    1. Tada & Toy's new collection in collaboration with Lizzi Hadfield is utterly stunning.

    Tada & Toy

    "If you're a fan of layering gold pieces and neutral colourways then you're in for a treat! The collection features 18ct recycled gold vermeil pieces combined with a choice of blue lapis or tigers eye stones for a subtle-yet-stylish finish. Each piece is screaming to be paired with crisp cotton and soft knitwear, so if that's your winter aesthetic of choice, look no further for your new go-to jewellery pieces."

    –Valeza Bakolli

    Get the charm earrings here for £125 and the Figaro chain here for £145.

    2. Pott'd's pottery kits will keep you busy without a screen for hours.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "Take it from someone who had never made so much as an ashtray before trying this kit: Pottd's boxes contain absolutely everything you need to get started with pottery. It came with easy-to-follow instructions, tonnes of different glazes, and nifty tools – I was able to knock up a little air-dry vase that I love, despite having zero skills."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £34.00.

    3. DAI make high-quality, sustainable work wear that isn't just gorgeous but so incredibly comfy, you could probably do a yoga class in them. I'm obsessed with their knitwear pieces for winter!

    Valeza Bakolli / DAI / Via BuzzFeed

    "Firstly, I have to tell you about these trousers. I tried them on in store and they're genuinely the comfiest and most flattering 'smart' trousers I've ever worn (honestly, they feel comfier than most leggings that I own!). And their fabulous knitwear pieces can be dresses both up and down – this stunning red high-neck knit is made out of circular cashmere and perfect for the festive season."

    –Valeza Bakolli

    Get the trousers here for £220 (they're available in UK sizes 6-18) and the cashmere jumper here for £275 (it's available in sizes XS-L).

    4. Domino's have added spicy sausage loaded wedges and pizzas to their menu (you're welcome).

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "We're talking oozing cheese below salty, rich, perfectly-seasoned pepperoni and nduja sausage here, folks. Everyone who knows me will understand how hard this is to admit, but my Domino's ride-or-die order of ten years has been changed forever (we had some good times, pepperoni pineapple, but it's a nduja era now)."

    –Amy Glover

    Check out the new menu additions for yourself.

    5. Oh, and they have a brand spanking new festive menu too (think turkey and cranberry-laden pizza and melty choc orange cookies).

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I feel like all I need to do to convince you to try these is to list their flavours: the pizza is covered in sage-y turkey, bacon, sausage, onions, mozzarella, and cranberry sauce, while the hot, gooey chocolate orange cookies are hot, gooey chocolate orange cookies. I'm a goner."

    – Amy Glover 

    Check out their new menu additions again if you like. It's okay, you're just looking.

    6. If you're after a thoughtful gift for someone who's going through a tough time, you should check out Jellyhead's offering! This small business makes cute and fun notepads to help relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression.

    Jellyhead

    "You can choose the right notepads for you or your loved one based on the resources you need, including daily check-in, grounding techniques, and tackling negative thoughts. The contents are based on proven Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, so they're great for providing an accessible, affordable resource for people who may not be able to receive professional help."

    –Valeza Bakolli

    Check out their selection here!

    7. If you'll be in London on the 3rd and 4th December, The Beauty Beat is a festival you won't want to miss!

    The Beauty Beat

    "The festival will see some of the world’s biggest and best loved beauty brands – including NARS, Laura Mercier, bareMinerals and retail giant Boots – come together under one roof to celebrate Women of Colour. If panel discussions featuring some of the beauty industry’s most influential voices and experts, Cocktails from Klarna, access to brand discounts, and an impressive goodie bag sound right up your street, then you can find out more (and book tickets) right here!"

    –Valeza Bakolli

    8. Three words: Taskmaster board game.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "If you've so much as seen a TV screen lately, chances are you've heard about Taskmaster. My entire flat is obsessed with Greg Davies and his evil overlord persona, so we jumped at the chance to reproduce it at home – the game packs all the wild challenges into an easy-to-play game, so it's pretty unsurprising that we've become addicted."

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £24.99.

