If you love Jo Malone goodies like I do, you’ll know you don’t need to wait until Christmas to find gorgeous gifting options in their store; pretty much everything on their shelves is luxurious and delish-smelling enough to totally make someone’s day.

Still, they’ve now made it even easier to pick out a little spoilage with a couple of new gift sets and limited edition items like their new Deluxe Candles (R1050 for 400g) available in either Roasted Chestnut or (squeal!) Sweet Almond & Macaroon.

I’m most taken, however, with their luxurious little Christmas Cracker:

In my fantasy Lipgloss is my LifeChristmas Special everybody gets one of these babies on their plate. There are no horrible cheap party hats and plasticky spinning tops. Oh no. Each cracker pops to reveal three of Jo Malone’s bestsellers in mini form; Pomegranate Noir Body & Hand Wash (15ml), Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne (9ml) and Orange Blossom Body Creme (15ml).

The Christmas Cracker, Deluxe Candles and other gift items are in store right now (oh yes, Christmas comes early to Jo Malone) but won’t be there for long. If you want them, best you do your Christmas shopping early.

I don’t know about you but I always try to get this done ahead of time so I can sit back and feel smug. Still, there’s always something I end up forgetting and I invariably end up sucked into a mad crush of rabid-eyed mall zombies a few days before the 25th. Here’s hoping this time it’ll be different…

Love, love
