2020 has seriously blurred the lines between work and home for most of us. Remote working (WFH) has become part of the norm and we have been spending more time inside our own four walls than ever before. And the thought of a holiday, packing a case and perusing departure lounge goodies? For many of us, that’s a distant dream...
Whether you’re leaving the house or not, it’s time to switch off, take a step back from the daily grind and focus on you. We’ve teamed up with Heathcote & Ivory, along with their bespoke brands Sara Miller, RHS and Cath Kidston to bring you the best British Beauty Staycation treats to take you a million miles away, without going far!

Something to add a little bit of luxe to your home. Add hotel inspired luxury to your bathroom with a Sara Miller London Soap and Accessory Dish.
Try something new

Fall back in love with your home
Because we’re all spending so much time there, show your home some TLC, have a clear out of unused/unwanted items, this helps to clear the mind as well as space. Perhaps do a deep clean so your home feels fresh and inviting. Try rearranging furniture or buying new cushion covers for your sofa, a little change can go a long way.
