I don’t usually start my Christmas shopping early – but having been so on it with all the Cyber Week deals it meant I started snapping up gifts in November. First time for everything. And its sort of rolled on from there. In fact I think I am about two gifts away from completing my entire gift list. Smug right?!
Have you seen this years Debenhams Christmas adverts? That track gets stuck in my head every time I hear it… ‘staaaaar…’ do a bit of you know you did good, do a bit of Debenhams. I drive my husband mad choosing presents – and cards. I take so long. But I want them to be really loved and for the cards to mean something personal or make them laugh. So as part of my Christmas collaboration with Debenhams they invited me to choose a gift for someone special in my life. I chose my Sister. Like me she’s a mum of two and barely has time to think about herself, working four days a week and has been juggling sick children a lot the past month. I thought she deserved a gift that she wouldn’t ever buy for herself. Something I know she’d feel so guilty spending her own money on – so a real treat.
This beautiful black silk pyjama set has the most beautiful lace detail that cannot fail to make you feel like a silky goddess at night. I’d wear with a huge fluffy dressing gown for real luxury on the skin… and after a deep bubble bath. Thats my idea of a dream evening. With a large Merlot of course! I can picture my sister already! Quite envious…
I also know she never spends much on her skincare but loves the fact her sister is a beauty product junkie so uses mine. I wanted to treat her to something that’ll work but that’ll last a long time too. The Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum is amazing. And a little goes a long way.
And the gift box – Debenhams has these gorgeous boxes in four sizes and they come with ribbon a tag and a choice of these little cards with notes…
Now lets hope it brings a huge smile to her face! She deserves it.
