Beauty
The cult-favourite beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury has lots of standalone makeup products, kits or gift sets for you this holiday season. Like the much-loved 'Pillow Talk' shade, now available in a kit, or if you have a lower budget, you can get the PT lipstick in a mini size housed in a bauble. It doesn't get prettier than this! The lipstick will suit all skin tone and is a lovely shade for both daytime and night time occasion. You cannot go wrong!
Product recommendations: Pillow Talk Lip Cheat and/or Lipstick; Beautifying Lip and Cheek Secrets gift set; Pillow Talk Bauble
Elemis (20% off: ELEMIS20O4A3)
I am obsessed with this British skincare brand that specialises in anti-aging skincare. Loved by many celebrities, their products are on the luxury side but proven to be well-worth the money. Their products are blended with natural ingredients such as essential oils so most of them have aromatherapy benefits, too. If your loved one is a skincare-lover, then they will love their cleansing balm which is all over the internet - it is a lovely daily cleanser, makeup remover but also can be left on for 10 minutes as a face mask to give you ultra-soft, hydrated, glowing complexion. Plus, they have lots of gift sets available for you to gift the gift of healthier skin.
Product recommendations: Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (original or rose); Superfood Facial Oil; Balancing Toner
Manucurist (15% off: CinmiFlash)
If your loved one is obsessed with getting their nails done, then Manucurist 'Green Flash' range will be a massive game changer. Dries with a LED lamp like a gel polish, lasts unto 10 days, but removes in just 1-minute. Unlike gel, which its removal process is lengthy (up to half an hour sometimes), this 12-free, clean French manicure brand is here to help them save time and money. No more salon trips!
Evolve Beauty is a B-Corp that creates natural and organic skincare products that are of course leaping bunny-approved and vegan. As far as gifts go, this brand ticks all of the boxes, don’t you think?
Right now, their gift sets and stocking fillers are under a 3-for-2 offer, too!
My recommendation is the 'Feel Good Facial Set' which is worth £90 but retails for £65 and is part of the 3-for-2 offer too. It has 5 items for everything that you need for a night in/ pamper rituals. It comes in a lovely teal gift box that is so presentable and makes people happy to unbox.
Roccabox (10% off: CinmiDoesMakeup)
Not only Roccabox does a monthly subscription service, but they also have curated limited edition boxes that are always worth more than its retail price. Why not surprise your loved one with a gifted subscription for them to continue to receive a monthly beauty box or gift them a one-off box this Christmas? These limited edition boxes are all presented in a cute, white box that is gifting ready. Don't know what your loved one likes in beauty or skincare? These boxes will give them the perfect opportunity to trial new brands out.
Recommendation: Christmas Box; Frank Body Box
Self-care/ Well-being
Awesome Botanical (15% off: Cinmi)
Is your loved one constantly stressed? Do they believe in the power of aromatherapy? AB is a small business based in the North East. They create handmade bath and body products using essential oils and natural ingredients (e.g. Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter). The products range from bath bombs, whipped soaps, body scrub, lip balms, hand creams, soaps and many more. Why not get a gift box or a few small stocking fillers for your loved ones to have a relaxing night in? Recommended range: Sweet Dreams (lavender and bergamot - my favourite blend ever!)
Our Remedy (£10 off: Cinmi10)
CBD oil used to be a taboo, but I swear it has helped me with my period cramps and migraine so much. I have been a customer for two years and advocate to de-stigmatise the misconception that it will get you hight. No worries, it doesn't have THC or it will not be able to be sold in the UK. Apart from CBD oil, they also do supplements such as Magnesium, Probiotics and more to help with your general health and they aren't just for women. They also have their 'Oh My Flo' adaptogenic tea for women's cycle. If your loved ones suffer from period pain, anxiety, mood swings, trouble sleeping, hormone imbalance, check them out!

G & T o'clock! Every month for £43, CGC sends a box of goodies straight to my doorstep. It has a full size bottle of a craft gin, garnish, tonic pairing, ingredients to make two cocktails, and snacks. The content is always worth more than £43. If your loved one is a gin lover, then definitely need to gift them this subscription!
Can't find the perfect Christmas card? Or wrapping paper? Ohh Deer works with independent artists to have the most unique cards (birthdays, new home, new baby etc) for you to pick from. Plus, they do subscription services too, like their craft box 'Artful' where it has everything for you to learn a new skill. Or if your loved one loves a good notebook/ pencil/ diary/ daily planner... anything stationery-related, Ohh Deer got your back!
I love my home smelling good. I think most people do too! R & T creates cute and fun soy wax melts as well as candles and home fragrance. They will make fab stocking fillers, don't you think? Plus, you will be supporting a small UK business.
HAPPY SHOPPING! If you decide to get any of my suggestions then please do tag me in your posts, I'd love to see your haul!
