They also have a matching set for men also priced at £24 (RRP: £50). Seeing as we're all washing our hands more and facing the cold weather hand cream can be the perfect stocking filler, priced at only £2 (RRP: £4) the A Little Something in Bloom set gives your two tubes of their gorgeously scented hand cream, perfect to keep inside a bag for on the go.

COVID-19 Safety

Depending on where you live, it is highly likely that non-essential retail stores will be closed due to the national lockdown in England. Plans for online retailers will still be going ahead. And stores that are classed as 'essential' will remain open. A polite reminder that if you are going out to shops please remember to wear a mask and respect social distancing guidelines. It is important to remember that with the increased traffic on online retailers, the connection may be slower and products may go out of stock quicker. 

Student Discount

It is also worth keeping in mind that some student discounts are being accepted even on reduced Black Friday items. Keep your eye out on sites such as UniDays and Student Beans for the latest discount codes.
