Be as kind to the planet as you are to your body and soul this Christmas with these lovely, self-care finds
Tired of people asking what you want for Christmas this year?
We have a horrible habit of answering too politely: “Ah, you know yourself” or “You don’t have to get me anything”. But in reality, they are going to buy us a gift anyways, so it might as well be something we love.
That’s why we have created an easy round-up of indulgent finds anyone (especially those in desperate need of a self-care day) will truly appreciate.
Each item is handpicked from The Handmade Soap Company, who recently won ‘best overall Irish brand’ at the Irish Made Awards. If you haven’t heard of them yet, the kindness-centred brand is known for their luxury skincare and fragrances – all made from natural goodness with sustainable methods.
So, you can treat your skin to some much-deserved kindness while finally ending people’s pestering Christmas queries – it’s a win-win. Here are some pampering gifts to add to your list this year.
