Christmas Gifts with Burt's Bees

If you are a regular reader of my blog then you will know that Burt's Bees is one of those brands I happen to adore.  In case you know nothing about the brand, Burt's Bees have been offering distinctive earth-friendly natural health and beauty care products for over 30 years.  All of this comes from a beekeepers back garden, known as Burt Shavitz whose story you can read on the homepage.

This Christmas Burt's Bees have packaged up some of their favourite products and made them look all festive and if you are looking for some last minute gifts, stocking fillers or secret Santas - look no further.

A Bit of Burts RRP £5.99 brings together two amazing products into one package.

A dynamic duo for hands and lips, featuring Burt's Bees much-loved 100% Natural Vanilla Bean Lip Balm and classic Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream or if you prefer other flavours there is Coconut and Pear, Pomegranate or the original Beeswax. The perfect little something to show that you care.

Burt's Classics RRP £6.99 - This makes a stunning little tree decoration and is available in two editions. 

This festive gift pack contains 2 popular Burt’s Bees products; a Moisturising Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil and a Hand Salve tin, both made with hard-working, 100% natural ingredients.

Naturally Nourishing - Beeswax Gift Set RRP £9.99. 

Discover Burt's Bees moisturising dynamic duo gift set for a naturally nourishing festive season. Featuring Ultimate Care Hand Cream and the classic 100% natural Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint.

Nature's Kiss Christmas Gift Set RRP £9.99. 

Burt's Bees has got your lips covered, naturally, with this duo of 100% natural Lip colour for the perfect pout. Featuring Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands, for full coverage matt colour, plus Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Peony, for vibrant, luminescent colour.

Finally I decided to make my own Burt's Bees gift set for an office colleague re-using my classic Burt's Bees tin which features the face of Burt!  

Inside there are the following products:

• Coconut Footcream - This natural foot cream combines coconut oil, lanolin and vegetable glycerin to revive and rejuvenate even the driest, most neglected feet. There's also a hint of rosemary and peppermint oils to refresh tired feet. RRP £12.99

Enriched with skin softening milk and naturally nourishing honey, this creamy, sweet smelling formula is designed to soften your skin and leaving it feeling soft, smooth and healthy, naturally. RRP £5.99
• And finally, no Burt's Bees gift is complete without a lip balm, so I added in the Beeswax Lip Balm which is loaded with coconut and sunflower oils, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, to nourish, condition and soften lips and the Wild Cherry Lip Balm which is made with rich cherry oil—cold pressed from cherry seed kernels—this balm’s sweet, natural flavour with just a hint of tartness will invigorate your senses and pamper your lips. Both have an RRP £3.99

That is just a little insight as to what Burt's Bees have on offer this Christmas as well as a little 'Do It Yourself' guide to what you can so with Burt's Bees products.

Liz Earle The Botanist's Cabinet

If you are a fan of Liz Earle then this is a deal you need! The Botanist Cabinet has finally gone on offer in Boots for just £30 instead of £60 which is it's recommended price.

What I love about this product is how it is presented. Inspired by the art of a Botanist crafting special blends and storing them in an apothecary cabinet, each compartment is filled with a botanical treat so you can create routines that meet your skin’s every need. So as you can see below, the cabinet is beautifully presented and has a lovely Christmas theme to it, so yes it makes an amazing gift.  

Inside the cabinet there are 8 compartments which each contains a Liz Earle Product and this is the contents:

• Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml
• 2 Pure Muslin Cloths
• Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic 50ml
• Deep Cleansing Mask 15ml
• 2 Sponges
• Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask 15ml
• Brightening Treatment Mask 15ml
• Superskin™ Concentrate for Night 2ml
• The Botanist’s Recipe Guide

If you are a fan of Cleanse and Polish then inside this cabinet a 150ml bottle which costs around £20 is a gift worth having and for just £10 more you get 7 more products to try. As you can see you get a lot of products in this cabinet and I just love how well it has been designed and put together and if you want to grab it now, then as it is an exclusive to Boots you can either find it instore !

What do you think to the Liz Earle The Botanists Cabinet?

Soap & Glory The Whole Glam Lot

I am a huge fan of Soap and Glory and anything with Sugar Crush is it has me rushing out to buy it because both Beautyking and I literally love the scrub and the shower gel. That said, if you love the Soap and Glory star buy, which lets face it is always amazing and I have bought it every year since I can remember either for myself or as a gift.

This year The Whole Glam Lot which is packed full of so many products, ten in total and all huge sizes goes on sale this FRIDAY from 9am, so if you want it, you need to be superquick. The products come encased in a carry case which is a lot like carry on luggage. What I love is that it is a multi-pink geometic pattern which catches your attention and basically shouts 'Buy Me' at you as you walk past it.

Want to know what is inside the case? Well here is the entire list with the size of each product:

• SUGAR CRUSH™ Body Wash (500ml)
• THE SCRUB OF YOUR LIFE™ Super-Smoothing Body Buffer (200ml)
• THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER™ Body Butter (300ml)
• SMOOTHIE STAR™ Deep Moisture Body Milk (500ml)
• HAND FOOD™ Hydrating Hand Cream (125ml)
• FACE SOAP AND CLARITY™ 3-In-1 Daily Detox Vitamin C Facial Wash (350ml)
• SPEED PLUMP™ Super Moisture Day Cream (50ml)
• THICK & FAST™ High-Definition Collagen* Coat™ Mascara (10ml)
• SEXY MOTHER PUCKER™ Lip Gloss in ROSE & SHINE (4ml)
• HAND MAID™ Antibacterial Hand Cleansing Gel (50ml)*Formula contains collagen Tripepetide-29

What I love is that there is a nice mixture of both skincare and makeup!

So for the special price of £30 reduced from £60, you can save your self a whole lot of cash, infact almost £50 should you purchase them individually!

You will be able to find both instore and online from from 9th December and if you are quite clever like me, you will be ordering it online and then collecting it at your convenience!
