We’ve all unwrapped a gift that’s beautiful but impractical, the kind that ends up tucked into a drawer before New Year’s Eve. The W believes beauty gifts should be indulgent, yes, but useful. Products she’ll reach for again and again, not just for the packaging, but for how they make her feel.
Here’s our edit of beauty gifts that promise both pleasure and purpose.
1. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream
The icon. A formula that bridges science and skincare, instantly reviving winter-tired complexions. It’s a little luxury she’ll never forget, especially when she wakes up glowing on Boxing Day morning.
2. Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Iconic Lip and Cheek Kit
Universally flattering, perfectly pink, and endlessly giftable. Pair it with a velvet clutch or a handwritten note for a touch of effortless glamour.
3. Tom Ford Soleil Neige Eau de Parfum
If Christmas had a scent, this would be it. Icy citrus meets warm musk, like fresh snow under candlelight.
4. Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler
Still the most covetable hair tool of the decade. For the friend (or self-gifter) who believes good hair is a lifestyle.
5. Dior Capture Eye Cream (£300)
The kind of gift that says: you deserve this. Luxurious, effective, and as golden as the season itself.
