This time last year, I hadn't heard of Crabtree & Evelyn. It was my bf's mum that introduced me to them. If you don't live near one of their shops, basically they sell body creams, shower gels, nail varnishes and hand creams. They can be quite expensive though! 
Anyway, after ordering a Christmas present from them once, I had been automatically added to their newsletter and received an email this week about their sale. Out of curiosity I decided to visit their store and splashed out on some hand creams for myself. (I work in the Design & Technology department in a school, so my hands are constantly exposed to nasties!)

The thing I love about these hand creams is the quality. I've used Vaseline ones in the past and always found that they left my hands feeling really greasy afterwards. These ones however, are so smooth and enriching. The larger sized tubes come packaged in a box which is simple yet effective. The scents are really strong, long-lasting and natural - not at all sickly or artificial.


I started putting the lavender cream on my hands before bed and found that the relaxing scent helped me sleep, so I went back and invested in a large tube which I now keep in my bedside drawer :-) I've also bought a few extra as they'd make great gifts too!


Small tubes currently on sale at £1.50 (down from £5)
Large tubes currently on sale at £4.50 (down from £15)
