Christmas stockings. Christmas Eve boxes. Hampers. They’re all the same sort of thing just housing gifts in a different way. So what do they all have common? They all contain smaller, normally less expensive gifts for someone, that doesn’t stand out as a main gift but a collection of little ones providing treat after treat. My teens have Christmas stockings. And what they get filled with are small items I think they will like. Socks, chocolate, make-up, bath and body products. Nothing flash or expensive but still well thought out. So if you only had £2.00 to spend on a stocking filler, what could you buy? Here are 6 beauty items I found in Home Bargains for less than £2.00 each!
The Foot Factory Spa’s Foot Scrubs
New to the shelves of Home Bargains, this foot scrub (so far) is available in Minty Fresh and Caffeine Fix. Minty Fresh contains peppermint, Caffeine Fix coffee. Both sound very invigorating and contain sea salt and glycerin so should leave feet feeling smooth and hydrated. £1.49 for 500g.
Face Facts Body Butter
This would make the perfect partner for the Face Fact body scrubs also available in Home Bargains. Tropical Bliss sounds like how it will smell, tropical and fruity! The texture in the tub looks rich and moisturising. It contains sunflower seed oil, pineapple fruit extract and avocado oil to name a few ingredients. £1.49 for 400ml.
Serenity Collection Bath Honey
Coffee, whiskey and vanilla cream scented bath honey. The consistency of this doesn’t quite look like a bath soak or gel, but something in between. Nicely packaged, great for a bath lover and only £1.99.
Biovene Sheet Masks
There’s a few different versions of this sheet mask available in store. But the one I recently saw was Avocado Cucumber & Niacinamide. Designed to be hydrating and cooling on the skin, this sheet mask costs only 59p.
Face Facts Multibiotic Fortifying Face Mask
This skincare mask is should be used at night time and to be worn while a sleep. It is supposed to help hydrate, balance and strengthen the skin leaving it smoother and stronger. 99p for 75ml.
Charlie Tate London’s Lime Basil & Mandarin Hand Lotion
Lime Basil & Mandarin as a scent is very popular thanks to a certain luxury brand in fragrance and body care products. So to have this in a hand lotion means it’s a practical gift but a slightly pampering one. Great to gift for someone who looks after their hands, who likes this scent and someone who likes to have nice looking hand care products in their bathroom or toilet. £1.49.
So that’s just a few small gift ideas to help finish off (or even start?) your Christmas shopping. All affordable, easy to pop in Christmas stockings, boxes and hampers, and all should be received well.
