Now this is a proper splurge.

If you love nothing better than running a bubble bath and soaking yourself in moisturising oils, creams and serums, it might be time to plan a little self-gifting.

The ESPA Comfort & Joy Advent Calendar is about to arrive at The Maryborough Hotel Spa – and these babies disappear quickly so trust us; now is the time to snap one up.

So why, exactly do beauty buffs go nuts for this over-the-top treat?

Well, the sell-out €165 calendar is filled with 24 deluxe mini ESPA products and an extra special full-sized Restorative candle for lighting on Christmas Day (pre-order on 021 4918 350 or email spa@maryborough.ie).

Whether you put in a request to Santa or snap it up for yourself, it’s a luxe way to enjoy the Christmas countdown in style.

Who doesn’t want a gift per day for an entire month?
