Christmas Gift Idea #3: Orla Kiely Geranium and Myrrh Mini Scented Candle and Reed Diffuser Set

If you didn't see my Christmas Gift Idea's #1 & #2 you can find them here and here but today I have a gorgeous gift set from Orla Kiely to share with you. 

Not everyone is into skin care or make up but I don't know many people who would turn their nose up at home fragrance, especially when it's presented in such a gorgeous gift box with an instantly recognisable flower oval print design which Orla Kiely is famed for. Orla Kiely Geranium and Myrrh Mini Scented Candle and Reed Diffuser Set* is something I feel would fit all ages. The scent isn't young or old and although it isn't a scent I would have chosen for myself without smelling it for myself first, I actually really like it. I was expecting the myrrh to be overpowering but both the candle and reed diffuser have a sweetness to them yet the scent still remains rich and grown up. Even though the candle is a mini (75g) the scent throw is great and the reed diffuser (30ml) may look dinky but packs a punch when kept in a smaller room. If geranium & myrrh isn't your cuppa tea, there's also a basil & mint option in the same set.

Have you tried Orla Kiely home fragrances?
Would you be happy to rip this beauty open on Christmas day?

Christmas Gift Idea #2: Conscious Skincare Sweet Orange and Frangipani Bath Soak

If you missed my Christmas Gift Idea #1 you can see that here but today I have a gorgeous luxurious, organic bath soak from Conscious Skincare to talk about. In my October Favourites post I included their Sweet Orange & Frangipani Body Butter, the texture and scent is incredible and the Sweet Orange & Frangipani Bath Soak* smells just as good, perfect if you like layering up with the same scent. If you aren't familiar with Conscious Skincare, it's a British organic skin and body care brand. The products are made at the company's rural retreat in Wales and are free from chemicals, synthetics and preservatives. The brand is strongly against animal testing and is approved by Cruelty Free International and 'Leaping Bunny' certified.

Most products from Conscious Skincare come with the option of premium eco-natural, 100% recycled gift boxes and ribbon at no extra cost which isn't something many brands offer. I love the gift box, it's simple yet still festive and makes the gift seem that little bit more special. If you usually buy a prezzie for someone who loves having baths but only uses organic products, it's well worth having a look at the website. If this bath soak doesn't appeal to you, I'm sure you'll spot something that does. Unlike a lot of bath products, the scent does linger on the skin for a decent length of time and because it's free from sls, it doesn't dry out the skin.

Would you be happy to receive this on Christmas day? :)

Christmas Gift Idea #1: Organic Surge Beauty Blogger Bundle

Yes I did just mention the C word and no, I'm not sorry. :)

For the first time ever Organic Surge has put together 4 of their most highly rated products by beauty bloggers, for beauty blog readers. The Beauty Blogger Bundle* has a not to shabby 13% discount which means you'll get 4 products for under 21 quid. You can buy the bundle as a treat to yourself, as a gift for someone else or even split the bundle into 4 separate prezzies.

Citrus Mint Shower Gel, 250ml: I love anything minty and I have a bit of an obsession with shower gels. This one from Organic Surge is 100% free from SLS, parabens, synthetic fragrances and colourants. It's enriched with organic mint, lemon and orange essential oils and smells divine! Definitely one that will wake you up in the mornings.

Lavender Meadow Hand & Nail Cream, 75ml: Unfortunately lavender can sometimes bring on one of my migraines. I'm ok with certain products containing lavender but this is a bit too strong for me so will be passed on to my mum. It contains cocoa butter and vitamin E as well as other goodies and works to prevent moisture loss.

Blissful Daily Moisturiser, 50ml: This lightweight moisturiser claims to balance oily and dry skin zones. It's designed for normal/combination skin, my skin is definitely combination, it has a bit of everything going on so I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

2-Minute Moisture Mask, 150ml: This is the product I'm most excited to try. It's for dull, dry or frizzy hair and as the name suggests, only needs to be left on for 2 minutes! Pure coconut oil and plant extracts work to protect hair from the inside out while making hair more manageable.

I haven't tried any of these products before so for someone like me it would make a great gift. Or, you could buy it for yourself and keep any you're not too fussed on for prezzies.

Have you tried any of these products?
Is the Beauty Blogger Bundle something you would be interested in?

You won't find he Beauty Blogger Bundle on the Organic Surge website, it can only be purchased via this link.
