Celebrities have to deal with a lot of people judging them and being on the receiving end of complete strangers' comments and opinions.

While it might seem completely unjustified most of the time, sometimes an A-lister will say something in an interview or do something that does raise more questions than it answers.

When Gwyneth Paltrow started her wellness and lifestyle brand, Goop, in 2008, it started out as a basic newsletter, filled with articles to help you live your best life.

Although it did include advice like "eliminate all white foods" there wasn't anything too crazy. 

However, as the years went by and her product range expanded, she added more questionable and new age products, with the most popular (or unpopular depending on how you look at it) being her "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle.

So, naturally, during this time of the year, we all wait in anticipation to find out what someone like Gwyneth will be gifting her loved ones and friends.

And with the 2021 Goop Gift Guides that have just been released, we have not been disappointed.

The highlight however is not the actual gift guides but the advertisement Goop have released in honour of the holidays approaching.

In the video, Gwyneth can be seen doing all sorts of festive things while a voiceover explains how to do the holidays the right way, since we might be out of practice considering last year's festive season was brought to a halt because of the pandemic.

Watch the video below to see what all your festive goody bags should include:

While we might not be sniffing on any of her candles anytime soon, we have to give Paltrow a round of applause for creating this advertisement where she is able to poke fun at her own brand while taking the negatives and turning them into something positive.

And just in case Gwyneth is reading this - we would love a little goody bag ourselves even if it is only filled with bread.
