Selfridges' Christmas Countdown

So it's just over 8 weeks till Christmas ..once again this festive holiday has crept up on us from no where! Once Halloween is over with next week, we won't be able to hit the high street without being covered in glitter every time we brush up against decorations and before long we'll all have 'Jingle Bells' going round and round in our heads! But I don't care one bit because I LOVE Christmas! Bring on the Coca Cola advert I say!! The real build up starts on 1st December when we countdown each day with a little piece of chocolate! Except this year, I have my eye on something a little bit different...

Beauty Advent Calendar - Selfridges

This Beauty Advent Calendar is packed full of little luxurious samples of what you would be able to find in the Selfridges' beauty hall. I certainly wouldn't mind waking up to one of these little gems each morning ..so if anyone out there would like to make my December feel free to splash out!!

Or if you love painted nails (as I do!) then this Mini Mani advent calendar from Ciate is so much fun! That's a different nail polish for each day of December ..perfect for party season!!

Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar - Selfridges

And why not take a look at Selfridges' new seasonal video to get you in the Christmas spirit! 'Not Your Usual Christmas' is shot by fashion photographer Bruce Weber.

They've also just unveiled their Christmas window displays which you can see here. For me, one of my favourite things about Christmas shopping is the window displays inviting you in to a new magical and sparkling shopping wonderland. Living in Newcastle over the past few years means I'm always queuing up with the little kids to catch a glimpse of the enchanting Fenwick Christmas window!!

Apart from chocolate what else would you like to find in your advent calendar each morning?
