The festive season is upon us, and with all the gatherings and celebrations, everyone wants to look their best! Skincare gift sets are not just thoughtful presents; they invite you to pamper your loved ones with practical, travel-ready essentials that cater to every preference. Whether your recipients crave rejuvenation or a touch of luxury, there’s a fresh gift this holiday season that will ensure they look and feel amazing all winter long.


Join us as we explore some of our top picks for holiday gift sets, tailored for every personality on your list, ensuring everyone can unwrap the joy of fresh.


Skincare gift sets for socialites

The life of the party is used to being the centre of attention, so they enjoy putting effort into their appearance to ensure they always leave a good impression. The best skincare gift set for them will match their radiant personality. For this, we recommend the Dewy Skincare Trio. This set features three glowing essentials from our deeply hydrating Rose Collection: a facial toner, serum, and moisturiser. Formulated with a combination of damask rose extract, rose water, and rose oil, these products have been expertly designed to soothe, support, and balance the complexion for a petal-soft look and feel. Added hyaluronic acid and time-release technology ensure a dewy finish and long-lasting hydration.


Use this set in the following order: first, clean skin with a gentle facial cleanser of your choice. Next, swipe on Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner to refine the look of pores. Follow with Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum and complete with Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream. The results are refined-looking pores, deeply nourished skin, and a plum, dewy finish.


Indulgent holiday skincare sets for luxury lovers

For those who cherish life's finest offerings, skincare is no exception. The luxury lover considers self-care a worthwhile investment and loves to indulge in products that elevate their daily lives. This makes the Crème Ancienne Eye & Face Cream Duo the ideal gift idea for this discerning demographic. Our Crème Ancienne Collection delivers the deep nourishment that your skin craves.


Featuring two start products—the eye cream and original face cream—this treatment duo is a must-have. Apply the eye treatment to significantly hydrate, firm, and reduce puffiness around the delicate eye area. Enriched with Bacillus ferment for enhanced firmness, soothing vitamin E, moisture-retaining beeswax, and softening meadowfoam seed oil for ultimate luxury. Our sumptuous face cream—handcrafted in a tranquil monastery—visibly diminishes lines, bolsters skin stability, and nourishes even the most sensitive skin, taking holiday skincare sets to the next level!


Skincare gift ideas for workout warriors

We all have that one friend who's passionate about fitness; by the time we’ve gotten out of bed, they’ve already had their coffee and completed a workout. While we dedicate our weekends to relaxation and socialising, they're hiking, trying a new sport, or training for a marathon. Their commitment is commendable, yet it’s crucial to ensure their skincare routine keeps pace with their active lifestyle.


The Resilient Skin Ritual Set is the best Christmas gift for your health-conscious companion. This dynamic trio includes the iconic Soy Face Cleanser, Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence, and Tea Elixir Resilience Activating Serum, collectively designed to effectively cleanse, visibly repair and protect the skin and bolster its resilience against visible signs of ageing. This winning team helps achieve a naturally smooth, hydrated complexion with a radiant glow, allowing the fitness enthusiast to shine inside and out.


Holiday gift ideas for career dynamos

For those who often spend long hours in front of a screen, managing stress is essential, especially since it can affect sleep quality and skin health. A lengthy 10-step skincare routine may not be manageable for everyone, so a streamlined 3-step ritual, like our Firming Face & Eye Ritual, is an ideal solution.


This thoughtful Christmas gift includes the iconic Soy Face Cleanser, along with the Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Eye Cream and the Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Cream. Together, these products provide a quick and effective way to cleanse, rejuvenate, and firm the skin, improving the appearance of dark circles and reducing the visibility of wrinkles.


The best beginner-friendly skincare gifts this holiday

When considering gift ideas for someone just starting their skincare journey, it’s important to choose items they will use regularly. If they enjoy makeup, introducing them to skincare products infused with a hint of colour is a great stepping stone. Our Color & Care Lip Collection Set includes three mini-sized lip treatments along with the beloved Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment, catering to all lip needs and seasonal activities.


Created with nourishing sugar crystals, soothing cranberry seed oil, hydrating grapeseed oil, and protective vitamins C and E, these balms offer buildable colour and up to 24 hours of hydration for irresistibly soft lips. The set features our signature shades—Sugar Rosé, Honey, and Bloom—alongside a clear treatment balm that is versatile enough to apply on its own or layered over lipstick.


Unwrap the best of fresh with our Christmas gift ideas

Searching for that perfect personalised gift set this holiday season? If you have something specific in mind, consider curating a custom gift set with our build-your-own-gift feature. Select from a variety of skincare, lip care, bodycare, and fragrances to create a unique collection that caters to their skincare needs. If you'd prefer to let them choose, an eGift Card is a thoughtful alternative, allowing recipients to pick their favourite products and indulge in a little self-care at their own pace!
