Sam’s current go-to on the red lip front; it’s everything and more. Matte, long-lasting (you can be save in the knowledge it won’t budge until you want it to), yet not at all drying and the perfect suit’s all bluey red. Not too bold, not too bright. Just right.
9. Jo Malone London Mini Candle Trio, £41
Three scents to set the scene; whether it’s the merry-making Pine & Eucalyptus in your hallway as guests walk through the door, uplifting Lime, Basil & Mandarin during dinner or a more mellow mood of English Pear & Fresia while on the sofa watching festive movies.

A full size Calm candle, hand wash and hand lotion, 12 chocolates and two mini bottles of prosecco. Such a great value gift for those hard to buy aunties, or a gorgeous gift for teachers.
