  • Christmas Gift Ideas For Under £10.00 in Sainsbury’s

    Christmas is well and truly on it’s way, and we all know it! People have been buying Christmas trees, wrapping paper and gifts consistently for a few weeks with many putting the finishing touches to ALL of their Christmas purchases already. If you haven’t started Christmas shopping or looking for some inspiration for gift ideas, look no further. The supermarket Sainsbury’s has lots of great pampering gifts that are fun and affordable. So what does Sainsbury’s have to offer Christmas gift wise for under £10.00?

    Christmas Gifts Idea For Under £10.00 in Sainsbury’s
    Festive Bath Fizzers

    There were quite a few festive inspired bath fizzers available in the gift section in Sainsbury’s. Bauble design, reindeer, gingerbread man, snowman, snowflake. All great in look, good sizes, different fragrances and priced between £1.50 and £2.00 each when using their loyalty Nectar card (£3.00 to £4.00 without).

    Festive Bath Fizzers
    Raspberry Ripple Bubble Bar Wand

    This grabbed my attention because it’s very similar in look to one that LUSH sell, but fragranced and priced differently. A great alternative to a traditional bath fizzer or bath bomb. Will be reusable as it’s on a stick and will be fun and easy to use. £3.00 using a Nectar card, £6.00 without.

    Let’s Go Multipack Fizzer x 6 Gift Set

    This is ideal if you want to give a bath lover a more substantial set of fizzers rather than individual ones. This gift set contains 6 different shaped and coloured bath fizzers. Fragrances included are passionfruit, chocolate and pink grapefruit. £4.50 with Nectar card, £9.00 without.

    Cath Kitson 4 Christmas Crackers Hand Creams

    Visually this is a beautifully presented selection of 4 hand creams with each housed in a cracker. These are in 3 different fragrances: 2 x Red Berry & Cedar, Tea Rose & Hyacinth and Lavender & English Chamomile. Each hand cream is 30ml so perfect pocket size. This collection costs £9.25 with Nectar card and £18.50 without.

    Cath Kitson Red Berry & Cedar Hand Cream Trio

    3 hand creams all fragranced in Red Berry & Cedar, but with different designs on the tubes. Another set easy on the eye and great for those who love the look of the brand, and of course use hand creams. £4.50 with Nectar card, £9.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    Honestly, I found this set containing 3 Nails Inc polishes gorgeous! The packaging was stylish and festive. The colours are a great selection of classic, Winter and party ready shades. This is one gift set I would be very happy to receive. £9.00 with Nectar card, £18.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    These are just a few pampering products I found in Sainsbury’s which caught my attention. Some would make ideal stocking fillers, Christmas Eve box additions and some perfect small gifts. In my opinion prices are great BUT only if you use a Nectar card! Without it you pay full price, so be warned!

  • Latest Finds In Home Bargains

    Home Bargains sells a variety of different things. Everything from food, to cleaning products, toys, home décor items and more. One thing that they do brilliantly is stock different branded bath, body, fragrance and skincare products at discounted prices. So what do they have instore right now?

    Simple Face & Eye Skincare Masks

    There’s been quite a few different Simple skincare face and eye masks available on the shelves at Home Bargains for the last few weeks. Ranging from 49p up to 89p, these are considerably cheaper here than anywhere else on the high street.

    Garnier Eye, Lip & Face Skincare Masks

    Although a lip mask isn’t really something I would want to purchase, some may want to for 99p. What more people would be more drawn to I think is the Garnier eye and face masks. For 69p you could grab either their Hydra Bomb Tissue Face Mask or for the same price their Moisture Bomb Eye Sheet Mask. Picking up all three of these items would cost less than one in some high street stores so great value.

    Glow Perfume Mists, Body Washes & Body Butters

    Social media has been going crazy over the latest products from Glow. They’re supposed to be dupes of the popular (but very expensive) Sol De Janeiro brand. Different fragrances are available with generous sizes. The perfume mists cost £3.99 and the body butters £4.99. The body washes are HUGE! For 750ml, and nicely fragranced, these came in at only £2.49. Are these good dupes for Sol de Janeiro? I don’t know, I’ve never used products from the brand. But how these products are packaged and marketed seems to indicate they are.

    Glow’s Perfume Mists

    So the question is, did I buy anything I’ve mentioned? Silly question, of course I did! If you want to grab any of these affordably priced products check out your local stores quickly, because they won’t be there forever!

