Christmas with Burt’s Bees

Once again this year, Burt's Bees have an incredible range of Christmas products for 2019 and today I am sharing some of them with you. I have a selection of everything from stocking fillers and medium gifts to full-on gift sets which promise to keep you looking and feeling amazing from head to toe.

The first items from the Burt's Bees Gift Collection is called 'A Bit of Burt's Bees' (£6.99 each) and over the years, it has become one of my favourite items because it looks so festive in red or in gold and I usually purchase a few of these for friends of mine as well as having them hanging on my Christmas Tree, usually to entertain the cats more than myself.

Inside the red coloured bauble, you will find the Pomegranate Lip Balm (4.25g) and this is one of my favourite lip balms from the range. It is infused with hydrating Coconut oil and vitamin-rich Pear Extract to moisturise and renew your lips and it smells just absolutely heavenly. The second product is the Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (8.5g) and I always have a tin of this on my desk. It has been specially formulated to moisturise and soften dry cuticles. Infused with sweet almond oil and cocoa seed butter as well as vitamin E and sunflower oil all of which help to nourish nails. It also has a wonderful fresh lemon scent.

The second bauble, which is gold coloured features the Beeswax Peppermint lip balm which gives a lovely coolness to the lips when used and as before, it is designed to moisturise and hydrate your lips. The second product inside the bauble is the Burt's Bees Hand Salve and this is one product that always needs to be in your stash. With its fresh herb scent, this hand salve is described as being 'Brimming with botanical oils, herbs and beeswax' and its job is to bring hydration and moisturise to hard-working hands, particularly good if you have dry skin.

If Lip balms are something you are a bit of a fan of, then the next gift item, Mistletoe Kiss (£9.99), is definitely something that you will want to see hanging on your tree, if not in your stocking.

Inside the festive packaging, you will find three of Burt's Bees favourite products which includes a Tinted Lip balm in hibiscus. These balms are designed to give a hint of colour and hydrate the lips for up to 8 hours. The second product is a Lip Shimmer in shade peony which I absolutely adore as it is such a flattering shade. Enriched with shea butter and antioxidant-rich Fruit Oils which work to moisturise, nourish and soften lips. The final product within this trio is the Pomegranate Lip Balm, which is really hydrating and moisturising on the lips and if you have never tried a lip balms from Burt's Bees before, this is one you should try.

As I have said, you can never have too many lip balms in your stash and the Beeswax Bounty (£11.99) is definitely the one you need to be snapping up and adding to your gift/wish list.

What this Beeswax Bounty does is give you the chance to stock up on your lip balm stash or it gives you one of the best ways to become acquainted with the brand and what makes them most famous.  Inside you will find four different balms which include:

• Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E and Peppermint
• Coconut and Pear Lip Balm
• Vanilla Bean lip Balm
• Cucumber and Mint Balm

Within this foursome, my favourite Coconut and Pear Lip Balm features and what I love is that there is an array of scents and flavours to try.

The final set within this gift guide is the Naturally beautiful gift set (£17.99) and this is an absolute must for any Burt's Bees fan, someone wanting to find a new favourite brand and of course, it makes a beautiful gift for a loved one.

Inside this gift set, you will find a handbag-sized red cosmetics pouch which I am already using to keep the products I use daily safe within my rucksack.  Added to the pouch you will find:

• Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E and Peppermint
• Matte Lip Crayon in shade Sedona Sands
• Tinted Lip Balm in shade Hibiscus
• Lavender and Honey Hand Cream with Shea Butter

All of these products have featured on my blog and if you are looking for a new hand cream, I have already raved about the new additions to the Burt's Bees range here on my blog.   

So, if you are looking for a custom-curated gift set this Christmas, Burt's Bees has absolutely something for everyone and because each set is so beautifully presented, you don't need to wrap them!

Christmas Jumper's with IWOOT

It's that time of year when it is absolutely acceptable to find your Christmas Jumpers or Jumpers and get right into that Christmas spirit of ordering your tree, booking the Christmas food slot, writing those Christmas cards and of course deciding what to wear for the office party!

I love a good Christmas Jumper, usually in the office we have a bad taste jumper competition to see who can come up with literally the worst interpretation of a Christmas themes jumper and over the years there have been some absolute corkers.  This year, I have been kindly sent a selection of jumpers from IWOOT and not only do they have an incredible selection, they literally have something for everyone.  If you are a politics nerd, Disney fan, Star Wars, love Donald Trump, are a mad cat lady or just want something a little bit weird and out there then this is where you need to be looking.

Nothing says festive cheer quite like Christmas jumpers. Worn for approximately less than 1 day a year, they are essential for bringing good tidings, merriment and cheer. Our Christmas jumpers range from funny or cute, to naughty or nice and everything in between, so why not kit out the whole family in these essential festive frocks?

I found it really hard to choose a selection of jumpers, as I've mentioned, I love something sensible as much as something that makes me giggle. I have a flashing Disney jumper that always comes out at Christmas and from IWOOT, I chose the following:

Ho Ho Ho Women's Sweatshirt in Black (£24.99) - As a crazy cat lady, how could I resist a sweatshirt of a Christmas Kitty? 

This sweatshirt is crafted from a cotton mix and it has a crew neck and long sleeves.

Make Christmas Great Again in Black (£14.99) - Whether you love or loathe Donald Trump, this sweatshirt did make me chuckle and it is one the mister will be wearing for work.  

It features a cross-stitch style print of Donald Trump in his Santa outfit and is again crafted from an 80% Cotton / 20% Polyester mix, true to size with its fit.

National Lampoon Fun Old Fashion Christmas Sweatshirt in Black (£18.99). A Christmas Eve tradition for the mister and I is to sit down and watch The National Lampoon Christmas Vacation featuring the Griswald family and when I saw this sweatshirt, it was the first one I was wanting to buy. 

The film is most definitely a Christmas Classic and must watch film and this sweatshirt which is made from an 80% Cotton/20% Polyester Mix and is again a really good fit for the large size that I ordered.

A little move away from black sweatshirts now with this beauty. Merry Kiss My Ass in Burgundy (£18.99) is perfect for those who love a bit of Christmas fun or are 100% in the Bah Humbug camp. 

Made from 80% Cotton.20% Polyester Mix, I ordered this one in an XL size because I like my sweaters to be slightly baggy when worn with jeans or leggings and for me, the XL is perfectly sized.

The final sweatshirt is titled Joy To The World (£24.99) and what I love about this the bold lettering which really catches the eye.  It's also a phrase I say quite a lot at this time of the year, often more sarcastically than I need to, but it is a great phrase. 

Again, this sweatshirt is black in colour and is crafted from a cotton mix, meaning it is incredibly soft and comfortable to wear.

This is just a small selection as to what IWOOT has to offer you and I could quite easily find a different jumper to wear every single day of the festive season as could the mister.  I would love to know if you are a fan of the Christmas Jumper or whether you have seen a jumper on IWOOT that you just need in your life?
