Christmas

There are two types of Christmas gift shoppers: the kind who have everything bought and wrapped by the first week of November or those who leave it until the last minute and spend Christmas Eve placing said presents into gift bags. Neither is right or wrong, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this. In the frenzy of dreaming up gifts for others, it’s perfectly acceptable to play fantasy with the gifts you’d like to receive, too. And team Who What Wear has certainly been indulging in virtual window shopping of the highest luxury of late.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I’m putting it out there: I’m a candle hoarder. I have drawers full of them. From fresh, airy scents to woody, spicy aromas, I’ve got a plethora of options in my collection—one for every mood. And as a candle obsessive, we’re finally entering my favourite time of the year. With Christmas approaching, I’m gearing up to unwrap all of the most festive scents in my collection and turn my home into a Christmassy grotto. The only problem is that when it comes to Christmas scents, I’m seriously fussy. The idea of filling my room with the sorts of traditional heady, sickly scents associated with Christmas makes me want to run for the hills. I like my festive candles to smell fresh and crisp but with a warming (but not headache-inducing) base that makes me want to snuggle up under a blank...

Now, we know the true meaning of Christmas goes way beyond shopping; it’s about being thankful for what you have, showing compassion for others, and spending time with our nearest and dearest; the latter being perhaps the greatest gift we could hope to receive after last year. But that doesn’t mean we can’t indulge ourselves by compiling a money’s no object Christmas list. We let our fashion fantasies run wild, and the result?

Of course, what you actually want for Christmas might not be the thing you tell them. While I always default to candles and skincare, I would never dream of telling my mum that the candle I would really like costs £145 (more on that later). This got me thinking—what would my no-holds-barred, wildest-dreams Christmas wish list look like? I decided to find out. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been making a fantasy list of gifts ideas for women that would make me speechless on 25 December. It’s indulgent—and it’s never going to happen. Still, I had fun assembling it, and I think you’re going to have fun looking at it, too. For a dose of reality, I’ve included a handful of pieces that cost under £100, too, but they are in no way less special. In fact, some are up there amongst my tippy...

When the M&S Christmas ad airs on TV, you know that we’re officially entering the festive season. Over the last week or so, the high street has well and truly embraced the spirit of the season with everything from stocking fillers to party dresses to glitter-strewn decorations. (I’ve even spotted the odd Christmas tree in a few living-room windows.) Is it just me, or are people keen this year? And let’s be honest, after last year’s Christmas, we are very much deserving of full-blown festivities. Naturally, as a shopping editor, I have already started my wish list. (Yes, I am one of those people, and I’m okay with it.) And M&S’s Christmas edit has provided plenty of yuletide inspo. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates...