    9. KAYALI by Mona Kattan have just released their latest launch: Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli.

    Sephora

    "Described as Vanilla 28's 'boujee big sister', Vanilla Royale has more of a rich and indulgent feel. Featuring notes of vanilla orchid, crème brulée, and royal oud, it's the perfect sweet-yet-sophisticated scent!"

    –Valeza Bakolli

    Price: £79

    10. Russell & Atwell's chilled chocolate has been an absolute revelation.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I hadn't even heard of chilled chocolate until I listened to Richard Ayoade's episode of Off Menu (did you know his mum owned a fancy chocolate shop?! Huh!). Anyway, turns out keeping chocolate fresh really does make all the difference: I couldn't get over how rich, smooth, and decadent these truffles were. That's probably because they use fresh cream instead of shelf-stable ingredients like palm oil – comparing regular supermarket bars to Russell & Atwell's is sort of like comparing instant hot chocolate to creamy, hot milk cocoa. Basically, it's ruined all other chocolate for me, and I couldn't be happier about it." 

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £17.90 for three packs.

    11. Klarna's new search and compare tool is a game changer when it comes to finding the best deals over the festive period!

    Klarna

    "'Cause why wouldn't you want to buy your fave beauty bits at the best possible price?! Not only can you split the cost of your spending with the clever app, it now allows you to compare prices across thousands of retailers and filter your search by what's important to you (including colour, size, features, customer ratings, store availability, and shipping options), cutting out the noise and saving you some coin!"

    12. If you love Irish cream liqueur, Coole Swan's velvety-smooth, whiskey and Belgian white chocolate-infused one is the best I've tried.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I'm not usually an Irish cream liqueur girl, but there's something about this one that converted me. Maybe it was its not-too-sickly taste or its rich-but-not-claggy texture, but I ordered a full bottle after trying it; I'm sold."

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £25.00 for 70cl.

    13. I didn't realise I could get so excited about an underwear brand, but I recently discovered Underdays so here we are.

    Underdays

    "Designed with a gynaecologist, released after 50 rounds of user testing, engineered for everyday wear, and made in Europe, these aren't your average knickers! They feature a realistically-sized breathable bamboo gusset and come in designs that are both flattering and (most importantly) practical for day-to-day use. They'd make a perfect stocking filler, I'm just saying!"

    –Valeza Bakolli

    My faves are the Everyday Cheeky: £18 – they're available in sizes XS-XXL and come in three colours.

    Just FYI, they're having a pop up this weekend so you can check out the their bestselling styles IRL and get a free coffee while you're at it! So if you're in London, be sure to check them out at 7 Club Row in Shoreditch from Thursday 1st - Sunday 4th of December.

    14. Want to look luxe for less? Cocoon Club allows you to rent the most coveted designer handbags for the price of your daily cup of coffee!

    Valeza Bakolli / Cocoon Club / Via BuzzFeed

    "From the sought-after Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie bag to a crystal-adorned Prada Cleo that'd be perfect for NYE shenanigans, you can indulge your trend cravings without the hefty price tag! The genius rental option works as a subscription service, with prices starting at £79.99 per month and allowing you to rent for up to three months at a time. It's great for trialing designer styles to see if they're for you before making the Big Investment or even just styling a trend-led piece in an ~out there~ colour without having to spend thousands of pounds! I adored this autumnal Bottega tote throughout November and I can't wait to style this Gucci shoulder bag with cosy knits and xmas party outfits alike!"

    15. Sick of regular (read: boring) chocolate advent calendars? This Master of Malt whiskey one will help to keep your spirits high (sorry).

    Master of Malt

    "It's got 24 mini wax-sealed whiskeys for every day of Christmas, but don't think for a second that the quality is compromised just because they're in a calendar – I found some of the smoothest, most sip-and-sigh-worthy whiskies I've ever tried in this set, from Teeling's small-batch booze to the West Cork Glengarriff bog oak charred cask finish option."

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £99.95.

    16. Or try this deliciously sweet marshmallow advent calendar that I reckon I'll be nabbing every year.

    Naked Marshmallow Co.

