Lancôme
Crackers usually contain miniature sewing kits, jokes and paper hats, but these altogether more stylish alternatives feature tiny versions of Lancôme’s bestselling beauty products, from its Hypnôse mascara to its famous Bi-Facil make-up remover.

Chanel
One of the most exciting things about Christmas (for us) is the arrival of Chanel’s limited-edition Le Vernis colour. This year it’s the sophisticated Malice, a deep and shimmering burgundy perfect for festive parties.

Ciaté
Have you ever seen a more covetable advent calendar? Behind each door lies either one of Ciaté’s bestselling mini Paint Pots, a mini Caviar blend, or one of three exclusive Paint Pot glitter shades.

Tom Ford
One Tom Ford nail lacquer makes a good enough gift, but 16 makes it truly spectacular. And so beautifully presented too.

Dior
When Dior announces that they’re doing false lashes for the first time, you snap them up. One of the most fabulous Christmas beauty launches of the year. Dior Grand Bal Collection False Eye Lashes in Gold Drops.

Jo Malone
We can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want to find a Jo Malone candle under the tree. This year’s scent is Sweet Almond and Macaroon, and the best news is that it comes in an enormous 400g size – who could resist?

Clinique
What beauty fan isn’t obsessed with Clinique’s Chubby Sticks? For those who haven’t tried them yet, here are five of the best in this neat little gift set.

Crème de la Mer
A truly decadent gift for someone you lovevery much, this heavenly set features the brand’s Miracle Broth, Eye Balm Intense and Radiant Serum. What better gift than that of good skin?

Benefit
This little kit really does include everything you need for on-the-go make-up application – who wouldn’t want to find that in their stocking?

Chanel
Could there possibly be anything more chic than a limited-edition Chanel N°5 soap? And it comes with a little dish too.

By Kilian
A perfume that comes with a clutch bag – a gift that’s bound to please.

Bliss
Four key products from Bliss’ bestselling Triple Oxygen range, packaged in a very useful zipped wash bag. We do like a practical gift.

Cowshed
This sweet cracker contains a mini Wild Cow Invigorating Bath and Shower Gel and Knackered Cow Relaxing Body Lotion – a perfect table decoration for girly Christmas dinners.
La Mer, surely a good idea…!! something scented? for me Narcotic Venus…or…Drôle de Rose…or…ok, too long as list…
