‘Tis the season to be jolly falalalalalalaa. Do you know what else it is? Gift guide season, also known as my favourite time of the year. Oh, how I love to curate Christmas gift guides and share festive content with you lovely lot. In this gift guide, you will find a mix of both beauty and lifestyle gift ideas to help tick that special someone off the Christmas list.
Let’s start off with all thing’s beauty related, shall we?
Hum Nutrition
I believe that beauty starts from the inside out so focusing on what goes in comes before topical products. Hum Nutrition has created a variety of supplements to aid both skincare and our natural bodily functions. There is something for everyone and every need and with glowing reviews, they’re the hottest nutritional supplements on the market now. On top of that, Hum Nutrition have nailed it with their fun and colourful packaging too. Some of my personal favourites are Uber Energy, Here Comes The Sun, Air Patrol and Daily Cleanse.
Foreo Bear Mini
When it comes to hot skincare devices, Foreo is the brand to beat. They’ve brought us many cult favourites and more recently, The Bear Mini. The Bear range is a microcurrent toning device that aims to firm and tone the facial muscles. In doing so it aids in reducing signs of ageing by diminishing fine lines and encourages lymphatic drainage. Foreo recommends the Bear is used with their Serum Serum Serum for best results. This is sure to be a winner with any skincare lover.
Dermalogica Smart Response Serum
If you have a skincare junkie to buy for and don’t know which brand to go for, may I suggest Dermalogica? You can’t go wrong with any product from Dermalogica, truly. If you don’t know their skin type, then a serum is a safe bet. A great all-rounder for all skin types is the Smart Response Serum. The beauty of this serum is that it adapts to our skin to provide a personalised response every time. Smart Response technology reacts to the skin to hydrate, firm, brighten and soothe.
Cosrx Ultimate Moisturising Overnight Mask
The cold weather coupled with the use of central heating is no match made in heaven when it comes to our skin. The two really deplete the skin of essential moisture and in turn, we can get dry parched skin. Put some love back in with the help of Cosrx Overnight Honey Moisturising mask. It even sounds soothing! Give the gift of nourished and cared for skin with this product and give someone a good skin day.
Evolve Pomegranate Perfection Gift Set
It isn’t just our skincare routines that change at this time of year, our body care needs to change too. Evolve have created the perfect Body Bliss Duo set to do just that. The set features both Tropical Blossom Body Polish and Body Butter to nourish and care for the skin. Pampering sessions are a must at this time of year so a gift like this is a win-win.
Echor End of Day Candle & Pillow Spray
The Echor ethos is that tomorrow starts tonight and so they have created a range of products designed to encourage and aid a good night sleep. Being well-rested and getting enough sleep is vital for our well-being. Give the gift of R&R in the shape of the End of Day Candle and Pillow Spray from Echor. Both are created with essential oils and soothing lavender to create a calm and stress-free environment leaving us to wake to feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Daisy London Stacking Rings
You really can’t go wrong when gifting jewellery in my opinion. Yes, it is very personal but if you know what that special someone likes it makes a wonderful gift. One of my favourite brands is Daisy London. Mix and match with their gorgeous selection of rings, perfect for wearing alone or stacking. They come in a great range of styles, colours and materials so there is something for everyone.
Jo Malone Perfume
A bottle of perfume is a real fail-safe gift for anyone. Jo Malone is one of my personal favourite brands to gift and they’re so beautifully presented too. The colognes come in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes and at Christmas, the brand launches divine seasonal scents and packaging. There’s nothing better than spying the trademark magnolia gift bag with a hand-tied bow under the Christmas tree.
Elizabeth Scarlett Pouch
You can never have too many pretty things and they don’t come much prettier than the beautiful designs by Elizabeth Scarlett. Makeup bags and pouches come in handy for an abundance of things and much like pretty things, you can never have too many makeup bags or pouches either if you ask me. The Constellation collection is my favourite and I love that the everyday pouch features an embroidered Star sign for a touch of personalisation. They have various matching items if you didn’t want to stop there.
Cashmere Socks
Feet are always the first place to feel the chill and can often feel constantly cold at this time of year. Cashmere is the gold standard when it comes to luxury knitwear. Level up the humble gift of socks by making the socks cashmere.
Choc On Choc Chocolates
Christmas and chocolate go hand-in-hand if you ask me so you can’t skip on the chocolate goodness around the holidays. Choc on Choc has some of the most adorable Christmas chocolate to give something a little more special. There’s something for all chocolate lovers.
Bath & Body Works
When it comes to body care and candles no one does it better than Bath and Body Works for me. I’m so delighted Next have brought my favourite body care brand to the U.K. and my days of stuffing my suitcase and everyone else’s are over when visiting the States.
Mini Gift Set Edit
One of my favourite things about the festive season is without doubt the gift sets. They’re a great value way of getting more bang for your buck and we all love that. Sets are often beautifully presented too and they’re a great option to treat yourself because why not? Ark Skincare has a fab selection of gifts from across their product range, so you’re guaranteed to find the ideal gift. The Mini duo sets are a great way to sample products without committing to full-size. Their Skin Essentials Hero Collection is a great set filled with skincare suitable for everyone. You could build your own gift with individual items too and include the Spa Rose Travel Candle, Intensive Hand and Nail Treatment and Ark Headband.
Moving onto body care treats now and Nivea has some great gift sets to nourish the body from head to toe. Their Pampering Indulgence and Hydrate Yourself are gorgeous sets suitable for anyone. Finally, Grace Cole have the loveliest sets too and they’re packaged in beautiful cases that double up as a great travel pouch.
