I met the lovely ladies behind this brand early in the season at the Prezzybox Christmas Event. Handmade in the Peak District and made from Natural Ingredients, each product is fabulously fragranced and everything you need for the ultimate relaxation and indulgent experience. Based in the heart of the Peak District and employing local people for their team, it is managed and run by family members who share the same vision to create beautiful, affordable, natural products and gifts. Take a moment to visit their website, www.wild-olive.co.uk, this Christmas and find the perfect gift for a friend or loved one. They can also be found on Facebook @wildoliveuk and Instagram @wildoliveltd. I had a go at making a bath melt and it was divine in my bath.
I am a huge lover of anything personalised to me it shows real thought and I value it even more! Therefore another great little luxury for mum is a personalised phone case and we love this one from Tiritacase. There are cases for all types of smart phones and I am sure there is something for every taste. I opted for a Marble Rose Gold Geometric case and had it personalised with my initials. It was only £9.99 with free delivery and I bet many mums would be happy to receive this on Christmas Day.
One of the big films still to come out this year is Mary Poppins and there are not many of us that won’t have watched the original film. The next film is the sequel with Mary Poppins returning to help a grown up Michael out with his own children. One of Mary Poppins key looks was her signature umbrella and there is a new Disney’s Mary Poppins Umbrella
Let me know what other little luxuries you would like to find under the tree this year.
