My First Little Box - December Edition

I love the concept of a little box of surprises appearing at your front door once a month - who wouldn't?!? But....there are quite a few out there and some are quite crappy making it hard to choose.

My Little Box started in Paris and has Paris flair sewn throughout and now in the UK I couldn't resit. December's My Little Box collaborated with acclaimed blogger Fleur De Force and matches Fleur's creative flair.

On opening the cute gift, I am quite excited to delve inside, Christmas has definitely come early. It has to be one of the best monthly gift boxes I have seen by far, with beautiful illustrations, interesting, thoughtful gifts and inspiring thoughts! 

So what is actually in this little box, I hear you ask?

• Cowshed: Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion, £18, 100ml

This little beauty is the perfect handbag essential to keep your skin hydrated through  the freezing British weather. 

• L'Occitane: Creme Precieuse Immortelle, £45 for 50ml

This triple action formula is amazing for the winter months as well as sorting out your skin to be younger, firmer and smoother - there is no need to be scared of the cold! 

• My Little Beauty: Lipstick £15

In every Little Box you receive something from there own brand, My Little Beauty. The lipstick in this months box does not fail to disappoint, a vibrant red which has a hint of pink creating the perfect party look!

After trying out all the beauty wonders of My Little Box it's time to get creative with my Christmas presents as My Little Box has you sorted with string, gift tags and cute patterned tape.

And to add a twist of Parisian fashion there is a on-trend head band perfect for the holiday season with a touch of sparkle.

This is the perfect present to give to yourself or a loved one, if you haven't checked them out head over there now: www.mylittlebox.co.uk

To end this post, I leave you with an inspiring thought from My Little Box:

" Top 3 things to do during the winter months:

1. Hibernate for an entire Subday, watching the DVD of your choice.

2. Drink 3 litres of hot chocolate a day

3. Snuggle up all day under a huge blanket "
