You’ve found a gift for everyone — including your best friend’s kid, Great Aunt Mildred and the grumpy new neighbours (earplugs, in case anyone was wondering).

Now it’s your turn to treat yourself to the little luxuries you wish you had more time for. Or just forward this e-mail to someone generous enough to help.

Sleep
You can’t actually catch up on lost sleep (that’s a myth), but you can make what little you get more comfortable with a cashmere throw, cosy pyjamas (Toast, 191 Westbourne Grove, W11 2SB; 020 7229 8325) and pretty cushions for your bed.

Pampering
In desperate need of me time? Book an at-home massage, take a long bubble bath in the glow of a fancy candle, and settle down with a good book.

Dress Up
Remember when primping was fun and not a chore? Some sparkle and a pair of glass (looking) slippers will make you feel like a princess again.

If all else fails, spell out exactly what you want with a letter necklace.

In case no one gets the hint.
