Buyagift - The gift for someone who has everything but wants nothing

If you are still mid-Christmas shop and with time running out to get things bought and wrapped, I have a handy solution for you to turn to.  

Right now, Buyagift has some amazing offers for absolutely anyone and everyone. Whether you like Afternoon tea, whisky tasting, driving super  cars, a massage, days out, pottery classes or even bungee jumping, there is so much choice.

Buyagift is a gift for everyone, as the buyer you can decide how much to spend on your allocated budget, which it is worth noting starts from as little as gifts at £10 and goes right up to those over £250.  Once your budget has been decided, you can then go one step further to determine who this gift is for - a girlfriend, husband, work colleague, your mum or even that hard to buy for relative who has everything and claims to want nothing. 

The website is also really easy to use and is really well laid out.  Once you have the basics as to who the gift is for and your budget, you could book that experience or, you could also book the experience box, the one I have is worth £99.99 and it includes a selection of over 4,695 amazing experiences to choose from, which I find incredible.  It is also perfect for that person who has everything and wants nothing because with this many options to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice.

The experience box comes packaged in a Buyagift box with a laminated sleeve. The inside that box you will find a booklet which contains all the experiences available for that price you choose, but those experiences are split up by region, so because you live in Yorkshire does not mean you have to choose something to do there, you can choose any experience you fancy. 

Also inside the box you will find a square card and on it is a printed unique voucher code and pin code with instructions on how to use them, which is further explained on the Buyagift website where you book everything you need.

We have just booked our experience which I will update and share on this post after the event!  But in the meantime, if you are stuck for ideas, Buyagift could just save the day!

Stocking Filler Gift Guide 2022

One of my final gift guides for 2022 is all about stocking fillers, often the most fun presents to buy because there is just so much choice. 

This Gift Guide features a selection of makeup, fragrance, well-being and skincare in a variety of different price ranges, but each and every gift set is priced between £8 and £30 making them perfect Stocking Fillers.

Starting with Misguided I have the Babe Power Gift Set and it consists of an 80ml fragrance and 10ml travel-friendly mini-spray (£28)

Babe Power was the first fragrance of the Missguided Babe range and is described as being a concentrate of confidence, empowerment and femininity and it comes packaged in a quirky rose gold can, which actually looks like an energy drinks can, the scent sits in the fruity floral family. Priced at £28 for the set, it is a lovely gift.

From Nuxe is a very cute Insta-Masque Set (£18.50) and this trio of masks with their ultra-sensory textures and addictive scents are designed to offer you a moment of well-being and relaxation as well as to give you fresh and radiantly beautiful skin in just 2 minutes.

Each one of these masques can be used on their own or as part of a multi-masking session depending on how your skin is feeling.

Contents

• Insta Masque Purifying (15ml - This mask is a non-drying mask which is enriched with both White Clay and Rose Floral Water and the formula works to absorb excess oils whilst at the same drawing out impurities and clarifying the pores. The Rose Floral Water works to soothe irritation and moisturise to promote supple skin.
• Insta Masque Exfoliating (15ml) - Using Rose Floral Water to soothe the skin to reduce irritation and soften and Macadamia Oil which strengthens the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier to defend against environmental aggressors. This gel textured face mask helps to improve the skin’s hydration in both the short and long-term.
• Insta Masque Detoxifying (15ml) - This face mask detoxifies the skin by using Activated Charcoal to help draw out impurities and clarify whilst Rose Floral Water contains soothing and softening properties to leave the skin feeling supple and radiant. The black gel mask transforms into a lotion when rinsing with warm water to provide maximum skincare benefits

A great gift for absolutely anyone within your circle whether or not they are a fan of skincare and it is an amazing value set.

Next I have the Fresh Exclusive Deep Hydration Skincare Set which was just £18 on Black Friday and is worth £45.

I have been wanting to try the Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask for a while now, so rather than purchase a full-size, it comes as part of this trio alongside two other great products. This set is described as being dedicated to creating a soft, plump and healthy-looking complexion and it combines three of the brand's skincare favourites which seek to leave skin supple and glowing.

Contents:

• Soy Face Cleanser 50ml - This is a product I have used before and it is a clear 3-in-1 gel cleanser that gently dissolves makeup, removes impurities and tones your complexion. This cleanser is ideal for all skin types, the pH-balanced cleanser harnesses a nutrient-rich blend of soy proteins, borage seed oil, soothing cucumber extract and rosewater.
• Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask 30ml - A two-step overnight mask treatment comprising a cooling, jelly-textured essence and silky water-cream to lock in continuous hydration for a plump, dewy complexion when you wake up. Powered by soothing rosewater, hyaluronic acid to draw in moisture and Bulgarian damask rose extract to help retain it.
• Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream 7ml - Designed to replenish dry or dehydrated skin with its lightweight yet intensive formula that delivers deep hydration for up to 72-hours thanks to time-release technology. Infused with high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and damask rose extract, the cream helps to quench the complexion, providing both instant and lasting moisture.

An amazing value gift set and one to be looking out for in the sales, especially at just £18.

The next gift set I have is from Feather & Down and it is the Sweet Dreams Scents of Sleep Gift Set (£8.50) and anyone who is a fan of the brand will love this.

