Christmas Gift Guide
I have really been struggling with gift ideas this year so after searching high and low for a variety of gifts for friends and family, I have pulled together a short and sweet Christmas gift guide. Below you’ll find a range of prezzy ideas to get you started:
Sanctuary Spa
Who doesn’t love a pamper? Sanctuary Spa have so many gift sets available ranging from under £10 up to £40. My top 2 have to be:
LuxeHand Caddy Duo - A hand wash and hand lotion gift set has never been so needed this year, this one from Sanctuary Spa is vegan friendly and comes with a reuse-able rose gold caddy for any future hand soaps too! The perfect bathroom accessory if you ask me! Top notes of bergamot and citrus, mid notes of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang followed by base notes of vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli, a perfect combination of refreshing, soothing and moisturising.
£12.50 - Available here. [Black Friday deal £9]
Beauty Sleep Journal - For the ones struggling to sleep through the night at the moment and in need of a bit of bedtime wellness to help, this is the perfect gift box set! Glorious sleeping aids included in this set are a pillow spray, face mask, warming muscle balm and a sleep eye mask. With relaxing scents of jasmine, frankincense and peach, to list a few, this box is the perfect sleep remedy for someone you love at Christmas.
£20.00 - Available here. [Black Friday deal £13.95]
Red Letter Days
Treat someone to an experience or a future planned weekend getaway. The ideal gift for that one person who has everything. You can choose an amount you want to spend, pop it on a voucher and allow them to choose from the website what it is they’d like to do. There are so many choices, for the ones who like to relax they can choose from afternoon tea at The Shard, to a cottage stay in Norfolk or if they’re feeling adventurous they have the option to book a bungee jump, go zip lining or even zorbing! The possibilities truly are endless with Red Letter Days.
Slip
Silk Pillow Case - It’s becoming a common problem amongst the mask wearers with unusual breakouts on the face, which is why Slips silk pillow case makes for a perfect gift for someone struggling with their skin at the moment. However not only are they known to improve skin, but also really good for anti-ageing and anti bed hair!
£85 - Available here. [Black Friday deal £68]
They also have silk face masks and hair bands, made from Slipsilk and proven to have changed the lives of so many! Definitely worth checking this brand out for some good gifts to help with skin, hair and ageing this Christmas.
Stila
Ideal treats for makeup lovers. Stila products are cruelty-free and none of Stila's ingredients, formulations, or products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world, as well as all packaging being eco-friendly. A great gift if you ask me. Here’s my top 2 products:
Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick - literally it does and who doesn’t love a powerful red lip over the festive period? Especially if it doesn’t move when drinking bubbles and scoffing mince pies!
£17.00 - Available here. [Black Friday deal £11.90]
Stay All Day Ornament Liquid Eyeliner Black - Laugh proof and tear proof, this eyeliner will not budge a smudge ;) Perfect for the holiday season when we will all be tearing up with laughter at something silly a family member says or does right!!
£16.00 - Available here. [Black Friday deal £11.20]
The Pangaia
Let’s talk loungewear, a thing a lot of us will have been buying more of this year than ever before (myself included). I recently discovered The Pangaia, which in their words describe themselves as a team of “scientists, technologists and designers, creating essential products from innovative tech and bio-engineered materials”. They are a brand to get to know, and they produce the most gorgeous array of colours in their loungewear pieces most of which is made from sustainable and recyclable materials. A higher price point than your average high street loungewear set but a brand worth investing in. Eco conscious loungewear sets. I am down for that!
Hope you’ve enjoyed my mini round up of gifts. Sending festive wishes to you all,
