The time has come for us all to gather our winter woolies (don't you just love this time of the year?) and brave the highstreet to soak up the festivities, bright lights and of course prepare for the big day - which usually involves an arm full of treats, and maybe a hot cocoa or two when I am involved!
The thing is that festive preparation is so much easier said than done. When you really want to surprise someone with a well thought out and tasteful gift, it can all seem a little daunting and dare I say expensive. Or perhaps you are struggling to offer up ideas when presented with the question "what do you want for Christmas?" - I mean a healthy bank balance and a stable economy is veering on sarcastic isn't it? If you don't want to wake up to a lump of coal in your stocking, may I suggest you pay close attention to the newly launched, great value and exclusive to Boots (hello 3 for 2 gifting offers), Ted Baker Christmas Gift Sets.
When I say that there is something for every beauty lover within this range, I am not kidding. The kicker is that along with being utterly affordable, each of the gifts come beautifully presented in the now iconic Ted Baker Porcelain Rose print, so there's no real need to gift wrap them, should you be stuck for time. Let's have a closer look at some of the Ted Baker Christmas Gifts currently on offer at Boots shall we?
In my opinion you can never go wrong with gifting someone bath and body products - realistically we all have to bathe and shower, so why not make it a more indulgent experience altogether? A great stocking stuffer is the Ted Baker Little Petal Opulent Petal Body Spray (50ml/£3); not only does the soft woody-floral mist (notes of silky vanilla, deep patchouli, spicy black pepper and just a hint of clove), smell incredible, and offer a sophisticated yet almost festive burst of fragrance, it is also ideal for popping into any handbag to quickly freshen-up on the go. Can we also take a moment to appreciate the packaging? The Ted Baker Little Petal Opulent Petal Body Spray comes presented in the most darling little gift box, that of course features the aforementioned Ted Baker Porcelain Rose print; no gift wrap can really come close in comparison and yes, you should totally gift this as is. Fun fact, said print that is now signature to Ted Baker items, was actually inspired by a trinket found in New York auction.
Perhaps you or your intended giftee is a gym bunny or just partial to indulgent showers? If that is the case please add Ted Baker Sparkling Bloom Body Wash (200ml/£8.50) to your shopping list. This gentle, yet quick to cleanse the skin, body wash is yet again gloriously scented with a a delicious, fruity-floral fragrance (red fruits and peach this time around) and lathers beautifully. It is one of those rare body washes in which it both cleanses and nourishes in one quick step, so if you are feeling lazy, you can skip body lotion...well on the odd occasion at least. Ted Baker Sparkling Bloom Body Wash breaks all the rules and proves, that yes you can gift shower gel this festive season but only if it is as beautiful as this bottle - which as you may have noticed, again features that glorious Porcelain Rose print, I haven't stopped harping on about.
As a kid, I used to gift my school teachers soap at Christmas. I'm not entirely sure why but it was a thing. A thing, looking back I'm not at all convinced they wanted nor needed, but if I turned up now with the Ted Baker Glittering Gems Soap Collection (£8.50), I'm sure they'd be far more appreciative. Three, sweetly scented soaps, shaped like diamonds no less, and in one decadent box (yes that is the Porcelain Rose print at play again) you won't be in a hurry to recycle nor re-gift. This is my pick for the person/s in your life you may not know all that well but still want to spoil; or perhaps for the friend/relative who has just moved house.Surely every bathroom deserves a soap line up this pretty?
Have you tried Ted Baker cosmetics yet? If not you are missing out, grab your list to Father Christmas and perhaps steer him in the direction of the Ted Baker Pouting Petals Lip Gift (£14): three beyond luxurious, tinted lip balms that glide on to the lips with such ease and provide a soft, sheer wash of colour that stays firmly in place for hours. What I love most about this kit (packaging aside - yes I am weak for anything that is dripping in rose gold) is that the three shades provided are universally flattering: there's a light but easy to wear nude, a mid-toned yet cheery pink, and lastly a classic red. Whatever your mood, there's a nourishing lip colour to go with it. This is my star pick and the gift that I would say purchase it whilst you can, as it will most likely sell out quickly.
Last but certainly not least, we have the Ted Baker Lips & Tips (£8.50), a perfectly selected, coordinating duo for yep, you've guessed it your lips and nails. Inside the Ted Baker Lips & Tips kits (there are two colourways to select from: light or dark), you will find one full sized nail polish and one full sized tinted lip balm. This is the perfect introduction to the brand - a great luxury yet affordable gift, and a lovely way to treat someone who perhaps is new to the world beauty? This is also the gift that I plan on purchasing a few more of and stashing aside; every year - rather luckily may I add - I often find myself presented with surprise gifts, and then I get myself in a flap as I don't have anything ready in able to return the favour. This couldn't be more perfect, nor tasteful for such occasion, it would also be the perfect addition to any Secret Santa tombola, or even popped into a stocking?
As mentioned, all of the above gift ideas are exclusive to Boots and included in the wonderful 3 for 2 offer so should you want to treat yourself too, you won't feel even the tiniest pang of guilt - not that you ever should!
In true beauty-blogger-slash-millennial-style, I wish you a very merry (and pink Christmas). To spread the season of goodwill that little further, I will be gifting one lucky reader all of the above via a giveaway on my Instagram channel so do keep your eyes peeled.
