Since John Lewis released its Christmas advert earlier this month, there have been quite a few other retailers who've dared to try and compete.
Not Aldi, though. The food giant obviously realised that there's no topping an ad that made almost 18million people cry.
Instead, the folks over there decided to have some fun. Aldi's new Christmas ad shows the Man On The Moon – who we all teared up at thanks to John Lewis – choosing between two telescopes to check out planet Earth with.
One, a John Lewis telescope, has a price tag of £109.95 (€156) while the other, an Aldi version, is just £69.99 (€99).
See what they did there? From the sad piano music to the sad old man, everything is on point.
One of the many joyous occasions for kids at Christmas is going to Santa's grotto. Not only do they get to meet the main man, they will more than likely receive a small present for the visit too.
Well, the good people at the Chill Factore in Manchester decided that it shouldn't be just humans that get to enjoy this experience, it can be animals too.
A large number of dogs (and a few cats) paid a visit to Chill Factore, an indoor skiing and snowboarding venue, to check out its new festive grotto for pets!
And not only that, a few lucky dogs even got the chance to meet Santa Paws, Santa's doggy helper (who we have already fallen in love with).
Most of the pups dressed up for the day in very cute pet sweaters and they also received delicious doggy festive treats:
Time to accept your fate and invest in a knitted roll neck because here at SHEmazing! we worry about your health.
Not even in the same league as the turtleneck or the humble jumper, the roll neck usually comes in a nice, thick material finished off with a sweeping roll of extra fabric preserved just for your precious neck.
Apart from the fact that the roll neck will keep you warm, it is also super easy to style and you can even use it hide your face if you are looking particularly grim/ you bump into someone you do not want to see.
Let Kendall show you how it's done.
That is a roll neck used to perfection.
So where can you find your own illustrious roll neck? Let's get you started.
Women all over the world, prepare to swoon as Lauren Conrad's Beverly Hills condo is everything a girl could want… and it's also everything you'd expect from the reality star turned designer.
The 29-year-old just put her two-storey condo up for sale, with an asking price of $3.2m (€3m).
The fully renovated home is very LC and every inch of space has been given a stylish make-over.
The Hills star bought the home back in 2012 for just $1.35m (€1.27m) which is almost $2m less than the market price she's asking now.
She has an ah-mazing closet which consists of a customised shoe area and even a space for her many ball gowns.
The new buyer can even have a seat while they consider what to wear in the morning as all the closets feature full glass doors.
The walk-in wardrobe is just off the master bedroom which has an additional lounging area and master bathroom.
And to be honest, it's kinda the bathroom of dreams.
There's an area to apply make-up, with not one but two vanity tables as well as a clawed bathtub and separate walk-in shower.
The dining area has a fab retro feel and connects with the fully-equipped kitchen which includes the cutest breakfast corner.
And the laundry room is probably the most girly laundry room we've ever seen as it features a wall full of pink-flowered wallpaper. #Goals.
The home also has a little man cave for Lauren's husband, William Tell.
There is an office for the lawyer and musician which is surrounded by dark wood, leather and grey forest-inspired wallpaper. Very slick.
There is also a small mirrored bar for him to enjoy a whiskey (or two) in.
This isn't the stars only home though. Earlier this year, Lauren purchased a house in the Pacific Palisades area for $4.4m (€4.15m) and she also owns homes in Laguna Beach (obvz) and Brentwood.
After insisting she simply wasn't bothered touring her latest album, 25, the singer has revealed she was only having us on.
She will in fact be kicking off a European tour in March 2016, and luckily for us there are not one but FOUR Irish dates scheduled.
Adele will perform at Dublin's 3Arena on March 4 and 5, as well as two gigs at Belfast's SSE Arena on February 29 and March 1. Yes, we did say February 29… it's a leap year folks.
Tickets for the tour – which also includes dates in the UK, Germany, Spain, Portugal and France among others – go on sale at 9am sharp on Friday December 4.
However members of Adele.com will be eligible for an advance sale next week, so sign up now. Details of the sale will be emailed on Sunday November 29.
