We’ve all fallen for the power of the ‘little treat’, so much so that it’s become a retail strategy, a subject of economic studies, even a BBC headline. But you can't deny the attraction, small, stunning items that bring a little luxury and a little smile to your everyday things. Here’s our edit of the little luxuries that make daily life feel just that bit more bougie.
Little Morning Treats
For when you want to have an even better morning than usual, reach for something that starts the day with the same energy you want to carry through. Take your time, no rushing, thats pure luxury in the mornings.
1. Marvis Toothpaste Nothing looks as good on your bathroom counter or has such a unique flavour as Marvis. This Italian brand is as beautiful as can be but if you want to make it a little more stunning, add it in an empty Diptyque candle with another complimenting colour.
2. Philips Sonicare Prestige Toothbrush The pinnacle of electric toothbrushes, and trust us, there were a lot of YouTube videos watched to come to this conclusion 🫠, but conclude we did and it is 100% the best electric toothbrush out there. Bonus points as it comes in pearlescent pale pink and navy blue looking as good in the bathroom as it does when it brushes your teeth.
3. Ugg Slippers Uggs outside is not something we can commit to, but Uggs at home are a different story. Comfy, snuggly and maybe a little chic (?) they are better than bare feet on cold tiles.
4. The Productivity Planner We love the digital version and use it every day but if writing is more your thing then you'll love the stunning planners they also make. Either way, organised and productive is the result.
5. Your Coffee Setup People who start their day without coffee… probably can’t be trusted. Just kidding. But really, why wouldn’t you? Start your morning properly with a cup of organic coffee. Look for freshly roasted beans from a local roaster, and invest in a machine that makes them shine, it really does make all the difference.
6. Organic Underwear Transform your everyday essentials into a quiet indulgence with organic cotton underwear. It’s the kind of luxury that is underrated until you try it, soft, impeccably cut, and effortlessly flattering. The feel of high-quality cotton against your skin, the perfect fit, the subtle elegance of well-chosen basics, you'll never go back to polyester.
7. Morning Skincare Continue your morning routine with a touch of luxury skincare. A gentle cleanse, the feel of cool water on your skin, taking moment to wake your skin up. Choosing a hydrating cleanser and taking a few minutes to elevate the ordinary, turns a basic routine into a small act of care that makes mornings feel quietly indulgent.
Little Afternoon Treats
For when the afternoon starts to fade and you need a little pick me up, reach for something that feels like a little surprise. Because afternoons deserve a little something.
1. Afternoon Energy Boost your energy, focus, and mood, naturally. These energy patches release a steady blend of botanicals, vitamins, and natural stimulants for up to eight hours of clean, crash-free vitality. Infused with ylang ylang, they harness the power of aromatherapy to enhance clarity, lift your mood, and bring a sense of calm when life feels overwhelming.
2. Jo Malone Hand Cream Take a moment for your hands. Warm a little hand cream between your palms, then massage it in, across your fingers, knuckles, and wrists. It feels good, smells nice, and gives you a small pause in the middle of the day. A few minutes of this simple ritual can make the afternoon feel a little calmer and smell a little nicer.
3. Freshen Your Face A quick spritz of face mist can feel surprisingly restorative. Hold it a few inches from your face, close your eyes, and let the cool, scented water settle on your skin. It’s an instant pick-me-up, refreshing, calming, and enough to reset your mind in the middle of the day without having to redo your makeup.
4. Cheese, The Perfect Snack Doesn't really matter if you're at home or the office, a mini cheese plate is the perfect little afternoon indulgence. A few mini cheeses, paired with crisp crackers or a slice of fresh bread, turns a simple snack into a moment to slow down and savour. Add a few grapes or a drizzle of honey, and it's a much improved option than crisps from the vending machine.
5. Afternoon Meditation Nothing says luxury like a peaceful mind, Insight Timer is the world's largest with a free library of more than 250k guided meditations plus many more paid, 17k teachers and the world's most loved meditation timer. Take a few minutes every afternoon for stress and anxiety management, better sleep, to manifest your goals or simply to take a break.
Little Evening Treats
For those nights when you don't have anything planned, except pajamas, a feel good film playing in the background, and some online shopping.
1. Always Desmond & Dempsey 100% cotton, impeccable cuts, and playful yet refined patterns, Desmond & Dempsey does it effortlessly. These are more than just sleepwear, they’re a small luxury you can enjoy every night
2. Diptyque Baies Diptyque’s Baies candle is the kind of fragrance that instantly elevates your space. The subtle blend of roses and blackcurrant fills the room with a warm, elegant scent, making your evening cosy, calm and completely at home.
3. Save Your Candle As much as we love the flicker of candle light, a candle warmer will keep your fragranced candles going for much, much, much longer. If you want to still have the warm glow of candles, light tea lights or pillar candles separately and put your others under this.
4. But Go For It On Your Skincare Few things feel more restorative than completing a proper evening skincare routine. We're going for Augustinus Bader for when you want your skincare to do more than just hydrate. Founded on over thirty years of stem cell research, it’s become the gold standard in intelligent skincare, with its signature TFC8® complex guiding the skin toward renewal.
5. Spritz and Snooze Sleep is the quiet luxury most of us overlook. Neom’s Scent to Sleep range turns the transition from day to night into something softer, a small ritual that signals it’s time to rest. Blending English lavender, chamomile, and patchouli, the fragrance feels grounding yet elegant, the kind that lingers just enough to calm the room. It’s more than a scent, it’s the final note in an evening that ends well.
