Anabel’s Guide to Holiday Gifting
From grand gestures to thoughtful tokens, here our CEO and owner Anabel Kindersley shares her gift ideas for loved ones this Holiday season. Follow along for festive inspiration.
For my skincare-loving best friend
“The Frankincense Intense™ Collection is a complete must for skincare gifting – I love it as it works, and I know it will make my friends feel gorgeous.
I usually like to gift my friends the Age-Well Collection, so that they have a complete routine – and it includes my favorite Frankincense Intense™ Triple Action Melting Cleanser. I love to think that we are all doing the same skincare routine, wherever we may be.”
For my daughter
“She loves her skin to glow and just a couple of drops of Vitamin C gives her the boost she needs – in fact I know she loves all the skincare boosters so I might add another in too. She loves the Rehydrating Rose Facial Wash, and I’m also thinking of giving her a Wild Rose Glow Day Cream as she hasn’t tried it, but I know she’ll love it.
As a chef her days are often very busy meaning she likes to spend her evenings winding down. To help her relax, I’ll pick up an Aromatic Foaming Bath, I know she loves this.”
For the women in my life
“At this time of year when we could all do with some self-care, the Women’s Balance Collection is a real pick-me-up. It’s become a cult favorite between my friends, and I know some of them even use the aromatherapy blend as a fragrance.”
For my mother
“She’s incredibly minimalist, and never asks for much but she loves a warm bath at the end of the day, so I’ll definitely include a Seaweed & Arnica Foaming Bath to help soothe and support her muscles.
I also take Christmas as an opportunity to stock her up on her absolute go-to, Wild Rose Beauty Balm. This one-pot-wonder is perfect for her in every way, it’s her moisturizer, face mask and cleanser!”
For my son
“At Christmas I like to stock him up with his favorite skincare products. He particularly likes the Sensitive Restore & Smooth Serum, so I’ll be sure to tuck that under the tree for him. He’s also a lover of baths so I think he’ll really appreciate the Restoring Bath Collection this wintertime.
He really enjoys making bespoke blends for his Esta Diffuser, so I will pop a few essential oils in too – maybe the Winter Wonderland blend for the festive season!“
For my mother-in-law
“As a passionate gardener, she’s always working long days outside so I like to gift her something that will really help to soothe her hands. She’s always been a fan of the Morris & Co. prints, so I know she will really like the Morris & Co. English Lavender & Calendula Hand Care Duo.
I’ll also be gifting her an Arnica Salve, it’s ideal for soothing muscles after a long day in the garden!”
For the friend always on the go
“You can’t gift peace and quiet, but an evening of aromatherapy and self-care is pretty close! The Moments of Calm Collection is a go-to gift as it includes a full-size Goodnight Pillow Mist – a must for some of my friends – and they know who they are!
For smaller stocking fillers, the Dreamy Nights – A Sleep Duo is a wonderful relaxation ritual, and I love to stock up on these as I never know who might pop in for a visit over the holiday period.“
