Although December has a habit of sneaking up on me, for as long as I can remember the arrival of Boots Christmas catalogue has always signalled the start of the festive season. As a teenager I used to spend hours making wishlists and taking advantage of their 3 for 2 deal (2 for them, 1 for me)! This year I was given a little sneak preview and as there are now only 3 weeks left I thought what better time then to start my Christmas gift guide with a selection of their top gifts for 2014:
One of the best things about Christmas gifts is the chance to try something new and this set from Benefit features 10 of their best sellers. Amongst others there's a mini They're real mascara, Poreprofessional primer and Dandelion blush. Alternatively if you're already a fan then this would be a good chance to stock up on travel minis.
Nail polishes are a safe bet at Christmas and for girlfriends and sisters I'd recommend this beautifully packaged gift set from Ted Baker. With 3 colours, a nail art pen and stickers it's a fun opportunity to experiment and will be perfect for any upcoming Christmas and New year parties.
This last year both me and my friends have gotten a lot more into homeware and if you're in the same situation then take a look at their festive foodie and home gift sets. There are some lovely scented candles from Florence Anne but for tea lovers I'd recommend this gift set from Twinings. Perfect for sharing there's a pack of English breakfast tea, 2 floral mugs and a white tray which I'm planning on using as beauty storage afterwards.
Finally for the girl who has everything you can't go wrong with this beauty advent calendar - the only problem being it would have to be an early Christmas present. With deluxe samples of make up, skincare and body care there's a new treat to try out everyday and will be sure to be popular with friends and mums alike.
How are you getting on with Christmas shopping? What are your favourite gift sets this year?
