How bizarre

yes I know it’s an advert but - a Christmas Eve bath for the family? Is this not a really odd suggestion?

Also the suggestion of how it will be a relaxing special treat annoys me. It’s not so relaxing if you don’t have a lovely bathroom. Many people have much more functional houses.

Also buying ‘matching jammies’ (🤢) for the family from JL £30 a pop is hardly affordable. For a family of 4 that’s over a £100 - and children change sizes each year.

I think you are really overthinking this...

From the quick glance I've taken at this JL advent thing, if you engage it looks like a great way to really ramp up the pressure and feel like a total failure pretty sharpish... I was like 'nah' I'm not buying into that, I'm aiming for something a lot more simple.
But I daresay for people aiming to have their whole life look like wall to wall Instagram moments it might be inspiring. 🤷🏾
Perhaps I'm not the target market. 😁

I'm laughing at the idea of a bath being a "magical experience"

its an advert for a middle rated seller so they will sell as treat yourself to a bit of indulgence its not aimed at people who are struggling we all know its just christmas upselling
