My tree is up - it looks a bit lopsided🙀

I must get my Xmas mugs out for tomorrow morning!

Liberty is by the tree!

I was just thinking that I need to get my Christmas mugs out tomorrow too, for my tea ac 🎄

notnorman · 30/11/2025 22:00

I’ve opened day 1

🤫🤣

keepincool · 30/11/2025 22:02

Will be having tea from ac crumpets with jam from bonne mama ac, while I open Liberty day one. I may be feeling as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve 😄

ACAC2023 · 30/11/2025 22:44

Thanks. Place marking.

I can’t actually reach my Calendar atm due to renovations. But will make sure to get it tomorrow 🙂

Sunshineo · 01/12/2025 05:22

Placemarking but can’t actually get to my calendar because Dh is asleep so won’t be opening until after work! Aibu to wake him up before the gym? 😂

countdowntonap · 01/12/2025 06:47

Are we agreeing no spoilers until 7am? I think this was the rule last year.

I’m happy with day 1.

clary · 01/12/2025 07:10

Strong start for Liberty – this and similar is one of the reasons I bought this one :)

Ilikeyoursleeves · 01/12/2025 07:15

Ooo day one is fab! It’s past 7am so hopefully I’m safe to say it’s a gorgeous perfume called Zephirine. I tested it and it’s not too strong so I’ve put some on for work today! Excited to see what the rest has in store now!

A bit too strong for me.

Sturmundcalm · 01/12/2025 07:21

I'm too cheap/not interested enough in perfume/make-up to buy an actual Liberty AC but I got my husband to buy the empty box (and bag) on ebay when it was released. Saw it last night for the first time and was vv impressed with just how pretty it is.

Unlike the rest of you, I got a pen that says "did I just roll my eyes out loud" and a condom... 😂

Ilikeyoursleeves · 01/12/2025 07:23

Lol @Sturmundcalm🤣

Circularmadness · 01/12/2025 07:24

Not a fragrance fan but this is my first Liberty calendar and I’m loving the look and style of everything. Feels very special and festive. Looking forward to day 2!!

lookonthebrightside0 · 01/12/2025 07:31

I’ve tried this one before and initially I thought it strong but it does settle to a nice fragrance

carbonelthecat · 01/12/2025 07:32

Pleased with today’s perfume and I shall wear this week (I pick a perfume to wear for the week each Monday).

UntamedShrew · 01/12/2025 07:37

I love the perfume! DD has had a spritz on her scarf today too, both big fans. Nice way to start the month 😍

Seagullstopitnow · 01/12/2025 07:40

carbonelthecat · 30/11/2025 21:06

Checking in as well, I got mine out of the postage box today and was blown away by the beautiful bag - love the cushions but I’ve already earmarked mine for a holiday laundry bag as well as it is such a good size!

Yasss!! Glad I'm not alone in the posh laundry bag idea!

2025istheyeari · 01/12/2025 07:41

I love this! I tried it on in Liberty and as others have said, it settles into a really nice smell, so much so that I bought another from Vinted for DS who commented on how much he liked it. Pleased with day 1!

Seagullstopitnow · 01/12/2025 07:43

I forgot it's normally a perfume on day one and already put some on.
Will have to try it after my shower tonight

(Anyone else do a little Facebook post every day with twinkly music or just me? 🤣)

NatalieNatalieNatalie · 01/12/2025 07:49

Love the perfume - it smells Christmassy. Developing a little morning routine with coffee, cat, and calendar.

Netaporter · 01/12/2025 07:54

Ahh I’m a Chanel no5 girl myself so this’ll go in one of the DD’s stockings this year. I agree it is a lovely fragrance though.

jay55 · 01/12/2025 07:57

Lovely start. Really pleased with this one. Doesn’t feel like December yet but this is helping me get in the mood

imp2007 · 01/12/2025 08:03

I'm really happy with todays the fragrance is different to what I'd normally choose but I like it. This years calendar really is beautiful I think it could be the nicest one yet. I've decided I'm going to keep the bag in my case and use it as a holiday laundry bag.

SemmaLina · 01/12/2025 08:06

Mine was still in the cardboard box , so I was very pleased with the lovely bag ! I hadn’t thought of a cushion cover , was trying to work out if my limited sewing skills could turn it into a tote bag ….
A good start to December , even though I’m still in my dressing gown I couldn’t resist trying the perfume ( which is a little sharp on first impressions , but is rather nice as it warms up )

Mctm · 01/12/2025 08:10

It's a good size bottle, first impressions I was not a fan at all, but now it's settled, I find it's actually quite lovely!

narniabusiness · 01/12/2025 08:16

It smells very Christmassy to me. I think it’s the cloves. It would also be good as a candle I think. I loved the link to the Matthew River art work. His watercolours are so richly detailed. A great start to the calendar.
