Burt's Bees Christmas Gift Sets

I can't quite believe how quickly this year has gone by, it really is true when people say time goes by quicker the older you get, The only thing making the quick year a little more exciting is the build up to Christmas. Anyone who knows me will tell you just how much I love Christmas, especially the lead up and even more especially the Christmas shopping. So you can just about imagine my excitement when Burt's Bees got in touch and asked if I'd like to try out a couple of the gift sets from the Christmas 2014 range.

First up is the very cute little A Bit of Burt's Bees Set*, which includes a Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and a Refreshing Lip Balm with Pink Grapefruit. The cuticle butter is a bit of a cult product now, I've had this before and really love it, the scent is so fresh and uplifting and the butter nourishes the cuticles without being too greasy. I am a big fan of the Burt's Bees lip balms, but I'd never tried this scent before and again like the cuticle butter it is so fresh and uplifting. These scents make such a nice change from the usual sweet or spicy scents people tend to receive at Christmas, lovely to use on cold dark mornings when your dreaming of sunnier times. This is a great little gift or stocking filler, personally I'd probably purchase something like this as a secret Santa as both of these products are serious beauty staples.

The Natural Necessities Collection*, which includes a Beeswax Lip Balm, Replenishing Pomegranate Lip Balm, Ultimate Hand Cream and the Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. Just like the last set the balms and cuticle butter make perfect gifts as they are such great quality products. The hand cream in this set is so good, perfect for winter worn hands, this is really nourishing and soothing on the hands, but still packs a punch when it comes to sorting out dry skin. I think this is the perfect set for any lady in your life as it's completely fail safe, who doesn't love having good quality, natural everyday products? The sets are also presented so beautifully as well, so if wrapping isn't your thing then it doesn't really matter all that much. Again a perfect secret Santa option and also a great extra for any girls in your life.

The sets are widely available from lots of different retailers and on-line stores, from Boots to Look Fantastic. I am so excited to be finally kicking off the count down to Christmas, keep checking back over the next few weeks for many more gift ideas and inspiration. However, always remember the number one rule for Christmas shopping, you need to buy yourself presents too, that's totally an official rule...I promise.
