TELEVISION TRAVEL LIVE FOR THE WEEKEND Take a trip to the world’s most idyllic islands to blow away winter blues
The late great George Michael once sang “Everything she wants is everything she sees” and when it comes to these Christmas gift ideas, we’re guilty as charged. A bit of sparkle never goes amiss at Christmas, and neutral lipsticks are a safe and lovely bet. Ditto a glow-giving highlighter. Fragrance wise, these are sparkling options that have dressing table allure, and luxurious scented candles as long as they’re from cult brands are always appreciated. Finally who doesn’t know a woman who’s dying to slide into a bath filled with Cowshed’s Knackered Cow? Add in some peace and quiet to enjoy a good soak and you’ll be in the good books all year long.