Featuring a pillow spray and candle, both come with the calming blend of lavender and chamomile essential oils which are renowned for their soothing properties to help your body and mind unwind. As a duo, they work amazingly well together or on their own, depending on your evening routine. For me, I love to have the candle lit for around an hour before I head to bed and I spray my room and pillow around 30 minutes before getting into bed to let those essential oils work their magic.

Ted Baker always does gift sets exceptionally well and at Christmas, they are just stunning and right now, on a 3 for 2 with Boots. In this gift guide I have the Ted Baker Bathing Collection 6-Piece Gift Set.

Packaged in a beautiful Raspberry coloured box, inside there is a selection of Raspberry & Orange Blossom goodies that are designed to bring the spa to the comfort of your own home.

This gift set contains:

• Raspberry & Orange Blossom Body Wash
• Raspberry & Orange Blossom Body Spray
• Raspberry & Orange Blossom Moisturising Sheet Mask
• Raspberry & Orange Blossom Hand Cream
• Raspberry & Orange Blossom Body Lotion
• Raspberry & Orange Blossom Body Butter

This collection smells absolutely delightful, such a happy and fruity scent that really uplifts the mood. Priced at just £25, it is a great gift to give.

From Benefit Cosmetics, I have the Merry Mini Mail Eyebrow Gel, Mascara and Primer Gift Set (£18.50) which is packaged ready to gift.

Inside the reusable keepsake tin with special holiday stickers inside, you will find three mini Benefit Cosmetic products which have you party ready and this tin is the perfect handbag size.

Contents

• Porefessional Pore Minimising Face Primer Mini 7.5ml - This is a smoothing face primer to minimize the look of pores and
• Badgal Bang Volumising Mascara Mini 4g - This is a volumizing mascara in intense pitch black
• 24hr Brow Setter Clear Eyebrow Gel Mini 3ml - This is a 24-hour invisible shaping & setting gel for brows

For anyone who is a makeup fan this is a great stocking filler and one which is part of a collection, so there are many other options also available.

The final set I am sharing comes from Foamio and it is their Bestsellers Set (£10). Perfect for those who are doing their best to cut down on their plastic use, especially single plastics, this is one cute gift set.

The Bestseller Set is made up of three products which come together to create one incredible product. Starting with the popular 2:1 Papaya & Oat Milk Body Bar which is said to stimulate your skin in the shower with the massaging indentation, it uses added oat milk to gently clean and soothe the skin, while the papaya works to moisturise the skin and on contact with water, it creates a wonderful creamy lather. Alongside the Foamio Soap you will find two essential Travel Buddy products to store Body Bar in to prevent it from turning to mush in the shower and there is also a free Soap Bag too.

So there you have my Stocking Filler Gift Guide for 2022 and if you are still to finish off your Christmas Shopping, hopefully I have given you an abundance of ideas to think about, gifts to purchase and even a treat for yourself!

Hair Syrup - The brand taking Social Media by Storm

Hair Syrup is a dreamy pre-wash treatment brand that will make the perfect gift or stocking filler this Christmas and it should absolutely be on your wishlist! 

Described as being a brand which went Viral on TikTok, Hair Syrup features everything from growth remedies to pre-wash treatments that will make your hair thick and glossy, Hair Syrup is a unique brand that’s taking social media by storm and better still, they are UK based.

One of the newest additions to make its way onto the Hair Syrup website is the Hair Syrup Grows-Mary (£15.50). 

This rosemary-infused hair oil treatment is described as being perfect for thin, falling out hair that is in need of a re-growth acceleration. So that already ticks boxes for me, since Covid19, my hair has been through a cycle of falling out and being genuinely unhappy, so trying products such as this ticks boxes for me.

This syrup contains Rosemary Essential Oil which is proven to be as effective as 2.5% minoxidil in reducing hair loss and encouraging re-growth. You will also find a combination of grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, peach kernal oil, avocado oil and olive oil to name a few of the ingredients.  Each ingredient promoting moisture, strength and shine alongside the inclusion of Rosemary.

As this is a pre-wash serum, it is ideal to be applied to dry hair and then worked through the lengths and ends as well as massaging into your scalp and letting it work its magic for at least an hour before washing it out.  I have just started to use this as a weekly treatment as suggested, so will update this post in a few weeks time.

The second  Hair Syrup I have to share is called Lemon Aid  and it has been designed use on hair which oily, lack-lustre and limp hair. 

Again, perfect for use on all hair types, but ideally for those like me with an oily scalp, this hair syrup, as the name suggests has been enriched with purifying cold-pressed lemon oil, a mild antiseptic that re-balances natural oils and refreshes hair from root to tip, it also helps to remove any buildup and as it is one of the mildest of exfoliants it also buffs away impurities and any unwanted excess sebum.

As with Grows-Mary above, Lemon Aid is a pre-wash treatment and is designed to be applied to dry hair and then worked through the lengths and ends as well as massaging into your scalp and letting it work for at least an hour before washing it out. 

Hair Syrup also offers other pre-wash syrups such as Rapunzel (for hair refusing to grow), and Mint Condition, for those suffering from a dry, itchy scalp. Both retail at £13.95 and are available from BeautyBay as well as Hair Syrup directly. This wonderful brand also offers a range of accessories.

Finally, if you can’t decide on which syrup to go for, Hair Syrup offers a handy quiz on its website to help you. Simply go through the quiz to get your result and enjoy a new lease of life with your brilliant new syrup.