The singer revealed the news this afternoon via a video on her personal Twitter and Facebook pages:
A large Starbucks, messy hair and massive sunglasses – Gigi Hadid certainly has her hangover style on point.
The Victoria's Secret model stepped out in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning looking more than a little worse for wear. Making a beeline for her car, Gigi was snapped wearing a large checked shirt and the remnants of her outfit from the evening before.
Yup, we've definitely spotted those ripped boyfriend jeans and that blue Hermès bag somewhere – on Gigi's Tuesday night date with Zayn Malik, to be exact.
Gigi and Zayn were pictured together on Sunday night outside the American Music Awards after-party, and they headed back to the same nightclub on Tuesday for a second date.
Determined not to be papped as she left West Hollywood club The Nice Guy, Gigi used hair, her phone and even her handbag to cover her face. But there was no hiding those washboard abs…
The blossoming romance comes just three weeks after Gigi's split from musician Joe Jonas, and three months after Zayn called off his engagement to Perrie Edwards.
While Zayn appears to be moving on at breakneck speed, his ex-fiancée has recently moved back into the house the couple bought weeks before their shock split.
She was snapped with her mother over the weekend picking up household supplies including a vacuum cleaner, before heading back to the East London mansion, which set the pair back almost €6million.
We all know the drill by now: the beautiful models, the glitzy dresses, the sashes, the super awkward if not creepy hosts, the horrendous talent portion and of course the crowning of the winner as she weeps delicately.
So what happens when you accidently lose the crown? Well, this was the mare faced by the organisers of the Miss Universe Ireland pageant which is taking place tomorrow.
The headpiece, which is specifically commissioned by a company in the US, was reportedly stolen from the studio of the pageant organiser, Evan Doherty. Uh oh!
"The crown was left in my studio and someone broke in and grabbed it. So there’s someone walking around Dublin now with a very nice looking piece."
The pageant was inevitably thrown into absolute chaos and Evan had no choice but to get in touch with the American company in order to request an emergency crown.
Well, you can all breathe a sigh of relief because the company arranged for a replica headpiece to arrive just in time for the grand final. What good luck!
The trauma sounds remarkably similar to a curious incident that befell another prestigious Irish event, the Miss Ireland pageant, back in 2011. According to reports, the crown also went missing the day before the pageant following a photo shoot.
The missing crown miraculously turned up the next day, just in time for the final.
The winner of tomorrow's pageant will go on to represent Ireland in the Miss Universe pageant taking place in Las Vegas in December.
Twenty-two girls will be vying to impress the judges who include Irish model Roz Purcell in order to win a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, a modelling contract and the opportunity to represent Ireland in Vegas.
When Fleur East performed her new single Sax, on the X Factor last year, everyone went absolutely mental.
Since then we have all been eagerly awaiting for the music video to come out, because if her performances on the reality show were anything to go by, the video was going to be BIG.
Well, it landed this week, and let us tell you, it does not disappoint.
Full of bright colour, skin-thigh outfits and infectious dancing, we can see everybody shaking their booty to this at every Christmas party this year:
Every women dreams of having underwear that smells like bacon, right?
To be honest , as much as we love the cured meat, we don't even know where to start with this one.
A US food firm that specialises in bacon-themed products have unveiled probably its most weirdest creation yet – bacon-scented knickers.
The people at J&D's first started off by selling bacon-flavoured salt and since then they have tried to incorporate the cured meat into EVERYTHING.
"It all started with our dream to make everything taste like bacon,” according to the website. And now the Seattle-based company have embarked on the most strangest bacon union to date.
"Marrying the ultimate in comfort and cured meat, J&D’s Bacon Scented Underwear represents the gold standard of meat-scented luxury undergarments,” the website promises.
“It's like a hot frying pan in your pants.”
We don't know about you, but we rather not have the smell of breakfast coming from our pants, thanks.
Earlier this year, the #freeyourpits campaign saw women defiantly grow out their underarm hair and display it proudly on social media. So it is only right that the trend had a little festive update.
