Day 1: The Gift Of Gift Sets
‘Tis the season to be jolly and the time to start getting those Christmas gift lists all wrapped up! If the thought of hitting the shops sends you into a mild state of panic (we feel ya!) then worry not as we’re officially kicking off the Birchbox 12 Days Of Gifting today! First up, the ultimate beauty gift; The Gift Set…
Ah, the gift set. The ticks-all-your-boxes-how-can-you-not-love-it mode of gifting that never fails to please. Top of our list is one of the beautiful limited edition sets from Trilogy. Not only are the products amazing, but they all come nestled within a beautiful, reusable box; simply slide off the sleeve and pop it under the Christmas tree! Skincare buffs will adore the Rosapene™ Skincare Sensations kit – it includes a FULL SIZE Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+ alongside deluxe samples of the Vital Moisturising Cream and Eye Contour Cream to delivery everything needed for beautiful, glowing skin. If you’re wary of gifting facial skincare then the Botanical Beauties duo is equally charming – it contains a FULL SIZE of Trilogy’s star product, the Certified Organic Rosehip Oil, and a limited edition size of the refreshing Botanical Body Wash to leave skin soothed and smelling great!
To give the gift of indulgence, we don’t think you can do any better than something from Aromatherapy Associates. Not only are they packaged beautifully (meaning you can skip the wrapping paper!) but it’s also the perfect way to give friends and family a pampering treat. The Bath Jewels and Relaxing Bath Box both contain a trio of miniature Bath & Shower Oils in different fragrances designed to help you unwind, rejuvenate, and de-stress, plus the Bath Box also has the added bonus of the Relax Body Wash included! Another honourable mention has to be for Caudalie and their Divine Indulgence Set. We can’t get enough of their luxurious dry oil (use it on the body, hair and nails, or in the bath!) and this set contains not one, but two of them! Heaven.
Looking for a more purse-friendly option? Korres has an amazing selection of gift sets for under £20; a great option for friends or last-minute Secret Santa gifts! We love the Pamper Me Up Set which contains a mixture of products for body, hands, lips AND face for top-to-toe pampering. Alongside the sumptuous Guava Body Butter, there’s a Nourishing Hand Cream packed with almond oil and shea butter, a deluxe sample of the Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturiser and a soothing Mandarin Lip Butter Stick in Rose.
