What were your favourite S & B Xmas presents?

[JaceLancs]

I got a lovely pale grey cashmere gloves and scarf set
Lost my previous scarf on holiday in November and gloves developed a hole
O de Lancôme perfume from DC
I also got fancy hair products and some CND gel top and base coat

Not boasting ( Hell who am trying to kid , I'm boasting )

I made a Beauty Advent for my DD . She's 16yo, very fussy with products. She wouldn't use half the things in the M&S Advent or the ones online (some would be duplicates or most not her skin type or age group)
I searched for a couple of months before to find bits then wraped each one and put an advent number.
She loved it (I did one last year too) but I told her it will orm part of her Christmas presents becaue of the £ and effort (she was fine with this , I'm not being Scroogey)

I got an Elemis set (Milk Bath and Shower Gel) from DS (but I chose it)
And a Nuxe set (scent/showergel/bodycream) I chose
There's a theme here

DH and I went shopping on the 22nd in London, looked round Uniqlo but didn't buy anything. Might look in the sales

I received a tube of elizabeth arden 8hr face cream. It is so wonderful. I have exceptionally dry skin but woke up this morning to soft comfortable skin, and it smells of lemons. Wonderful product!
