If you can’t think of something juuuuuust right for somebody discerning this Christmas, then follow the lead of our Cult Concierge team who know a great gift when they see it (or smell it). We’ve ransacked their brilliant brains to discover the festive essentials they dream of receiving and can’t wait to give, so follow their lead and indulge someone special with one of these expert-approved Christmas gifts...

For a skin care obsessive...

“GIfting a skin care set is the perfect way to indulge a fellow skin care fiend, as well as to encourage them to treat themselves to some (probably all-too-rare) self-care. Every complexion could do with a boost in the winter, so introduce someone you love to a swath of new favourites from one of their Holy Grail brands.” - Sarah Products (carousel):

 

For a make up aficionado...

“Make up, for me, is about having fun and building confidence, and what better feeling than getting to pass that along? I will definitely be giving make up this year – especially as there’s so much choice! From sparkling eyeshadow gems to bold red lipsticks and ultra-glowy highlighters, I can’t go wrong!” - Connor

For the one without ever a hair out of place...

“Everything is better when you’re having a good hair day! This year I’ll be spreading the love by gifting all of my favourite formulas to friends and family, chosen for their hair type, texture and their goals. Our Hair Care Gifts category has something for everyone – I might treat myself while I’m at it!” - Syhem

For the scent collector...

Scent is the key to unlocking memories – as well as forging new ones – which is why it’s the ultimate gift for your loved ones over the holidays. Warm, spicy and gourmand notes are perfect for the colder months and will conjure the spirit of Christmas in even the most devout Grinch!” - Lena

For the body care buff...

“This festive season I will be gifting the indulgent (and normally neglected!) step in any skin care ritual – body care! It’s the perfect excuse for a loved one to carve out some much-needed ‘me time’ and pamper themselves (and their skin) in the wake of the festive excesses.” - Ryan
