The NYR 2019 Christmas Gift Guide

Nov 19, 2019Sophie Taylor

Mulled wine, fairy lights, snow sprinkled Christmas trees – all signs that the festive season is truly upon us!

Whether you’re an organised shopper with a detailed list or a shopper who starts (and finishes) all present buying on Christmas Eve, we’ve got you covered with a selection of gorgeous gifts for every person, price and personality so you can sit back, relax and enjoy this years’ holiday activities.

For Her

Whether she’s an eco-friendly queen or you just want to spoil her this year – we’ve got plenty of gifts and ideas she’ll love.

Little Luxuries:

  • Maybe she’s a new Mum, or her job is a little stressful, or you think she just needs to rest and recuperate. Our Prepare For Bed Night Time Gift aligns body and mind with the help of the relaxing aromas in the tranquil blend of essential oils featured in our Goodnight Pillow Mist and Relaxation Remedies to Roll to help her drift off in no time.
  • She’s a nurse? Chef? Massage therapist? Any hands-on jobs will benefit from our Refine & Revitalise Melissa Hand Care Gift. A must-have for hands in need of a little TLC (and small enough to fit in her bag!)
  • Wine - I don’t think this requires explaining.

Star Gifts:

  • If she’s new to organic skincare or becoming zero waste is her New Year’s resolution, consider our award-winning Special Edition Wild Rose Beauty Balm, also known as our one-pot-wonder because it does everything. Yes, we mean everything.
  • Does she enjoy a pamper evening? Or maybe you think she should have more of them? Try our new Sink Into Bliss Foaming Bath Collection. A luxurious collection of foaming baths, with pure organic essential oils for a beautifully aromatic bath. For extra points – consider a bottle of wine and a good book to go with this?
  • A massage! Book her in for an hour of aromatherapy or deep tissue for some extra pampering.

Showstoppers:

  • Is there a show she’s mentioned? Maybe this is the time to treat her to tickets for the theatre or ballet! You could even go for a couple of cocktails beforehand. She’ll love that you have an entire evening planned.

For Him

Notoriously difficult to buy for because he has everything. Check our suggestions below for a Christmas he’ll remember!

Little Luxuries:

  • It’s an obvious one (and I’m sure he gets them every year!) but socks, underwear and PJ’s are classic Christmas present staples. And stops him having to buy them himself.
