamorphic rock with notes of amber and resin but softened with dark rose. I feel like this is very much a bit of me.
Sarah Chapman Pro Hydro-Mist Steamer £138
Moving out of London I feel like I need to up my “at-home facial” skincare game and I do love a Sarah Chapman facial, so this looks perfect. Inspired by the professional facial steamers used in the clinic this will deeply cleanse and unclog the skin so it can absorb my skincare better but also leave a natural, dewy glow.
I am not a runner (I used to be when I was younger) but since moving I am determined to become one again. With the beautiful countryside landscape on my doorstep, I feel this should be my exercise of choice. A new bit of kit is a great way to feel inspired and I think this little jacket is just what I need to get started.
I do love lipstick to dress up any occasion and this little set looks perfect for when I want to mix it up a bit. From a medium pink brown to a deep burgundy and soft mauve I think there is something for every outfit and any event.
Molton Brown Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold Signature Candle & Bathing Set £69
This is the perfect self-care gift. A scented candle and body wash set for an indulgent bath and me time. I am obsessed with the Oudh scent and this duo feels very decadent and I always love the Molton Brown Gift sets with their gorgeous boxes to make it feel that little bit extra special.
