We’ve got a handle on gifts for our friends and family, we’ve picked up Christmas crackers to delight our table guests, and we’ve even filled our home with Christmas candles so rich in spirit, those we live with probably think they’re in Santa’s workshop.
But now that all our good festive deeds are done, we’re left with one question: what about us?!
Aren’t we deserving of some gorgeous gifts too? Yes, we most certainly are. In fact, we think our (fairly) good behaviour this year warrants multiple majestic pressies. It’s the season of giving, yes, but we think giving a little something to yourself counts too.
But just in case anyone was to doubt us on this, we decided gift packs were the most easily explained option; after all, they make great gifts for great value, and ones this good are only available once a year. Here are our favourites – go on and grab one (or ten) as a well-earned reward – because no one knows what’s on your wish list better than you.
