Crabtree & Evelyn Ultimate Hand Therapy Set 55% off at Escentual.com (was £45, now £19.95)
This set sells out again and again but we found some left at Escentual.com. Beauty steal!
Philosphy’s Peppermint Stick 3-in-1 duo £18 (Lip Gloss + all in one Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath flacon). Fresh as a crisp winter’s morning, Philosophy have teamed up their high shine mint lip gloss with a get-you-out-of-bed-on-a-Monday-morning shower gel.
Kew Gardens Burton Cake Bird Feeder £7.95 at John Lewis
While we’re busy stuffing the turkey as well as ourselves over the holidays, we mustn’t forget to feed the birds who find it harder to find food in extreme winter weather conditions – particularly when the ground’s covered in a big sheet of snow. And if you’re larder’s overflowing, there’s no better time than this week to put aside some essentials and festive treats for those who are struggling – take some supplies to a food bank, or find a local charity who’ll distribute your food to those who need it (more). The best gift at Christmas is being able to give. Win-win.
Hotel Chocolate Pink Champagne Truffles £10 (daahling!)
Paris Chocolat Plaque £10 at John Lewis
And last but not least, rounding up our under £20 round-up is….?
We don’t say OMG that much…(but OMG?!) Anna Sui’s divine, richly pigmented and totally diverse eye palette is normally £28 pretty much everywhere else we looked – but you’ll find it for a very festive £14 – spotted today at Escentual.com.
