More Christmas Gift Ideas - LUSH

Link: http://www.lush.co.uk

I know lots of my posts have been around Xmas shopping - blame the season! Put off by the insane london crowds on Oxford Street and in every suburban shopping centre, i have done 99% of my Christmas shopping online this year - and all of it but one should now be in the post.

One of my favourite brands that originated in the UK is Lush Cosmetics. For Christmas they have brought out a whole range of cute themed gifts - I like Snow Fairy and the cute shaped bath ballistics. I am also addicted to their Flying Fox shower gel - it smells unbelievable, fills my whole flat with gorgeousness and reportedly reduces PMT. What more could you want from a bath product.

Origins Christmas Goodies

Origins, one of my favourite brands, has some great gift ideas for City Girlies this Christmas. I love the Christmas shopping season, when my inbox is flooded with pictures of tempting presents and gorgeous gift wrapped delights. I recently bought some Winter Home Spray from the White Company (wonderful London shop) and now my whole flat smells of Cinammon and Cloves. MMMmmmm.

Jo Malone Scents

Link: Jo Malone Online.

Jo Malone is the undisputed queen of the London perfume scene, her scents are exclusive, combinable and utterly gorgeous. I've been a fan of Red Roses for some time but it has an unfortunate emotional connection with my ex so I've been waiting for a new one for ages. Her latest is Pomegranate Noir and, having worn a trial size last night, i can confirm it is divine!! She recommends combining with Amber and Lavender for evening and Lime Basil & Mandarin for day. Frankly if it wasn't for the guilt cause by my already heavy laden perfume shelf, i would go straight out and buy all three. Jo Malone - officially a London Goddess.

Can't Live Without: The Toffee Nut Latte

Link: Starbucks Gossip: "The horror -- the outrage": The sprinkles are being discontinued!.

Ok, so I was about to do a London themed post on the Toffee Nut Latte and found that actualy its a subject of great discussion around the world. So here is a post aimed squarely at my US readers - WE get the Toffee Nut Latte WITH SPRINKLES and its currently the first item on the board. They are my new autumnal cant live without item for London Living. Yes, sorry, the CityChick is a Starbucks fan too.
