Lush local loveliness we hope to find under our tree

Pyjama House

pyjama house 2

Gorgeous traditional  pyjamas straight out of the imagination of Lucy Vaux and from her farmhouse in North Yorkshire. You just can’t have enough pyjamas at this time of year or indeed get them on early enough in the day for that matter. Whilst we would never usually suggest dressing the same as your kids, for these beauties we will concur.

Harrogate Candle Company

Harrogate Candle Company

Anything from this company is a total delight. Set up in 2012 in Harrogate and using 100% pure essential oils, these products are made with a huge helping of care and attention with each candle being hand poured. The diffusers last a good six months and can be refilled. We hope to find the Dark Amber and Sandlewood Diffuser under our tree.

Secret Truffles

Secret Truffles

Christmas is a time when chocolate becomes calorie free in our world and also very cheap in the supermarkets. Secret Truffles produce chocolate on a different level though. Made by master chocolatier Ben Rawson a man who has made chocolates and petit fours for the Dorchester and The Savoy. They are simply stunning and worth splurging on for a loved one or yourself this Christmas. (We can’t resist the white chocolate)

Neom

Neom Bath Oil

Now that it is stocked in Fortnum and Mason and Selfridges to name a just a few, it is easy to forget that Neom was started at a kitchen table in Harrogate. We have included them not just because we yearn for their products but also as they company ethos is womens wellbeing. The Lavender, Jasmine & Brazilian Rosewood Bath Foam or Oil is at the top of our wish list this Christmas.