    "These aren't marshmallows as you know them – they're so much softer, fluffier, and gooier than the usual supermarket kind. The flavours are much more special too – they include everything from cinnamon churro to vanilla bean and cookies & cream. Yes, please."

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £20.00.

    17. If you're struggling to get your head around your finances, then check out the Your Juno app, which is designed to help women and non-binary people become financially independent.

    Your Juno

    "I don't know about you, but whenever the word 'savings' is mentioned, my eyes involuntarily glaze over. Luckily, this Gen-Z-founded app tackles topics like buying your first home, negotiating a salary increase, and growing your money through investment in a fun and easy-to-absorb way (think: quizzes, polls and challenges taught as lessons alongside bite sized videos). I, for one, am sold."

    –Valeza Bakolli

    18. This pre-lit artificial Christmas tree from Haye's Garden will last us for years, and it means we won't have to untangle metres of fairy light cord every festive season.

    Hayes Gardens

    "Aside from looking absolutely incredible, the convenience of this six-foot beauty is unmatched. The lights have multiple functions, too: they can blink, fade, chase, and stay steady, and are expected to last a whopping 10,000 hours. It looks much more 'real' and premium than other artificial trees I've tried – I've pulled my hand away from the branches when I was half-focussing for fear of the legit-looking needles pricking me."

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £287.50.

    19. Hylo's chic new RUN trainers deliver high performance for runners with minimal cost to the planet!

    Hylo

    "I mean, with a company slogan of "Run like the world depends on it" I wouldn't expect anything less! All of Hylo's pieces are consciously made, which is reflected in the fact that the RUN trainers are made using renewable materials and can even be recycled through their HYLOOP platform! Also, I'm obsessed with the earthy tones (why do some companies think that running apparel can only come in fluorescent pink and green?!) and lightweight, comfy, and breathable design."

    –Valeza Bakolli

    Get the sage green pair for £140 – they're available in UK shoe sizes 3-13 and come in four colours.

    20. Sorry, but how genius is this Kobotix VR set that lets the user see from the POV of the remote-control car's camera?

    Amazon / Via kobotix.com

    "Step into the driver's seat (almost literally) with this straight-from-the-future set, which allows you to slot your phone into a handy VR set for a F1-worthy POV (if you replace the Grand Prix racecourse with the gap under your sofa, that is). You can record and share footage of your journey, and there are fun video filters too – my nephew basically didn't take this thing off for two days when he got it, so if you're looking for *the* Christmas gift that'll actually entertain them for more than three minutes, this is the one."

    – Amy Glover

    Price: £125.88.

    21. If you're after an incredibly luxe (and effective) skincare gift, look no further than VERSO's new Super Elixir!

    VERSO

    "This high-performance retinol is perfect for sensitive skin, as it includes vitamin A-balancing niacinamide – so you'll get the skin brightening, evening, and firming effects with none of the irritation!" 

    –Valeza Bakolli


    Price: £155

    22. This long, down-filled coat from Columbia has become my winter walking go-to.

    Columbia / Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I'm very, very sensitive to the cold, so trust me when I say that this ridiculously waterproof coat offers more warming, keeps-you-dry-no-matter-what magic than I'd previously thought possible. I love its hand-covering lining and gorgeous colour scheme – yes, I know it's not cheap, but the down filling, chin guard (that covers my nose – a huge plus) and thermal reflective lining just keep heat in in a way that no other coat I've tried can. I'll be wearing it for years."

    – Amy Glover 

    Price: £300.00 – it's available in sizes XS-XL.

    23. I'm more than a little obsessed with these Sara Miller shower fizzers!

    John Lewis

    "If you love the ritual of a bubble bath but don't actually own a tub, these lil' fizzers are the next best thing! They'll give you all the ~drama~ and fragrance of a bath bomb without needing to run a whole bath!"

