Yes, yes it really is almost Christmas. How? We have no idea. But after months of lockdown it feels nice to have a real life celebration on the horizon. But rather than waste your precious freedom on retail queues you can shop for the entire family right here, and then use your time for more important things (like cocktail hour). Read on for our expertly curated Christmas gift guide for the whole family.
For Dad: If socks and jocks are your go-to it might be time to mix it up. A little grooming goodness will up the ante from his usual bar of Imperial Leather, and make him feel special. If he’s got a beard, there’s nothing more fancy-feeling than the Badger Balm Beard Grooming Kit. But if he’s more of a basics man, you could start him off with his own moisturiser, like this Face Oil Complex from Ingredients. If that’s all a bit too much, how about just upgrading his sunscreen, to Surf Mud Mineral Sunscreen.
For Mum: She’s the one that often gets overlooked, and the one who needs the pampering the most. Look after Mum this Christmas with a beautiful skin-loving treat, like this Natural Serum, or a stunning, scented candle like this Candle that’s just for her.
For the Little Miss: Niece? Neighbour? Daughter? If there’s a tween in your life you can sure as heck become her favourite this Christmas with beauty treats that are both cool and age-appropriate. This Mini Cuticle Oil from Blossom, is infused with real dried flowers for extra cute factor, introduce her to the world of signature scents with this Demeter Fragrance Library Lavender Cologne.
For your Sister: Winning sister of the year is easier than you think. Gift her some relaxation with these luxe soaks from Tokyo Milk. Or, if you really want to go all-out, this Urban Apothecary Notorious Neroli Diffuser will have you permanently in the good books.
For Granny: Just because she’s 90 doesn’t mean nana doesn’t like soft hands. A beautiful, luxe hand cream is a never-fail gift so get amongst these favourites and make granny’s Christmas. Lollia Always in Rose Hand Cream, or the Tokyo Milk Let Them Eat Cake Hand Cream.
For the Husband: It doesn’t matter how rugged a bloke he is, every guy secretly loves a self care routine (we know because our products go mysteriously missing all the time). Set up him with his own grooming kit so he can keep his mitts off yours. Noosa Basics is a great place to start. Complete the routine with some After Shave Oil, and a new fragrance like Bleu Perfume Oil, and you’re good to go.
For that kooky Aunt: Every family has one. You know the one whose clothes have a distinctive art teacher vibe and who always wears handmade earrings? No regular hand cream will do for this aunt… she needs something unique. Demeter's Turpentine Cologne Spray is a unique gift.
The backup gift (for that person you totally forgot about): Someone unexpected popped around on Christmas Day? Your co-worker rocks up to work with a gift? This is why you need the backup gift that doesn’t cost a bomb, but is a total crowd pleaser. A lush packaged soap is just the ticket, because, well, everyone needs to shower, right? Bold, Bright, Beautiful Soap or Smelly Balls, Reusable Car Freshner.
