As the festive season rapidly approaches, we start thinking about what we’re going to get everyone. But in the search for their perfect presents, it’s natural to come across a few finds that feel a little more like us. And if they happen to make their way into the cart, then call it a gift from Santa and enjoy the unwrapping when it finally gets delivered. These are five brands we’re scouring for some Christmas inspo.

Lush

Nothing says ‘festive season’ quite like opening an advent calendar, with 25 days of pure joy leading up to the big day and Lush’s well-thought-out advent enclosed in a reusable wicker hamper is at the top of the list.  Hand-woven in UK’s Somerset by an ethical, net zero-focussed B-Corp company, it’s packed with planet-first materials, such as the 100 per cent cotton lining and dissolvable eco-pops. Because the Christmas fun should live well beyond just the festive season.   

Inside the hamper is a treasure trove of all your Lush favourites — think the likes of Snow Fairy and Silent Night, along with 10 exclusive treats that you won’t find anywhere else. Spoiler alert: you’ll open up Santa’s Favourite Body Spray and even Turmeric Latte Dusting Powder.  

Get ready to pop the bubbles, soak in the magic and celebrate a sweeter, softer, sensorial holiday season.

There’s no doubt that we’re currently all obsessed with our wellness journeys. From consistency and creating rituals that feel simple and fit into our daily lives to hydration and beauty-boosters. Enter: hydration with a difference k2o by Kylie Jenner. This supplement blends the two worlds of hydration and wellness by formulating with five key electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride) and beauty-focussed ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and bioactive collagen peptides.  

The three fun fruity flavours — strawberry lychee, peach and watermelon lime — are best served over ice for a refreshing moment to yourself. Formulated with a lower dose of sodium means you’re not getting an unnecessary sodium intake for a regular day.
