To help make these dark and dank months not just tolerable, but quietly enjoyable, we’ve scoured the net for small, simple indulgences to lift the spirits. The trending treats currently topping our winter wish lists include knitted balaclava hoods that make cold walks appealing, memoirs like Raising Hare that justify an early night, and the latest Korean-inspired facials promising glass skin.
Skincare, in particular, comes into its own at this rather bleak time of year. Think citrussy body scrubs from Jones Road, the latest glow-boosting formulas from Laneige and Dr Sam’s fancy new gel roller. Dry January, too, has never looked so sophisticated. Today’s non-alcoholic drinks - from Saicho’s refined sparkling teas to Wild Idol’s rosé – provide all the ritual, without the next-day regret.
Often, it is the smaller luxuries – like Spacemasks self-heating eye masks, mini mindful candles or Aspiga fingerless gloves - that bring the greatest satisfaction and a disproportionate pleasure. So, if you’re looking for small, considered gifts to see yourself or a friend through the long winter stretch, this edit of 21 little luxuries, is an excellent place to start.
