Beauty Bible's Christmas Gift Guide – Part One: Up to £25

We have been known to start our Christmas shopping at the start of the year – but that’s missing a trick, beauty-wise, because so many gorgeous gifts launch for the festive season. We’ll be running our guides in ‘episodes’, starting with great finds under £25. And as ever: we only feature products that we’d love, love, love to receive ourselves. End of.

Erborian My Glowy Carousel (Doré). If there was a beauty buzzword that sums up 2021, it’s ‘glow’ – and Erborian are the whizzes, at helping us create that. In a cute carousel box, find a dinky size of their Beauty Bible Award-winning CC Cream, together with the does-what-it-says-on-the-pack Glow Shot Mask. (This is going to come in handy on New Year’s Day, the way we intend to party!)

The Herb Almanac by The Chelsea Physic Garden. There’s such a buzz about herbs at the moment, both as ingredients in skincare and as remedies for our aches and ills. Nobody knows more about their heritage, usage and how to grow them than the Chelsea Physic Garden (also: one of our favourite places to visit), and that wisdom’s captured in this very lovely bedside book.

Gardening gloves are not all created equal, but these are top notch, wth their adjustable wrist straps to ensure they stay put – a perfect gift for a green-fingered friend, who’ll also love to slather on the shea butter-based hand cream (also featuring pink clay and vitamin E), with its fresh but cosy scent, including notes of honeysuckle and amber.

Elizabeth Scarlett Suns & Moons Make-up Bag. Tapping into the design trend for all things celestial, a gorgeous embroidered make-up bag from a company we often buy from as gifts for friends and #fam, loving the rich embroidery and the quality of the finish.