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 15 to 21

    While my children get stuck in daily with their chocolate advent calendar, I’ve been enjoying the various products that have been included in my Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar from Glow. So far I’ve enjoyed wax melts and bath products from Day’s 1 to 7 and Day’s 8 to 14, but what did I find ‘behind’ Day’s 15 to 22?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 15 Keys To The Kingdom Wax Melt

    Think of bubble gum, cotton candy, those types of fragrances and this is what Keys To The Kingdom smells like. Sweet, sugary, fruity, gorgeous!

    Day 16 Positivity Wax Melt

    A slighter cool, minty fragrance with strawberries mixed in. This reminds me of how candy canes smell like but even better. Great fragrance to melt over Christmas.

    Day 16 Positivity Wax Melt
    Day 17 Bah Hum Bug Bubble Bath

    The packaging of Bah Hum Bug Bubble Bath is just adorable! It’s housed in a small plastic bottle shaped like a bauble/Christmas light. This has an almost herbal, medicinal mint smell to it which is fresh and very different to any of the other minty scented products in this advent.

    Day 18 Oat, Milk & Honey Bath Soak

    A very relaxing and soothing bath soak which was the perfect way to end a stressful and busy day when I used this. Not an ordinary bath soak, but one filled with magnesium and dried flowers giving it a holistic and botanical feel.

    Day 18 Oat, Milk & Honey Bath Soak
    Day 19 A Trick Amongst The Treats Wax Melt

    A brilliant and unusual citrus based wax melt. A Trick Amongst The Treats has a more lemongrass smell to it rather than lemon itself because it’s not particularly zesty. There’s definitely a hint of mint in this and overall a great fragrance with a herbal scent to it.

    Day 20 The Perfect Christmas Room Spray

    A fruity, berry based home fragrance product, possible cranberries or cherries, with a frosted wintery scent to it rather than sugary and obviously fruit based, if that makes sense?

    Day 20 The Perfect Christmas Room Spray
    Day 21 Mai Tai Hand Cream

    Mai Tai Hand Cream is a rich, but not thick hand cream. Very nourishing on the hands and the scent is to die for! Zesty, citrus, lemon and very invigorating. Love this and love how it smells and moisturises my hands.

    Day 21 Mai Tai Hand Cream

    Although I’ve enjoyed every day of this advent calendar, Day’s 15 to 21 possibly more so. The different types of products for each day have been so varied from home fragrance, bath products and body products. All top quality.

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 8 to 14

    When it comes to my Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar from Glow, I’ve enjoyed 7 days of beautifully scented and seasonally smelling wax melts. But from Day 8 it gets much more interesting because it’s not just wax melts in this advent calendar, but other goodies too. So what did I find behind Day’s 8 to 14?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 8- Tropical Wax Melt

    Tropical Wax Melt makes me think of oranges with cloves poked in them because this is a mix of spices and oranges. It has an almost bakery smell to it and is definitely a winter inspired fragrance.

    Day 9-Peach Sparkles Foaming Bath Salts

    An almost sweetie smelling peach fragranced bath product, and such a generous amount too! I’ve not had chance to use this as December has been very busy so far, but once I have my few days off for Christmas, I’m getting in the bath with this!

    Day 9 Peach Sparkles Foaming Bath Salts
    Day 10-The Essentials Box Wax Melt

    Fizzy, clean and fresh citrus with vanilla giving it that added sweet and comforting feel that only vanilla can give. Essentials Box Wax Melt is stunning!

    Day 11-Twisted Tinsel Foaming Hand Wash

    Another body product which was a delight to see, especially with it being full sized. This hand care product smells just like strawberry Chewits sweets, which means I can’t put this out yet as it would last 2 seconds! Not even a standard hand wash but a FOAMING one! Impressive!

    Day 12-Family Love Wax Melt

    Family Love Wax Melt is that mouth watering mix of lots and lots of berries! Fruity, fragrant yet somehow still has quite a winter feel to it.

    Day 13- Family Love/Love Family Wax Melt

    This is a sugary, sweet, vanilla fragranced piece of wax. It’s very rich and has a slight chocolate smell to it which would make any bakery scent lover happy.

    Day 13 Family Love Wax Melt
    Day 14-Cosy Nights In Wax Melt

    Cosy Nights In has a minty, cooling, peppermint smell to it mixed in with strawberry. Perfect balance of sweetness, mint and fruit so not sickly, cold or heady.

    Day 14 Cosy Nights In Wax Melt

    So that’s Day 8 to 14 done and dusted. How exciting is it to see some bath and body products in this advent? Although the two mentioned I haven’t used yet I don’t want to rush using them, I want to take some time out to enjoy them. But they both smell amazing. All the wax, yet again, have smelt incredible and there hasn’t been one I haven’t enjoyed.

    Well done Glow!