    –Valeza Bakolli

    Price: £10

    24. Vegans and coffee lovers alike, rejoice: W A V E has opened a new cafe in Stoke Newington.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed / W A V E

    "Their new location contains all the same delicious W A V E staples (think peanut butter coffee, vegan 'Save the Salmon' bagel, and vegan croissants) as their Hackney branch, but in a ridiculously cosy pared-down setting that's been all over my IG since I first visited. Try their vegan festive sandwich; I'm both a carnivore and a Christmas food fanatic, and I've still come back multiple times for their maximalist, brimming-with-flavour option."

    – Amy Glover

    Check out their Stoke Newington menu.

    25. Looking for a noticeable but not too 'done' skin refresh? I headed to INJECTUAL's brand-spanking new Notting Hill clinic for Profhilo and Nucelofill under-eye treatments and have had multiple "have you changed your skincare routine?" questions since. I wake up every morning looking like I've slept a full eight hours (and trust me, with The Crown's new season out, I almost never have).

    INJECTUAL

    "For obvious reasons, I was a little nervous about getting injections into my face, but I was reassured by my doctor as soon as I walked in. Unlike far too many other clinics, INJECTUAL exclusively hire either plastic surgeons or people with five years' experience and a level 7 certificate in injectables (no wonder my procedures were so effective and painless, then). Great staff aside, I'm now addicted to collagen-boosting Profhilo (which places hyaluronic acid under the skin for a lit-from-within glow) and regenerative, skin-smoothing Nucelofill (which is made of biostimulating polypeptides). Weeks after my treatment, my under-eye hollows and smile lines still look much less noticeable *without* the telltale volume and unnatural look you can sometimes get with filler, and the results should last for months! Oh, and one last thing – INJECTUAL has a soothing LED mask post-treatment in their recovery room, so you leave without feeling rushed (and with a minimised chance of bruising). Ugh, a dream." 

    Check out their site here.

    26. Let's be honest, the World Cup can stress you out just as much as it excites you! Not to worry though, as Deliveroo have created a new calming brew for those tense moments: aptly-named, PenalTea.

    Deliveroo

    "The limited-edition tea is made out of calming chamomile and will be available to order from 23rd November until 18th December for just 11p a tin (a cheeky nod to the number of squad members playing on the pitch at any one time)."

    –Valeza Bakolli

    You can order the tea from Deliveroo Editions sites from 12pm in Acton, Dalston, Manchester and Bristol.

    27. Take yourself to ProCook for some seriously impressive cookware (and/or the best wholesome evening out you've had in ages).

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I headed to their Tottenham Court Road store for a peek at their chef-worthy cookware and ended up booking a Christmas baking class for myself and a friend – I hadn't expected to enjoy their easy-to-follow, IG-worthy sessions as much as I did, but now I think I might be addicted. The store has also become my go-to for proper, effective cookware that'll actually last – all their products come with a 25-year guarantee, so you'll find zero flimsy, quasi-nonstick pans and gimmicky gadgets here. I bought myself a pasta maker and have been using it weekly – if you're not sure what to get your foodie friends, I feel pretty safe saying that anything from ProCook is bound to impress."

    – Amy Glover

    Check out their entire range here (I love their bargain-filled clearance section), or book a cooking class here. You can choose from in-person classes and at-home cook-alongs!

    28. Sakura's Japanese snack boxes are an incredible way to try some new flavours.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "If you're after a gift for the foodie in your life, look no further than these boxes of Japanese snacks. They contain everything from milk tea KitKats to tasty wasabi peanuts, so there's something for all tastes – doesn't hurt that it all comes in a stunning box, either!" 

    – Amy Glover

    Price: from £14.00 a box.

    29. Beefeater's rhubarb and cranberry flavoured gin is sure to be a festive hit.

    Asda

    "If you've been looking for a Christmas tipple to enjoy with your guests, this gin features quintessentially British flavours to indulge your palette. I can't think of a better reason to put my feet up and enjoy a delicious G&T!"

    Price: £14.00 for 70cl.

    30. British Black-owned brand March Muses create diverse decorations for Christmas, just like this Pops Grande one.

    March Muses

    "The brand are on a mission to make Christmas decorations more inclusive and representative – and this Santa figure is sure to be a festive favourite for years to come"

    Price: £38.00 for 66cm size.
