Tinker Taylor Little Lip Kit, £36 + Oral Spotlight Sonic Toothbrush, £110
Loved By: Zoë Taylor, Make-Up Artist & SL Beauty Contributor
Why It’s A Great Gift: “I have two things I’ll be gifting. Firstly, my Tinker Taylor Little Lip Kit. It’s a natural, three-step lip-care sequence that’s like a facial, but for your mouth. A favourite among beauty editors and celebrities, it’s my go-to for friends and family – plus, it’s sustainable, using only recyclable packaging. On top of that, I’ll be sending out the Oral Spotlight Sonic Toothbrush. A great gift for those serious about good dental hygiene, it’s so effective and completely changed my tooth care game for the better.”

Constant Candles, £33
Loved By: Abigail James, Skincare Expert & Leading London Facialist
Why It’s A Great Gift: “I recently came across this amazing female-led candle company and I’ll be stocking up from them for Christmas. Each candle is the epitome of luxury, while also being refillable. They are made from British rapeseed oil, so they have a low carbon footprint, while the pots are hand-made in Cornwall. Everything is so reasonably priced, despite being so indulgent. They all smell incredible, but ‘Advent’ is the one I’ll be gifting.”

Lip Serum Balms, £18
Loved By: Ruby Hammer, Make-Up Artist
Why It’s A Great Gift: “This year, all the females in my life will be receiving my Lip Balm Serums as stocking fillers. Nourishing and hydrating, they are packed with skincare ingredients and provide a wash of dewy colour. It can be tricky buying beauty as an expert, as people think I’ve received it for free, but this way they get a product I love, and they know I’ve put the effort in.”

Verden D’Orangerie Bath Oil & Candle Set, £120 (was £140)
Loved By: Georgia Day, Beauty Editor & SL Columnist
Why It’s A Great Gift: “I’m a big fan of treating loved ones to something that will really elevate the everyday and that they wouldn’t ordinarily treat themselves to – like this heavenly set from new beauty brand Verden. I really don’t think you can ever go wrong with a beautiful bath oil that will transform an otherwise humdrum half hour in the tub, while the scented candle is just the icing on the cake. The D’Orangerie scent is uplifting and zesty with citrus essential oils, and is guaranteed to brighten those dark January days no end.”

Sisley Black Rose Mask, £119
Loved By: Michaella Bolder, A-List Facialist & Skincare Expert
Why It’s A Great Gift: “I use this mask often as an overnight hydration boost – it’s something everyone can benefit from as it’s so silky-soft. You instantly get a plumpness that’s akin to a facial, and you can use it as a straightforward moisturiser during the colder months. Incredibly versatile, it’s a skincare staple for all, so I’ll be gifting it to my nearest and dearest.”
