A Yankee Christmas

I love a good Christmas fragrance; and nothing is better than a glowing candle in the winter, so really Christmas smelling candles are perfect. I hate the thought of spending £20 on one candle, that gets to a certain point where you can't burn it any more and you waste most of it. Yes you have a nice jar that you can reuse in some way if you want to, which I have done with mine. But for the price I prefer to buy the small sample ones so I can have a few different ones to try rather than just one scent. 

      I recently bought 2 small candles from the Christmas range. 

There are a few different candles available. I've smelt a lot of them but there were a few i thought were too strong but might be different when lit. 

- Candy Cane Lane

- Christmas Garland

- Icicles 

-Snow In Love

-Baby Leaf wreath

- Sugared Apple

- Cranberry ice

- Red Apple Wreath

- Season Of Peace

- Sparkling Cinnamon

- Silver Birch Christmas Memories

- Angel Wings

- Christmas Eve 

- Christmas Cookie

I own Christmas Cookie and Christmas Eve. Out of the 2 christmas eve is nicer, it has the official christmas smell. But the other one is nice but like its named ' cookie ' its sweet. 

Some of the range are really strong so if you are interested in buying one make sure you give it a sniff. 

Yankee also do a very good range of christmas gifts. 

these voites are £10.99 and are a good idea for people who want to try different candles from the christmas range. 

Also avaibale is a yankee calander! how perfect 

This calendar retails at £24.99, and it holds mini christmas candles. For the price it is 100% worth it, there is also a different type of calendar available as well.It is shaped like a wreath like you can see in the photo. 

This one is roughly £30 and has 23 tea light candles and then one voite for christmas eve. as you can see in the picture it is beautifully packaged like a house which i think shows time and effort has gone into making this. also on a product like this i think packaging makes a massive differences. i am still tempted to buy one of these for my own house. 

12 days of Christmas

12 days of Christmas contains 12 great products, all different, but all amazing. This can be used as an advent calendar type thing, or even just as a gift. It retails at £50; which seems quite pricy, but I think it's worth it. I haven't actually tried any of the products that are in this gift, but I have used many different lush products in the past. 

     Singular bath bombs are roughly £4 each let alone the 2 soaps and shower gels which the box contains. 

    Dashing Santa, holly Golightly, golden wonder and star light star bright bath melt are all included. 

If you are stuck for ideas, this is a good present, and something quick and easy. I will be doing reviews throughout December on the products involved, so if you are interested in hearing about the products make sure to come back then. 

The packaging is big for what is in inside though i think they have wasted a lot of space to be honest but its really nice. It is presented like a book which i think is a nice idea, its a shame that when you open it all the products are there i think they could have packaged them some how to kind of hide the products because it slightly ruins the element of surprise. I know that on the outside it tells you the contents but i think for some people if they dont want to know, you dont have a choice as soon as you open it. 

Sorry for anyone who didn't want to see the inside but maybe some of you do.. 

As you can see you have 12 sections in the box to keep the products separate, but i didn't really like the fact that the bath bombs haven not been wrapped like they normally would do when you purchase them in singles in the store. 

Here is a photo of the outside packaging, and it is a lot bigger than it actually looks. But i think the packaging is very pretty. 

Our beautiful baby

Today is a different post and I think tomorrow will be a homely blog. If everyone is ok with that :). Ive been shopping today for decorations and such for my bathroom because it was dull and depressing so I wanted a bit of change. Enough about that and onto my beautiful baby! My husky puppy! Ive got some pictures below of him and his growing up so far. He's 8 months old and a beauty! 

         Jasper is a winner because he does us proud. He had his first real outing a few months ago to a little dog show. Where he won! He won best looking big male, and over all male. And then best in show! He's just beautiful. He entered a free competition that day for a Callander which he then won. Which means hell be in a calander! He's my first ever dog, so he's extra special, he's funny active an cheeky. If anyone is thinking of getting a husky, they are wonderful pets, they need a lot of time attention and exercise but they are so worth it. So a bit different today but I hope everyone enjoys anyway! 

Thank you for reading about my beautiful baby! Love you jas!
