What's hot
Brighten up winter
Hot chocolate. Warm blankets. Good books. They’re all part of the hibernation instinct that takes over as winter rears its freezing head. But rather than take cover like the Blue Peter tortoise, tackle the chilly season head on.
Beat the winter blues by filling your life with all the things that make you smile. They don’t have to be lavish – sometimes it’s the simple things that do the job. Whether it’s a coffee maker or new cushions, grab whatever you need to get through ‘til spring.
Winter slumberland
During winter, your bed becomes a warm haven of tranquillity, away from the bitter cold outside. And is there anything more satisfying than slipping between fresh new sheets? Whether it’s the beautiful smell, the soft cotton texture, or the smooth surface, it’s truly a slice of bedtime heaven.
Tea for two
There’s nothing like a soothing cup of tea on a winter's afternoon. And somehow it tastes better from a fancy teacup and saucer. These typically English sets will transform your teatime into something truly regal. Of course, to fully appreciate it, you’ll need a comfy chair and the obligatory packet of biscuits.
Ultimate relaxation
They may not admit it, but men enjoy candlelit baths just as much as women. There’s something soothing about slipping into warm water and forgetting about the outside world. So lock the door, light some candles and drift off into a stress free trance.
Fluffy and fabulous
Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for towels to become flat and coarse. And there's nothing like being wrapped in thick, fluffy cotton after a long soak in the bath. So throw out your old ones and treat yourself to a little bit of luxury.
Chocolate heaven
When it comes to hot drinks, coffee seems to be the number one choice. If we’re talking comfort value, however, hot chocolate’s still the undisputed king. Whether you take it plain with milk, or piled high with marshmallows, vanilla and cinnamon sticks, it’s like a warm winter hug in a mug.
Ethical washing
If you’re worried about your carbon footprint, Lush has made the perfect shampoo. It’s a 55g bar that offers the same amount of washes as three 250ml bottles. Not only does it cut down on packaging, but it also reduces transport, too. And because it’s a bar, it lasts longer, so doesn’t need any chemical preservatives, either.
Bottled comfort
There’s nothing like climbing into a cold bed with a hot water bottle. While some people go for the electric blanket, the heat can be a tad overwhelming. But the beauty of a bottle is that you can kick it out when you reach the desired temperature.
