Gift sets you need this Christmas!

If you love a brand and they do a gift set, chances are you will want it or want to buy it for someone who you also want to love it. As well as stocking fillers, there is sometimes gift sets which make buying that gift all the more easier and here are some you definitely need.
Gift sets you need this Christmas!
Vintage Cosmetics Company Girls Night In Tin - I am a fan of this cute and kitsch brand. I love that everything is pink and floral and just so very me. This gift tin is described as being the answer to all your pampering needs, this cute love heart tin has everything you need for a pamper session.

Inside you will find Dolly Bow Make-Up Headband, Floral Slanted Tweezers, 4 Way Nail Buffer, Pink Toe Separators, Floral Nail Scissors and Fantail Brush. Priced at just £27.50 from John Lewis, cute and kitsch it definitely is.

Omorovicza The Miracle Facial Set. If there is one brand which is going to capture your attention, it is Omorovicza, or Oh - more - o - veet - za as the kind lady at the Liberty counter taught me how to say. Inspired by tradition, guided by nature and spearheading the concept of Mineral Cosmetology, the Omorovicza skincare range has a rich, romantic heritage. It was founded by a young couple, Stephen and Margaret de Heinrich de Omorovicza, who met in Budapest.

This spoiling set comprises a trio of sweet-smelling products to tone, refresh, hydrate and nourish the skin: the Queen of Hungary Mist (30ml), the Illuminating Moisturiser (30ml) and the Miracle Facial Oil (30ml). I am already obsessed with both the mist and the oil and really want to get my hands on the Ultramoor Mud Mask. Priced at £80 which is a saving of £60, this is a great introduction to a beautiful brand.

Michael Buble By Invitation Gift Set. I hadnt expected to like this fragrance at all (reviewed here) but I did and much more so than I had expected. By Invitation is by description a crisp oriental floral scent which has notes of Bergamot, Jasmine, Peony, Sandalwood Musks and Vanilla Praline which come together to create a scent which lingers, lasts and is displayed in a stunning bottle which is suspended in a golden bracelet making it stand right out amongst its peers.

The gift set is also really quite special with a 100ml fragrance and 150ml body lotion at £55 it isn't going to break the bank.

Blank Canvas is a brand that might not have caught your attention yet but it should. Right now you can build and customise your very own box, whether for you or a friend. Inside my box are two palettes and two brushes.

The Master Series Palette One which I reviewed here, The Pippa Palette which Blank Canvas Cosmetics collaborated with Pippa O'Connor Ormond (a Fashion, Beauty and Lifestyle blogger from Ireland) to create the gorgeous Pippa palettewhich holds six eyeshadows, a highlighter, blush and bronzer. The F20 is a Buffer Brush and it is ideal for applying liquid, cream or powder products. The bristles are incredibly soft on the skin and with a hot pink handle, what's not to love. The E32 is a Tapered Crease Blender and is great for eyeshadow application and blending with both cream and powder products.

Tigi is brand I use more for their styling products than the shampoo and conditoner, so these two kits are pretty good. The first one is called Bed Head Bigged Up Volumiser and it features Superstar 'Queen for a Day' which is a body-boosting spray and Oh Bee Hive! which is a dry shampoo and together they work in tandem to create luscious locks. I absolutely love the Christmas themed gift box that it is presented in. This set is currently on offer with LookFantastic for just £13.25.

The second kit is TIGI's Catwalk Haute Volumiser; a kit that works to volumise, lift and hold hair in place, leaving you party-ready. With Root Boost Spray which takes care of those limp locks which lifts hair from the root for added body and bounce and Session Series Hairspray which delivers strong yet flexible hold. Again, it is presented in a festive gift box. Worth £31 this set is also available on Lookfantastic for just £13.95 here.

Liz Earle Botanist Cabinet - If you read my blog regularly then you will know I have this already but it is just such amazing value for money you need to grab it quick. The Botanist Cabinet features 8 drawers which each contain a Liz Earle product and you can expect to find a full sized Cleanse and Polish of course.
