Advent calendar #4 | For the friend with a sweet tooth

JANE IREDALE CHOCOHOLICKS

WHAT The most decadent box of chocolates to stuff in a stocking.

WHY  Forget a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. The Chocoholicks range from Jane Iredale smells and tastes like the real deal sans calorie load. My dirty little secret (a covert caramel macchiato habit) has ceased since sporting the caramel gloss. Comes in four flavours in a cute candy box, each pot tucked into an old-fashioned chocolate wrapper.

WHO  THE FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER WITH AN INSATIABLE SWEET TOOTH.

Buy Jane Iredale chocohoLICKS at Jane Iredale Direct for $44 (RRP when sold separately is over $70).

Advent calendar #3 | For the Francophile

LA COMPAGNIE DE PROVENCE GUEST SOAP GIFT SET

WHAT A set of French soaps. Thought France and soap mixed like oil and water? Ce n'est pas vrais!

WHY  They're simple, beautiful and bring a bit of Provençal  elan to your place.

WHO  THE FRANCOPHILE FRIEND

Buy the set on Compagnie de Provence's site.

Advent calendar #2 | For the Patsy-in-training

CHAMPAGNE OF THE MONTH CLUB
 

WHAT The gift that makes everyone more beautiful (after a few flutes).

WHY Because a flute of bubbles a day keeps the mundane away and it's the gift that keeps on giving... for 12 months at least.

WHO FOR THE FOOD SNOB (and trainee Patsy).
