Christmas Gift Set Guide

Christmas is our favourite time of year here on Luxplus and this year we have an huge array of gift sets and gift ideas which are all discounted up to 80%. To make things a little easier we've compiled our Christmas Gift Inspiration section which is packed with gift ideas for all budgets so you're guaranteed to find the perfect gift for friends and family this Christmas. Today we bring you an edit of our favourite gifts we have to offer for men and women, so make sure you read on to discover what our highlights are this year.

Women's Gift Sets

Kicking things off with the girls, we have selected a trio of giftsets; one bodycare giftset, one fragrance giftset and one haircare giftset. Purchasing fragrance for someone can be quite difficult if you don't know what fragrances they typically like. However, if you know of a fragrance they already wear, by searching online you can discover what accords the fragrance has i.e citrus, white floral, woody or oriental and then you could go ahead and purchase them a fragrance from one of those note families. If you don't want to go down the fragrance route, we recommend opting for a bodycare or haircare gift as it is a slightly safer option especially if you don't know the recipient well enough to know personal details such as their skin type or hair type.

MoroccanOil Treatment and Candle Gift Set

We would really recommend the MoroccanOil Treatment and Candle Gift Set as the perfect haircare set for women of any age. The set contains a 100ml size of the iconic MoroccanOil Treatment which can retail full price for £35.95 elsewhere online, alongside a 25ml size of the MoroccanOil Treatment and a 40g MoroccanOil Signature Candle all for a very reasonable price. The MoroccanOil Treatment is an award winning styling, finishing and conditioning product for all hair types so you don't have to know the hair type of the recipient and the product is a real multi-tasker so there's at least one way they can incorporate the product into their haircare routine, if not three. The oil is infused with antioxidant-rich argan oil and works to detangle, speed up drying time and boost shine whilst nourishing the hair at the same time.

The 100ml size is great for keeping at home as it has a handy pump dispenser but the mini 25ml size would be good for keeping in your gym bag, handbag or even your luggage when travelling if you don't want to take the full size bottle with you. Not only does MoroccanOil leave the hair looking and feeling incredible, it also smells incredible which is why this is such a lovely gift set as you also receive a little candle tin which has the same trademark fragrance for a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. I can't imagine anyone being anything but thrilled at receiving this MoroccanOil giftset as it's such a cult favourite product and it's all packaged up with a lovely blue gift box which has a Moroccan inspired print in the back, which also wins some 'easy to gift wrap' points too as it's a box—anyone else hate wrapping as much as I do?!

Clarins Spa Break with Essential Oils Set

One of the safest beauty gifts is a bodycare set as everyone has a body and the Winter always plays havoc with our skin, so it's likely to be gratefully received. The Clarins Spa Break with Essential Oils Set is a divine and luxurious set which contains a trio of decadent body treats. You can't go wrong with Clarins in my opinion as they're an high end brand with a great reputation for high quality products and this particular set contains a 100ml glass bottle of the Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil, a 100ml size of the Clarins Tonic Bath and Shower Concentrate and a 100ml size of the Clarins Tonic Body Balm for the ultimate body pamper. This really is a fantastic set as the Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil retails for £40 on the Clarins website so we are offering an amazing deal on this set, so it's the ideal time to snap one up.

The Tonic Body Treatment Oil contains 100% pure plant extracts and is suitable for all skin types and helps firm, tone and improve elasticity as well as smoothing the appearance of stretch marks. The Clarins Tonic Bath and Shower Concentrate is one of Clarins most popular products and again is suitable for all skin types so you don't need to worry about not knowing the skin type of the recipient. The concentrated cleansing treatment activates with the heat of a warm bath or shower to create a sumptuous lightweight lather which is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. The last in the trio; the Clarins Tonic Body Balm has a gel-like consistency which contains a firming blend of Ginseng and Apple Seed Oil which soothe dryness, improve vitality and promote the appearance of toned, supple-looking skin. This really is a great set which is sure to delight whomever you choose to gift it to, although we wouldn't judge you if you decided it was too good to gift and you decided to treat yourself as the products are heavenly.

Clinique Aromatics In White Gift Set

Fragrance is always a wonderful gift to receive especially as you can get your hands on gorgeous gift sets around the festive season making the gift that little bit more special. It was an extremely hard to decision to pick just one female fragrance gift set but we decided upon the Clinique Aromatics In White Gift Set which is one of our favourite fragrance discoveries this year so far. Everyone knows the original Clinique Aromatics fragrance as it launched way back in 1971, but Clinique decided to revamp the old favourite with the introduction of the 'In White' and 'In Black' incarnations of Aromatics. Both In Black and In White are beautiful fragrances but the Clinique Aromatics In White is simply stunning and this gift set would be particularly lovely if your loved one enjoys the original Aromatics scent.

