Margaret's Beauty Gifting Essentials
Our Chief Merchandising Officer shares her Christmas shopping list, including the NEW Shimmering Spice arrival and the perfect Diptyque candle for housewarmings.
Space NK
Space NK Shimmering Spice Diffuser, £13.00
The Practical Home Fragrance
A new addition to the beloved Shimmering Spice range. This is a great option for my friends with small kids or pets who don’t want lit candles around the house, but still want to enjoy the warmth of our signature holiday fragrance.
Jo Loves
Christmas Trees A Home Candle, N/A
For Filling The Home With Festive Vibes
Jo Malone CBE has nailed all of the Christmas feelings with this glorious candle; it is a nostalgic, warm pine scent that makes me immediately want to cosy up by a fire with a cup of cocoa. An absolute must-have in my home as soon as November rolls around.
Hourglass
Unlocked and Caution Mascara Duo, £56.00
For Serious Mascara Lovers
I always have multiple mascaras on the go, and these are two of my absolute go-tos together in one set. I will buy one for me and one for several friends.
Révive
Sensitif Eye Cream SPF 30 Broad Spectrium (UVA/UVB) Sunscreen PA +++, £140.00
For Reviving Tired Eyes
My husband has become a skincare junkie since meeting me. This year, with the new baby, I’ll give him my current favourite eye cream, since I never let him use mine.
Diptyque
Feu de Bois Large Scented Candle, £290.00
The Go-To Housewarming Treat
For some reason, 2021 has been the year of new homes among my close friends, both here and abroad. There is no better housewarming gift than a Diptyque candle; this one smells of a warm log fire and is my choice for cold winter days.
Neom
Sleepy Vibes, £20.00
For New Parents
For all of the mums out there who need a bit of R&R at the end of the year, this is the perfect stocking filler.
Laura Mercier
Roseglow Caviar Trio, N/A
The Eye Makeup Must-Haves
I immediately loved these new Caviar Sticks when they came out over the summer and have used them relentlessly, so this collection of minis is perfect for any of my girlfriends.
Dr. Dennis Gross
DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro, £465.00
The Game-changing Gadget
I love to indulge myself with a gift at Christmas (fully wrapped under the tree and opened on Christmas Day). This year, I’ll be splurging on the ultimate at-home skincare device.
Byredo
Gypsy Water Hair Perfume, £60.00
The Gift With The Cool Factor
My fashionable hipster friends need their products to look impeccable, so this is such a unique and unexpected option. Mojave Ghost is my scent of choice, but Gypsy Water is a crowd-pleaser, too.
