It’s that time of the year again where all the gifts guides are out, every year I used to go into town to excitedly pick up the Boots Christmas brochure before making my list. In the more recent years, I have just gone through the online guides and my list has become considerably smaller. This year I have done away with the list completely and instead I am sharing some of my favourite picks from what I have seen whilst browsing x
Neom Organics Scent To Instantly De-Stress Real Luxury Intensive Skin Treatment candle looks incredible. The candle is 100% natural, made with 24 essential oils including lavender, jasmine and Brazilian rosewood. This would be perfect for lighting to have a relaxing soak in the bath. After it has been lit for 30 minutes and you are ready to get out of the bath, blow the candle out and wait 2 minutes before pouring the wax over your skin for an intensive skin treatment. £36 x
I love Sanctuary products, I think they smell fabulous and instantly relax me. The Sanctuary Relax, Breathe and #letgo gift set is £45, it is in the 3 for 2 offer in Boots but I also predict that this could be one of the star gifts during the run up to Christmas. I bought a similar set last year for £22 instead of the original price of £45. This set includes;
Luxury Signature Votive Candles x 3
Sumptuously Soft Headband
Sumptuously Soft Inflatable Bath Pillow
Foaming Creamy Bath Soak 250ml
Gentle Polish Body Scrub 200ml
Cleansing Burst Body Wash 250ml
Luxurious Body Butter 300ml
Joules Ready For The Weekend Bag. I have never used Joules toiletries before but I love this bag. This is £45 and is in the 3 for 2 offer in Boots and Joules. A similar set was a Boots star gift last year, being reduced from £45 to £22. The set includes;
Joules designed floral print shoulder bag, measuring approx 36 x 36 x 11cm

I was first introduced into the world of Liz Earle by D’s mum and I love it. The Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser Pink Pepper & Mint Limited Edition sounds great for a winter facial. The mint will refresh whilst the pink pepper warms the skin. A 150ml pump and 2 muslin cloths is £20.75 x
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume needs very little introduction. A unique blend of intense freshness and lightness, 50ml of eau de toilette spray is approximately £55 x
I love having fresh flowers in the house and receiving them never fails to make me smile. Bloom & Wild send flowers that fit perfectly packaged through your letter box to arrange. They also send hand tied flowers that are already arranged ready for you to pop in a vase. You can order one off bouquets or regular subscriptions. A three month subscription of a monthly seasonal letterbox bouquet is £55. You can also subscribe to their newsletter and get a code for 10% off your order x
Monty Bojangles Towering Dusted Truffle Gift, £9. I haven’t tasted the nutty or scotch truffles but I bought D the choccy scoffy truffles for his birthday and they are just heavenly. They are deliciously rich and you get a lot more in the box than I expected. I just wish we lived near to the Monty Bojangles Truffle Bar to try all of Montys creations x
Benefit How To Look The Best At Everything Make Up Kit includes the POREfessional PRO balm to minimise the appearance of pores, hello flawless oxygen wow brightening makeup, 2 boi-ing industrial-strength concealers and hello flawless! custom powder cover-up. I just wish it had a mini mascara included in the kit as well. The kit costs £25.50, if you purchase 3 selected benefit products online at Boots, you receive a free gift at the moment x
Benefit Sweet BADitude is a full size and mini size of the BADgal mascara. I love this mascara, it lengthens and thickens my lashes without any clumps. It is £18.50 for the set or £17.50 for the full size alone. I think the mini is ideal for keeping in your handbag x
Celtic & Co Aqualamb Sheepskin Boots, available in regular and calf height. The regular ones are £145, they are handmade in Cornwall and treated to make them water resistant. Perfect for keeping feet warm and dry in the English Autumn/Winter x
John Rocha Purple Floral Pyjama Set from Debenhams look comfy and stylish for £28 x