This gift set contains a 50ml Perfume Spray, a 75ml Body Wash and a 75ml Body Lotion all packaged exquisitely within a glossy white gift box with gold accents just like the fragrance bottle itself. Clinique describe their Aromatics In White as containing the following notes; 'serene woods, transparent petals and warm amber' which blend together to create such a beautiful scent which is appropriate for day and night.

Men's Gift Sets

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking men are often quite difficult to buy for especially if you don't want to gift the classic Christmas cliché—socks. We've scoured our Christmas Collection and have selected three fabulous sets which would make ideal gifts for the men in your life this Christmas and there's not a pair of socks in sight..

Gillette Fusion Proglide 3 in 1 Styler and Shave Gel Set

One of the safest gift options for men would have to be a shaving set of some sort and the Gillette Fusion Proglide 3 in 1 Styler and Shave Gel Set is a top choice for men with facial hair of all lengths. Some men choose to shave daily, some opt for designer stubble and some prefer longer facial hair styles and this set allows you to achieve any of those styles. The set is packaged within a nice, silver metal tin with a clear lid which could definitely be reused and contains a fabulous Gillette Fusion Proglide 3 in 1 Styler alongside four attachments, a stand to hold the styler and the attachments as well as a 200ml can of the Gillette Fusion Hydrating Shave Gel.

The Gillette Fusion Proglide 3 in 1 Styler is powered by Braun and can be used to trim facial and body hair with a waterproof body, which comes with batteries included. The three blue plastic attachments are interchangeable combs which allow for different lengths of hair and it can even be used to tidy up the sideburns and hairline. In addition to the interchangeable combs, there is a Gillette Fusion Proglide razor head which has five blades for the closest of shaves, making it a really good gift option for any man as it can be used on hair lengths on the face and body. The shaving gel is a nice extra to help lubricate the styler, and the hydrating formula includes shea butter and glycerin to keep the skin hydrated, helping to reduce the look and feel of shaving and irritation for a smoother shave.

Biotherm Force Supreme Duo Set

Skincare is always a great gift idea for both men and women, and our favourite male skincare set we have to offer would have to be the super luxurious Biotherm Force Supreme Duo Set. The set is wrapped up in a navy blue plastic capsule, with the products inside wrapped up in red tissue paper. The set contains a 50ml size of the Biotherm Force Supreme Youth Architect Serum and a 50ml size of the Biotherm FoamShaver Shaving Gel. The Biotherm Force Supreme Serum has some seriously impressive claims in that it is described as having an advanced technology to target and rebuild the dermis' structure—which is fundamental in maintaining firmer and revitalized skin over time. It works to fully restore the skin's surface and smooth fine lines, and is suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin. The Biotherm FoamShaver Shaving Gel comes in a handy travel size and is formulated with the Biotherm Homme's unique ProComfort Technology with anti-irritations and anti-rednesses properties, making this duo the perfect skincare set for men of all ages.

Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Gift Set

The Hugo Boss Boss Bottled fragrance is one of the best selling fragrances for men within the UK, so we just had to include it within our Gift Guide! The Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Gift Set contains a generous 100ml bottle of the Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette fragrance and a matching 100ml Boss Bottled Shower Gel. Boss Bottled is such a classic fragrance, and is one of my top three male fragrances alongside Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb which featured in our Scent Showdown previously here on the Luxplus Magazine. I really don't think there's anything not to like with Hugo Boss Boss Bottled and the 100ml size retails for around £60 with other retailers, so Luxplus has a fantastic deal on the fragrance. Boss Bottled launched back in 1998 and it has been a bestseller ever since. I think it's a scent which men of any age can wear, so I think it'd be a great option as a gift if you don't know what scents they usually wear. The fragrance is described as fresh and sharp with a warm woody base, and it's impressively long lasting on the skin especially when layered over the matching shower gel within the set.

Shearer Candles Amber Noir Candle Gift Box

We decided to give you an additional wildcard option alongside our three top gift sets for men and women, which would be a lovely unisex gift or a gift for couples if you don't want to purchase two separate gifts. Our wildcard gift suggestion is the luxurious Shearer Candles Amber Noir Candle Gift Box which is packaged within a pretty, black gift box with a grey filigree design on the front. I love gifting scented candles for Christmas as they're so festive and who doesn't love burning candles on a cold winter's evening? Shearer Candles are all very luxurious and beautifully scented but we've chosen the Amber Noir scent in particular as being a great unisex scent which is very festive and sensual with essence of tuberose, violets and amber. The candle is handmade in Scotland and has a burn time of up to 40 hours. I also really like that the wax is navy coloured so it'd complement any decor or colour scheme and would appeal to both men and women.

We really hope you like our Luxplus Gift Guide, and that it has given your some ideas on what to buy your friends and family this Christmas :)
