Crabtree & Evelyn

It is here I found my daughter’s Christmas present. More because I thought it would look good, who’d have thought. Crabtree and Evelyn sell baby nappy bottom brief covers.
They smell great, come in sizes from newborn to 18 months and look so cool! I bought my daughter two for Christmas and she’s just turned 1 years of age. They always have discounts on their lotions and packs over Christmas and they also stock a pretty cool range of the perfume oils with bamboo sticks you can put in your bathrooms and around your house to make it smell good. They last ages too!
Bonus — they giftwrap your purchase for free, and they even put pretty bows on!
Bonus — they have pretty good hand lotions, free samples too so you can try before you buy. Prices aren’t too bad either.

I’ve always claimed that Crabtree and Evelyn’s range of lavender product were made from grinding up old people.
It’s an old fashion brand that’s for sure but for some reason it works. While I stay clear from their lavender range, I’m a sucker for their rosewater bath wash. Their Gardener hand therapy has also made its way into the homes of many of my gardening friends.
La Source is less floral and more refreshing than the other products while Evelyn is probably one of their more expensive lines but smells just like a fresh rose. I mean, it really smells like a rose bud has bloomed without any of that artificial heaviness I associate with floral perfumes.
As their packaging is always beautiful, I’m sure a couple of their products will make its way onto my Christmas list this year for family and friends.

I’m extremely grateful to Crabtree and Evelyn. And I mean, extremely. Not just because it smells so incredible but it’s also saved my skin time and time again when it comes to buying gifts for female pals. You know, when you don’t want to/can’t spend a fortune, but want something that looks impressively classy.
Just give them a beautifully wrapped C&E hand cream (around $ 18.95 for 50g) and watch them look impressed. If they don’t, defriend them immediately!
As they say, you can tell a woman’s age by the state of her hands, so this is the place for a rescue remedy. These are the best, and most hydrating creams I’ve ever used.
Another tip for beautiful hands — get the La Source hand exfoliant — use that first, then rub in hand cream afterward and watch your poor, punished hands start to glow and get their youthful appearance back.
Of course C&E sells other beautiful lotions and potions for the body and the home, as well as range of beautifully luxe, crisp, cotton nightwear.
And, another reason this is extra special one-​stop shop for gifts is that the polite, super-​friendly staff will beautifully gift wrap everything for you if you want, no matter how little you’ve spent. And the gift wrapping is not just for Xmas either — it’s all year round.
