These are the gifts when money is no object. For someone who’s had an unbelievably tough time, or who’s gone the extra mile, or who is the love of our life. Or maybe, just maybe, the gift we buy ourselves because we know that nobody else is going to nail it. Whatever the reason: these are the gifts that the Beauty Bible team dreams of receiving ourselves…

The Silk Collection The Pure Silk Sleep Set. Imagine the softest, cosiest,, most light-banishing eye mask. Now imagine resting your cheek on cool, smooth silk at night (also, BTW, reducing hair static and potentially helping to prevent wrinkles caused by sleeping on our sides). This kit, however, is no fantasy – and the silk mask and pillowcase duo are available in shades of oyster, pearl white or champagne.

The Best of L’OCCITANE Collection. Featuring all of L’Occitane’s treasured bestsellers, in one keepsake box, from Almond Shower Oil and Almond Milk Concentrate to Shea Butter Hand Cream and Foot Cream – and more, many of them Beauty Bible Award-winners, of course. An absolute crowd-pleaser.

Emma Hardie Essential Luxury Collection. Many of the kits featured in our series of gift guides actually offer amazing value, compared to the normal retail price of products – and this is no exception, with generous travel sizes of many facialist-created skincare treats – mask, cleanser, facial oil, tonic and moisturiser – plus the mirrored lip balm we’re so crazy for.

Diptyque Basile Lantern Limited Edition. How gorgeous is this? Light your candle (it fits any Diptyque 190g size), and the lantern gently rotates, making beautiful shadows on your wall. A real Christmas talking point.

Balance Me Dawn to Dusk Set. We love that Balance Me have stowed this kit in a simple calico bag, inside which you’ll find many of their bestsellers (and again, Award-winners): the Pre and Probiotic Cleansing Milk and (matching) Radiance Cream, Vitamin C Repair Serum, Wonder Eye Cream and Rose Otto Facial Oil. The value’s actually £84 so you’ll seem even more generous than you are!

FitFlop Chrissie Pom-Pom Felt Slippers. What can we say? We have these ourselves, and don’t expect to take them off between now and April, really. Great for standing up and prepping the Christmas dinner for hours, without ending up with foot pain! (We speak from happy-footed personal experience.)

Temple Spa Absolute Truffle Collection. Skin Truffle was for many years the highest-scoring age-defying product we’d ever trialled, and is still a wonder of the beauty world. It’s now been joined by lots of other ‘Truffles’ – for eyes, a gilded mask, etc. – all showcased here in a cute keepsake box.

Sarah Chapman Platinum Meso-Melt Infusion System, Microneedling Facial Roller & Serum. For the SERIOUS skincare nerd, from a SERIOUS superfacialist, a kit including ampoules and a facial roller as the next best thing to Sarah Chapman’s own magic fingers.

Green & Spring Spa Edition Hamper Gift Set. And r-e-l-a-x – which happens to be the name of this particular kit, stowed in a wicker hamper and promising to waft you to a state of bliss with the fusion of petitgrain, lavender, thyme and rosemary in the trio of Bath & Body Wash, Hand Cream and Hand Wash.

Aromatherapy Associates Moments to Treasure. The ultimate. The most amazing. The show-stopper. Really, there are no words to describe how fabulous this three layer kit from Aromatherapy Associates is, showcasing ALL their bestsellers (again, so many of them winners of our Awards): the famed Bath & Shower Oils (yes, Deep Relax features, in a full size!), a body brush, candle, body unguents and oils and generally, what we reckon amounts to a year of pampering.

£225 - buy here

Gucci Westman Atelier The Gift Edition. From the ‘cult’ make-up artist’s range, a limited edition Lip Suede compact featuring four shades in one (very inclusive, with something for every skintone), plus a Lit Up Highlight Stick, in a classy box with a gorgeous bow. GOD WE LOVE A BOW.

Wildsmith Spa in a Jar Biocompostable Gift. Wildsmith is one of the brands embracing sustainability at many different levels, here packaging their goodies – the legendary Active Repair Nourishing Cleansing Balm, together with Radiance Polisher (plus a muslin mitt) – in a gift box that’s entirely compostable. Fact is, most gift boxes CAN’T even be recycled because of a film on the surface – and there’s a limit to how many boxes we can stash in our cupboards, waiting to be upcycled or reused. The solution? Let it biodegrade, instead! (But actually, do buy this for the fab skincare inside, too.)
