Instead of my usual 3 treats for 3 budgets post, this month I am doing 3 gift guides for 3 budgets, given that Christmas is only weeks away! I know that some people are quite cynical about gift guides as they think they consist of only PR products but all of my posts have a mixture of products that were kindly sent to me and products that I have bought myself (as gifts or for myself!). I usually mention at the bottom of each post if a product was gifted to me but for my gift guide posts, any product that was sent to me will be marked with a *. As always, I only feature products that I would be happy to spend my own money on. Today I have gifts for under £25/€25 and this was actually the easiest category - there are so many amazing gifts and products that fall into this budget category that prove you don't need to spend a fortune to get a gorgeous gift.
Buxom Party Of Two Lip & Eye Duo: I am a massive fan of White Russian Lip Cream because it makes my lips look full and the shade is very pretty and suitable for everyday wear. This set contains a full size lip cream and mini mascara. Perfect for any gloss lover! £11/€13.
L'Occitane Festive Bauble*: I can't imagine that anybody would be disappointed to receive anything from L'Occitane! This bauble contains 3 mini products: a mini soap, mini hand cream and mini body lotion. They are perfect for travelling and available in three scents. A gorgeous stocking filler! £12/€12.
Aromatherapy Associates Pearl Of Wisdom Bauble*: Another bauble and one that everybody would love to receive because the bath and shower oil inside has the most relaxing and calming scent that fills the bathroom. It contains a blend of Ylang Ylang and lavender to help you unwind and who doesn't need a chance to unwind at this busy time of year. The bottle contains enough product for three uses. £12/€14.40.
Benefit Confection Cuties*: I love this cute Benefit set that contains three of the brand's best-selling items: The POREfessional, Baby Roll Mascara and Gimme Brow - three of my personal favorites from the brand and they are all decent sizes so you can really decide if you want to buy the full size. This would be ideal for someone who travels a lot as the sizes will be perfect for hand luggage and what's even better is that you can pick it up in World Duty Free as a gift to yourself if you're flying! £14.50/£12.30 in World Duty Free/€19.50.
Eyeko Christmas Cracker*: There's a gorgeous duo if mascara and liquid liner in this cracker. It is a a tubing mascara so it's smudgeproof and contains ingredients to help nourish and care for your lashes. The liner is waterproof so it's ideal for anyone with watery eyes or oily lids. £15/€17.45.
Jouer Lucky & Charmed Christmas Cracker: The perfect gift for this time of year because it contains a mini lip polish to exfoliate the lips and a full size lip enhancer to nourish the lips. £19/€22.
Rejuvenated Hydrate & Glow Set*: One of my favourite brand discoveries this year is Rejuvenated ( see post here). This mini set contains a seven day supply of collagen shots and H30 Hydration - perfect for everybody at this busy time of year, particularly for those who burn the candle at both ends. It will help to hide food sins and lack of sleep! £19.50.
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Hollywood Lipstick Charms*: This little duo of Charlotte Tilbury matte liquid lipsticks is adorable! The two shades are Too Bad I'm Bad and Show Girl, which are both universally flattering shades and the formula is non-drying and comfortable. The perfect gift for any Charlotte Tilbury fan and they are the perfect handbag size! £20/€21.
L'Occitane Hand Cream Trio*: Housed in a tin designed by CASTELBAJAC Paris, this set contains three 30ml hand creams in a variety of scents; Rose, Shea Butter and Tea Light. These hand creams are the perfect handbag size and are ultra nourishing, yet non-greasy. £21/€25.
Molton Brown Muddled Plum Bath & Shower Gel*: I reviewed this shower gel here. Molton Brown Shower Gels fill the bathroom with fragrance but they aren't harsh on the skin. This particular scent is festive without going down the traditional cinnamon/clove route, The limited edition packaging is stunning and doesn't even need to be wrapped! £20.
Nars Little Fetishes Mini Orgasm Blush & Lipstick: Nars Orgasm is the only blush that I've hit pan on twice and repurchased! The peachy pink shade with a fine shimmer running through it is pretty much universally flattering. This set also contains a mini Orgasm lipstick, which has a semi-matte finish. £20/€22.
I also want to mention some mini gifts from Omorovicza. They have Christmas crackers, each containing two decent sized mini products and the best part is that you can decide which two products to put in each cracker from a range of right products. They also have a Christmas bauble if you would prefer that to a cracker, each containing two minis of your choice. The crackers are priced at £25 and the bauble at £22.
Also, if you are flying around Christmas, World Duty Free have a selection of 17 aftershaves and perfumes for only £19.90 and you can use the Reserve & Collect option to save you time in the airport. I'm flying just before Christmas and I fully intend on using this option!
I hope that today's post has served up some inspiration for you if you are buying some gifts within this budget. Come back tomorrow for a gift guide with a budget of £25-50/€25-50.
