We all know how hectic the festive season can be - getting caught up in the grind of day-to-day life and before we know it we've only got a couple days left to find the perfect gift for the friend that already has everything. Or perhaps things are so busy, you're forgetting that self-care is the best care.

Whether you are treating yourself or someone else, the team at SevenYays have devised the perfect surprise which promises seven days of smiles for the recipient. From birthdays to anniversaries, self-care surprises - and now Christmas too - there’s a SevenYays box for every special occasion.

I tried the new M&S Christmas sandwich range and one item left me speechless

Not one to pass on festive cheer - I was offered to test the Christmas box, which retails at £43, and jumped at the chance.

My box arrived beautifully packaged and in a stylish abstract print. Though it would look lovely displayed throughout the seven day period - I'll admit I couldn't contain my excitement and opened every door to my calendar right away.

The festive scent hit me instantly and grew stronger upon lighting my Cranberry and Orange Natural Tin Candle by Wild Olive, which for a small tin, promises a pretty decent 15 hours of burn time. The Wild Olive Bath Tea Bag in Cranberry and Hibiscus was similarly delightful.

The arrival of my SevenYays kit coincided perfectly for a festive beverage using the Cocoba Chocolate Marshmallow Milk Hot Chocolate Spoon on Bonfire Night and the Teapigs cuppas have offered the perfect winter warmer as the mornings have gotten colder.

I also found a WishStrings Christmas Wish Bracelet, which promises to grant your wish upon falling from your wrist, a byEloise London Hair Band Bangle and Nail Kind Natural Vegan Nail Polish in Red Carpet, inside my box - all perfect for getting ready for the festive season.
