💍sorting how lovely!

I got two perfumes : Papillon Dryad and L'Atelier des Bois de Grasse Fleur d'Oranger bais rose.

Two kinds of soap: Crabtree and Evelyn Jojoba and a mixed box of Fysio soaps.

A gorgeous red cashmere scarf, really thick and luxurious. Really chuffed with it.

Not bad at all!

I'm on the hoarders board so probably shouldn't confess but I got some lovely things.
My mum did very well on the S&B front, she got me a miss dior set, two elemis things I use and a lovely loccitaine body cream that I love but never buy as it feels a lot for a body cream.
DH bought me some ugg slippers which are far from stylish but really snuggly, I've been hinting strongly for over a month so if he'd missed that he would have been in trouble!

CantChoose · 26/12/2017 07:35

Oh, and some red leather gloves from my MIL. These are very nice but will have to be exchanged as she bought a large and I have tiny hands. She does know this but she's a lovely MIL not a mumsnetty MIL so I'm sure this was just a lapse in concentration!

RickOShay · 26/12/2017 07:49

an eternity ring. I can’t wear my wedding ring as it is minuscule, so wanted a replacement, i haven’t worn it for about 10 years. I thought i would get another plain one, but i saw this beautiful one, and got that instead Grin
It’s similar to Laurie’s but a band of twinkly diamonds.

tehmina23 · 26/12/2017 10:09

I got:

Davidoff cool water wave woman

Clinique 7 day scrub & Clinique party pop lipstick

Nivea shower cream

All favourites of mine.

tehmina23 · 26/12/2017 10:10

Clothes I got were:

2 pairs of starry pjs from m&s

A pale pink v neck jumper from Crew Clothing

Archfarchnad · 26/12/2017 10:47

Ooh, some of you get loads of prezzies! Am slightly envious. The nearest I got to a S and B product was a pair of nice tights from DD2, much appreciated.

And DD2 got a Too Faced Peachy Palette from us, which she'd been lusting after. Our city finally has a branch of Sephora so it wasn't a huge logistical challenge.

After posting here on S&B for tips for Ugg dupes and wholeheartedly expecting the very nice TK Maxx ones recommended, DP totally surprised me with actual real Uggs - I am awestruck and in love with them!

DH bought me a Jo Malone advent calendar Xmas Blush Am opening one day at a time backwards till end of Dec and the rest in January. Plus extra perfume and suede slouchy ankle boots. I also got a pale blue cashmere scarf from M&S, not a colour I would have chosen but I love it and it's so soft, and a long dusky pink scarf, and a not very stylish bag from my Mum . I am very happy with my loot! Only thing I didn't get that I wanted was a diary so am trawling the sales for one Xmas Wink

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 28/12/2017 15:00

Bobbi Brown kit with pink/bronze brick in it.
Benefit brow kit.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 28/12/2017 15:06

Loads of Kerastase and Matrix hair products from DSS and my mum, both of whom work for head offices of (different) hairdressing chains. Perfect gifts, even though DSS I suspect got his free, and my mum only paid 50p per item. I don't care, they are exactly what I use and very thoughtful.

redmarkone · 28/12/2017 16:42
