2024 GIFTS: ACCEPTED, RETURNED, DECLINED
Silver Socks - from Victoria Health. The first real solution to my Raynaud's Syndrome I've had the pleasure of sampling.
The Oversize - by Navygrey. I was a member of their panel talk at Meadow, in January, and accepted this for my time and travel. (My husband has since SHRUNK this in the wash!!)
De Mamiel Cleansing Balm: as part of my article for The Telegraph, in March. And because I love this brand.
A gift from HUSH. Open to working with them but would be keen to meet rather than accept gifts.
Kanyen RF Facial Device, Ante Beauty, £399. Accepted as part of a 4 week trial for editorial purposes. I have continued to use. Very good results but you must remain loyal!
Cosmetics a la Carte, a product I have loved since 2019. Included as part of editorial story (Telegraph 2024), £48.
Westman Atelier, Peau de Peche, £53 CG Consultancy kindly gifted me a collection of products for my Telegraph April 2024 piece. This was a game-changer.
A Gifting Suite from brand DL 1961 (denim). I can't actually shut my denim drawer.... so I don't need any more jeans right now and I'm not writing relevant editorial on this at present.
Made of More, Night Souffle, £85 When the PR offered more products, I was very happy to accept this in particular which I now mix with an oil twice a week and slather on my skin at night. I love this so much I included in my latest beauty article.
Reformation Gifting - I just did not feel I needed to accept this kind offer.
MONC Eyewear, £260, Belleville I visited the store on Chiltern Street and was blown away, not just by the efforts to make a better pair of sunglasses, but the sustainable store fit too. I duly included the brand in my March newsletter and the brand kindly gave me a pair of these Bellville sunglasses. Thank you.
Eye Chain Bracelet - Sonia Petroff. I was interested to read more on the Postive Luxury certification which Sonia has attained. Mostly I just really love an Evil Eye - it felt bad karma to decline! Bring on the luck!
Livotte London, £78. I love the girls behind this brand and they participated in VCHRISTMAS. I knew the tank would be cut in a flattering, interesting way, good enough to wear with smart trousers, and a blazer.
