Customise your gift set from Mecca Cosmetica and they'll gift wrap it for free. I love their packaging this year. They've individually wrapped the products I've personally selected for a loved one inside so I couldn't undo them to show. However, if you're curious, it contains a couple of items from my all-time personal favourites from This Works: In Transit Muscle Therapy and Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. :)
A limited edition Christmas gift set from This Works again is their 'In the Midnight Hour' set which contains a luxurious Deep Sleep Shower Gel and a mini Deep Sleep Stress Less. I will be adding this to the set of Christmas goodies I've prepared for my brother who I know will appreciate something like this especially in his line of often stressful, fast-paced chef's life! I purchased this one from ASOS, but you can find it at your local This Works counter such as Space NK if you're in the UK.
For my mum, I'm also putting together a whole bunch of pretty goodies including the Givenchy Haute Couture Look limited edition gift set that I got from Sephora. It contains:
- 0.05 oz Le Rouge Lipstick in 103 Brun Creatéur, and
- 0.28 oz Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara in Black Satin.

Such a pretty box packaging, too, isn't it? :) She loves eye and lip makeup products so I think this would be perfect for her.
I love this miniature bath & shower oil collection from Aromatherapy Associates. I purchased mine from HQHair. These are great for those family members/relatives/friends that are a bit difficult to buy for, but I just think they will love it! I also got one for myself. *grin*
For cat lovers and/or Paul & Joe lovers - why not let them indulge in this gorgeous Eye and Cheek Color set?! This one's for my sister-in-law who has two lovely cats. I can't wait to give this to her! (I only wish there was a set for dog lovers like me! >_<) I purchased mine from ASOS, but you may still be able to get it at your nearest counter such as Selfridges for those in the UK.
This cute bag is actually much larger than most makeup bags by the way. :)
Inside the bag, there's an unbelievably cute cheek stick in the shape of a cat! ^_^ There's also an eye shadow duo and an eye gloss.

From Sephora, there's this awesome, yet affordable "best-of" product set from Ole Henriksen called 'Ole La La Look at Her Glow' for all her (or his!) glowing skin needs. ;)
Above: The set containing 0.33 oz Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil, 0.5 oz Truth Serum Collagen, Booster, 1.5 oz African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser and 10 x Truth to Go Wipes - all inside a super bright, colour-blocked, easy-to-clean pouch.
For Aussies, I found this amazing Revlon Gift Set containing a set of five Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in a range of pretty shades. I believe this was only about AU$38 or AU$39 from Priceline, which is an absolute bargain considering each one costs more than AU$20 I think!!!
Otherwise, there's the gorgeous set of six mini Ultra Plush Lip Gloss from Benefit, called 'Love at First Shine'. The shades include:
- A-lister (bubblegum pink)
- Kiss you (fuchsia)
- Icebreaker (clear)
- Lollibop (hot pink)
- Poutrageous! (bright pink/coral)
- Fauxmance (soft berry)
Normally valued at AU$60. I purchased mine from Myer for only AU$39. (Do ask for Kitty from Miss Kitty Charms if you're at the Adelaide Rundle Mall Myer Benefit Cosmetics Counter - she'll sort you out. ;) )
Clarins do great gift sets as well. Here's my favourite set for the lip-product-obsessed, called 'All about lips'. :) All the lip products are mini sizes. You can find a whole different range of gift sets for makeup lovers or skin care lovers (for men or women) at your nearest Clarins counter (e.g., in Myer), but I purchased mine from Harrods. It contains one of my favourite lip glosses - their Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. :)
From the Book Depository, I purchased the 'Parisian Chic' - A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange with Sophie Gachet. A must for the fashionista. I will be adding this hard copy as part of my gift of goodies for my mum. ^_^ I need to get a copy for myself, too I reckon! >_<
Last but not least, are a couple of amazing body and bath sets from Laura Mercier. Both in the Crème Brûlée scent - so decadent and delicious! :) I purchased these from Harrods, but Aussies can purchase these Christmas Limited Edition sets from your nearest Laura Mercier counter in David Jones or Myer, too.
Above: the duo set that includes a jar of bath salts and a soufflé body cream.
Above: the Crème Brûlée Luxe Quartet which comes with:
- a Honey Bath 150g
- Body Scrub 150g
- Souffle Body Creme 150g
- Crème Brûlée Candle 120g
Above: close up of the Crème Brûlée Honey Bath that comes with a wooden honey dipper. :) (Although I would avoid actually eating it despite how tempting it looks and smells ;) ). Below the Crème Brûlée candle. Perfect for a relaxing, indulgent, luxurious bath night in me-thinks!
There you go - just some of the Christmas gift set ideas I thought was worth sharing in case you're still stuck on last minute Christmas shopping! I just think gift sets are often great value for money and they're well edited. A lot of people would appreciate them I'm sure (even me). ;)
Good luck! Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for stopping by! ^_^ xo
