5 must buys this week

Five objects of desire that we thought we should pick up/try out right away - in case stores run out of them!

Shake it, baby
Whatever happened to Hershey's chocolate sauce being mixed with milk, and a milkshake emerging? Old hat! This is the Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake - other than being crazy eye candy. Definitely need to get into the thick of it... the sugar rush will be totally worth it!
Available at: Sugar Factory
Price: Dh65

Light up your life
Ah, scented candles! Nothing quite like them. And what if they were called 'Good Vibes Only' - even if it was to reinforce the obvious? Too good to not get caught in the candlelight! This one's a black coconut, soy-based wax one that burns with a triple scent of black fig, guava nectar, and orange zest and amber. Comes with two wicks, both lead-free, and burns for up to 80 hours. Begone, negative vibes!
Available at: s*uce stores

Three is company
I've always had an intrigue for tea-lights. Now, this set of tea-light holders is quite unlike anything I've come across in recent times. As quirky as they can get, this is like art meets ambience. Scatter them on the dinner table, or across spaces in the living room, light up and watch the fun unfold. Also, GREAT gifting idea - if you want to tell someone special you've really thought out of the box!
Available at: IKEA
Price: Dh29 for set of three (yes, you read right!)

Setting a new bar
Someone told me recently, soap bars are going out of fashion. Why use them when you have 'convenient' shower gels? Looking at these pure vegetal soaps with essential oils, you realise bars can never go out of business. Organic, good for the skin, and a triumph for sustainable living.
Available at: Polette Concept Store in City Walk
Price: Dh65 for set of six (see gift box)

Pillow Talk
This gorgeous cushion could be that prop you needed to snazz up your living space. Or maybe even the bedroom. The colours pop, and the melange of shades would complement almost every decor. The cutesy touches - the camel motif and the ethnic patterns/ designs - lend an added character, just so you know the lie of the land!
