    Christmas Gifts Idea For Under £10.00 in Sainsbury’s
    Festive Bath Fizzers

    There were quite a few festive inspired bath fizzers available in the gift section in Sainsbury’s. Bauble design, reindeer, gingerbread man, snowman, snowflake. All great in look, good sizes, different fragrances and priced between £1.50 and £2.00 each when using their loyalty Nectar card (£3.00 to £4.00 without).

    Raspberry Ripple Bubble Bar Wand

    This grabbed my attention because it’s very similar in look to one that LUSH sell, but fragranced and priced differently. A great alternative to a traditional bath fizzer or bath bomb. Will be reusable as it’s on a stick and will be fun and easy to use. £3.00 using a Nectar card, £6.00 without.

    Let’s Go Multipack Fizzer x 6 Gift Set

    This is ideal if you want to give a bath lover a more substantial set of fizzers rather than individual ones. This gift set contains 6 different shaped and coloured bath fizzers. Fragrances included are passionfruit, chocolate and pink grapefruit. £4.50 with Nectar card, £9.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    Honestly, I found this set containing 3 Nails Inc polishes gorgeous! The packaging was stylish and festive. The colours are a great selection of classic, Winter and party ready shades. This is one gift set I would be very happy to receive. £9.00 with Nectar card, £18.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    These are just a few pampering products I found in Sainsbury’s which caught my attention. Some would make ideal stocking fillers, Christmas Eve box additions and some perfect small gifts. In my opinion prices are great BUT only if you use a Nectar card! Without it you pay full price, so be warned!

    Supermarkets are a great way to not only do everyday shopping but also gift shop too.

    Treacle Moon’s Spiced Gingerbread Biscuit Shower and Bath Gel

    I’m a fan of Treacle Moon shower and bath gels. Not necessarily for gifting but for everyday use. They’re fun, great fragrances, good sizes and very affordable. But their seasonal Spiced Gingerbread Biscuit Shower and Bath Gel is such a seasonal treat this would make a great addition to a stocking, Christmas Eve box or hamper. £2.00 for 500ml.

    So…? fragrances are winners in my house and one of my daughter’s favourite body mists.

Usual price is £10.00, Clubcard price £5.00.

    I would quite happily buy most of these for family or friends, or even myself at the Clubcard prices. At full price? Probably not. But at these special prices they are affordable, inexpensive and great buys. You can pick thee up in your local store, or even order online.

    Revolution’s Hearts and Kisses Bath Bomb Duo

    This has a slightly more Valentine’s Day feel to it thanks to the packaging, but this little bath bomb set would work for a bath junkie. You get two decent sized bath bombs which are both different in shape and fragrance, for only 89p! Potentially a good stocking filler for someone on the younger side, or/and someone who just likes fun bath products.

    Dreamers Bath Sprinkles

    Dreamers Bath Sprinkles is a sugar infused bath product you pop under warm running water and enjoy. There’s lots of colourful pieces in this which may appeal to younger bath lovers with fun packaging matching that. The scent of this is a mix between vanilla frosting and drumstick lollies, which makes it mouth watering. £1.99 for 500g.

    Dreamer’s Bath Sprinkles
    Serenity Collection’s Coffee Whiskey & Vanilla Bubble Bath

    The glass bottle Serenity Collection’s Coffee Whiskey & Vanilla Bubble Bath comes in was the thing that made me spot this product. Then it was the colour of the bubble bath and then the actual fragrance of this. This has quite a classic, traditional look and feel to it with an interesting fragrance and shimmering appearance. £3.99.

    Serenty Collection’s Bubble Bath
    Satin Scrunches

    I’ve bought a pack of these for my teenage daughter and she uses them all the time. Practical, handy, looks great with each tub containing 6 scrunchies. There seems to be two sets containing two different colours, so would suit anyone. £1.99.

    Satin Scrunchies
    Sunkissed Eye Shadow Pallets

    I found 2 different Sunkised Eye Shadow Pallets. One in Shine Bright and the other Moonlight Sparkle. One is more brighter, bolder in colour and the more natural, browns and nudes. Nicely packaged , small and discreet and both costing only £1.99.

    Sunkissed Eyeshadow Palettes
    Revolution Skincare Rose Quartz Gua Sha

    Certain people will love Revolution Skincare’s Rose Quartz Gua Sha and you know who they will be! They will love skincare, and want to look after their skin. They try to keep their skin in great condition and probably already use some form of facial tool. Gua Sha’s are used to massage the facial area, help with blood circulation and toning of the skin. Not only is this useful but pretty too as its made from rose quartz. Cost? Only 89p!

    Revolution’s Rose Quartz Gua Sha
    Glow’s Cherry Bomb & Jasmine Blooms Nourishing Body Oil

    If you’ve visited Home Bargains, you may know they have a range of products from a brand called Glow. Many of these products have been ‘inspired’ by the very popular (and expensive) brand Sol de Janeiro. Home Bargains stocks Glow body butters, shampoos, conditioners and perfume mists. But the newest edition to these products is their body oil. Similar style in packaging to the other products. An interesting and different alternative to the body butter and only £3.99.

    Glow’s Nourishing Body Oil

    This is a great mix of different products that would slot into a stocking, Christmas Eve box or even a hamper. Age wise these could be suitable from tweens to someone on the mature side. Best bit? All of these products cost £3.99 or under, and you can pick one or two up while you’re doing your weekly shopping to spread the costs of Christmas sensibly.

    Aldi’s Lacura Sweet Angel Shower Gel

    Calcot Spa’s Smoothing Body Scrub

    I found this in my local Tesco with most of the products from this range on a promotion when using a Tesco Clubcard. This body scrub is 200ml, contains shea butter and various fruit extracts. It can be teamed up with other products from this range to make a larger gift. On it’s own it’s currently £2.00 down from £4.50.

    Calcot Spa’s Smoothing Body Scrub
    Calcot Spa’s Dry Oil Body Mist

    Something a bit different from the usual body moisturiser, Calcot Spa’s Dry Oil Mist comes in a patchouli and wild rose fragrance. This would team up well with the Smoothing Body Scrub.

    Masking Refresh & Clean Masking Collection

    Normally gift sets have a higher price point compared to the products it contains individually. But with Masking Refresh & Cleanse Masking Collection in Tesco, this isn’t the case. This set contains 4 sheet masks, 1 head band, 1 large microfibre cloth and 2 small microfibre cloths. Currently £4.00 down from £8.00 if using a Tesco Clubcard. The masks themselves are sold in Tesco and are £1.00 each, which makes this an affordable and fairly priced gift set.
