Gorgeous Gifts

From pamper products for stuffing in stockings to extravagant spa packages, the gifting options are endless for mums and mums-to-be this celebratory season.

1. Every so often, brands come out with gift sets that make me sit up and take note and Kinvara Glow

Getter, €67.90, is one of them. The Irish brand is renowned for its plantpacked formulas and 100pc vegan products but what really impresses me about their products is the results.

The Glow Getter kit

contains an Elemental Exfoliating Powder, Hyaluronic Youth Boost and a current favourite of mine, the 24hr Rosehip

Face Serum. If you are unfamiliar with exfoliating powders, this kit is a great one to try and buy. The gentle marine-based formula removes dead skin cells, without irritating the skin.

2. Let’s face it, for any beauty lover, the festive season would not be complete without a gift or two from Lush — the high street store always delivers on the extravagant, over-the-top yet budgetfriendly festive fancies and this year is no different. The Merry Christmas Gift, €31.95, features four delightful bath bombs, each containing a unique signature scent which melts magically in the water. Glitter and sparkle aside,

these products do more than just fill your bath tub with perfume swirls — each bath bomb is infused with an oil designed to nourish and treat your skin.

3. Year after year, Clarins never fails to produce amazing gift sets that are perfect for any new mum or mum-to-be. Clarins Radiance Boost, €38,

contains a Beauty Flash Balm, Instant Light Lip

Perfector and the Gentle Refiner, which together helps to create a radiant glowing look. Clarins’ Beauty Flash Balm is a cultfavourite for a reason — the multitasking moisturiser creates a dewy and longlasting base for your foundation, it blurs fine lines, plus it disguises signs of fatigue.
