Early shoppers get the limited editions

Happy Jazz weekend and it is now officially the gifting season too! I never feel guilty mentioning the C word once we are in the heart of the jazz and if working for years in retail taught me anything, it’s that Cork shoppers are savvy!

These are some gifts that are limited edition so I wanted you to know about them ASAP as they might sell out!

If you're after the perfect blow-dry this festive season, I have to share my go-to - the LanaiBLO 2.0. I've been using it for a while now, and it’s completely transformed the way I dry my hair.

Not only does it look incredibly stylish, but it’s the performance that really sets it apart. I’ve just treated myself to one of their new limited edition shades, and I’m in love! But, let's be honest, it’s not just about the look. The LanaiBLO 2.0 is a serious contender when it comes to drying hair.

With its powerful 2400 watt motor, it dries my hair so quickly – an absolute lifesaver on busy mornings. No more spending ages with a dryer in one hand and a brush in the other; it works quickly, and because it’s lightweight, my arms don’t ache by the time I’m finished. The best part is the Ionic Technology and Tourmaline Crystal Components.

My hair tends to get a bit frizzy, especially during the winter, but this dryer leaves it looking silky smooth every time. My hair feels soft, sleek, and shiny after every blow-dry. Plus, the long 3.8m cord makes styling easy – no more awkward stretching to reach the mirror.

If you’re thinking of treating yourself or someone special this Christmas, you really need to check out the LanaiBLO. These limited-edition colours are absolutely stunning, but they won’t be around for long.

I ordered mine from their website, and delivery was really quick (they deliver across the UK and Ireland). Prices start at €99.99, so what are you waiting for? Trust me, you’ll be as hooked as I am. Your hair deserves it!

As a lover of luxurious beauty and self-care, I was thrilled to try Rituals' Winter Limited Edition: The Alchemy Collection, and it didn’t disappoint. Inspired by the ancient practice of alchemy, this range promises transformation through nature’s elements—and it truly delivers.

First up, the Alchemy Collection Body Scrub €13.90. With its black volcanic sand, this isn’t your average scrub. It detoxifies, exfoliates, and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and rejuvenated. The combination of myrrh and amber gives it a warm, comforting scent that lingers long after use. My skin has never felt softer or looked more radiant, and it’s perfect for tackling the winter dryness.

Then, there’s the Alchemy Collection Face Mask €34.90. Infused with 24 karat gold flecks, this 4-in-1 treatment exfoliates, hydrates, and smooths, leaving skin glowing and refreshed.

It’s a luxurious treat for the face that delivers instant results—brighter, softer, and more radiant skin in just one use.

But the highlight for me was the Salt Stone Diffuser €39.90. The continuous blend of cinnamon, white orchid, and amber creates a warm, inviting scent that instantly transforms any space.

It’s the ultimate winter home fragrance and doubles up as a chic decor piece!
