The Christmas countdown is on, but fear not, procrastinators and busy bees! We’ve curated a collection of wellness-focused gifts that combine style, function, and that crucial quick-shipping factor.

For everyone still on your list – from the self-care enthusiast to the beauty lover who deserves a little everyday luxury – these picks will arrive in time to spread joy (and no one will ever guess you pulled this off at the eleventh hour).

Hair care and styling

Lily England Hairbrush Set | From £17.99

A really good hairbrush set transforms your bathroom into a mini salon, and this four-piece collection from Lily England delivers exactly that magic. The barrel brush creates that coveted volume (especially for those “I need to look put-together for this video call” moments), while the paddle brush delivers that satisfying smooth-hair feel without the battle. The vented brush cuts blow-dry time in half, and the precision tail comb masters those detailed styling moments. It’s the kind of elevated everyday essential that makes mundane routines feel luxurious.

GHD Chronos Styler in Icy Blue | £299

This limited edition styler proves performance and aesthetics can coexist beautifully. The icy blue finish and crystal vanity case create visual impact, but the real innovation lies in the technology. Ultra-gloss floating plates eliminate friction and cut styling time by two-thirds. Single-pass effectiveness means less heat exposure and better hair health. The motion-responsive element adapts to your technique, making both straightening and curling remarkably intuitive. A significant upgrade for anyone still wrestling with outdated tools.

Manta Pulse Deep Ocean Blue | £70

Elevate your hair care routine with the MANTA® Pulse, a revolutionary brush designed to do more than detangle. Combining cutting-edge magnetic pulsations with sleek design, it massages your scalp to boost circulation, deliver oxygen, and gently exfoliate for a healthier scalp and stronger hair growth. Choose from two modes – ‘relaxing’ for stress relief or ‘invigorating’ to enhance blood flow—making each session a rejuvenating self-care ritual. With its deep ocean blue finish, this beauty tool is as stylish as it is effective. Healthy, radiant hair starts here.

Skincare

Dr. Somji’s Signature Serum | £85

Here’s what happens when a doctor spends five years perfecting a formula – you get a powerhouse blend of 15 active ingredients that delivers serious results. The texture strikes that ideal balance between silky and substantial, absorbing instantly without leaving any sticky residue. Packed with encapsulated retinol and ceramides, this multi-tasking serum tackles everything from fine lines to uneven texture. A sophisticated choice for skincare enthusiasts who appreciate science-backed formulations.

Lisa Franklin Pro Effect Ultimate Eye Cream | £95

Winter’s dark mornings and late nights show up first around our eyes, making this nutrient-rich eye cream feel particularly timely. The breakthrough natural bio-concealer Ameliox-IG targets stubborn dark circles, while Eyeliss tackles those telling under-eye bags. Organic seaweed extract and polyglutamic acid deliver deep hydration that actually lasts. The silky texture makes that morning concealer glide on smoothly, turning a necessary step into a moment of luxury.

Trinny London Feel Glowing Gift Set | £99

Skincare routines often feel overwhelming, but this edited collection of minis makes complexity manageable. The oil-to-milk cleanser, gentle PHA exfoliant, and peptide-hyaluronic acid serum create the foundation. Add the retinol-niacinamide night serum and plumping moisturiser, and you’ve got a complete regimen in travel-friendly sizes. The stackable packaging and holographic carrier merge practicality with style, offering an accessible entry into serious skincare.

Wonderbalm | £29

When your skin needs a hero, Wonderbalm is here to save the day. Inspired by the secrets of Korean skincare, this multitasking marvel blends the finest all-natural ingredients to banish dryness, restore damage, and unveil your natural glow. Purely vegan and cruelty-free, it hydrates deeply without a trace of parabens or preservatives. Whether you’re soothing chapped lips, smoothing rough patches, or adding a touch of radiance, Wonderbalm simplifies your routine while delivering luminous results.

Makeup and beauty tools

Morphe Compose Yourself Brush Set | £29

Professional-level makeup application comes down to the right tools, and this five-piece collection covers all the essential techniques. The foundation buffer creates that coveted skin-like finish, while the highlighter brush masters subtle luminosity. Three precision eye and brow brushes handle everything from basic blending to artistic detail work. The included cloud cushion puff elevates touch-ups from functional to refined. Vegan bristles and ergonomic handles make this set as mindful as it is effective.

Sculpted by Aimee Gift of Beloved Lips Set | £20

Some lip colours seem to enhance rather than mask, and this muted pink achieves exactly that balance. The matching liner adds definition without obvious manipulation, while the innovative lip oil delivers hydration with a natural-looking sheen. This trio masters that elusive “polished but not overdone” look that works everywhere from morning meetings to evening events. Each piece works beautifully alone but reaches its full potential in combination.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Food and drink

Deer & Oak Premium Pizza Peel Set | £21.95

For that friend who went full Italian nonna during lockdown and hasn’t looked back. The aluminum peel with its foldable wooden handle gives serious pizzaiolo vibes, while the rocker and dough scraper turn that awkward pizza transfer into a smooth operation. Home pizza nights have become the new dinner party flex, and this set instantly elevates someone from enthusiastic amateur to looking like they actually know what they’re doing.

SOMRUS Coffee Cream Liqueur | £19.99

This isn’t your standard cream liqueur situation – SOMRUS has taken premium rum, fresh dairy cream, and real coffee, then added a twist of Indian-inspired magic. The genius is in how light it feels (none of that thick, syrupy heaviness that has you tapping the bottle like ketchup). The world’s most awarded cream liqueur since 2014 is finally available in the UK, and with its lower alcohol content and no artificial nasties, it’s perfect for anyone who’s done espresso martinis to death.

Cosy and comfort footwear

Hush Puppies Amara Slippers | £42

These mules are the grown-up version of those fluffy slippers you coveted at teenage sleepovers – but with actual arch support. The memory foam footbed remembers exactly how your feet like to be cradled, while the faux fur lining brings five-star hotel luxury to your morning coffee ritual. Substantial enough to dash outside for packages, perfect for anyone who’s finally ready to admit that proper house shoes are legitimate self-care.

Fitness and movement

ProsourceFit Exercise Training Weighted Vest | From £24.47

Remember when adding “walking more” to your resolutions meant just, well, walking? This adjustable vest cleverly transforms your everyday movement into proper training – without making you look like you’re headed into a combat zone. The soft neoprene design hugs rather than hangs, while the balanced weight distribution means no awkward bouncing during your power walk to Pret. Perfect for anyone who’s serious about levelling up their fitness game but doesn’t have time for extra gym sessions. The 6-20lb range lets you progress from “barely notice it’s there” to “feeling like a superhero in training,” and it works just as well for park runs as it does for home workouts.

Alo Muse Sweatpant | £98

Say hello to the sweats that are taking over your feed – and your wardrobe. Crafted from a plush, wide-ribbed fabric, they deliver next-level softness that’s just as cozy as it is chic. The high-rise waistband and jogger-style cuffs create a relaxed yet polished silhouette that’s perfect for lounging or stepping out. Pair them with the Muse Hoodie for a matching set that’s pure comfort goals. Designed for a roomy fit, you can size down for a more tailored vibe.
