When it comes to gifts, I think it’s always nice to look out for things that you might not normally buy for yourself; luxuries, extra special everyday items and fragrances as they offer up a nice little a reminder of the person who gifted them each time they’re used. With that in mind, at this time of year you’re probably on the hunt for the best beauty gifts for family, friends and loved ones. From fun beauty crackers to beautifully packaged limited editions, there are some really special finds out there; and not only will the recipient enjoy using them, beauty gifts will encourage them to take a little time out from their busy lives for some me-time, too. My selection process is to look for gifts I can imagine handing to my very best friends, so look away now if you’re expecting a surprise from me!

Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lipstick: The VB Edit

So many lipstick collections feature bold and bright colours – and while there’s nothing wrong with this, I always gravitate toward nude lip colours. When it comes to neutral lip colour collections, they don’t come more gorgeous than Victoria Beckham’s Posh trio of Spice, Pout and Pose.

Jo Malone London Christmas Cracker 

Featuring three cute minis from this cult brand, if you really want to push the boat out, set these out on the dinner table for everyone. This contains Honeysuckle & Davana Cologne (9ml), English Pear & Freesia Body & Hand Wash (15ml) and Grapefruit Body Crème (15ml); divine!
