|AD – PR| With less than 50 shopping days until Christmas, you might be starting to think about gifts for loved ones, friends and neighbours (or perhaps a little treat for yourself!). This year, small independent brands need your support more than ever, so I have teamed up with some incredible indie businesses to bring you the very best of green beauty gifts.

You can also find some other festive features in the latest issue of Beauty Folio Magazine here.

Stocking Fillers to token gifts: £20 and under

K A Naturals: Travel Collection – From £7.99

K A Naturals new travel collection is the perfect stocking filler, secret Santa or gift for the globe trotter in your life. The travel collection features the entire range of products, including the Coffee Face Exfoliator, Lavender Night Cream, Unscented Skin Relief Cream and award-winning Rose Face Cream, all in recyclable 15ml jars.

So whether you’re treating that special someone the gift of great skincare, or discovering the brand for yourself, these are sure to make someone very happy on Christmas morning.

Apothekelly Skincare: Magnesium Cream – £8.50

Give the gift of a good night’s sleep with Apothekelly Skincare’s Magnesium Cream. This handy-sized tin, which makes a fantastic stocking filler, is a great addition to any bedtime routine thanks to 25% magnesium which is proven to naturally relax and eases muscles for a calmer nights sleep.

What I love in particular is that Apothekelly Skincare offer two scents for their Magnesium Cream, so there is sure to be a perfect scent for the lucky recipient.

Dalia Botanique: Facial Toners – £18.00

Face mists are a great addition to any skincare routine and Dalia Botanique’s new facial toners are certainly no exception. The signature blue bottles make for a striking gift, while the beautiful skincare inside offers a skincare treat like no other.

The collection, which contains two mists, contain some beautiful British ingredients to calm or brighten the skin. As a product that can easily integrate into any routine, these make the perfect gift for any age and will make a great present come Christmas morning.

Olivia Michael Candle Co: Enchanted Forest Scented Candle – £18.00

No self-care session would be complete without a relaxing candle burning in the background, and Olivia Michael Candle Co’s Enchanted Forest candle is perfect for capturing the essence of the season without being overly festive; something which is great to use well into the new year.

The candle is beautifully boxed and combines rapeseed and coconut wax which makes it both clean-burn and vegan-friendly. The amber jar with neutral label fits in with any décor, with hints of gold for that added luxury. The scent is perfectly balanced and not overwhelming at all, filling the room with a woodland aroma that is fresh and a real treat for the senses. If you’re looking to give the gift of home fragrance this Christmas, Olivia Michael Candle Co is a fantastic option.

Blooming Lovely Botanics: Velvet Coffee Eye Serum – £18.50

The lead-up to Christmas can be a restless time for many so giving the gift of a luxurious eye product that is perfect for dark circles and puffy eyes will certainly be an appreciated gift this Christmas. Blooming Lovely Botanics Velvet Coffee Eye Serum helps to de-puff and nourish the under-eye area instantly, invigorating the senses with a vanilla and coffee blend. The moisturising yet highly absorbent oil is perfect for use under make-up too, brightening and smoothing the under-eye area without leaving any greasy residue on the skin. If you’re looking for a stocking filler that delivers impressive results, then this is a great option for that special someone on Christmas morning.

Salt & Green: Soap Gift Set – £20.00

When it comes to eco-friendly gifting, beautiful handmade soaps are always a great choice, especially when they are as good as Salt & Green’s Soap Gift Set. This drawstring bag of soapy goodness is a plastic-free, vegan friendly gift that is great for all ages and genders, making it perfect for teachers, travel enthusiasts, gardeners and such like.

This would also make for a great secret Santa gift, as well as a little treat for yourself, as with three varieties included, you’re sure to find your new favourite soap bar for 2026.

Thoughtful Gifts under £30

Wild and Rooted Skincare: Body Butter – From £22.00

Nothing says nourished skin quite like a luxurious body butter and Wild and Rooted Skincare’s capsule collection is certainly no exception. The whipped body butters combine shea and mango butters, alongside sea buckthorn and essential oils, to intensely moisturise the skin and leave it smelling incredible too. I love the fact that Wild and Rooted Skincare have selected both a fruity and floral version within their range, offering an uplifting or relaxing aroma for daytime or evening use. If you’re looking to give the gift of nourished skin this Christmas, then Wild and Rooted Skincare’s Body Butters are the perfect choice.

The Winter can play havoc with dry hands but thankfully Tam Mason’s Hand Scrubs are the perfect treat, with a nourishing scrub that leaves hands looking and feeling at their best. This beautiful Christmas Hand Care Set is stunning, with a birchwood bowl that makes it a visually appealing piece of home décor as well as a natural hand care treat.

This is a great option for gardeners, those who spend a lot of time outdoors or simply for someone who wants to take care of their hands. What I love most is that there are 10 scents to chose from, including an unscented option for sensitive skin, so you can truly make this a bespoke gift for someone special.

Battle Green: Vegan Self-Care Essentials Set – £23.95

When it comes to gifting direct to someone special, letterbox gifts are a great option as it takes the hassle of organising deliveries around someone’s busy life. I personally love this Vegan Self-Care Essentials Set from Battle Green as it makes for a lovely introduction to plastic-free beauty, with self-care essentials including face mask, lip balm, soap and reusable bamboo cotton pads in a cotton wash bag.

Battle Green showcases that environmentally friendly products can perform just as well – if not better – than conventional products. What makes Battle Green letterbox gifts unique is that you can also choose which scents you’d like to include, making the gift even more special for the lucky recipient.

Their certified vegan products, that are all plastic free, always deliver exceptional results with luxurious formulations that make them perfect for gifting. Their Body Cream is perfect for giving the gift of soft skin, helping to keep even the driest of skin types nourished during the cooler weather. The blend of cocoa butter, safflower, calendula, vitamin E, amyris, and rose geranium is a treat for the skin and senses alike, with a generous size that will last well into 2026.
