We're officially counting down to Christmas so get your wish list ready...
To save you some time, I’ve searched high and low for the best presents and stocking fillers for mamas who love to be pampered. Editor: Isabella Schimid

The Lo Roller Compact
The Lo Roller Compact is designed for the makeup lover – at home and on-the-go. This beautifully-made case holds and protects your essential makeup brushes, eyeliners, mascaras and more. The soft fabric allows for regular washing and maintains the integrity of the brush bristles, meaning your tools will last you longer. With nine separate compartments (of varying sizes) the Lo Roller Compact can hold up to 14 brushes, plus a palette (if you’re so inclined). The cleverly-designed flap ensures that no brushes fall out, no matter where you go. Go to www.loroller.com

Diptyque scours the globe in search of sensory treasures, gathering together specimens from the world’s finest gardens, such citrus and arid plants from the Mediterranean as well as the wooded and lush regions of the Asia Minor, blending botany and artistic creation in a perfumed, poetic alchemy.
