As the last chapter of this year’s Christmas gift series, I’ve decided to highlight a selection of skincare and body care presents. Body care items tend to be straightforward to pick out, while skincare gifts require a bit more consideration. That’s why I wanted to offer some inspiration and share my top gift sets for Christmas 2017! Check out the rest of my Christmas Gift Guides HERE!
SKINCARE GIFT IDEAS
Origins Let Us Glow Christmas Set BUY NOW £29.00 When curating the skincare gift sets for this post, I knew Origins had to be included. It’s such a lovely brand, and whether your recipient is already familiar with it or not, they’re bound to enjoy the products—they smell divine (the Ginzing range has a fresh orange scent!) and work well for most skin types. I chose this set because it offers fantastic value: you get two 50ml products and two minis. In fact, the Origins Ginzing Gel Moisturiser 50ml alone retails for £25! The set also comes beautifully packaged in a gift box with a generous plum-colored canvas wash bag. For the price, I truly believe this is a wonderful gift to give or receive this Christmas!
Luxury Skincare Treats Cracker BUY NOW £21.90 Another charming option is this Skincare Treats Christmas cracker from Feel Unique. Inside, you’ll find four generous sample-size products from Philosophy, Caudalie, Filorga, and Omorovicza, valued at £55! The recipient also gets a unique code for 20% off any of the featured brands—a nice added bonus. It’s a delightful way for someone to sample a few luxury skincare items, especially the dreamy Omorovicza Rejuvenating Night Cream, which comes in a hefty glass jar.
Gatineau Gentle Silk Cleansing Collection BUY NOW £25.00 Next, I wanted to feature a classic skincare gift set—you know the kind: beautifully presented, substantial, and packed with full-size products that feel like a truly special Christmas present. I picked this Gatineau cleansing set, which includes three 200ml items: a Gentle Silk Eye Makeup Remover, Gentle Silk Cleanser, and Gentle Silk Toner, plus an ultra-soft cleansing cloth in a reusable travel zip-lock pouch. Since each product normally retails for £20.50, this set is another exceptional value, looking far more expensive than its £25 price tag. I can imagine many mums, aunties, and skincare enthusiasts being thrilled to unwrap this on Christmas morning!
Lancome Renergie Multi-Lift Set BUY NOW £55.80Sticking with the classic Christmas skincare theme, I wanted to showcase this stunning Lancôme gift—it’s truly impressive and, in my opinion, reasonably priced. Consider that the Lancôme Renergie Multi-Lift Light Cream in the set costs £67 on its own! So not only do you save by buying the cream as part of this set, but you also receive the matching night cream in a 15ml size and two mini pipette-style products. All housed in a gorgeous rose gold gift box featuring a lovely Eiffel Tower design. This is perfect for Lancôme fans—whether someone already loves their fragrances but hasn’t ventured into their skincare, or someone who will feel completely pampered adding Lancôme skincare to their collection.
BODYCARE
Korres Oh Little Stars Gift Set BUY NOW £10.00Moving on to body care, I’ve picked a lovely ‘try me’ style set from Korres. Over the past two years, I’ve become a big fan of Korres shower gels—they rival Molton Brown body washes in my opinion. So when I spotted this festive set with two shower gel and two body milk minis, I knew I had to include it. I’m not only obsessed with the golden, ultra-festive packaging, but the Japanese Rose and Basil Lemon scents smell incredible—definitely not cheap! At this price, it’s a wonderful stocking filler that might just get your recipient hooked on Korres products!
Soap & Glory Wash Upon A Star BUY NOW £8.50 For me, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a Soap & Glory gift set! Though small, this set comes with S&G’s signature fun packaging and would make a cute gift for anyone who enjoys the brand or shower products in general. Inside, you’ll find 9 new and playful body wash pods—single-use, in three different S&G scents: Original Pink, Sugar Crush (very zesty!), and Smoothie Star (the yummiest shower product!). A fun extra gift!
Elemis Body Beautiful The Sea Lavender & Samphire Experience BUY NOW £27.50 Last but not least, I wanted to feature a gift from Elemis, as their body care products are just as impressive as their skincare but often overlooked. Inside a lovely Elemis-branded teal blue drawstring bag, you receive two full-size products—Sea Lavender & Samphire Bath & Shower Milk and Sea Lavender & Samphire Body Cream—saving around £13. Though Sea Lavender was a new scent to me, I was pleasantly surprised by its refreshing and uplifting aroma—not too strong, rather linen-like and clean, a scent most people would enjoy. Another fabulous set with great savings.
I truly hope you’ve enjoyed this year’s gift guide posts and found them useful. Of course, there will be plenty more festive content coming soon! Fee xo.
