Introducing Dr Dawn Recommends!

---

I love working with Rangeford Villages and am excited to be starting my new “Dr Dawn Recommends blog” in 2026, where I will be looking at all things health and well-being and sharing products, brands and services that I use and enjoy. 

To set the scene, I thought I would start with my suggestions for a Christmas gift list with a difference. 

I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and will look forward to speaking to you more in the New Year!

1. House of Dog – https://thehouseofdog.shop/ 

“I love this brand. Good quality clothing with your choice of breed embroidered on the products. A really fun stocking filler for all the dog lovers in your life.”

Plus, for 10% off use the code DHJRT10 at checkout!

2. Thermal Spa in Bath. https://www.thermaebathspa.com/

“I was brought up in Bath and used to attend the “10 to 100 Ball” every January when three generations would finish their evening with a swim in the Roman Baths. The Thermal Spa allows you to swim in the natural warm water in a roof top bar and enjoy the Bath skyline – a real treat!”

3. National Trust Membership– https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/membership

“A National Trust membership makes an ideal gift! It opens up a world of beautiful places, countryside walks and historic homes that can be enjoyed again and again, offering memories and experiences rather than just another thing.”

4. Katoa Botanicals Face Oil – https://www.katoabotanicals.com/ 

“This is pure luxury in a bottle – why not treat yourself at the same time!” Plus, get 20% off your order when you use the code welcome20.

5. Theatre Tickets: Just For One Day – https://theliveaidmusical.com/

“I love musicals and this is one of the best ever. It is the story behind Live Aid, full of music we all know. The talent on that stage is off the scale. A real trip down memory lane.“

6. Photobox Personalised Jigsaw – https://www.photobox.co.uk/personalised-jigsaw?

“I have used Photobox to make albums of holiday snaps and they do a beautiful job. Making a jigsaw from a memorial photograph is sending a memory with a difference. “

7. Absolute Collagen https://www.absolutecollagen.com/ 

“This is such an incredible brand and their collagen products just making feeling good feel a little easier everyday.”

Don’t forget to use the code DRDAWNH10 FOR 10% off your order.

8. Trinny London – https://trinnylondon.com/uk/

“Because it strikes that perfect balance between luxury and practicality, Trinny London makes beauty feel easy, personal, and tailor-made, so gifting it feels like giving someone their own little confidence lift.”

9. Subscription to Platinum Magazine – https://shop.kelsey.co.uk/platinum-magazine?

“I’ve been writing for this magazine since it launched. When I had my first conversations with them, they told me they wanted to produce a magazine for 55+ women who wanted to continue to look and feel great and they have done just that.”

10. Support a worthwhile cause like Rangeford’s chosen charity. https://www.nfrsa.org.uk

“I am an ambassador for the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals and love the work they do. A donation to the charity is a nice way of giving back to the service animals who gave their working lives to keeping us all safe.”

Last but not least, Rangeford recommends Dr Dawn’s book – Live Well to 101: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=live+well+to+101+dawn&crid=22J63TXE06KQW&sprefix=%2Caps%2C335&ref=nb_sb_ss_recent_4_0_recent
