I love immersing myself in the pages of a beautiful recipe book – everything from the pictures and the stories that accompany each recipe. I recently discovered Bake it Better, by pastry chef, Matt Adlard’s and it’s packed with incredibly delicious recipes to enhance your pastry knowledge – including Blueberry and Mascarpone Choux Buns, decadent Brownies enrobed in tempered chocolate and incredible ways to level up your Brioche, to rival any high-end bakery brunch.

Recipes include Lemon Custard Creams, Sticky Toffee Cookies and Red Velvet Sandwiches.

If you haven’t already come across UK stationery brand, Papier, you’ll love its amazing range of stylish, personalisable stationery items – including diaries, weekly planners, notecards, journals and accessories.

We spend SO much time on our feet with our shoulders often tensed and hunched over a worktop. Make the most of a little downtime after Christmas and ask for a gift voucher for your favourite local beauty therapist or spa, so that you can book a relaxing or rejuvenating massage and give your muscles a well-earned treat. Book it during a quieter week, so that you can continue the feeling of relaxation afterwards (without the need to dash back to the kitchen or hop on Zoom calls)!
