It's the final week to get your online shopping orders in to meet those Christmas posting deadlines, so here's my last-minute Green Beauty Gift Guide!
Luxury Organic Pampering: By Sarah London Season's Greetings Organic Body & Hair Gift Set*
(£55, link)
For the person who adores their luxury organic and ethical products, the By Sarah London Season's Greetings Gift Box will be such a delight for them to find underneath the tree this year. The packaging is completely plastic-free and sustainable (made from 77% recycled paper content and the sleeve is made from crushed grapes which have been saved from landfill, plus the whole process is made from 100% green energy!) and can be further reused or recycled.
Inside the box, your recipient will discover the Organic Body Oil (100ml) which boasts an award-winning blend of cold-pressed, certified organic, plant-based ingredients to hydrate and nourish dry skin. It's suitable for all skin types as it's free from fragrance and essential oils and really is a lush pampering treat to use after a bath or shower. A travel-size Organic Hair Oil (20ml) is also included and this is recommended to use instead of your regular hair conditioner thanks to its high levels of Omega 7 which help to soften, hydrate and add shine to even the driest and damaged hair. A gorgeous unisex gift idea.
Budget-Friendly Pampering: Lavera Sweet Moments Gift Set*
(£15.95, link)
If you're on a budget or have a lot of people to buy for this Christmas, Lavera has some brilliant value-for-money gift sets available. My top pick is the limited edition Sweet Moments Gift Set which comprises of two full-size products, a Body Wash and a Body Lotion (200ml each), in Lavera's signature Sweet Moments natural fragrance. As the name suggests, this is definitely one for those who love their sweet scents with warm and cosy Organic Plum and Organic Vanilla extracts. The formulas of both the Body Wash and Body Lotion are very luxurious and at this price point, you may want to treat yourself to a set as well!
The Travel Skincare Set: Trilogy Get-Away Skincare Kit*
(£15.50, link)
Speaking of affordable green beauty gifts, you can't go wrong with this fantastic little set from Trilogy. Their Get-Away Skincare Set will be well received by frequent travellers and natural skincare fans alike as it contains three travel-sizes of the brand's most popular products. The star is the Rosehip Oil Antioxidant+ (5ml) which is made from certified organic ingredients and is a great product to deeply hydrate the skin with, whilst the Hydrating Mist Toner (20ml) will add even further moisture to keep the complexion healthy and glowing throughout Winter. To complete the set, Trilogy's brand new limited edition Everything's Dreamy Balm (18ml) has been added to help tired travellers to get a good night's sleep.
Good Wellbeing: REN Silent Nights Pillow Spray Stocking Filler*
(£12, link)
With stress and busy lifestyles on the rise, we can all use a helping hand when it comes to perhaps the most important aspect of good wellbeing - a restful night's sleep, and so this adorable Silent Nights Pillow Spray Stocking Filler makes a thoughtful small gift. Inside the box are two travel sizes of REN's much loved & Now To Sleep Pillow Spray (10ml) that contains a clever formula of Lavender, Hops and Franckinese to bring instant calm before bedtime.
Candle Lovers: SUN.DAY Of London Natural Botanical Mini Candle in Céleste (£12, link)
SUN.DAY Of London is a new brand that I was recently introduced to who specialises in handcrafted botanical home fragrances, so naturally, I had to include one of their gorgeous Natural Botanical Candles in this gift guide. Available in a range of enticing scents and in three sizes (midi, extra large and mini), these candles are made from just a blend of pure and natural Coconut Wax and aromatherapy Essential Oils, packaged in glass and finished with a cotton wick. I was kindly sent Céleste which is a stunning fragrance featuring Jasmine, Rose, Patchouli, Wild Bergamot, Amber and Cedarwood for an ultra-relaxing and tranquil experience.
Organic Makeup: Inika Limited Edition Flawless Everyday Gift Set*
(£27, link)
For the natural and organic makeup fan in your life, Inika's Limited Edition Flawless Everyday Gift set is a great introduction to the brand and offers brilliant value-for-money too as the contents are worth £55, so you save £28! Neatly packaged in a small sparkly makeup bag, your recipient will be treated to Inika's bestselling Bold Lash Vegan Mascara (full size), a travel-size Loose Mineral Foundation (different shades available) and a travel-size Vegan Foundation Buffing Brush to use with it. I've personally used Inika's Loose Mineral Foundation for well over five years now and I can't recommend it enough!
Stocking Fillers: Lavera Organic Sheet Masks*
(£6.95 each, link)
Lastly, I wanted to include these brand new Organic Sheet Masks that Lavera have recently brought out. Perfect for teen and adult pampering at home, these would make perfect stocking fillers for friends and family, or why not include them in a DIY self-care box for someone special? There are four different masks to choose from; Firming, Hydrating, Glow/Illuminating and Purifying, to cover all the main skin types and concerns and don't forget that you can recycle the packaging at your nearest Terracycle collection point :)
