Burt's Bees Christmas

The 2014 Christmas gift collection from Burt's Bees is packed full of the most popular products as well as the must-haves. Infact I am sure there is something for everyone and today I have two items which would make a perfect stocking filler.

The Collectable Decoration is wrapped up inside this beautiful hanging decoration which would look perfect on everyone's trees and has an RRP £5.99.  Containing the classic Beeswax Lip Balm (4.25g) and a miniature Almond & Milk hand cream (7g) this has the makings of something really special.

The Beeswax Lipbalm will nourish and condition your lips. This is a 100% natural Lipbalm which is loaded with Coconut and Sunflower oils, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids to nourish, condition and soften the lips. There is also Peppermint oil for a refreshing tingle.

The Almond & Milk hand cream is one of my personal favourites and is brilliant for hard-working hands. A super-rich 100% natural hand cream made with Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E to moisturise dry skin and Beeswax to help seal and shield the hands from the elements.  I personally hate the taste of Marzipan but I absolutely love the scent of this, which it reminds me of, as well as a Cherry Bakewell, it is just a stunning scent and it leaves your hands feeling wonderfully soft and smooth.

The second Stocking Filler is the 'A Bit Of Burt's Bees' set and I have Pomegranate, it has am RRP £5.99. It contains a hydrating Lipbalm and a tin of Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and again it could be hung on your Christmas Tree.

The Pomegranate Lip Balm will again nourish and condition your lips. It is a 100% natural Lipbalm and it is infused with pomegranate oil which is an antioxidant. The balm replenishes moisture to leave smooth, healthy looking lips and it also adds a hint of colour.

The Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream is an intensive treatment that has a touch of lemon oil to nourish and moisturise whilst leaving behind a lovely fresh citrus scent.  What I love about this balm is how nice it feels whilst being used on your cuticles but admittedly I also use it on my elbows or any other dry patches of skin which appear and are in need of some TLC and it works amazingly well.

If you have never experienced the wonder that is Burt's Bees then these two packages would be a very welcome introduction, not only are they really affordable but they are also amazing products, presented so beautifully and they are 100% natural.

Ted Baker Last Minute Stocking Fillers for Him and Her

Okay so how many of you still have one or two last minute gifts to get and really do not want to be running around like a headless chicken?  Well look no further, I have some fantastic products that would make amazing stocking fillers for both him and her.

I have featured a few Ted Baker products on my blog in the last month and I am so impressed with them, I had to share them.  You can find Putting on the Glitz HERE gift set here which features an illuminating Highlighter, a bronzing compact, a Kabuki Brush and a Bronzing glow and if that isn't enough, you can find some Ted Baker eyelash curlers and nail buffer HERE.  All of these products arrive in fantastic packaging and can be found in Boots!

Today I have the Ted's Big swig gift set £12* and it features a 200ml hair and body wash, a 150ml body spray and a large water bottle. I really like the packaging within which these products arrive and it has the following description:

"For maximum performance with minimum sweat, the fresh, invigorating top notes of this (be)spoke Body Spray and Hair & Body Wash contrast neatly with this aerodynamically designed water bottle from Ted. After all, whether a grand tourer or a sprint specialist, everyone needs to whet their whistle from time to time! The Ted Baker Ted’s Big Swig gift set includes Hair & Body Wash that work in tandem with your physique to ensure you’re always oiled for choice, along with Body Spray as fresh as a bright yellow jersey...Saddle up!"

Then we have a gift for the girls, well two actually and they come in the form of nail polish duos.  First up we have Cherry Bomb Duo* £8.50. Described as:

"Put a little fizz in your day with Ted's girly and delicious Cherry Bomb, perfect for girls with a seriously cheeky side"

As you can see from the photos, the first shade is deep cherry colour which is absolutely stunning on its own, never mind with the addition of the sparkle called Sugar Rush, which I also adore.  

The second set I have is called Blue Moon Duo* £8.50 and as before there is a nail polish in a beautiful deep blue shade, so deep it is almost black, I absolutely love it and you can see how blue it is once the light catches it.  Add some sparkle called Space Dust and you add a bit more beauty to your nail colour.  Described as:

" The stunning Blue Moon is for girls who like to maintain a little mystery"

Now hopefully this post has given you some ideas for those last final few presents that you need to get to complete your Christmas Shopping.

Do you have any of these Ted Baker products?  Do you want them?
