Getting into the Christmas Spirit with a Festive Jumper!

Everyone wants and needs a Christmas Jumper in their life, true? Well, there are so many to choose from that I have chosen the ones I really want and would actually wear.  

I've seen many people comment across social media about how they always purchase a Christmas Jumper to wear on the day, or get matching ones with their partner and then there are some who don't bother at all.  I have quite a few Christmas jumpers, my favourite one being two bunnies with fluffy tales which I bought from Asda George a few years ago, it is pink and white and I wear it as soon as it starts to get cold.  Now I think it is about time I bought a new one and here are my choices:

So there are the 8 jumpers that I have become quite fond of and picking one of them is proving to be quite a hard task. There is the good old Home Alone quote jumper from Primark with 'Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal' emblazoned across the front, something which will always stifle a cackle or a lovely ice blue coloured jumper from Dorothy Perkins with the lyrics 'Let it Snow' which I think is really pretty. Then there are the animal ones which feature a Primark Robin and his fury hairy wings, New Look reindeer who is looking far too excited that it is Christmas and a jolly little owl from Next with his Santa hat on, Then we have a nice traditional grey jumper from House of Fraser which is really festive and goes with every outfit or a black one which is decorated with a Christmas Tree from BHS. The final jumper, perhaps the one most people will love features a Unicorn and that comes from Asda.

I think I have chosen jumpers which anyone could wear, there is nothing too cheesy except Home Alone, but that quote always amuses me and there are plenty which can be worn with jeans, leggings, jeggings and a skirt which just add a touch of festivity to an outfit.

Which ones of these jumpers would you choose and do you buy yourself a Christmas Jumper?

L’Occitane Advent Calendar and Gifts

Not too long along I posted about 32, yes THIRTY TWO beauty advent calendars that you could choose from and apart from some of them being absolutely amazing but a tad 'ouchie' on the bank balance, some of them are more affordable and simply fantastic.

This year L’Occitane not only have some amazing Christmas Gifts for men, women, your home and some amazing stocking fillers, they also have their first-ever advent calendar** and most readers will know that I am a huge fan of the brand and I am yet to try a product and not love it. This advent calendar is filled with 17 beauty products and a further 7 Provençal gift treats including a selection of their best-selling products and if you want to know which ones, then you can ruin your surprise here. It costs just £39 which is an absolute bargain.

What I think is fantastic about this calendar is that if you are not too familiar with L'Occitane as a brand, then an advent calendar like this would be a really good introduction, because not only do you get the excitement of opening an advent door everyday for 24 days, but the samples behind each are big enough to give you an insight as to what each product is like and give you the chance to decide whether or not you want to try a full sized version. 

 If like me you already love the brand, then it is the perfect opportunity to stock up on your handbag/desk samples.

Have you stocked up on L'Occitane gifts for Christmas?
