And with the year we’ve all had, we think it’s more than acceptable to start the cheer earlier than usual. We’ve got plenty of inspiration in the form of advent calendars to snap up now. For those of you that can’t quite face the classic chocolate treat in the morning, we’ve found the [best food calendars]( with daily treats ranging from Joe & Seph popcorn, to a pop art inspired offering from Offblak, a brand that has innovative flavours and insta-worthy packaging. Traditionalist needn’t miss out either, as we’ve also got your covered, of course. Our favourite was an impressive selection of [Hotel Chocolat goodies]( that you’ll definitely be saving for the evening. And now that we’re coming into the chillier months and those days of mid 30 degree Celsius temperatures seem a lifetime ago, it’s time to bring out the [cosy wool blankets and throws]( from under the bed again. Whether you love to layer them on your bed, or over the arm of the sofas, we’ll all be draping them over ourselves while watching Netflix for the foreseeable, so make sure it’s a goodun. If you prefer to wear something warm and cosy all the time, then we’ve found the [best women’s knitted jumpers]( that you need for winter, from cashmere roll necks to zip up cable knits. And lastly, just because the temperatures have dropped, that doesn’t mean we have to spend all of our time indoors. You just need to be prepared. And the best way to do that is with a reliable waterproof jacket [waterproof jacket](.
