By Sarah Ilston
Long gone are the days when starting your Christmas shopping meant trawling your local high street and wrestling with fellow shoppers. Now, not only can everything be done online from the comfort of your own home, but thanks to retailers such as Boots, you can find everything you're looking for in one place.
Swiftly becoming the go-to destination for all things beauty over the past few years, Boots currently stocks hundreds of makeup, wellness and skincare brands, making it a one-stop shop for your festive present haul. Perfect for friends and relatives alike, you’ll have no problem picking up a gift from the exclusive range of Christmas beauty sets available — especially as many of the brands, from Ted Baker to Champneys, are part of the 3 for 2 Christmas Mix and Match offer* where you get the cheapest item free.
Here are eight thoughtful beauty gift ideas guaranteed to bring the sparkle back to Christmas this year.
This luxury gift set is sure to win brownie points with any makeup lover. The exclusive collection contains an eyeshadow compact, mascara, primer, eyeshadow brush and eyebrow pencil — the perfect all-in-one kit for a new year night out!
For the stressed-out friend in need of some serious pampering, this thoughtful bath-time gift set is a great way to show you care. Containing its signature ‘calm’ and ‘slumber’ bubble bath formulae, as well as some soothing bath salts, each product has been designed to ignite inner peace as you lather up.
Ideal for the loved one prone to chapped lips, this delicious Joules lip balm set contains not one, but three pots of honey, elderflower and blackberry — so they can flip between options, depending on their mood.
Give the gift of fragrance with this luxuriously-scented Pomegranate candle, containing heavenly notes of jasmine, pink pepper and Sandalwood undertones. It looks as good as it smells.
For the friend in need of some serious TLC, this cosy gift set — made up of a nourishing floral body soufflé and 100% cotton floral print PJ bottoms — is everything you'll need for the perfect night in.
For the glamour puss who loves a perfect pout, look no further than this lip trio kit. It contains a nourishing balm, a soft pink lipstick to make a statement this season and a matching lip gloss to seal the look — all for under £15 and part of the Boots 3 for 2 Christmas Mix and Match deal of course.
If you're picking out a present for someone who'd rather spend time in the bath than out on the town, then this nifty bath bomb set is sure to be a winner.
Simply drop into warm running water and watch the fragranced bath eggs fizz away — leaving behind luscious scents of wild fig, white flowers, rose, bergamot, clementine and florals.
Have a festive gathering lined up and in need of a failsafe Secret Santa gift? The White Collection's deluxe hand care duo contains an Indian Island hand wash and lotion — both fragranced with gorgeous, heady notes of warm vanilla, coconut and sweet orange — to help soothe tired palms.
