If you have any skincare fanatic friends or family, then Skincare by Caroline Hirons is a must-buy. Written by the queen of all things skincare, the book is a no-nonsense guide for anyone wanting to up their skincare game. It’s a big book and a steal at only £8 on Amazon right now.

If luxe pamper products are more what you’re looking for, then REN’s ‘Best of Beauty’ set* is the perfect option. This gift set, which costs £22, contains four travel-sized products from REN’s gorgeous Moroccan Rose and Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium ranges – two body moisturisers and two body washes. You really can’t go wrong with this set and I love that REN donate £1 of every gift set sold to Planet Patrol, to keep our oceans clean. Some more really luxurious pampering treats that would make great gifts are the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Hydrating Body Lotion and Body Wash*. Rich in vitamins and scented with frankincense and myrrh, both are really hydrating and make a lovely gift.

If beauty gadgets are more up your giftee’s street, then the PMD Clean* is a smart facial cleansing device that operates with over 7,000 vibrations per minute to firm and tone the skin, as well as deep cleansing and minimising the appearance of pores and blackheads. It’s £89, leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean and is available in a range of different colours. For green beauty lovers, Antipodes’ Skin-Brightening Manuka Honey Beehive Box* set is a real treat, with three full-size products from the Manuka Honey range: a mask, eye cream and day dream. Each product is super creamy and leaves skin feeling amazing, as well as looking extra glowy.

For makeup fans looking for the ultimate glitzy palette, the Huda Beauty Gold Obsessions palette is incredible. As soon as I saw this I just had to buy it! For £27 you get nine gorgeous shades, many of which are super glittery. Beautifully pigmented, if you’re wondering what to get your friend who loves glitz and glam, this has got to be it. Eylure lashes are another great treat for the lash lovers in your life – this luxe 3D faux mink pair are really affordable and a perfect little stocking filler.

I had to include an anti-ageing skincare set in my beauty lover gift guide as I feel like it’s one of those go-to products for mums and older relatives, but actually, it’s something I’ve been thinking about more lately too, after turning 30. The IT Cosmetics Celebrate Your Skincare Routine set* would make a great gift for anyone who really cares about their skin and wants to fight the signs of ageing. It’s a great price at £52 and contains four amazing ‘Confidence in Your’ skincare products: an eye cream, cleanser, day cream and mini night cream. I absolutely love all of these products – the night cream in particular is a firm favourite for me – and definitely recommend it for anyone looking to switch up their skincare routine!