Today, November 26, marks Thanksgiving Day in the USA.
While Ireland is certainly home to a lot of expats, the Thanksgiving tradition has yet to catch on here, mainly because it is so tied into US and Canadian history.
The modern-day Thanksgiving celebration is usually traced back to a Pilgrim feast at Plymouth back in 1621 in honour of that year's good harvest.
And while Ireland has adopted traditions like Halloween trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving as its own, Thanksgiving is one autumn celebration that hasn't made it to these shores.
All the same, there are definitely a few elements of Thanksgiving we can totally get on board with…
1. Turkey, turkey, turkey
We never say no to a good roast dinner… and it means we don't have to wait until December 25.
2. A cheeky day off work
When is that ever a bad thing?
3. Pies, cornbread and green bean casserole
We're still not sure sure about sweet potato pie with marshmallow topping though.
4. Black Friday shopping discounts
Lots of Irish retailers have adopted the tradition of giving discounts on November 27, so prepare to blow your entire pay check tomorrow.
5. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Snoopy, Spongebob, Kermit – all our faves, only massive and inflatable.
6. Giving thanks and helping those less fortunate
Looking back at things we're grateful for over the past year should be something all of us do, regardless of where we're from.
7. Leftovers for days
Who can forget poor Ross and his stolen Thanksgiving sandwich?
8. Officially marking the start of the festive season
In Ireland, Christmas starts in that grey area between "after Halloween" and "December." In the US it's a lot easier to figure out.
We are girls and we love make-up. SHOCKER. And we will therefore take any opportunity to discuss make-up in detail because make up what makes us happy.
Whether you are all about the packaging or swear by your go-to foundation, we all have our favourite brands for many, usually very specific, reasons.
But how did MAC become MAC? And what benefit is there to be had from Benefit? Oh and just WHO is the Essie behind Essie?
Do we have you wondering? Well wonder no more.
NYX
NYX Round Case Lipstick in Electra, €xx
The glorious Nyx was named after the Greek goddess of the night. Nyx (the goddess that is) symbolises beauty and power (of course).
Touché, Nyx.
Essie
Essie Nail Polish in Play Date, €9.99, Boots
The Essie behind Essie is none other than the company’s founder, Essie Weingarten. Having set up her company in 1981, Essie is a pretty impressive business woman.
Essie cosmetics was sold to L'Oréal ensuring business success for the foreseeable future.
You go girl.
Maybelline New York
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, €11.99, Boots
In 1915, Mabel Williams mixed coal and Vaseline together and applied her concoction to her lashes and brows, making them look fuller and darker.
Yep, you guessed it! She was one of the first people to create mascara as we know it.
Inspired by her creation, her brother set up Maybell Laboratories and eventually changed the name to Maybelline.
MAC
MAC Studio Finish Concealer Due, €31.50
MAC was founded in Canada in the eighties and was originally intended to be marketed solely towards make up professionals.
As a result, MAC simply stands for Makeup Art Cosmetics
Lancôme
Lancôme Soothing Moisturising Cream, €52.50
This cosmetics brand was named after… a castle?
The founder of the company named his new venture after a French castle called the Château de Lancosme that he had visited on his holiers.
Yellow flowers that were seen growing in the castles gardens served as the inspiration for the brands' iconic flower emblem.
Shiseido
Shiseido Perfect Mascara Full Definition, €27, Boots
Shiseido is one of the longest running cosmetics brands in the world having been founded in 1872.
The name comes from a Chinese book entitled I Ching (that’s the Book of Changes to you and me). This ancient and historic manual is one of the oldest of the Chinese classics.
The word shiseido itself comes from a passage in the text that means: "Praise the virtues of the great Earth, which nurtures new life and brings forth new values."
Benefit
Benefit Benetint Lip and Cheek Colour, €34.50
Benefit cosmetics started out as a beauty boutique called The Face Place which was opened by the Ford sisters in the seventies.
As the store originally focused solely on make up products that would tackle common problems and blemishes, it would make sense that the brand eventually became Benefit.
