A candle-lit bubble bath, having all the essentials on hand for an everything shower, a face scrub that leaves your skin feeling ultra fresh — it’s the simple things that can mean the most.

Oftentimes, we waste our time trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to Christmas gifting. The best presents aren’t necessarily the most expensive or boundary-breaking; they’re the ones that say, ‘I see you’. The ones that allow your loved one to take a breather, some time for themselves, and close the door on the rest of the world for some well-needed me-time.

Whether it’s for a new parent, your busy best friend, an in-law that could do with unwinding a little this time of year orjust a little something for yourself, the gift of self-care goes a long way.

It’s for this reason that we’ve rounded up our absolute favourite self-care essentials available at Boots, many of which are currently being sold for a fraction of the price! From candle and K-beauty sets to at-home spa essentials, here’s what to add to your Christmas gift list…
