Gifts galore

by Sarah-Jane

Christmas isn’t Christmas without a gift set. One of my earliest memories is receiving my first Body Shop pink grapefruit gift basket. I can remember lining up the bubble bath, shower gel and grapefruit shaped soap in pride of place in the bathroom and being on the verge of tears when my brothers would use the pearl bath bombs as catapult ammunition. Not surprisingly, my tastes have developed as I’ve got older and although my love for the Body Shop gift sets stay strong and true this year I will be asking Santa for the following.


First on my list is DKNY’s Delicious night women gift set, £35 (available nationwide), it contains the fragrance and the body lotion. Not only does this look gorgeous in its seductive dark purple tin, but it smells gorgeous too. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your LBD this party season.



Next is Origins Ginger Days gift set (www.origins.co.uk). I’ve always been a huge fan of Origins, their products are divine and the ginger range smells good enough to eat. The gift set contains the body cream, body wash and the essence and it’s all encased in a recyclable gift box. Plus £1 from every set bought goes to Shelter so I will feel cleansed and pure from the inside out.

Finally I will be hoping that Santa leaves me one of the many fab Soap & Glory sets that are adorning the shelves of Boots this Christmas, my favourite being the Make It Big set, £30. It comes in a gorgeous retro vanity bag, which is filled with some of their amazing skincare products and will hopefully last me until next Christmas.

Until next week, stay beautiful.
