Although our curated Christmas edit has only just launched in-store and online, the team have been busy behind the scenes for months. Which gift sets and stocking fillers have they got their eye on? We find out as Space NK employees reveal their most wanted beauty buys this Christmas…
Drunk Elephant Dewy The Polypeptide Kit
“Christmas is an excellent time to stock up on all-year-round essentials and gift sets mean you can make a saving on some of your faves, plus a few little extras. As a Drunk Elephant fan, this set is at the top of my wish list, especially as Protini is my go-to moisturiser. I’m excited to experiment with Slaai and A-Passioni Retinol Cream which come in slightly smaller, try-before-you-buy sizes.”
– Charlotte Clark, Brand Copy Editor
Elemis Men’s Grooming Duo
“I’m not going to lie, my skincare routine isn’t a complicated one, but it does feature a gentle, daily cleanser and a hardworking moisturiser that soothes my skin post-shave without clogging my pores. I’ve heard good things about this brand and I’d be delighted to find this duo in my stocking on Christmas Day.”
– George Monk, Senior Digital Designer
Olaplex Holiday Hair Set
“Who wouldn’t want the gift of noticeably healthier hair? Used in harmony, these four heroes will totally transform every hair type for a stronger, healthier and more resilient mane. This set includes the bestselling No. 3 Hair Perfector, as well as the Shampoo, Conditioner and Bond Smoother.”
– Liz Hambleton, Head Of Creative, Content and Editorial
Coming Soon: Best Of Space NK Gift Set
“The Best of Space NK Gift Set is a fab tour of some of our bestsellers, all in one box making it the perfect gift for any beauty lover this Christmas. Or, the ultimate treat to yourself as it contains £222 worth of beauty favourites for just £99. It’s on my list because I have tried and tested all of these products and I absolutely love every single one of them. I urge you to run not walk when this set launches. ”
– Jini Sanassy, Head Of PR
Diptyque Sapin De Nuit Candle
“Nothing says Christmas like a Diptyque candle. This fresh forest pine fragrance with sweet, toasty undertones keeps the spirit of the season alive long after the day itself is over. The burn time on these is pretty impressive and the intricate festive illustrations are a nice touch too.”
– Felicity Padbury, Editorial and Copy Manager
Jo Loves Pomelo Bauble
“Pomelo is one of my all-time favourite scents and I’m yet to meet someone who doesn’t like its fresh but deep lingering scent. The bauble is one of my top picks this year as it’s a stunning gift enclosed in beautifully marbled packaging. It’s also a fabulous way to try the fragrance or great gift for those who already wear the scent.”
– Charlotte Giddeon-Powell, Junior Buyer
Caudalie Luxury Hand Cream Trio
“Our hands need a little pampering after all the extra washing we’ve been doing this year and this little trio will do the job perfectly. Each of the three hand creams are travel-sized making them ideal for nourishing dry hands on-the-go. It’s an affordable (and practical!) stocking filler I’ll be gifting to pretty much everyone on my list this year.”
– Victoria Hall, Beauty Editor
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Kit
“I’m wishing for this Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Kit this year because not only do you get a full-size Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick, you’ll also get the chance to try the iconic shade in all of the new different formats and finishes. From the Collagen Lip Bath to the Jewel Lips gloss, this is a gift set not to be missed.”
– Helena Drozd, Colour and Makeup Buyer
This Works Dream Team
“I buy this stocking filler every year, not only for myself but for my Mum and friends too and this year will be no exception. I love the Pillow Spray and it’s become a daily ritual in my bedtime routine. The Stress Check Roll-On is also handbag sized, so it’s great for carrying around and using quickly on my pulse points to help relax my mind and calm my thoughts. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want this.”
– Blair Phillips, Senior Press Officer
Maison Margiela Replica Fragrance Discovery Set
“I was thrilled when we announced that we’d be stocking Maison Margiela fragrances. I always like to have a few on-the-go and this set is perfect for trialling some new favourites. All of these scents are build around universal memories and these three perfectly evoke the places and times they describe.”
– Niamh Butler, Head Of Education
Fresh To-Go Mask Duo
Renowned for their kind-to-skin ingredients and all-natural formulas, Fresh is one of my favourite skincare brands. This year, its gift set offering is pretty impressive. The face mask duo is at the top of my list though as when combined, these two treatments give the most enviable glow.
– Samantha Nice, Beauty Writer
