We're working really hard at work right now - the staff are really stepping up. I thought I'd like to put together an advent calendar/treats thing - can do the pretty side, just looking for some lovely little ideas of gifts (taking turns to pick) in the countdown to Christmas. Beauty treats in particular - can work out mini chocolates or rhubarb gin miniature for myself!

Please send any ideas my way - we're all female and mostly middle aged with just one 20 something. Yes, I'll own up, it's a small primary school :)

Body shop have 30% off, lip balms or bath fizzers etc. Or boots travel size sanctuary bath foam etc, usually 3 for 2

Benefit do miniature versions of their makeup in Boots.

Really depends on your budget but even stuff like carmex lip balm is lovely to get...

Alternative to makeup paperchase fun stuff? Votive candles

Lovely idea OP ☺️ Enjoy

Thanks all - some great ideas to get me started! I'm kind of thinking I'd rather spend a bit more and get something nice so will go out pottering and buying when I get some time.

What about a coffee shop voucher? I always love receiving one. Something from molten brown would be lovely. Champagne truffles from m and s. A small bottle of fizz.

I wish someone would do this for me!
