All I want for Christmas revealed!

As many of you eagle-eyed QVC viewers guessed, this week's Christmas wish list came from the one and only Anthony Heywood! Well done to all of you who guessed correctly.

Dear Santa,

As I've been a good boy this year, I would love lots of fabulous presents!

As my new grey cardigan has been such a hit, I'd love a christmassy one in red.

Obviously, a huge bag of chocolate would go down a treat. Thornton's in particular.

Oh yes, can you please drop me off a shiny new Archos.

Thanks very much

Top tips from our new haircare expert, Ken Paves

Join us as we welcome our brand-new range of clip-in hair extensions from Ken Paves, inspired by the gorgeous Jessica Simpson! He's known for transforming the hairstyles of a host of celebrities, including Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham, and now it's our turn to look as glamorous as them!

We caught up with him to steal his top tips and to discover why his Mum is his most fabulous customer!

How does your range differ from other haircare brands?

Coming from the midwest, I've created my line for real women - women like my mother. I just happened to test it doing make-overs on top television shows! My main goal has always been and remains to do my best to make women look their best and I'm proud to have been recognized for that alone.

What are the most stylish hair styles this winter and how can we recreate them ourselves?

The most stylish looks this season are those which celebrate a woman's unique individual beauty. Gone are the days of telling women that they must change themselves to be 'trendy'.

This season enhance what God gave you! Create your best curls, work with your straight hair, enhance your brown or blonde - BE THE BEST YOU THIS SEASON! My products help create beautiful, shiny, healthy-looking hair that is always in season!!

Try Simon Brown's Christmas pudding recipe

Hi everyone, I'm Simon Brown the guest expert for cook's essentials.

A delicious, homemade Christmas pudding is the best way to round off Christmas dinner, but only if you’ve remembered to leave enough room!

Nothing beats the magic of making your own and gathering the whole family around for a stir and a wish before gently steaming the pudding and then tucking it away for a few weeks to mature, ready for its flaming entrance on Christmas Day. 

Here’s my favourite recipe which makes a rich, scrumptious pudding...


Rich Christmas pudding 

Serves 8-10 (depending on how much turkey you’ve eaten beforehand!)

Keeley's Elemis tips and answers to your questions

Hi everyone,

I'm back on your screens tomorrow at 11am and 11pm so I thought I'd drop in to share a few tips and answer a couple of your questions...

It's so important to have even a really basic skincare routine. Just simply cleansing, toning and moisturising can help improve the look of your skin - very important with the party season fast approaching!

Step one: Firstly you should pick a cleanser and toner suited to your skin type. In the Elemis skincare range you can choose from normal to dry, normal to combination or sensitive options.

All Elemis cleansers use natural bases and pure plant extracts including lecithin to gently cleanse away make-up and grime. Elemis toners are alcohol-free and are designed to rebalance the skin’s pH level.

Step two: After cleansing and toning, you should always moisturise to help protect the skin. Choose your moisturiser based on your skincare concerns i.e. if you’re starting to see the first signs of ageing then choose Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, or if dehydration is your main concern choose Maximum Day & Night Cream.

Create the perfect manicure with Leighton Denny

Hi ladies, Leighton Denny here,

Just dropped in to tell you about my exciting Today's Special Value and to share a few tips to help you get the best results. Whether you want bold colour or beautifully natural nails, The Ultimate Collection has all you need to achieve your favourite look, quickly and simply, in the comfort of your own home.

How to create a flawless French Manicure

There's no need for perfect eyesight or a steady hand - just follow these simple, step-by-step instructions.

1. Apply a Base Coat to your nails, such as Undercover. When dry, dab your Natural White Nail Varnish across the tip of each nail.

2. Use the Precision Brush dipped into Corrector Liquid like an eraser to carefully wipe away the excess white polish and make a gentle curve. Wipe the brush on a tissue after each use.

What is the 55Max Order Box?

The 55Max order box can be given as the gift itself and the recipient can then choose the photographs they want to use. The box is similar to a gift voucher and allows the recipient to send their images in for production in their own time.

What happens once I've received the order box?
Once the order box has left QVC the next stage will be between the customer and 55Max Bespoke. 55Max Bespoke will process the order and consult with the customer via email or phone to ensure a constant flow of communication.

Is there a cut-off date for Christmas delivery?

 Dear Santa,

I have been a good girl this year and have tried really hard to behave myself. I've been going to bed at a reasonable time but sometimes QVC keeps me up late.

I would love you to treat me to some...

Elemis Milk Bath so I could relax in my bath with some Yankee Candles to burn (my fave is Baby Powder).
I'd love some heated rollers too as I'm growing my hair long and so some Louise Galvin hair products would be nice too.

As I'm passionate about jewellery would it be too much to ask for a beautiful Murano Gold necklace? Oh and a new juicer so I can replace mine that's on its last legs? Oh Santa you're brill and I can't wait for Christmas xxx
