I really wanted the Diptyque one but I couldn't square the cost with myself, however hard I tried (and I did), and then I got a set of mini Jo Malone perfumes for my birthday so couldn't justify it on the grounds of needing perfume either. So I've just bought myself ALL the Christmas-sy candles I can to offset the hole in my life.

ETA: NB NOT Yankee Candle Berry Trifle. :lg:
Which Christmas candles?

I just picked up a Ferm Living advent candle and it is very pleasant and the glass it's in is such a pretty green.

A full sized Skog* of course, and a set of mini Sno, Jul (gingerbread, cloves) and Trae (piney) from Skandinivisk, Diptyque's Feu de Bois, Neom's Christmas Wish (which sort of smells like Lebkuchen) and White Company's Winter. :lol: I'm going to be in Space NK on Tuesday too and will be sniffing the Diptyque Christmas ones and the Jo Loves ones.

* bathroom soap will also be switched to Skog the minute we hit Dec 1. :disco:

Skog is the best ever. I bought the hand wash, body wash and candles to try to make the Airbnb smell less like someone else’s house.

I don’t think anybody has the same calendar as I do, so I’ll post what was in mine with one of my trademark terrible pictures.

Want did everybody else get :weewee:?

Starting day 1 strong Ella!

I don’t think anyone has the same as me, do they? I will search before revealing.

It is a good gift but not for me as it does absolutely nothing for my skin! If anybody in the UK wants to try it, let me know.

It’s a shame it’s no good for your skin Ella and I’d be pleased with that Viggy!

I’ve searched and no one seems to have the same calendar so I’ll post a bad photo too.

Nice day 1 gifts! I’ve opened my but don’t want to spoiler as I know Edith has the same.

I’m pleased with mine but I suspect I’m going to have some serious food smell associations!

Have you opened yet, Pip?

Thank you for being considerate, olive :love: - I’ve opened mine too and from here on I won’t look at this thread until after I have opened for the day.

I’ll do the same! :dotty: I figure I’m fairly safe given I’m 5 hours behind you though.

The shampoo and conditioner smells divine and I know I’m going to crave bakewell pudding every time I use it. :))
