My 2020 Christmas Gift Guide
When it comes to gifting the best advice I have ever received is that you shouldn’t give something you wouldn’t gladly receive. With that in mind here are a few beautiful things I adore and would be delighted to receive also.
If you know someone who loves hosting people at home a voucher for AD Event Design who has a tablescaping service with lots of gorgeous themes to choose from. If you’re hosting a special dinner party at home and want to create a really special atmosphere Annie is fantastic and provides everything from the tablelinen, candles, flowers, custom menus, crockery and glassware. See AD Event Design for more info.
I’ve been a fan of crystals for a long time and it can be hard to source pieces that are both genuine and ethically sourced. Crystal Planets is run by Ali King who is an incredible yoga instructor and someone who truly sees the magic in wellness. She sells crystal jewelery on her site Crystal Planets but it was these amazing Blue Agate coasters that really caught my eye. They are stunningly beautiful and add a touch of colour to your table. See Crystal Planets for her beautiful creations.
Cruelty Free beauty has come a long way as consumers are becoming more conscious about their products. I love that there are some really glam pieces out just in time for Christmas. As a clean, conscious beauty brand, bareMinerals have been working hard behind the scenes to lower their environmental impact and their 2020 holiday collection marks a significant step forward with an assortment of clean beauty sets, which are not just filled with good-for-skin gifts, but are also planet-friendly. They have eliminated unnecessary packaging, incorporated post-consumer recycled materials whenever possible and made our gift boxes completely recyclable. I love the Warmth Eye and Cheek Palette.
I also love Hourglass make up and their Christmas Ambient Lighting palette is so beautiful. They also have an amazing refillable lipstick set with a gorgeous nude and a classic red shade.
Gucci Westman is one of the most famous make up artists in the world. She’s also a lover of clean beauty and wellness and I love following her youtube and instagram for healthy lifestyle tips. Her debut make up range is stunning and luxurious as well as being conscious. The creamy highlight, bronze and blush are my favourites in the range which you can now shop in Brown Thomas.
Codex Beauty have stunning giftsets out for Christmas and my favourite is the Full Cleanse Set which has you need for a skin-friendly, gentle cleanse & hydration from head-to-toe. It includes two best-sellers: the gentle Exfoliating Wash and Skin Superfood and a limited edition Holiday Soap
WellDoubleL candles are stunning. They’re clean and luxurious and the scent is so pure. This clean cannabis candle combines Bulgarian lavender with green mandarin to create a balanced and soft fragrance. Suitable for large rooms to encourage wellness, positivity and calmness. Shop here
I am a very proud ambassador for The ISPCA. The work they do to help our most vulnerable is amazing and supporting them is so important. They have a Shop all year round where you can sponsor or donate to them or buy some lovely toys for your pets, Christmas cards and my current obsession.. jigsaws.
I’m currently 10 days into this 1000 piece one and it’s really enjoyable. It’s lovely to not be looking a screen for a hour or so in the evening and very satisfying when it slowly starts to come together. See ISPCA Shop Here.
I adore Matcha tea and blend it at home with dairy free milk alongside a little Ashwagandha. The Sun Potion range is exclusive to The Clean Beauty Edit and the quality is phenomenal. You can shop all the products >Here< and code Holly10 gives you 10% off.
This is the year so much move to online and like many I’ve found my eyes getting tired of too much screen time. The Ambr Eyewear glasses block blue light and help reduce eyestrain. They would make a thoughtful gift for the screen fatigued. Shop >here<
When it comes to beauty essentials that are easy to gift Muslin cloths and reusable cotton pads are a lovely idea. I use mine all the time and not only are they convenient, they also minimise single use wipes and cotton wool. I also love the Evolve Beauty Body oil and the Innersence Hair Love spray which is a great allrounder for all hair types. Shop >Here< and use Code Holly10 for discount.
HolderEight make the most gorgeous yoga mats I’ve ever seen. They’re strong and durable too. They also have gorgeous organic cotton jumpers. I have one in Black which I wear all the time and recently got one in red which is so uplifting. Their pieces are made to last and timelessly beautiful. Shop >Here<
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and hope the above provided some inspiration!
Lots of love,
Holly x
