Christmas Crackers
Kind Oils, £12.50
If sacks aren’t your loved one’s thing, try these crackers instead. They make the perfect finishing touch to the bottom of a Christmas tree. Take your pick of mini products that guarantee to have the receiver’s skin nourished and glowing.
Gua Sha
Deluxe Skin, £15
Gua Shas and other face massage tools have gone viral on TikTok and Instagram and for good reason. They help to sculpt, tone and define the natural features on your face while massaging all the tension that clenched jaws and furrowed brows cause. Gua Shas work by encouraging lymphatic drainage resulting in more toned and firmer skin. If that wasn’t enough, they also boost collagen and improve the effectiveness of skincare products by properly massaging them into the face. Any skincare lover will love this tool - you can also choose from a variety of different colours and materials including rose quartz, amethyst and stainless steel.
Dermaplaning Razors
About the Glow, £17
Another viral skincare trend is dermaplaning. Exfoliate and remove unwanted hair and peach fuzz with these razors to help skincare products better absorb, smooth complexion, even skin tone and clear pores to say the least. They might seem scary but any skincare lover will be excited to get to it!
Soy Candles
Jeune, £10
Normal candles are out and soy candles are in as they’re non-toxic, produce insignificant amounts of soot and product no carcinogens. These candles make the perfect gift to go in any skincare pamper hamper or to stuff any stocking as you can choose the shape, colour and scent that you know the receiver will love. They also burn 50% longer than paraffin candles so it’s just a sensible financial decision. Not to mention, with the cost of bills these days, we could all do with some more candles.
Scalp Massager
Boucleme, £12
Promote hair growth by boosting circulation, remove dead skin for a healthier scalp and a get salon level massage at home? Yes please. To be used in the shower with shampoo, one of these scalp massagers will fit seamlessly into the gift receiver’s life as it doesn’t take any extra time, but does take pressure off the fingers.
Gifts under £30

Couple's Relaxation Box

DIY Bath Bomb Kit
Natural Beauty Pot, £36
If in doubt, DIY gifts. They never fail as they’re a fun activity that you get something out of! Not only do they then know exactly what’s going into the Bath Bomb, the sense of accomplishment will make that bath even more relaxing. This kit creates approximately 12 bath bombs, making it truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Silk Eye Mask
Silk Works London, £35
Last but certainly not least, a silk eye mask will be sure to be loved by anyone who receives it. The silk helps to naturally hydrate, encourage sleep due to the blackout effect while eliminating the fine lines around the eyes from the pillowcase so they will wake feeling and looking revitalised and refreshed. This one comes in loads of colours too.
Let us know if you buy any of these and have a Merry Christmas!
