I'm just imagining the shambles that bag would look like if I tried to do it!

[amandarussell]

I love Philosophy - I get Snow Angel every year ( QVC in the USA has it every year) - I am also using an Egg Nog one from last year too ! Smells delicious 😊

[paulinemackie]

Gingerbread candle gorgeous I agree, but Cherry Bakewell comes close if you haven't tried it Caroline.

My favorite hand cream of all time is by L’ Occintane and it’s their Shea Butter hand cream in a Aluminum style tube, it smells delicious and does a great job, I have my hands in water all day and this revives them every time.

Hello, thought I would share my favorite winter hand cream— it’s thymes—balsam fir. The smell is perfect for winter if you like a pine type scent. Very nice! Enjoyed the video thank you.

Well Caroline cutting the hood off that could be a game changer. Love a gilet especially when driving and Atrixo is great hand cream x

[ashleyforbes]

Love Atrixo handcream - very moisturising and non sticky finish! Defo my go to! 😃

[fionafrazer]

Love a Gilet (or Vest as they are known in the US) and have several down filled puffers which are perfect for keeping your body warm without being too bulk to drive. The bag looks so interesting - can't wait to hear how you get on! I'm a watercolorist so have the hobby sorted! Hand cream everywhere - absolute essential this time of year.Also use the Carmex - but also love the Aquaphor stick. Argan Oil is an essential for me - shins, back, upper arms - all the flaky places.

[BusyBeeMaree]

❤Love a good mug. We were lucky enough to have some Marks & Spencer’s products in our Target stores over here.❤

Great list Caroline! Winter essentials are such a must this time of year. ❄Same here—I've gotten back into candles too! 🕯 I couldn't be without lip balm and hand cream either. L'Occitane hand cream is such a treat, and a good face and body moisturiser is an absolute must for me as well. Totally agree about the cosy ambient videos; the Christmas ones are my favourite this time of year🎄✨ The sew-your-own handbag idea sounds amazing! Lovely video—thank you for sharing! ❤😊 xxx

Lol Love it cutting the hood off just my sort of thing!!!! 😂🤣 Always a pleasure Caroline 🙏 Have a fabulous week!!!! 😊

[EileenLymer-iw]

Really enjoyed this content and you look so smart in your gilet.

Morning Caroline, great ideas for winter essentials. I use Clarins hand and nail cream, find it non greasy which I luv. Hav a good week. 😊

[katieadams]

I use the hand cream my grandmother always used which is Atrixo it's not very glamorous but works really well. I love those Youtube videos - sometimes if I can't sleep I use them to help me sleep. They just play quietly in the background and I can drift off 🙂

[maureenmcgreevy]

Morning Caroline. Niven soft all day for me, lip balm, hand cream & moisturiser, used it for years. Candles real ones loads of em, love em. Lounge wear essential for me & fleecey throw. Hot drinks & a good book. Every year at this time I read Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher. So fire lit, stew on the stove, 😋😋. Happy Sunday.😊😊

For hand moisturizer I just rub Castor oil on after I use some on my face.

[Deniseandcats]

My favourite handcream is The Body Shop’s hemp. I try others but always come back to this one

[tobyo]

I love Hempz hand lotions. I'm not sure if they sell in the UK but I've used their lotions for years in the U.S. and love them. Editing to add that they're called body moisturizers and not lotions 👍

[drogna]

Bit late for this. I have flu. I love the HB gingerbread candle. I'm already on my second this year. I have another in reserve in case they sell out. None left last time I was in there.

[siantowers]
