Its that time of year again where every email you receive, every TV advert that you watch, or every magazine/blog
that you read features something related to Christmas. As much as you may love it or hate it there is no escaping the task in hand of Christmas shopping whether it be for a loved one or just simply for yourself (we all need a "To me, From me" gift!).To be honest I am not feeling in the Christmas zone at all as yet, but one thing I have loved recently is seeing all the amazing beauty sets that have launched this season as I do love a Gift Set as they are simply grown up selection boxes!To help anyone who maybe in need of a little gift inspiration OR maybe you need to tell your partner what to buy you, OR a little heads up for all you males out there that are stuck for gift ideas then I have put together some of my personal favourites that I think anyone would be excited to receive! *Links are all included of where to buy!*

The selection of gifts to buy this year is absolutely incredible as you can see! A lot of what I have picked out is special edition making them really unique gifts for anyone. Each set has an incredible saving so check out the links to find out more about each one. Some of my absolute faves have to be the Bobbi Brown Palettesas they are such incredible value and are simply stunning, the GlamGlow face maskset because as you may know this is my current favourite face mask and you get three versions to try in this mini set, the Laura Mercier Body Set because it smells good enough to eat, the Cocoa Brown Self Tan Set because we all need a bit of a summer glow on our winter skin, the brand new Urban Decay Basics2 as I have been using this currently and it is the perfect matte handy sized eyeshadow palette that can create any day to night look but to be honest ...... they are all my favorite as I would love to receive any of these gifts and I am sure you would too!
29. Nars 'The Vault' here *Selfridges London Exclusive*30. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette here & UK here31. Charlotte Tilbury 'The Supermodel Video Box' here *Selfridges London Exclusive*32. Estee Lauder Ultimate Make Up Kit here
Luxury is certainly the best word used to describe this selection of gorgeousness if you have a luxury budget. Chosen personally by Francois Nars, The Nars Vault contains 10 full sized lipsticks and 10 full sized nail polishes; now that is a present worthy of being under any tree (WOW). The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette is simply the most beautiful blush palette you shall ever have - as mine is being used daily without fail!
I am blown away by the Charlotte Tilbury Video Box Gift as you can watch, learn and apply make-up by simply opening the lid! Containing a video screen and 7 full sized make-up products from her amazing collection, this has to be the ultimate make-up lovers gift. I so want this!
33. House of Jo Malone here34. GHD Rose Gold Deluxe Gift Set here35. Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir here & Frosted Cherry and Clove Candle here36. La Prairie Classic Caviar Set here
Jo Malone never seem to fail when it comes to gifts and creating special editions as I do believe you cannot go wrong with a Jo Malone product as they really are the ultimate in fragrance and luxury bathing. Just the packaging itself makes you actually not want to unwrap whats in front of you but just stare at it. They do offer some really lovely sets that are totally worth checking out if you are looking to buy something extra special, or even just an individual product nicely wrapped up shall always be well received by anyone.
A recent blog post of mine here had me raving about this amazing GHD Rose Gold Gift Set which anyone with hair would be happy to receive quite frankly. This set shall guarantee swoosh happy, salon worthy, perfect hair on a daily basis.
Having worked for La Prairie many years ago, the Caviar Collection was always and still is a Christmas sell out with mainly men buying this for their wives (on Christmas Eve) as its any Skincare lovers dream - very pricey yes, but the Caviar Collection is divine as I have raved about it in previous blog posts - its just a real splurge, hence why getting this as a gift is a real luxury treat and sure to make anyones face light up!
*A Selfridges London UK Only Exclusive!*Yves Saint Laurent Limited Edition 24 Piece Nail Polish Collection Set here at £400!
I am in shock at how incredible this Exclusive YSL Set is - how amazing would it be to own this? I must say Selfridges London really have impressed me the most with all their exclusive gift offerings this year and there really is something for everyone within all budgets so finding the perfect gift couldn't be easier.
I hope I have given you a little beauty gift inspiration and like me you probably now have an even longer shopping list seeing as you want it all yourself (oooops).
