A Christmas gift guide with Notino

Christmas is fast approaching and I’m sure we have all got most of our shopping done by now, however if your’e struggling for those last few gift ideas, then I’m here to help! Notino have a great range of products perfect for all of the family. It doesn’t matter who you are shopping for, there will always be something for everyone!

Gift sets

At Christmas, you can’t go wrong with a gift set! I personally love receiving gift sets as it means that I get to try out a few items from the same brand that I wouldn’t usually have picked up for myself. This year I am hoping to get a couple of skincare gift sets, so I’m including them in my gift guide. I absolutely love everything that I have tried from Vichy, so I am including one of theirs. I find that Vichy are great for my dry and dehydrated skin. Another great skincare set is this one from Bobbi Brown. I haven’t tried any skincare from Bobbi Brown but I am a big fan of their makeup, so it’s something that I would love to try out.

Candles

One of my favourite types of gifts to both give and receive is candles. Over the last few years, I’ve tried out so many candles from Notino. Paddywax has to be up there with the best that I have tried. They have such a great selection of scents and themed candles too. They currently have a literary collection online which would make an amazing gift for book lovers. I have tried the Charlotte Bronte one so far and as well as the scent, I love the little tin it comes in – you can use it as a storage tin once the candle has been burnt down. There are many different scents to choose from, something to suit all noses.

Skincare

Another great gift is skincare. I know that many people appreciate pricier skincare, they just don’t like to treat themselves to it. So, Christmas is a great time to indulge and treat them. My favourite brands for skincare are Vichy, La Roche-Posay and Revolution Skincare but this year I have also discovered Emma Hardie. Notino have plenty of other great brands to choose from.

If you are really spoilt for choice, then you could always opt for a Christmas gift voucher and let the recipient choose their own gift. I always look forward to receiving gift vouchers at Christmas time!
