If there’s one thing we all want in the run up to Christmas, it’s an outlet with all the best brands and some great bargains.

You can get all of this at London Designer Outlet in Wembley – with so many shops and so many deals it’s actually hard not to go crazy.

There are restaurants and food stops too, so you can spend the whole day at the outlet Christmas shopping and sneaking in some treats for yourself at the same time.

Rituals is known for its philosophy of turning everyday routines into meaningful moments, offers a luxurious range of body care, home fragrances, and wellness products.

The new store showcases its signature collections inspired by ancient traditions, designed to bring calm and mindfulness to busy city life.

Rituals joins other beauty shops such as The Cosmetics Company Store, Beauty Outlet, The Fragrance Shop and The Body Shop, all of which I had to pay a visit to.

There was up to 70 per cent off the regular high street RRP – and I won’t gate keep – I did spot the likes of Jo Malone and Tom Ford seriously discounted at The Cosmetics Company Store.

Other shops include a Next Outlet store, an Adidas, a Nike and an M&S Outlet, where I found some high-quality new towels, the same that are sold in the regular stores – just at a discounted price.

There were queues outside Adidas and Nike, which pretty much says it all and proves the popularity and the bargains.

Some other Christmas or sneaky treat-yourself-present shops include Kurt Geiger, Levi’s, New Balance, Calvin Klein and Claire’s.

I might have made a few purchases in Calvin Klein and Lindt – because who doesn’t want discounted chocolate?!

It was a day of real retail therapy, and having the option to eat at the likes of Costa, Nando’s, Pizza Express, Pret A Manger, Wagamama and more while shopping was such a treat.

I didn’t want to leave until I felt like I had looked in every single store and on every single rail to check I’d bagged up every bargain that I could.

I’ll definitely be going back nearer Christmas to milk the deals some more, and then probably again after Christmas because who can resist a bargain?!
