1. “The ultimate mask. I don’t spend much on my skincare, but this is worth every penny – within ten minutes you're left with a new-found glow.”
Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask, £105

2. “I try not to wash my hair too often, and this cream is so good at bringing it back to life on day three. Plus, you can add it to dry hair morning or night and it just sinks in – leaving it looking healthier and shinier.”
Windle & Moodie Invisible Day and Night Cream, £22

3. “My boyfriend and I love a mini break, and when you travel with hand luggage only this is a lifesaver – it’s the perfect size too.”                                                                                                                                Space NK Travel Bag, £24

4. “We've just bought a flat, so a handwash and cream that doubles as a cool home accessory is a bonus. The branding on anything Byredo is incredible.”
Byredo Hand Care Gift Set, £78

5. “I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to make-up, but curled lashes and mascara is a must. I wouldn’t mind this set in my stocking!”
Eyeko Lash Alert Curler Set, £18
 

Georgie Coleridge Cole, Founder & Editor  

1. “a) You can’t beat sleeping on a silk pillowcase. b) If you wear an eye mask, you'll know the importance of a comfortable one. These two are a match made in heaven.”
Slip Beauty Sleep Gift Set, £109
 
2. “I have one of these in make-up bag, hand bag and desk drawer. Quick, easy and totally failsafe, they take your daytime look to evening-ready in seconds. Bronze moon is the best and suits everyone.”
Ombre Black Star, £29

3. “I mean, hello super-sized Diptyque candle! Feu de Bois is THE best, and this container is as chic as it could be – the perfect pairing to the smoky, sexy fragrance.”
Diptyque Feu de Bois Large Scented Candle, £200
